Random Toys Post #1

These are all items in my personal collection. I don't remember when I started collecting toys, but I've been doing it for basically all of my life. I'm a huge pack-rat; I don't throw away anything if it's a toy, video game, or piece of technology. I plan on doing posts like this from time to time.

"Tales from the Cryptkeeper"

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

Toxie from the "Toxic Crusaders" as well as a giant KO variant.

The Evil Skull from "Supernaturals"

"Red Skull" FunkoPOP!

The Movement Of Obliterating NHGH

"M.O.O.N. is a clench of the Church of the Subgenius based in Kalamazoo, MI. Its mission is the complete and utter destruction of the one force that is responceable for stealing more slack than the conspiricy has ever had in it's entire existance. That force is..... NHGH! It was NHGH who was responceable for the Escape Vessels of the Sex Goddesses to not arrive on July 5th 1998, the date pre-ordained by Dobbs. And you can bet that NHGH will KEEP stopping X-Day unless WE SUBGENII DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FIRST! That is why we must KILL NHGH before 7-5-99 if X-Day is will ever come to pass!"

THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS OF DISCORDIA

"The Latter-day Saints of Discordia is a society of incredibly intelligent, occasionally motivated, and unquestionably creative borderline geniuses who have been classified, by the slaves of the machine, as one or more of the following: free thinkers, mystics, lunatics, anarchists, poets, deviants, paranoids, hackers, magicians, eccentrics, con-artist, chaoist, revolutionaries, habitual drug users, extremists, atheists, conspiracy dupes, occultists, and Subgenius disciples who are dedicated to an advanced understanding of the paraphysical manifestations of everyday chaos"

Crocco Cabal of the Erisian Church

"Welcome to the official webpage of the Crocco Cabal of the Erisian Church. This website is dedicated to Carmine Crocco, who died a martyr to Discordia on June 18, 1905. My name is Antonivs of Syracuse. I am a Pope of the Erisian Church and disorganizer of the Crocco Cabal. If you don't believe me, check out the gospel I am compiling for the New and Improved Testament (the true story of Jesus) or my Epistle to the Discordians (a distillation of wisdom as compiled by a domesticated primate). I have been asked if Discordianism is a real religion or a joke. Malaclypse the Younger said it best when he wrote: "We are not engaged in a complicated joke disguised as a religion. We are engaged in a religion disguised as a complicated joke." For those of you who are dubious, "If Eris doesn't exist, who put all the Chaos in this universe, you damned atheist?" huh? huh? No answer, smartguy? Life is short, so let there be slack!"

The Nuclear Platypus Church of Arglebargle (Biscuitism)

"Back in print again for the first time ever, The Nuclear Platypus Biscuit Bible, quite possibly THE WEIRDEST BOOK OF ALL TIME, clearly and concisely articulates all knowledge worth knowing! Now featuring 342% more Biscuitism, this long out-of-print underground cult classic returns in a thoroughly revised edition (212 pages, compared to the measly 48 pages of the 1990 edition) in hard- & softcover, with loads of new eye-popping graphics and all-new chapters that continue the brain-twisting Biscuitoid assault on reason, normality and comprehensibility. Learn such crucial info as: the precise theological difference between the Nuclear Platypus and His bumpkin cousin, the Nucular Platypus; the horrors of the Great Porridge Famine that wiped out the creatures of myth and fairy tales; what happened when God-Biscuit showed up drunk for the Apocalypse; and God-Biscuit's glorious plan for humanity. Guaranteed to be the most important publishing event in the entire history of human civilization or your money back!"

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

"The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, after having existed in secrecy for hundreds of years, came into the mainstream just a few years ago*. With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshipers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents – mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs. Some claim that the church is purely a thought experiment or satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, just a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools. These people are mistaken — The Church of FSM is legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental."

The Calcutta Pococurante Society

"Cant, Humbug, and Absurdity in all their branches whether Tory, Whig, Radical, Ultra, or Liberal, Medical, Literary, Martial, or Civil, National, or individual - from the Champagne Wright behind his counter; from the Cant of the learned Lord on the Woolsack to that of the Mob Orator on the Hustings in Palace yard. From the absurdities of Utilitarianism to the absurdities of Romance. Provided however that the said Humbug, Cant, and Absurdity, have become public property through the medium of books or newspapers - private Cant and private Humbug are too dear to the breast of every Englishman to admit of their being discussed without material injury to the feelings of the great mass of the nation - this Society will be there - fore respect those hallowed barriers which the common interests of mankind should render sacred to all."

