Sneak Peek of the Week of October 29th, 2012

28 Oct

October 29, 2012

Hurricane Sandy is due to hit the headquarters of bmj2k.com and The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid ride urge you PANIC RIGHT NOW! Loot the sneaker stores and stock up on hot iPhones, this is the time to throw caution to the wind and riot because WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Although I am very certain that this Frankenstorm will kill me, I have made contingency plans for the website. Assuming you survive the weatherocalypse, beginning Wednesday, bmj2k.com will redirect you to http://www.december212012.com/CDC.htm, the official countdown clock to December 21, 2012. the storm may have gotten me early, but you will be joining me soon.

And if the storm gets me, I’m taking Allan Keyes with me.

Assuming things go on, what will you see on this site?
Allan Keyes will look at Halloween, The Teutuls will clash over their new project, I will share my Memories of Frankenstein, a family puts up a poorly worded Craigslist ad, and of course Saturday Comics. All this, and I WILL SURVIVE SANDY, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

 

Picture Postcard: The Jack-o-Lantern Avengers

18 Oct

I went to something called Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns in Old Westbury Gardens. This is an event in a pitch-black, lonely rural patch of woods where they play spooky music and sound effects and the path is lit only by the most amazing jack-o-lanterns. In particular, I wanted to share five amazing lanterns, carved in the images of The Avengers.

And now I’ll present a few more photos just to give you a taste of what it was like there. It was a half-mile of about 5,000 pumpkins, some in a large open area, many in a dark, tree-shrouded path.
