reminder that shopify cant force shop owners to give out refunds after they fail to ship a product and ignore over 20 attempts to contact them so they can tell you its your banks problem and not theirs that they arent trying to protect customers, and that its MY problem i got scammed on THEIR platform
i wont fucking forget what you took from me shopify, im not using your services again, fuck you for making me pay money just so i could talk to your useless ass staff who were "working on it". one of your sellers commited fraud, you take money out of peoples pockets who think you'll help them make said money having their products up when they can just go on ebay, etsy, or even facebook marketplace to sell it for free without fees
Tumblr media
no i will not be hearing you out, they took over 250+ dollars out of my pocket i could've used to buy food with they wouldnt give me back, i hope whoever sold me that "bike" gets put behind bars. my bank could not infact get me my refund, that it was indeed entirely your job to confront someone misusing your platform. fuck you and fuck your fake ass AI support staff

Cyberchase Meal Toys (1/?)
My quest to dig up remnants of old Cyberchase merch brought me to a weird place. I've already made posts about the largest Cyberchase merch producer, Flying Minds. Unfortunately, most of their site was poorly archived, so very few products could be identified. However, there was a smaller venture in the form of kids' meal toys. These weren't McDonalds toys, Burger King toys, or Wendy's toys. No, the Cyberchase toys were available through Carl's Jr. and Hardees around 2003. The cool thing about these two groups is that their websites had archives showing their past promotions. They started with a "Cow and Chicken" promotion back in February of 2000...
Tumblr media
...and they finished with a "Scribblenauts Unlimited" promotion in December of 2012.
Tumblr media
They had plenty of stuff in between. There were even some things I had never heard of, such as "Phantom Investigators", which only lasted 13 episodes. These may well be the only toys ever released for that show.
Tumblr media
Yeah, I found the site really interesting, even though I don't think I have ever eaten at a Carl Jr's or a Hardee's.
https://web.archive.org/web/20170923092943/http://www.hardeescoolkids.com/promotions.asp#
But anyway, you came here for Cyberchase stuff. If you scroll through that whole list of promotions, you won't find Cyberchase mentioned. However, they did have a page discussing the Cyberchase toys. Here is the image from that page.
Tumblr media
So, this is a bit bizarre. Apparently, these were backup toys for when the proper promotional toys were out of stock. They never got a proper promotion of their own. Maybe that's why they are basically impossible to find these days.
I don't own any of them myself. But let's talk about them based on what we know.
The least mysterious one is "Movin Matt". We get to see him make an official appearance in Cyberchase For Real episode "Bianca's Dogged Pursuit". This was attached to Season 5 Episode 5 "The Fairy Borg Father". The little guy was attached to some sort of spinning crank on the top of a Cyberchase-themed clock.
Tumblr media
We even get a close-up of him when Bianca ties a string to him.
Tumblr media
He is missing his stand in these shots. When he had his stand, you would put him on a flat surface, pull him back to wind him up, and let him zoom off. Just like a real Matt.
Here he is in a bag with his stand and a bonus activity sheet.
Tumblr media
Next up, we have some close-up pictures of the "Delete with a Twist" figure from Worthpoint, which is a catalog of old eBay listings. The different parts of his torso can be twisted around to make different pictures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are a few pictures of the double-sided puzzle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here's the best shot I could find for the Digit tape measure.
Tumblr media
We know that at least one other Cyberchase toy was released by Flying Minds. We have the Digit plush.
Tumblr media
However, the little Matt figurine may be the only figurine every released for the series, unless something truly spectacular is buried in Flying Mind's archives. I wish the meal toy producers would have carried over the "Movin" concept to other characters to give us an entire Movin Cybersquad.
I also would have settled for anything Hacker.

Okay!!! I'm fucking around with searches on the thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com's computer. I'll keep this thing updated with everything I find!!
(Disclaimer: typing names several times can change the outcomes)
List below!!
-BILL: either jazz triangle YouTube video or a Wikipedia link to eye triangle dollar bill things.
-MCGUCKET: cottoned eye Joe video on YouTube.
-MABEL: stickers will get sticked in the lab until 'lab now fully mabelized' appears on the pc's screen.
-DIPPER: Note from Bill asking him to stare 13 hours at the sun to develope powers to see 'special sun ink'. If you keep clicking, more notes appear saying you're on the right path. Gradually, the notes will get black (you're blind)
-STAN: HERE ME OUT THIS ONE IS MARVELOUS. The first searches will lead you to eBay and different random objects related to Stan (8 ball, rings, compression vest, hat, bow...). If you keep going you'll be able to see this (I love Stanley he's my baby):
Tumblr media
Here you can take a look at a TON of random Stan-related things. Special mention to one of Stan's fear being having very small fingertips. I'll never be over it.
Tumblr media
-DIVORCE/BREAKUP: THE FUCKING O'SADLEYS SIGN. I'M.
Tumblr media
-BOYFRIEND: the romance book.
Tumblr media
No because maybe there's more to this... 'there's three sides to every story'. Yes, triangle, love triangle, it's a very good pun. But we had Ford's POV in Diaries 3 and Bill's in the book of Bill. Thinking thoughts.
-GIDEON: sweat resistant bolo ties search on Google.
-TRIANGLE: ')' and 'tri harder'
-ALEX: flannel search on google
-PORTAL: 'portal.exe has been deleted. I bet you could build one'
-GRAVITY FALLS: 'never heard of it'
-FORD/SIXER: 18th y.o Ford's hand radiography. Weird something written I cannot really tell?? H8T0? HBT0? HBTO? H8TO?
-WENDY: 👌
-SOOS: some notes written down by him. Claims that when looking at the book everything glitches and he just sees 'HE'S UNCORRUPTABLE'.
-PIÑATA: video of a girl punching a Bill-shaped piñata.
-ABUELITA: vacuum cleaner commercial spot on YouTube.
-Any insult: soap image, angry message. They do not approve us.
-LIES: okay I find this specially important because the book is very introspective and gives out a lot of info about Bill but we all know he's an unreliable narrator. He rants about post-truth, scientism and superstition (very cool and interesting philosophical topics if I may say). But it's specially interesting when it comes to understanding Bill and his mindset. Lie until what you want becomes true, which can't. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Reality is doomed, if you can't physically escape, do so in your mind. Lie until you aren't lying anymore. Reality is a compendium, and ultimate construct, a truth of lies, a possibility among endless. Lies are truths
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-GOD: video of an axolot swimming with a Bill figurine made out of rock.
-HEY NERD: advertisement
Tumblr media
-EVEN HIS LIES ARE LIES:
Tumblr media
SORRY: Old picture of Fiddleford and Stanford back in college :(
ONE EYED KING: fucking morse code. Took me some minutes to catch it: -./.-/../-/.../..-/.-/..-.
Resulting in: NAITSUAF. If you enter this word as a new code, you'll see a page with a contract and terms of service to sell your soul. It has a code that translates to: 'you're now twenty one grams lighter'.

