I just want to go on record as saying that Manny Pacquiao is the only thing keeping boxing interesting and that Floyd Mayweather is ducking him.
I want these clixed: Doc Savage, Fu Manchu, Tarzan, The Shadow, The Green Hornet & Kato, Conan, Solomon Kane, The Phantom, King Kong, Universal Monsters, Black Orchid, Manhunter (Paul Kirk), Xemnu the Titan, unclixed Kirby Fourth World characters, and Lilith, Daughter Of Dracula.
So as I understand it, there's another satellite scheduled to land on our heads soon.
Ahhh! Progress.

So, I've decided to turn my Man-Thing (Marvel Comics character) commissioned art piece into a Legion of Monsters piece with the focus on the previous stated character. I couldn't pass up the chance to get Manphibian and Werewolf by Night drawn, as well.
I also watched Transformers DotM. Not horrible, I did just watch it for explosions, but Nimoy was a welcomed surprise. Also had to watch Zookeeper. Ehh.
This post wins. Now if you start posting in here I can claim to have a fellow Ogre playing at my venue.
Okay since I was so politely asked, or was that slapped, I shall introduce myself to the Ogres. I like driving in a seemingly aimless pattern around the same 3x3 mile area in 8 hour increments. When not doing that it is usually because I am typing the same thing over and over and over again for the upteenth time. I enjoy long walks, dispersed by brief periods of running usually resulting in the giving away of wrist jewelry in the form of metal bracelets (but I keep the key hee, hee, hee). Sometimes I display pretty lights that little kids seem to like. Apparently as one grows older the lights become ugly because adults don't like them as much. I have been told that I have ruined many peoples lifes, even though I am not their boss, spouse, parent, sibling, tax man, auto repair specialist, or god. Usually this is followed by some kind of remark about my hair, weight, spouse, childhood, income level, education, psychological/emotional state. When did everyone I come in contact with get a law degree and how come I am always violating it? Luckily when I am done with said activity's instead of sleeping while the sun is out and everyone else is awake, I get to go see a man or woman wearing robes (they must be getting ready for bed too) sitting behind a desk in a big building (I don't see a bed anywhere though). If the robed person does not want to decide on the validity of everyone elses law degree he/she lets 12 other people do it. I don't fish, but I do have a fishing pole of sorts with 2 straightened fish hooks that can be cast about 21 feet. They are an electrifying experience to behold. I put .40 calibur sized holes in paper badguys but they always seem to come back, usually to the same place, and at the same time every month, year after year. I must have some kind of power against boogeypersons because people call me when they are scared or in fearful of future events. Other times they call because I ruined their life..... On really fun days I get to go see nice family's at their homes or places of work to give them very important news about others of their family. I also like pumpkin pie, was born on superbowl sunday, I don't play MTG, and I want Sleepwalker to get heroclixed.
For those interested in Massu's celebrity- it's round II at a new, lower price!

You were born on Superbowl Sunday?!

There's a reason for that, mummies are horrible monsters.
THIS.
Egad, how I hate Mummy movies of any kind.
Much as I've always loved all those old Universal horror movies, I thought The Mummy was ridiculous from the first time I watched him take 20 minutes to get to the other side of the room and strangle somebody, seemingly paralyzed by jaw-dropping fear.
Even at 9 or 10 and born with a great aptitude for suspension of disbelief (nobody enjoys bad magicians at kids' parties more than me), I thought that was bad to the point of being insulting.

Be that as it may and with all due respect, it was my most ill-advised expenditure on a game and I've played a lot of games since first rolling the dice in something called "Pinky Lee and the Runaway Frankfurters."
Because it was clix from WK and my gaming budget was at its height, I drank the Kool-Aid and bought into it --- literally. Well, I got to play maybe two games at most at the venue and that was that.
Now, more than ever, considering all the clix product that's headed our way over the next several months, I wish I had back just half the dimes I spent on Horrorclix.
As always, just my two cents (not counting all those dimes).
Tim Burton was right: "A square jaw does not a Batman make." Steve Buscemi as the next Batman! Luke Perry as Joker! Let's make it happen!

It's my understanding that a man-child named Lou Costello, who had a pretty fair career in making people of all ages laugh (tho' had a rough time of it in his personal life), was hated by his neighbors for his Christmas lighting displays.
So try to keep your sense of humor, maybe the world's most effective suit of armor when it comes to a certain kind of slings and arrows.
That said, welcome to the clubhouse!

But refrained since the clip wasn't that good and I didn't want to spend any more time finding a better one.
But then, I returned to the clubhouse and you posted this:

Hmmm...

I can't say that I've ranked mummies very high on the monster scale, though it's been more a case of not thinking much about them. My most positive associations with them would be an episode of the original Jonny Quest (definitely some childhood nostalgia at work), and Bubba Ho-Tep. No disrespect to Karloff's 1932 work, but that worked more because of the atmosphere and as a piece. The first Brendan Fraser Mummy movie worked for me, too, though they made of it what they wanted in a movie that was more about action and effects than much of anything else.
They've worked best when played as a mix of relentless juggernaut and ghost that could simply appear somewhere.

Much that must be done today. As I don't really want to do much of that much... much, I'm best off trying to dive into it.
