In honor of the return of 9 lost Patrick Troughton Doctor Who episodes, I’ll will unveil his list of other lost shows he wishes would be found. Also, I’ll tell you the true story of when a cop pulled me over and threatened to arrest me for buying drugs on Long Island. (For the record, I did not buy drugs, there or anywhere else.) Allan Keyes will take my Five Word Challenge, and Shirley Hemphill makes her long-overdue return to the blog.

All this, perhaps some more vague references as to why Comic Book Men on AMC will soon get a lot of ink on this site, and more, this week on bmj2k.com.

Remember Rick “The Model” Martell from the WWF?

Yes, he was a wrestling model whose big gimmick was that he came to the ring with an old-fashioned bug sprayer full of “Arrogance,” his perfume. He’d spray the ring with it, he’d spray the fans with it, and of course- hold on to your hats, you won’t believe this! – he would spray it right in his opponent’s face to get the win.

So there I was in Men’s Wearhouse last week and what did I see?

The Model? Nowhere to be found.