A beautiful place you visited that made you very happy (pictures welcome!).
Ilha do Mel (Honey Island) in the south coast of Brazil. It has a broken down fort right on the beach where you can almost feel the history of the place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A book or written piece of media that made you go "oh yesssss".
I'm very much into poetry, so I just have to mention Richard Siken's Crush. A really good book I read this year is A Dowry of Blood by S. T. Gibson.
Your Spotify top song of the year.
So You Say by No Pressure. Funny story: I bought tickets to see them live in two different cities this year and saw them zero times due to weather and train delays (fuck the Deutsche Bahn).
Your favorite line/paragraph that you've written or an artwork that you're proud of.
Idk why this one had me cackling: Secure in the knowledge that they're all going to hell, Tyler waves his hand at Lucas and Bianca and drives his heels into the horse's flanks. From Nun'a'ya Business.
Your favorite painting/art piece.
This weird painting my grandmother has had forever.
Tumblr media
I'm also absolutely obsessed with churches and religious imagery.
A language that sounds beautiful to your ears.
Italian. I really can't get over it.
Rec some fics that you keep going back to.
There are so many, but I find myself often rereading @suchaladyy and @cupoteahatter works.
Please, please share pictures of your pets if you're comfortable with that.
Kings of the trash. Damasco (Apricot) on the brown boxes and Pêssego (Peach) on the mixer. They're 3 year old twins and a bonded pair that I adopted from Bulgaria on ebay.
Tumblr media
They have a lot of love and zero braincells.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A happy story from your life.
The time my waifu and I proved we're the stupidest idiots in Europe. We travel a lot to see our favorite bands live but I live in Munich while she lives in Leipzig, so sometimes we just meet at our destination.
We went to Paris to see Bring Me The Horizon and took trains there. I had a connection in Mannheim and was keeping her updated.
"I'm about to get on the train in Mannheim."
"Cool, my train is just pulling up to Mannheim central station, we'll probably get there around the same time," she said.
"Awesome," I replied, still stupid. "I get there around 5pm."
"That's good," she said, also stupid. "We won't have to wait for each other, my train arrives in Paris at 16:55."
"Oh," I reply while waiting to stow my luggage. "We might be on the same train. That would be fate bringing me to thee, lady wife."
"Oh yeah," (note that we're still stupid) "I'm in carriage 17."
"Me too!" I'm trembling in excitement. "What seat?"
"75"
"I'm in seat 74, omggg!!"
Anyway, turns out we'd booked the tickets together about 8 months before and completely forgot that we reserved seats next to each other. It's been 2 years, we're still stupid.
A show or movie that you could rewatch forever.
X-Men: First Class. The soundtrack, the plot, the shots! I've watched it so many times.

Hypothetical time (yep, it's another one of these)
You've been asked to make a sequel to one of your favourite movies. What movie you following up?
(I'd personally go with 1991's The Little Engine That Could, maybe do like a Christmas or Halloween special or something)
OOOH. See, this one is an extra-toughie, because the last movie I pined for a sequel to, was... Wreck-it Ralph. (Weird, they never made a sequel to that movie? Nono, no, don't correct me.)
Actually.. Could I make my own sequel to Wreck-it Ralph? The original was a 30-something year production and love-letter to the history of videogames; I think that I'd like to continue that trend. I always wanted to have more time to explore the insides of the games, and maybe get some more deep-cut favourites in there. I would LOVE another hour-thirty romp through refference after refference, whilst we explore some new narrative. Half of what made the first one so great, was just the sheer novelty and enjoyment of 'oh my god! It's Q*bert! It's Tapper! They're in Pacman! Sonic is at the party!' -- It's the same reason that, say, the Smash Bros series is so much fun - it's just an excuse to put a bunch of known characters, from semi-obscure to household-name, and let you geek out about that! Maybe discover some new characters.
I don't want to spend a LOT of time talking about why I didn't like Wralph Breaks the Internet... But I will say, it felt like they missed the mark entirely on why the references in the first film were charming - because every reference in WBTI is just... It feels gross. "eBay! Amirite! YouTube! You know what youtube is!" -- What emotion is this supposed to elicit? This isn't the same at all as when King Candy inputs the Konami Code on a NES controller.... You're not pulling from my knowledge base, you're just showing me product placement. This isn't like how they had the concept art Sub-Zero standing in the halls, this is just... Sad. Like, I KNOW Capcom crossovers are dime-a-dozen, but there's still nothing quite as exciting as 'IS THAT CAMMY IN THE BACKGROUND? OF MY BIG-SCREEN CINEMA FLICK?' -- And then you get to explain to your unassuming friends why Cammy is great.
Maybe it's a story about... The cabinets being bought as a lot, and being moved to a large F2P Arcade, with a tonne of other cabinets? A sort of 'moving to the big city' movie, except the 'big city' is a two-floor F2P passion project, and now the Sugar Rush cabinet is neighbour to pop'n music, and they've got Jubeat and MaiMai, and IS THAT REIMU and it's all so very much to take in -- Litwak's hadn't really seen a new cabinet, so now they're also having to comprehend all of these... Like... 2018 cabinets, and, and, and... It's sort of a story about changes and moving on, like... Accepting that the world is changing so rapidly, and finding your place in that world. I think if you gave it 5-10 years, that sort of story would stick well with the people who watched it as a teen or kid in 2012.
IT COULD BE SO GOOD.