Temple of the Great Spider

The Church of Last Thursday

"We, the Last Thursdayists, followers of Last Thursdayism, members of The Church of Last Thursday, believe: that the universe was created on Thursday, and will expire on Thursday. that the universe was created by You as a test for yourself. that you will be rewarded or punished when this universe expires based on your actions here. that left-handedness is a sinful temptation. that everyone but you was placed here and pre-programmed to act as parts of your test environment. that everyone but you knows this."

An Informal Archive of El Físico Nuclear Web Links

"There is a story told in certain parts of Virginia that a traveler staying over at an inn was accosted by a stranger garbed in a flamboyant purple cape and tights. The traveler tried to ignore the stranger, but the fellow persisted, and the traveler soon became impressed with the man's knowledge of Newton's Principia Mathematica. From this, the traveler concluded that the stranger must be a physicist. Next arose the topic of the return of Jesus Christ to earth, and the stranger was so knowledgeable on this matter that the traveler thought his companion must be a member of the clergy. Grasping at any subject to steer the conversation away from this topic, the traveler, seeing a pastoral painting on the wall of the inn, brought up the matter of Virgil's fourth eclogue. Again, the traveler was so impressed with the stranger's learning that he concluded that his companion must be a classical scholar."

The Church of Euthanasia

"The Church of Euthanasia is a non-profit educational foundation devoted to restoring balance between Humans and the remaining species on Earth. We believe this can only be accomplished by a massive voluntary population reduction, which will require a leap in Human consciousness to a new species awareness. The Human population is increasing by one million every four days. This is a net increase of 95 million per year, the current population of Mexico. Even major wars or epidemics hardly dent this rate of growth, and modern wars also have tremendous environmental consequences. It is for these practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that we support only voluntary forms of population reduction. The Church has only one commandment, and it is "Thou Shalt Not Procreate." In addition, we have four "pillars" or principles, which are Suicide, Abortion, Cannibalism and Sodomy. Note that cannibalism is only required for those who insist on eating flesh, and is strictly limited to consumption of the already dead. Also note that sodomy is defined as any sexual act not intended for procreation: fellatio, cunnilingus, and anal sex are all forms of sodomy and are still illegal in some parts of the United States."

Watch this space for coming events, merchandise, Church literature, and more."

Church of Ed Wood

"Woodism is a serious pop culture-based religion. We use pop culture and its popularity to inject spirituality to those people out there that might not get too much from the more mainstream religions like Catholicism and Christianity. We believe in and follow late cult director Edward D. Wood Jr. and look to him as a savior. Note "A" savior, not THE savior. By looking at Ed's films and his life, we all try to lead a happy, positive life, a life of acceptance of others and of the self. Woodism is a frame of mind and not a list of rules. The basic premise of Woodism coincides with what we believe was the basic premise of Ed Wood himself, which is the constant search for happiness and the following of dreams and being proud of who you are. There are no specific practices in Woodism other than to constantly be proud of who you are, accept others, and don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do. If you want to smoke and cuss and rut and get completely drunk, as long as you're fine with it, then go for it. It's a punk libertarian religion. It's spirituality mixed with realism. There are over 3,000 legal Woodites worldwide who believe in Ed's universal messages of happiness and love and like Ed we accept everyone into our arms. And yes, this is totally serious."

The Church of the Latter-Day Dude

"While Dudeism in its official form has been organized as a religion only recently, it has existed down through the ages in one form or another. Probably the earliest form of Dudeism was the original form of Chinese Taoism, before it went all weird with magic tricks and body fluids. The originator of Taoism, Lao Tzu, basically said “smoke ’em if you got ’em” and “mellow out, man” although he said this in ancient Chinese so something may have been lost in the translation. Down through the ages, this “rebel shrug” has fortified many successful creeds – Buddhism, Christianity, Sufism, John Lennonism and Fo’-Shizzle-my-Nizzlism. The idea is this: Life is short and complicated and nobody knows what to do about it. So don’t do anything about it. Just take it easy, man. Stop worrying so much whether you’ll make it into the finals. Kick back with some friends and some oat soda and whether you roll strikes or gutters, do your best to be true to yourself and others – that is to say, abide. Incidentally, the term “dude” is commonly agreed to refer to both genders. Most linguists contend that “Dudette” is not in keeping with the parlance of our times."

