Happy Birthday Virgil Finlay

They Walk Among Us

Sunnydale? Bon Temps? Add Springfield, Ohio to the list. Once a quaint happy town where everybody knew one another and everybody had a smile for one another.
Now it's overrun with vampires, werewolves & such. Fortunately we've got some middle aged guy & a couple teenage girls fighting to defend us with their Slayer Covenant.
The Daily Mail reports on a middle aged man who took his fantasy world seriously & enlisted teenage girls to join him.
It's kinda strange. I'm into a lot of the crazy science fiction, supernatural stuff Mr Edwards is into and, as such, frequently find myself in contact with young people & even kids online.
A. I keep my fantasy world out of the real world.
B. When I am dealing with yunguns, I am very guarded in what I say & frequently don't say anything. I sure as hell don't recruit kids.
In one of Edwards' videos he talks about how monsters exist. I think he got that right.

Party of Bizarro World Condemns World of Warcraft Candidate
In what kinda sounds like a Dr Who v. Star Trek battle, the Maine GOP BOP have attacked Democratic state senate candidate, Colleen Lachowicz, for playing World of Warcraft. I can understnd their fear. Who wouldn't vote for a candidate that looks like this?They seek to confuse voters with the real life politician & her past time RPG character. If you're old enough you might remember the Dan Quayle / Murphy Brown nonsense. The slips into dementia were sporadic back then. It seems the total break with reality is nearly complete as the Bizarro Old Party grapples with modern technology.