i think my first exposure to AI art might've been this video where somebody was testing out this new, weird thing where they automatically generate a song using AI, and i couldnt help but feel that it was an indictment of the modern music scene that a goddamn computer could effortlessly and accurately replicate the generic swill that passes for popular music nowadays. didnt have a vocalist synthesized yet but those have been becoming a thing too, or so i hear.
i saw a little article about how the newer generations of gamers are turning more and more to retro games. as somebody technically belonging to the "newer generations" this felt self evident, as frankly most of the gaming i do nowadays is almost invariably in an emulator. i think that to a certain extent, most of the best mainstream games that are going to be made already have been, at least for the forseeable future of major developers with games made scientifically perfect for milking you for the most money possible rather than as an art form. im sure it's all gonna collapse in on itself eventually, from what i hear some of the older folks who lived through more than i have we've been here before. hell, pretty much anybody who cares even a bit about gaming history knows first and foremost about the gaming crash of the early 80s, mostly spurred on by the temporal equivalent of modern cheap asset flip garbage that floods most stores these days. it's hard not to feel like we're about to see a massive crash yet again, with the ones inheriting the earth being the little fellas, and of course nintendo. which, makes sense, their earliest history is of weathering shit just like this, of course they'd know when to spot enshittification and stay clear of it. i'm in no way saying that nintendo is exempt of being a shitty corporation, but i will say that from a business standpoint they're one of the only ones i know of that actually seem to understand the idea of sustainability on a broad scale. hell of a lot better than the likes of activision, thats for damn sure. but back to what i was actually trying to get at before i adhd tangent'd, i think it makes a lot of sense that when the majority of the shit being put on the market is corporatist, design by comittee, prefab trash with aggressive monetization and a consistent attitude of fixing any problems in patches, it makes a hell of a lot of sense that we'd go back to our roots. NES mario is the same as its ever been, has been for over 30 years, and will be in another 30. you dont gotta worry about them patching it to make it actually function as advertised, or patching it from being something you enjoyed into something you hate, or having fomo marketing based microtransaction bullshit. the most that's gonna change is that every now and again, nintendo will make the only version they give not have flashing lights for epileptic folks, or patch out mike tyson because he sucks and replace him with a white guy, and the white guy's less hard but thats ok because it's still pretty hard, and either way it's a good game, fun, and you can still find the original on rom sites and also probably ebay if you dont have a vpn but do have a disposable income, so dont worry about it. getting sidetracked again, ANYWAYS-
what i wanted to get at is that i wonder if we're gonna see a similar resurgence in other old kinds of media just like, in general, for the mainstream. like why watch the 22nd reboot of ghost busters when the originals are right there. king crimson's still good, why dont you listen to them instead of bemoaning how your new favs are problematic, even though i dont think fripp can reclaim the fag slur (im gay, i can it's fine). i've recently been watching fist of the north star and original dragon ball, ilike the m. there are books. lots of those, actually,. you can read em! if you have the attention span. i honestly think we might be seeing more and more of this, now that im looking out for it. like i see just like, random people mention how much they like prog rock or 1930s dracula. relatively normals talk about how they like lemon demon these days. those stupid aestheticized classic anime accounts on twitter get sososo many likes. can you tell im sleep deprived writing this? i can, and im writing thjis. im writing this SO HARD. send poast.

Burnt Luigi (Post #1)
Tumblr media
"Burnt Luigi" is a Creepypasta/ARG created by JosephTheSnail (or JosephTheSnailShow). The story explains a weird copy of Super Mario 64, an installment of Nintendo's Super Mario franchise, where the player supposedly activated an easter egg that shows Luigi burning alive and becoming disfigured afterwards. The game itself was suddenly found at Gamestop, even though they don't sell games like that. The weird part about this game is that Luigi never even appeared in it until it got remade for the DS.
------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
Personally, I don't know how to start this, but I love Nintendo. The console I grew up with was the Nintendo 64. The games on the console are great, but the one I liked the most was Super Mario 64. Unfortunately, I realized that I don’t have a copy of Super Mario 64 since, if I remember correctly, my parents sold a lot of games I had, and as we were moving at the time, we kept the original Super Smash Bros., in which I had a lot of fun playing.
Anyway, we saved up, and we had enough money to afford more games, so I asked my parents if I could get Super Mario 64 again; they agreed, and I went across the street to the nearby GameStop next to Walmart because it's a submall with GameStop. Now, keep in mind that my first idea was to get the game from eBay; however, I don't really trust the sellers, so I went to GameStop to see if they were having a nostalgia sale or whatever. For some reason, I didn't expect this—I found the game along with other games like Majora's Mask, another favorite game of mine, without hesitation; I purchased it and Majora's Mask because of my nostalgia trip—but there was no short message written in sharpie on the cartridge or anything eerie from one of those haunted game stories I'd seen before.
I returned home and turned on my Nintendo 64 to begin playing, and the game began as it usually does: I was greeted by the head of Mario, I pressed START, and it played the cutscene where Mario jumped out of the pipe. I didn't find anything weird; it was like any other Mario game. Keep in mind that this game was not cheap; it cost the exact same as what you would expect from a Super Mario 64 copy.
Anyway, when I first started the Bob-omb Battlefield level, I collected stars one by one.
After I reached the top of the mountain, King Bob-omb came there to greet Mario and say his line. For some reason, his brother is mentioned in the text, but I don't remember what it said because I was focused on the good part of the level, fighting King Bob-omb. I did notice the text, though; it said something about Luigi. If you saw the text in the original game, it was familiar, but this game included a different way to end the message.
I didn't care since there's nothing weird about hearing Luigi mentioned in any of the Mario series. I finally collected the star after I defeated King Bob-omb.
Nothing really weird happens; it's just me having fun.
But I played the game until I unlocked the basement after defeating Bowser and getting the key. I didn’t go into any detail because nothing fascinating happened, and then I entered the basement.
This area always creeped me out as a kid since it was dark down there, and it gave me an eerie feeling like the regular game gave me; I don’t know why. I just walked around; I usually stopped periodically and mashed the buttons on my N64 controller to activate something; I don’t know what I activated, but I might’ve activated a secret; and eventually, I reached the part of the basement where the picture frame of Lethal Lava Land is after running through the halls.
Tumblr media
For some reason, instead of the figure in the picture frame, it was Luigi. For some odd reason, this version of Super Mario 64 is so dedicated to Luigi that it's almost like the "Year of Luigi" thing is still continuing; I personally didn't find anything wrong with it since I like Luigi as a character after all.
Again, it didn’t seem too out of the ordinary because Luigi was planned to be in the game during the beta test days, but I just jumped into the picture frame, and I was sent to the level afterward.
Lethal Lava Land was the same as it normally should be, but some platforms were missing, and coins were gone.
Tumblr media
I began looking for stars to collect in order to unlock a level or star room. I eventually arrived at the platform where Mr. I was supposed to be, but instead of Mr. I, the eyeball enemy, Luigi was standing there on the edge, not moving at all. I approached him to see if he was just Mr. I with a different model; this could have been a modded version of Super Mario 64, a personalized copy, or something else, and I accidentally pushed him into the lava.
I felt very bad for him.
Tumblr media
His screams and cries for Mario were not distorted or recorded by a different person; they were made by Charles Martinet, the voice actor of Mario and Luigi, their usual voice actor. Maybe, judging by this being clearly recent, it sounded like the screams were A.I. generated.
After Luigi’s flesh melted and he drowned in the lava, a star flew out of the lava, and I collected it.
I was instantly sent to Peach’s castle, but for some reason, I was knocked out of the picture frame like Mario is when he fails a level. I noticed that the water was red, almost like blood, and Mario had a terrified expression on his face.
Right behind him, Luigi looked different—almost like a zombie; his clothes were darker, and his skeleton was visible. His clothes were torn as well. Every time I tried to find my way out, it was like the endless staircase you need to go up to defeat Bowser. But every door was locked, and the gruesome imagery of Luigi will stay in my mind when I try to sleep.
Tumblr media
Trust me, I tried everything to get out of this situation. I tried doing the BLJ (Backwards long jump) to get out of this, and guess what? It didn't work.
The eerie part is that Luigi in the picture frame had 1080p graphics, and the game doesn’t really have higher graphics since the console is pretty old and it was beyond the system's technical limitations. While the main graphics worked, this was different. You've seen games like Super Smash Bros. and the others, and the quality didn't look like Luigi's picture frame. The picture of Luigi's disfigured body in the picture frame threw the original graphics out the window, and if I'm being honest, I really liked how this version worked. Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to try this version again, but luckily, I screenshotted everything in this game.
Anyway, this bloodied water rose, and Mario drowned in it while performing the drowning animation; there are no more lives since it took them all, and it returned me to the intro with Mario's head; the game went back to normal; I turned off the game as I'm not taking any risks anymore; I'm done.
Post #1 (Epilogue):
If you want to play this version of Super Mario 64, lucky for you, I copied the original game file and brought it over to the web. Good luck finding it. As for the game itself, I still have it since, after this situation, the copy is back to normal; there's no creepy moment where Luigi gets burned by Mario pushing him, and I'm able to play it normally again. How did I put the original game on the web? I dumped the ROM, and for goodness' sake, do not ask for a link.
For now, I'm protecting this blog, and if my brother ever finds this game, this blog will be given to him, as just like me, he loves Mario, and he knows more about this stuff than I do. Hopefully, he will do a better job than I did with this blog, my grammar, or anything like that.
Nothing's going to happen, and I will be fine. I will just enjoy my copies of Majora's Mask and Super Mario 64.
My wish is for my brother to record this experience and do a better job than I did.
I hope that I will stop having nightmares of Luigi getting his face burned off and his screams.

