Stinky and I.
Isn't this just another version of a tale from the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park universe?
horror game where you play a knight who goes to slay a dragon but you immediately get caved in and have to find your way out of its lair before it tracks you down
THE BOGGY CYCLE
The Walking Dead has went from comic book sensation to a televised wonder for the ages. Ask a co-worker, a friend or any body you're having a conversation with (or a random stranger that you've grabbed by the shirt collar) and you ask them on whether they've heard of The Walking Dead, odds are they've watched the show. A higher chance is that they've read the comics and have watched the show. From my knowledge, I know people who have watched the show and absolutely love it. Then I know the ones who have read the comics and watched the show, but hate it's rotten guts.
I fall in the latter. Sadly.
I say sadly because it's complicated to explain about being a fan of the comic and seeing one of my favorite comic series being it put on television, expanded upon and seeing some characters act differently then they had in the comics.
I get a funny feeling see Shane still alive in the second season. I get a funny feeling over how the show is making him a character that people will obviously hate because I doubt that viewers actually like him. It could be all a way to have the viewers keep watching and waiting until this moment:
Where he is killed by Carl (Rick's son). Now to be honest, this should have happened in the first season (if I were to go by the comics as seasons). Now much to my distaste for the show I will put it on as background noise so I can focus on something else, which doesn't help because I'm curious on how the series doing.
Now in the recent episode, some girl is suicidal and the women of the farm are trying to prevent her from offing herself. At this point in the comic, they were off the farm and nobody was trying to commit suicide. And at this point in the show I'm seeing how they're adding more humanity to the show and not sticking to the comic's script which would have had the characters pretty bland for a few episodes. A good tactic, but I'm still pussyfooting around the idea of buying into it.
It had me at the first season, which followed the comic for a while but then deviated into it's own thing. I enjoyed it, but I had hoped the second season would be more like the comic, which it was...for a few episodes. Nice tactic but I do want to see Rick return to Shane's grave, if Shane ever receives that bullet into the neck this season. To be honest, The Walking Dead has become a hit television show, but in another sense it's become my generation's soap opera in a strange twist.

HAPPY READING, HORROR FANS!
Salted Honey Pie 🍯
An old fashion pie recipe that’s super simple to make and a great Ostara/Spring Dessert! I’m making one for this Easter with my family.
Honey, Eggs, Cream are all Spring Foods. Honey symbolizes sweetness and the rewards of hardwork just like the little bees that work so hard to make it! 🐝
And Salt banishes negativity and is purifying!
Ingredients:
One 9 inch Pie Crust (Store bought or one of your favorite crust recipes)
½ Cup of Melted Butter
¾ Cup of White Sugar
2 Tbs of Cornmeal
¼ tsp of Salt
¾ Cup of Honey
2 Eggs + 1 Egg Yolk
½ Cup of Cream
2 tsp White Vinegar
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
Salt Flakes for Garnish
Preheat your oven to 350. In a large bowl, mix together your dry ingredients before slowly mixing in your wet ingredients one at a time…. (I never do this and just mix it all together randomly as I go, but it’s up to you.)
Pour mixture into your pie crust, it will be liquid and thin; that’s okay!
Cook for 45 to 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and it starts to bubble.(I recommend 60 minutes on the middle rack. Mine didn’t burn at all!)
Take it out of the oven and let it cool for One hour or more to let it solidify. This step is very important to make sure it isn’t too liquidy. The consitancy should be like Pecan Pie Filling.
Garnish with Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt; any big salt flakes. But regular table salt will do just fine if the others aren’t available.
Done! 🍯🐝🍽😋
This can be used for Litha too!
After seeing the movie Cabin in the Woods I looked around for the whiteboard which was used for betting. I wanted to just pick it apart and find the little things that would've made me squee even more with happiness.
I was able to find it! While reading off all the names I can say that the board has a good amount of monsters. Most of these are widely known and some only huge horror movie geeks will know. I will just name a few that strike me as interesting and familiar (Which is pretty much most of the board!)
Alien Beast
Wraiths
Reptilicus
Clowns
Sexy Witches
Hell Lord
Angry Molesting Tree
Deadites
Kevin (?)
The Scarecrow Folk
Snowman
Dragonbat
Dismemberment Goblins
Sugarplum Fairy
Merman
The Reanimated
Unicorn
The Huron
The Doctors
Jack O' Lantern
Let me see here. I know basically where most of these monsters are from, movie wise. Reptilicus 1961 movie of the same name. Clowns- It, Killer Clowns from outerspace. Hell Lord could be refering to Pinhead. Angry Molesting Tree goes into the same category with Deadites, both are from the Evil Dead series. The Scarecrow folk could be a reference to Night of the Scarecrow. The Snowman is probably because of Jack Frost. The Reanimated is from the Reanimator series. The Dismemberment Goblins, Dragonbat, Sugarplum Fairy, Unicorn and The Huron are all new to me. I haven't a clue what movies they could have been from. Then there's Kevin which puzzles the fuck out of me. WHO ARE YOU KEVIN?!
Cabin in the woods is such a diabolical movie, I can't help but fucking love it. Especially the little things that are in it, like this whiteboard and what's listed on it. Also the collapsible bong, enough said.
[AMV] Jon Arbuckle - You’re Gonna Go Far Kid
this is one of my favorite videos on the internet, and it kills me that the source has been silenced by youtube’s copyright system, so I’m putting it here!
I have seen a version of this on tumblr before, but the audio in that one is just a little bit off because that person edited it back in themselves
but today, I am proud to present the original video, sent to me by Crispy Crungy, who gave me permission to upload it here and share it with you all!
enjoy!