Gokuism – The Church of Goku

"Dear friend, have you accepted Goku as your personal lord and savior? If not, then please listen to my Good News! The Church of Goku can help you increase your power level to Over 9,000 and follow in the sacred footsteps of lord Goku by training with King Kai, hallowed be thy name. That’s right, there is now a Dragon Ball religion. It is called Gokuism, also known as The Church of Goku. Gokuism is the belief that the principles of Dragon Ball provide a moral compass for one’s life, and that Goku is an ideal role model and moralistic person. By some definitions, it implies that Goku provides personal, global, and universal salvation, and that his death and resurrections were for our sake."

Sasami no Kami

"Sasami no Kami is the spiritual pathway, philosophy, and religion for those who seek inner peace and guidance through the adoration of the anime character of Sasami Masaki Jurai of "Tenchi Muyo!" fame. The various images used on this website, which acts as an online temple or shrine to Sasami, were unearthed from ancient websites from the distant past! A mystical time known as the 1990's! So in tribute to the many past fans of Sasami, I will do my best to recreate an old fashioned 1990's fansite. Sasami be praised! Banzai!"

Seagalology

"Welcome to the Seagalology web site, devoted to the study of Steven Seagal. What is Seagalology? Have you ever watched a Steven Seagal movie and wondered if you've already seen it before? Did it seem oddly familiar, and not just because Steven Seagal is incapable of showing any emotion? That's because every Steven Seagal film follows a very specific formula and design in terms of plot, characters and of course Steven Seagal. This page is dedicated to that formula. Why? Because somebody had to do it."

The First Church of Dana Scully, Scientist (Facebook Group)

"1. In the beginning was “Bob,” who made a bet with Azathoth that he could screw with more people’s heads than even Nyarlathotep, and lo, Azathoth foolishly took the bet, and was sore wroth to find that it was a sucker bet, as all the bets that “Bob” makes. 2. “Bob” went forth, and proceeded to give his chosen Apostles of Apostasy full license to create any damn religion for any length of time that seemed good to them, and behold! Many a perverse and bizarre faith was brought into being. 3. Some of these had the lifespan of a mayfly, while others went on and on until they became like unto a joke that is told too often, and used exclusively for purposes of torture and mockery. 4. And schisms did arise, and the more creative of them killed “Bob” and Peed his Damn Head, going their own way, and doing whatever seemed best to them. And “Bob” was pleased, for this was in the spirit of the Tao of Slack. 5. While Pink Boys and the Slackless seized control of other religions, the Pure Ones fled and founded their temples far from the original epicenter of all this noise. Many searched for new inspiration, and some created new ShorDurPerSavs that were not in existence when the SubGenii were first congregated. 6. And among these was Dana Scully, Scientist. (Scullyation 1: 1-6)"

With millions of devotees, Dinkoism is the fastest growing religion in the world. Come, join us - accept Lord Dinkan as your savior, and achieve salvation!"

End of Days Radio

"Daniel, host and creator of End of Days Radio, has had paranormal experiences throughout his entire life. The most mind blowing being a full fledged up close UFO encounter in his late teens. Daniel has been obsessed with unraveling the mysteries of this reality ever since he saw the UFO. As a huge fan of radio legends such as Art Bell and Howard Stern, he created End of Days Radio as part of his mission here on earth to awaken his fellow man to the reality of the Paranormal world. Join Daniel as he delves deep down the rabbit hole into the realms of Aliens, Conspiracy, Magick, Cryptids and much more!"

The Higherside Chats

"The Higherside Chats is an interview based podcast where Greg Carlwood (that’s me.) drinks a little drink, smokes a little smoke, and sits down for conversations with the best researchers, authors, and experts on a whole host of conspiracy, paranormal, and all around fringe topics. With 5 shows each month, topics include corporate corruption, dissecting the plans of the planet’s puppet masters, MK Ultra mind control, alien abductions, alternative history, choas magick, ancient traditions, underground bases, Atlantis, The Bermuda Triangle, Hollow Earth theories, the occult, secret pacts with ET races, off the grid living, spirituality, escaping the rat race, transhumanism, psychedelics, fractional reserve banking, and the examination of a plethora of bullshit spewing from the finely tuned, total control machine of the shadowy global elite."

National Cynical Network (NCN)

"The National Cynical Network (NCN) is a long-running, alternate programming media project. It originally consisted of a trio of SF Bay-Area based radio collage artists: Phineas Narco, Ronald Redball and Alexander T. Newport. NCN seeks to play with music, using sound, and video media samples in the process of media collage or 'mediage'. 'Mediage' is defined as the process of artistically appropriating material from the media, synthesizing it throught the filter of the artists' own subjective experience of it, and then recasting it back into the media environment."