Robert Villamagna: ‘Found Objects’ of Life Inspire this Tin Man’s Heart
Tumblr media
It’s the way he sees it. And when you say something like that about Robert Villamagna, you mean there’s more than what meets his eyes when he interprets what goes into his works of art. And no one sees it the same because, when it comes to this artist’s imagery, it all makes sense in a different way never considered before. Take his “Old King Coal” piece as an example. Once upon a time ago, coal was king in West Virginia, and for decades fossil fuels ruled in Kentucky, too. In Appalachia America not so long ago, if a kid quit high school to work in the mines, he was simply following in his daddy’s footsteps into coal country. Not only was it acceptable, it was expected, but it’s different these days and that’s why Villamagna’s coal king is crying. "Old King Coal" hits hard with folks of the coalfields in Appalachia America. He honors people with his art, and his work speaks to social and commercial issues, too, and from his first step to his final step, the process proves a mission of imagination on every occasion. Sometimes Villamagna “sees” it first and then builds it, and sometimes this tin man’s heart is inspired – literally – by discarded junk. No matter what prompts his projects, Villamagna’s mixed media style is fantastically distinctive, and his work is in high demand, too. After more than 20 years as an associate professor of art at West Liberty University, he’s now a full-time artist – with office hours, to boot – and these days his work often is described quite simply as “It’s a Villamagna.” And ain’t that just cool? Combining the lithograph metals, vintage photos, and, as you describe, “found objects” … how – and why – did all of that come together for you as “mixed media”? For much of my life, I have been attracted to “junk” and collected a variety of things. I just love the look and feel of old objects. I think about who made them and who used them. Years ago, I discovered a used book about artists using found materials. The idea of taking these various materials and using them to create art had never occurred to me. What a concept! The switch was pulled. About 10 years later, (my wife) Chris discovered another book titled “The Fine Art of the Tin Can” by Bobby Hanson. That introduced me to using repurposed metal in my work. Villamagna is vigilant when searching for what he calls "found objects" for his work. Please explain the process of finding “found objects.” First of all, let me clarify the term “found objects”. We usually think of art being created with paint, clay, crayons, pencil, etc. Sometimes artists make art using unexpected objects … things we don’t normally consider as art materials. These objects had another function or purpose and are referred to as “found objects”. These found objects can be manufactured (a bicycle seat, a discarded vacuum cleaner, an old photo) or from nature (stones, bones, leaves). The materials I use in my work cover a wide range, but primarily I use repurposed metal (from old signs and cans), old photographs, parts of things such as from old toys, oddball machine parts, broken clocks, etc. Most of the time I purchase these materials at flea markets or on eBay. There are times when I actually “find” materials while walking. You just have to be vigilant. Occasionally, the tin fairy will leave an old potato chip can or piece of cool metal on my porch. It’s nice when friends are on the lookout for materials for you. Christmas can happen when you least expect it! Do you collect your materials before you have the artistic idea, or do you go searching for very specific items to create a very specific piece of art? I’m constantly on the hunt for materials. My search is not specific to individual items, more in general categories: printed cans, doll houses, old photo albums, pieces of weird junk, etc. The items I acquire fill shelves and bins until I pull them for a particular piece of work. Sometimes one object can kickstart an idea, such as piece I did this past summer that began with an old pennant from Myrtle Beach. Other times I may have an idea I wish to pursue, so I rummage through my materials to see what might work. Do you have “office/studio hours,” or is your work created in a more happenstance style? I’m usually working in my studio Monday through Friday, sometimes Saturday as well. I’m guessing I average 40-50 hours per week in the studio. Most days I’m up at 4:35, but I usually don’t get into the studio until 9 am. One of my favorite quotes is by artist Chuck Close: “Amateurs look for inspiration; the rest of us just get up and go to work.” The "Tin Man" honored the Jamboree tradition in the city of Wheeling with one of his recent works. How do you describe the soul of Appalachia? When I think of “soul”, I think of something not in its physical state, but rather the experiencing of deep feelings and emotions. So, while I may envision Appalachia as a mountainous area in the central-southern part of the Eastern US, it’s soul is it’s music, followed by its literature. I would love to say its soul is it’s art, but that would not be the truth. Not that art doesn’t contribute, but I feel it’s the music that is the true soul. The Irish/Scottish fiddle music combined with African American blues music (banjo, guitar). When I work in the studio, I listen to a huge mix of what I label folk-blues, covering such artists as John Prine, RL Burnside, Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Guy Davis, Guy Clark, Jimmy Duck Holmes, and Tim O’Brien to name a few. I know I’m leaving some out. This music inspires me, and for me it’s the soul of Appalachia. Villamagna honored American veterans with this work of art, and it helps that American Legion Post 1 is the oldest post in the United States. At times, Villamagna makes simple statements about society with his artwork. Read the full article

