Warren Ellis (seen here) is a writer that I pay attention to. His book Shivering Sands inspired me deeply, not so much in content but more-so in composition and style. The note below is from an installment earlier in the week at his blog Warren Ellis dot com. I stop in there a few times [...]

Prowler

WOLFSHADOW

Just be grateful you dont have to deal with me, in the physical, every day of your lives. NinjaMotorhome keeps you that safe distance, otherwise you would get prowled by Wolfman. And by prowled, yes: I mean “prowled”. The the secret working title to this pic is: “henchbot relaxing at home“. Note the red gloves, [...]

Ahoy scum!

blackbeardcostume_small

Normally, news pithy as this wouldnt see light of day @ Ninja BUT: See who’s playing role of Blackbeard? oh yes…..what better role could be cast for Ian McShane after such lofty heights as the great Al Swearengen. There is no better role, Blackbeard is the scurviest dog of all time and McShane will do [...]

“Stand it like a Man”

751-Untitled-1.embedded.prod_affiliate.7

The City is gripped with fear, crippled with terror at the onslaught of snow just belted across the face of this unprepared town. Cars lie haphazardly abandoned on bridges, roads and interstates. The gale force winds threaten to knock out power, that very threat keeps our kind citizens behind closed doors, quaking at what may [...]

Dirtbag Ball

The Rendezvous landed on the greatest weekend of all time for ski-bums in the PACNW: the Dirtbag Ball at Crystal Mountain. If you dont know what it is, it doesnt matter….its easy to explain: Ski Patrol sells tickets to a huge rager in a private lodge and tells everyone to dress up and go nuts, [...]

Cookie thug

Lots of traffic this weekend in the motorhome, including an afternoon where I left the rig to the devices of my companero’s as I wobbled around the lot making the Mayors’ rounds, rig to rig collecting “votes” and giving away booze in anticipation of next seasons electoral cycle. I paid the price, in spades. Someone [...]

Ive been doing “local things” for a number of days now and short of riding those damn ducks all over town, I think Ive just about got the list of “stuff to do while your in town”whittled down to nothing. Being obsessed with frontier history/western cultural narratives I was only too happy to oblige a request [...]

Frost Kraken beckons

You can either stare at Frost Kraken here all day, or you can buy it here all day. There were only 3 left but as of now, I assure you: there are only 2. Yet another treasure from The Wonder Closet. Thanks to Gauger for the goods.

Techno-Geek

Ive blown my hotmail account to bits and it was absolutely premature. Sifting through the wreckage will take the weekend, in the meantime email me @ henchbot@gmail.com. Or you can text via sms, on my new droid smartphone……which had absolutely nothing to do with the utter destruction of a certain email account. Really, nothing. The [...]
