In the midst of the Iowa Caucus foofooraw, my youngest, Loen, is back in his room, cleaning up, with "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" playing on his PSP, hooked up to a room-filling but cheap home theater sound setup.

This is a 17-year-old with more than a modicum of taste. Your Aardvark is so proud.

OH!! Loen did this stop-motion animation last weekend. Check it out.

Wow! I'm three for three this year. You guys have no idea how much I love doing this blogging bit. Creativity. Juices flowing, getting my thoughts and all-important opinions out there. I've got to go for now, so as to sign up for more conventions for the year.

---------- but wait, there's MOAR! -----------------

It is the WORST CON YEAR EVER !!!!!!!!!

Here is some of what is out there:

It's got Star Trek. It's got Narutards. I guess one out of two ain't bad, but the COMBO... It's like buffalo chips with French Onion Dip.

Wow...Twiki... Local wrestling sensations...Thong Girl... Daniel Emery Taylor!!!


Actually, Thong Girl is an amusing concept, and REALLY tweaked the Keepers of Public Moraltude in Tennessee.
To borrow Jennie Breeden's tagline: It's not Satanic Porn...HONEST. It's just a tacky superheroine comic (and I mean tacky in the best possible kitschy way) that became a video series.

I'm really depressed.