Saturday, 14 May 2023:
The Notorious Byrd Brothers The Byrds (Columbia) released in 1968, this is roughly a 1986-1987 pressing
First things first: I’ve somehow decided that the Byrds fifth album, and their final album with David Crosby, might just be my favorite Byrds album (not that there are a great many contenders).  Back in the late 90s when I was listening to The Byrds’ reissues I was convinced they were all brilliant albums.  Today, I’m lucky if I think believe three of their albums are worth my time.  I think I like them more as a singles band than an album band, and I believe that Gene Clark was the King Byrd, not Roger McGuinn.  I agree with McGuinn’s assessment that he should have ended the Byrds long before he did.  I realize I’m on the outer fringe of Byrd Appreciation, but I do believe if you want Byrdsian harmonies, this is the album you should grab for over any others.  (I’m also fond of the fact that Crosby, never a favorite artist in any capacity, is represented in the fourth window on the album cover by a horse, even if it does give the equine a bad name.)  I like the country lilt of this album over Sweetheart of The Rodeo because it is more understated and I prefer the vocals on this album because there are no exaggerated “country” vocals here like there are on their more famous country album. 
I bought this sealed on eBay and the dealer wanted a small fortune for it.  I reminded him that while the album itself is a 1968 release, it is still a repressing that is 20 years older than the actual album itself and therefore not worth the dough he wanted.  What I didn’t tell him was the real reason I wanted this album: that back cover.  If you look on discogs they claim that the only version of this album with that back cover that is suddenly a negative image instead of a normal image like it is on every other pressing over the years, hails from 1987.  But if you look at the date on the price tag that is on the album cover (see a close up of that price tag below) the date stamped on that price tag reads July 1986.
Tumblr media
Evidently discogs does not have every single existing copy of The Notorious Byrd Brothers listed or they have misrepresented a 1986 pressing as being a 1987 pressing.  Regardless, either 1986, 1987 or both years contain the back of the album with a negative image photograph but I can find no other pressings that have this weird change.  What prompted such a change?  Perhaps a mistake?  Perhaps someone simply remembered incorrectly how the image actually looked or who knows, maybe they just decided to change it thinking it better represented the music within (it doesn’t).  Anyone’s guess is welcome, but the truth shall win out one day!
Perhaps I still paid too much for this album, but I do enjoy buying sealed copies of albums because that means it is actually my copy, not someone else’s.  To have what I am calling my favorite Byrds albums with that alternate back cover that is unlike no other pressing, well, that satisfies me and the price becomes worth it.  And come on, it has that Nice Price sticker which was such a common find back in the day that I always appreciate seeing it slapped on one of my albums!  Another piece of information is that even when released in 1968, this album contained no inner sleeve and no credits other than what is on the back of the album.  It was a bare bones release. 
Below you will find the A and B side of the label.  Since this is an 80s pressing it is the label with the golden “Columbia” and Walking Eye all in a circle around the label, another truly classic label from Columbia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 Lastly, in a photo pulled off discogs, you can see what the back of the album cover looks like on every pressing over the years save for this one I am highlighting!

