Being poor blows, I mean I been poor my whole life but there’s decent times and there’s bad times… these are the bad. Were I not so broke I wouldn’t even think twice about buying this little guy. To be honest he ain’t even my favorite of the bros I am more of a Standing Hedoran type of guy but I would still do it. I refer to this Hedoran as the hugger because he looks like he’s super stoked to see you and is all like “yaaaaaay! Lemme get a hug!” Seafoam and magenta colorway is the business.

Don’t fight the feeling…

These guys are too cool. I haven’t actually bought new toys in the longest time so it felt kind of god to go buy myself stuff senselessly. It sort of a late birthday gift to myself. I’m also hoping to pick up myself a new 23 year old pappy too (YUM!).

The Gargamel booth was pretty awesome this year as it has been since they began showing up at SDCC. They always bring the nice bright colors. I am still pissy about missing out on the Ojo Rojo.

Super 7 booth held it down as well but I missed everything cool because I only had Fri-Sat passes. I would’ve liked to score a skull pirate but I will live. I did score the Himalan so I am happy.

Here’s the featured load of toys for the Thrash Out gallery show. They all look ridiculously awesome but I really want the fancy hair earth restroyer as I would consider my self an earth restroyer completest. I don’t collect a lot Bwana’s figures but I can’t say no to my favorite Hedorah sculpts. My insides weep. The other figures are also cool.

As I figured a picture of the awesome full size Globby has surfaced! This guy will be available at Tentacles, Horns, and Scales at Apr. 19th Thrash Out in Tokyo. Yet another cool ass figure I will not be getting

I suppose I will have to be happy with my minis.

Now to speak of things I actually can acquire. Today after consulting with a client in Coronado I decided to head to the liquor store a few stores down looking for a bourbon bottle I’ve yet to find here in Dago Town. They indeed had the bottle of Pappy Van Winkles 20 year Bourbon, I was ready to drop $70 on it but it was a cool $99.99, since I’m a cheap bastard I decided I should go with the Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year old that was only $44.95.

I raced home to have a pour and my lord was it tasty. This the type of whiskey you break out for your grand dad who drinks so he can say “Damn boy that is some good bourbon!” The flavor was subtle but present, not just some warm burning sensation. At first I tasted a somewhat moldy flavor (?) but it soon morphed into a sweet almost fruity taste that was very subtle.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been drinking the poop spectrum of bourbon’s lately or what but it is so good. I swore by the old Woodford but I don’t know anymore. I also bought a bottle of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey upon a recommendation from Dr. Burrito himself and I soon realized why he is Dr.Burrito and not Dr. Bourbon. I can only describe it as the flavor of a liquid penny. It is now the whiskey my old lady can mix with her cola

This post started sad and ended happily, I will now retire to some foods and more sips of the sauce.