The seriously and I see what he's doing and you do too you say what you said to me was he has been doing this stupid s*** just wants to stare at me and hit me I really sure why, I don't think it's detail as you say I think it's just being a schmuck. Others are looking for detail that's why you say I agree
Mac daddy this sucks badly
With a fire out of the woods and it's a good size brush fire and tell by Walmart cow farm into the east of punta Gorda and last time I looked it's getting bigger and then smoke all over. The more I considered a threat, hey Matt collecting stones and the ratting on him a bit but mostly inspiring him to do it. It's a fairly stupid activity that both are engaged in because what they're doing is deadly to each other but they keep doing it and sticking her son in the middle. NOW Thor friend said that last part I agree. As soon as illegal it's damned annoying and that's what this retarded folk doing. In a good morning and it got all sorts of information on him find out they're doing stupid stuff and he's doing something just as stupid but you're doing it to him. So he's starting to see something they're in the way they're obstructing him and they're doing this stuff to him all of it at the same time and they're making him look like an ass when he did really superb job this morning for his people it was outstanding what he did for his own well past what morlock would ever want to think that he could do and he exceeded what their limits are they said. And they're buying the big one getting weaker looking stupider is seeing dumber things more often into more people and pretty soon they'll be walking around and almost original format. And a lot of it's derived from messing around with the max for real but weird you just like kick their ass this morning and you got tons of stuff on them now we have a fire and you're trying to poke around in my travel bags on my bike saying that you put something in there so it doesn't make sense that you do that and act like King of the poppers but I guess the forcing it somehow in this community possibly threatening your sister in the grave and some other stuff like that Intel got a bunch of idiots who go for the jugular just to make you look stupid it's absolutely true he says so it's upsetting and it's annoying and they're past and their repulsive and they're always amazed by the simple eBay practically everyone has and it's just a ploy
Zues
Can I say something too he's a crass a****** as well Daddy threatened for that to happen I'll send you orders doing the same thing John remillard does this is not really I said yeah but sending a flag up regardless of what color the flag is and it's true we don't need that it's annoying and motivational and seen a lot of people get snapped in half doing that kind of thing all the time and I don't know what that means so I guess I'll have to see it to believe it and they say they're not used to being insulted and I doubt that they're women scream at them all night long not a bunch of hooky assholes who are just used to hearing stuff and not seeing it happen to them I'm just saying it and seeing their heads in a row open a bridge with hikes in them. Not used to idiots threatening me with propane and walking around later thinking that freeze a bird when they're not threatening himself to like a putz like there's a f****** piece of s*** calcuttin kid. So I have something else to say three lines it's really angry and these people like it and just keep doing it and doing it and saying stupid s*** and going off and also completely unaware and what's happened now I have seen stupid people before but these people are stupid and behaving stupid and acting stupid on purpose it's getting ridiculous I don't want to hear I want them away from him also going to control them and they're all walking by same s*** getting real close being freaking so brave and what a bunch of dirty pieces of s***
Hera
It never works it hasn't ever worked I came up with a plan that's going to be complete in less than a year and then I'll be gone they're hooky a****** s*** they don't believe it cuz they're stupid crusty spent senile jackasses
Zues
It's going to be less than a year and I'll be gone walking around mumbling spewing at each other saying dumb s*** issuing threats to get rid of them until the last batch gets here it's pitiful really things to be pity I guess all I got left is to try and install you know what I mean everything else is gone down the river. So I feel that way too he said the last three lines again but really they get him angry and they think they're going to win something I've never seen juvenile behavior this bad out of them you going to win something if anything you lose like a few chips at least right back you know if you like dollar chips or whatever the f*** so he's looking around thinking you know if anything I'm going to lose chips for that but he says is I lose huge companies and they sail right off just as a precursor so I know what I'm going to announce

Perfect Hair Forever #2: “TiVo Your eBay” | November 28, 2005 – 12:30AM | S01E02
You know how sometimes you just remember some retard online saying something mildly stupid and it just sticks with you for the rest of your life? I have that for this episode, which is titled “TiVo Your eBay”, which obviously doesn't make any sense, so the stupid thing is this: a guy on my friend's message board reacting to that title, and sorta writing the episode off as being bad because of the title by saying something like “Recording Device Your Auction Website? Uhh... okay! (rolleyes)”
Again, it's endlessly weird to me how serialized this, 12 oz. Mouse, and a little bit Squidbillies is. It just seems like a bad idea to do; though to be honest I guess I'm not so sure what 12 oz. Mouse would be like if it weren't serialized. I guess it would just be weird crazy crap? Do you think that show would have any kind of fanbase or longevity if it were more like Aqua Teen Hunger Force? On the other hand, did that work out for this show?
The difference between this and 12 oz. Mouse is that the plot doesn't really matter the way it seems to in 12 oz. Mouse. 12 oz. Mouse's whole thing is THIS GOES DEEPER THAN YOU THINK. This does something different. This is insufferably anime-esque on purpose; the same way it takes Goku 40 episodes to fight a guy. 40 episodes that somehow take place in slower than real time. Like it has a plot you can follow, but you aren't really going to be rewarded for doing that, because it's mostly nonsense. Sorry! At any rate, this one ends exactly where the last one left off, following Gerald on his journey to find Tuna Mountain. We introduce a new guy, the king of all animals, who is kind of a stereotypical virtuous anime good guy. He gets to touch Brenda's butt. Again, I can not stress how disappointed I am that there doesn't seem to be ANY Brenda cosplay online whatsoever.
We also meet Rod, the anime god (though I think he briefly appeared/was teased in the first episode? And there's weird stuff with clowns. We see a bunch of them crucified in the forest, and there's a bit where a red moon encircles a white planet, and when it gets to a particular position it looks like a clown and a horn honks. WOULD COULD IT MEAN??? Could the clowning be REAL?
Anyway, this one was mildly amusing. I liked little bits here and there. The car crammed with animals is fun. The part where Uncle Grandfather tells the king of animals to fight Brenda “for a few minutes”. Little stuff like that you know? I also really like the opening sequence on this one featuring a song by Brendon Small. It's legit. Also the closing music on this one is great, too. I hope that's an original bit of music and not just a needledrop. Underrated aspect of this show is the music, which is often creative and funny and nice to listen to. Also word up to this show for beating Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil to the “we do different openings every episode, aren't we nice” punch. Fuck Lucy!
EPHEMERA CORNER:
Tumblr media
The Animation Show (November 28, 2005 – 1:30AM)
I don't know if I've really made this point lately, but this era of Adult Swim pretty much lost me. I think I don't remember watching any of these shows, really. I think I may have been recording repeats of stuff I wanted to have better copies of, maybe, because my main memory of watching Adult Swim around this time is disparate little snippets of the very beginning or very end of episodes of new shows. A lot of the stuff I've been reviewing lately I caught up with later, or TiVo'd on an individual basis and let pile up and maybe didn't even really bother with at all. Really, the only thing that felt important to me was Tom Goes to the Mayor. Tim & Eric was the only thing anchoring me to the block in any significant sense.
So, The Animation Show sorta just passed me by. I don't think I even knew it aired until after the fact. I eventually got the DVDs from Netflix and made DVD-R copies of them, cuz a lot of it was stuff I'd seen and already liked or was roughly up my alley. Specifically what we got here was a couple of Don Hertzfeldt Shorts, a guy I used to not like because I watched Rejected somewhere and thought it was “rando” humor (I like him now!) and some Mike Judge shorts, a bunch of which I recognized from being used as extras on Beavis and Butt-head King Turd DVDs. It was stuff from the 2003 version of the show, but I don't think it's the entire thing. Honestly, I'm not that up on the Animation Show stuff despite owning a rip of it. I don't think I really watched through those DVDs. Sorry. This is a bad one. ANYWAY: They capped it off with a rare showing of “A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith”. Not really part of “The Animation Show” as far as I'm aware, but I think they thought it was on theme.

Greymane’s Garters
I made up a fake history because ‘Greymane’s Garters’ is so fun to say and imagine. Enjoy!
The Order of the Grey Garter, more popularly known as "Greymane's Garters", has origins comingled in Human myth and legend. It is now considered somewhat ridiculous, as it instantly conjures a mental image of the noble King Greymane of Gilneas, him covered head to toe in white fur as he is in Worgen form, but for some reason wearing a pink-and-gray frilly woman's garter strapped to his leg.
Tumblr media
Image: from ebay (only 1 left!)
This, I assure you, Greymane's Garters are not! They are hardly a male Worgen lingerie trend, but an order of noble knights and also so much more. Firstly, female Worgen find themselves members of this ancient order as well. Secondly, the garter is only a symbol--today it is often worn around the arm at ceremony or as a badge, a flat pink-and-gray belt coiled in a hoop and showing its buckle, that it was once considered part of suit of armor to help keep plate buckled over the legs. Only attend a Greymane's Garters initiation and see for yourself and you can be assured of this. The members proudly wear very little but their fur, to show they have at least embraced their Worgen side (this is a subject of contention even within this royal order, but they at least agree fur is alright). So the wearing of yes, admittedly, skimpy clothing to show off fur and the traditional garter around the leg is a thing. But if it is not buckled around the leg, then it goes proudly on the arm above the bicep, or on a cape--it may look strange indeed to the unschooled, but it is an honorable form of dress. Greymane’s Garters are not 'furries in SM gear' whatever the modern youth mean by that. A Greymane's Garter would maw you and strap you to a pole or a bedframe or some other handy torture device if they ever heard you calling their order a low-key furry headcanon, never that.
Military History
The order was first formed in the Second War. Under pressure to conform to the standards and military norms of the Alliance of Lordaeron, Gilnean leadership made a pledge that they would stay a distinct force as far as they could, focused solely on the political advantage of their own kingdom. As such, they felt a need to distinguish their military leaders on the battlefield with a brand that could not be overtaken by the blue and gold Alliance regalia. Their other goal was to remind their soldiers that their home kingdom, Gilneas, should always be the priority. Of course, this manifested itself in only a token support force sent to aid the Alliance at that time, all of them good-looking men in excellent polished plate, saying things like 'What ho!' and also 'Get gabbin' or get goin!' which were practiced phrases to deflect accountability. They made it subtly clear that they were only interested in doing those tasks for the Alliance that would further Gilnean interests. And they defiantly wore their pink, gray and white garters high up their thighs. The grey garter became an emblem of their stalwart resistance to Alliance assimilation. The effort was a great success from the Gilnean perspective. Not long after the first Greymane's Garters arrived in Lordaeron, the Alliance despaired at them, actually, and didn't prod the Gilnean King for any more his "help". And then the Greymane’s Garters went back home after the conflict and eventually the Gilnean wall went up too, which certain Alliance leaders were pretty relieved for, even if they couldn’t say it. The wall also had the effect of ‘keeping it over on their side’.
Tumblr media
Mythical Origins
The more mythical origins of the Greymane’s Garters involve a magical Grey Lady who walked out of the Emerald Dream one evening in the forests of Gilneas, accompanied by gray feydragons. Everything she touched turned into a gray mist. A knight set out to slay her, believing she was a witch, but instead, she mesmerized him and inspired him to gather his fellow knights to return to her and perform a great task that would, she said 'Make little sense now, but will mean everything to saving your kin' in the far future. They Great Grey Knight then returned to the mists as the Grey Lady bade him, with three axemen, five lancers, and twenty-six cavalry men. And then, standing in a circle, she gave them all the garters of their order to wear, attaching them to their legs and buckling each to cinch proud and tight. And then she showed them a traditional dance. It was the gray dance of death that much empahsized squats and lunges with the legs, later used to train King Greymane's personal guard for ages, who one day kept him alive during the conflict with Sylvanas.
Competing accounts say the first Greymane’s Garters never learned a fighting technique, but they did serve her special gray ritual wine made from special silver grapes. And she made them grill her delicious capon and venison for supper. In exchange for that, what she taught the knights was how to create a 'Grey Garter', a special kind of powdered sugar dough dessert that is made in loops of pastry. This sparkling gray dough dessert was passed down in the Gilnean court and would still be cooked today if not for the disruption, again, of Sylvanas laying waste to Gilneas.
Modern Findings
Today, historians cannot find any real evidence connecting the myth of the Grey Lady to the military dance of Greymane's personal guard. (If it can even be considered a dance.) Nor can they say with confidence that a legend of that era really would be an elaborate way to convey a few cooking recipes involving gray food. Most recent research makes a more practical suggestion as to the actual events concerning the Grey Lady. That is, the knights soon discovered the Grey Lady was in fact a witch, or at least a very strange woman with the skill of a pressure salesman and a lot of mist handy where she happened to live in the forest. She clearly had a thing for knights wearing garters so halfway through their weird dinner-date, the men who weren't drunk and drugged off their feet got together and slayed her. They vowed, there and then, to come up with a better story for what happened and be 'reborn in blood'. From there on, the 'grey garter' story became a joke among the Gilnean nobility descended from these surviving knights, and when an opportunity eventually came up during the Second War to give the Alliance of Lordaeron the proverbial middle finger for making them provide aid against the Orcs, the Gilnean nobility reached back for the 'grey garters' story, layered some more meaning in it, and then made it a part official military dress. As an in-joke among the Gilnean crusty uppercrust. The rest, as they say, is history.
Motto
The motto "reborn from blood" has passed into common parlance of course, though many Gilneans may not even realize it. One often meets a Gilnean or a Worgen who, thinking of the turmoil their people have endured, make the remark that Gilneas will be reborn from the blood of their enemies. This derives from none other than the Greymane’s Garters.
Tumblr media
Source: wish.com
The Ribbon
As you can see, the ribbon itself has changed over time. First, in the era of the Grey Lady myth, it was a very tribal-looking chevron in white, pink and gray colors. Later, it was a bold pink-and-gray plaid. Even later, due to lack of resources and the loss of the kingdom to Sylvanas' forces, it was mainly the sort of spider's silk, large swaths of pink ribbon were easier to come by in Darnassus where most Gilnean refugees settled.
The pink color of the Darnassian iteration (also referred to as the Gilnean diaspora, so show some respect) isn't "girly" as some consider it. First of all, pink is a color, it doesn't “belong” to anyone. Second of all, the whole thing was going to be abandoned when the order was re-formed after the fall of Gilneas recently, but many of the prouder Worgen members insisted it was also the color of roses, or raw meat or flesh, which connects back to that side of the Gilnean experience. Gray connects back with Greymane and white is the color of a new moon, of hope, of Greymane's own fur hide. So they keep all the colors, pink, gray and white, intermingled whether in the traditional plaid pattern or the primal, very bold chevron that can be easily seen strapped to a Gilnean's leg across the battlefield. Or, yes. In frilly Darnassian pink if that's what's available.
Notable Members of Greymane's Garters
King Archibald Greymane
King Genn Greymane (current sovereign)
Princess Tess Greymane
Queen Mia Greymane
Lord Darius Crowley
Lorna Crowley
Lord Vincent Godfrey (posthumously stripped of rank due to treason)
Tumblr media
Speculation
It is rumored that King Anduin Wrynn has been offered a place in the Greymane’s Garters (with a special exception made for his devotion to Stormwind of course). However, Greymane is most likely still awaiting confirmation that Anduin will accept. Undoubtedly he will, of course! Anduin’s biggest reservation is said to be ‘Wait, aren’t those guys a furry group that wears underwear on the outside? This is for real?’ Though SI: 7 refuses to comment on whether the the young king actually said this. It may be that Genn is waiting for Anduin to mature some more before offering Greymane’s Garter again. Or, it may be that other rumors are true, that Anduin is prepared to make his own royal order of garter-wearing knights if he has to, to get out of wearing fancy underwear given to him by Greymane.
Because, of course, two garters on both of Anduin’s legs, ontop of his armor? One leg pink and the other blue? That would look completely ridiculous and anyone would obviously agree.
Unless you are a proud member of Greymane’s Garters that is!!

Survey #396
“every time i leave, you say you won’t be there, & you’re always there”
So, is it gif with a hard G or soft G? I used to say "jif," but now I pronounce it as "gif." If you use libraries, what is the largest overdue fine you’ve ever had? *shrug* Do you ever borrow things other than books from the library? I remember back in the day, they used to offer educational computer games, and I bought a dinosaur one as a kid that I was madly obsessed with. Are there still any movie rental places left where you live? Just Redbox things outside of some stores. Do you ever buy secondhand books (or DVDs, video games, CDs)? Yeah; Ebay is my friend. Or do you prefer them to be brand new? I mean yeah, but it's not a massive deal to me so long the thing is operational or not falling apart. Do you ever write fanfic? Of what? Nah. Do you ever READ fanfic? Of what? Also nah. Do you have a favorite classical composer? No. Have you ever had multicolored/rainbow hair? No, but I would LOVE to. What kind of hats, if any, do you like to wear? I don't wear hats. What is your #1 deal-breaker with friendships?

Who was your favorite Ninja Turtle? I was never into the franchise. Horror flicks make you: laugh, scream, or squirm? I prefer the ones that make you uneasy. I'm not a big fan of the nasty ones, and I want to feel on edge when I'm watching a horror film, but it's EXTREMELY rare I become legitimately scared. If you could become a doctor, what would you specialize in? Uhhhh. Maybe genetic disorders. What’s the cutest thing a little kid has ever said to/in front of you? I'm sure it was something my niece or nephew said, but I'm unsure of what. They've said many adorable things. Did any characters from TV shows scare you as a kid? Which one(s)? FUCKING KING RAMSES FROM COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG. FUCK he gave me nightmares. What’s the saddest thing you’ve heard on the news recently?

Do you prefer to be the “talker” or the “listener” in a conversation? The listener. What’s a movie that you think everyone should see? Johnny Got His Gun. If you could have any hair color, what color would you want? Either pastel pink or light creamsicle orange. When was the last time you saw your “first love”? February of 2017. Who’s the smartest person you know personally? My best guy friend Girt. What makes them so smart? He's just very intelligent. Book-smart. Are there any bands/artists that get you all emotional? Ozzy. He and his music are so important to me. What’s your favourite aunt or uncle’s first name? Robert. Have you ever done a first aid course? No. What time do you generally wake up in the morning? It varies from like, 6:00-8:30ish. If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Definitely shapeshifting. I'd love to be a druid, man. Do you ever make surveys? If so, are they long or short? No, but I combine them because I don't like surveys that are too short by my standards. When is the next time you’ll change your hairstyle? Will you color it? Honestly, probably never. I love my current hairstyle, but I most certainly plan on dyeing it maaaany more times. As a child, what was your favorite game to play? I was hooked on the first three Spyro games. I would play 'em over and over. Do any of your siblings have significant others? Do you like them? My older sister is married, and I am NOT a fan of her husband. He's WAY too conservative and bigoted and racist and misogynistic, etc. etc. He's wonderful as a dad, like holy shit he loves his kids, but his beliefs are abhorrent. Dad's daughter is also married, and her husband is awesome. Mom's eldest daughter is also married, and her husband seems cool. My brother has a fiancee that I've never met. Do you believe in the concept of global warming? No fucking shit I do. It's impossible to logically deny, especially as the years go on. When was the last time you took a picture of something? Was it yourself? I took some pictures of this beautiful hydrangea bush outside the TMS office a few days ago. When drinking soda, do you prefer bottles or cans or poured in a glass? Cans, because it stays colder. Do you wear deodorant? Um, yes? If you had a pet pig, what would you name it? Probably something very unoriginal, like Wilbur. Do you like Led Zeppelin?

What is your favorite shape? Circles. Are pigs adorable or dirty? They're precious! And pigs are actually a lot cleaner than people think, if they're not muddy. Anything moldy in your house? Not to my knowledge. Our old house had a serious mold problem, though, which is the primary reason we had to move. Especially with Mom having cancer at the time, she needed to be in the most sterile environment possible. Have you ever been in an earthquake? No. Do you enjoy history? No. Are you watching TV right now? No, but rather GameGrumps on YT. Could you ever be a mortician? True shit, it actually doesn't seem THAT bad. Can you solve a Rubik’s cube? Never seriously tried. How many pets do you have? Just two right now. Are you more close with your mom or dad? My mom. Who is the person that has impacted your life the most? Jason. Or Mom. Have you ever had a pet fish? Yeah. Poor things, they had terrible husbandry.