Bernarr Macfadden

"Bernarr Macfadden (1868 - 1955), internationally famous during his lifetime but almost unknown today, called the "Father of Physical Culture," nicknamed "Body Love" Macfadden by Time magazine, was a flamboyant personality, true visionary, millionaire publisher, and life-long advocate of physical fitness, natural food, outdoor exercise, and the natural treatment of disease. He inspired millions of people around the world to live healthful and vigorous lives. He was branded a "kook" and a charlatan by many, was arrested on obscenity charges, denounced by the medical establishment, and campaigned tirelessly against "pill-pushers," processed foods, and prudery."

Charles Atlas - Dynamic Tension

"A shot synopsis on CHARLES ATLAS INCORPORATED; In 1929 by Mr. Charles Atlas and Mr. Charles P. Roman,Charles Atlas, Ltd.forms the foundation of today's health and fitness awareness. The company is also described as a cornerstone of the modern mail order industry.

Empress Theresa Book - Norman Boutin

The Asylum for Shut-Ins

"The Doctor is a sadistic, power-mad ventriloquist dummy who administers doses of mind bending video ultra-violence and savage social commentary. He delivers his demented therapy with machinegun-like collages of horror movie clips... audio and video samples fused together in a musical tapestry of terror, madness, and destruction... coming attractions for the end of sanity. Elements of science fiction, horror, war documentary, and government information films are whipped into a relentless assault of explosive movie clip madness. The shock of Video Psychotherapy, which has a cult following across the nation, strips away the thin veneer of moral pretense exposing the dark truth behind modern socio-political posturing."

Electro Cosplay

"Hello everyone! I'm a New York based cosplayer, mostly I attend to NYCC, Sakura Mitsuri at the botanical garden, and other events in the NYC area. I started attempting to cosplay at the end of 2010. My first cosplay was Aqua from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Since then I've been working mostly on Hatsune Miku cosplays. Currently I have 10 Miku cosplays completed. And a few more already in the construction process. Since I craft my own costumes and props it takes some time until I have a new full cosplay. I also make simple tutorials upon request :)"

Magical Girl Pretty Samy

"According to several unofficial sources, Pretty Samy was an idea that started off as a joke. The producers of Tenchi Muyo! conjured up images of Sasami in a magical-girl cankid outfit and partaking the role. Thus Pretty Samy was born. Samy made her debut appearance in the PS drama CD and later in the Mihoshi special side story in the original TM! OVA series. It was surprisingly well-received, fans of TM! started to send in their requests for more PS. The rest, as they say, is history! ^_^"

Washuu.Net

"Hi. The real, official, drivers-license name here is Ellen Kuhfeld. But since I'm a writer and a fan, I've written under several pseudonyms, the most important of which has been Rose Prescott...Washuu isn't a pseudonym. She's a persona, or perhaps an avatar. I've always been a bit of a mad scientist, and lately I'm quite an anime fan. (Anime is Japanese animation.) One of my favorite anime is Tenchi Muyo!, and in that show I feel great kinship with Hakubi Washuu – one of the most famous mad scientists in all of anime. For an admittedly-limited readership, calling myself "Washuu" is as efficient a way of getting personality across as "cooties" is for getting across the idea of ritual contamination."

Otaku World

" The Otaku World Philosophy I think first we have to ask "What is an otaku?" An "otaku" is a fanatic, an enthusiast. Usually, it means "someone who loves anime and manga." Recently, I've seen a few of the other professional anime/manga places on the web described as "great non-otaku websites." But that's always struck me as odd. Don't the people writing and working on those sites love anime and manga? Aren't they otaku? Well, of course they are. They wouldn't be doing what they do if they didn't love anime and manga. But maybe they're just embarassed about it. Anime and manga are gaining popularity but they're still not all that well known. But we aren't afraid to say that we love anime and manga. We can't get enough of it! Maybe those "non-otaku" sites are just concerned about the unfriendly connotations the word "otaku" has taken, picturing in their minds that obsessive, fanatical anime freak who would sneer at anyone who would dare to watch anime in an English-dubbed form. The very elitist. The otakuer-than-thou. Well, you won't get that from us! We're otaku but we're the nice kind. Watch your anime any way you like. It's fine by us. Personally, we like dubbed and subbed both. We'll even watch it untranslated, if we can't get it dubbed or subbed. But we're certainly not going to tell someone else how they should watch anime. That's why Otaku World is dedicated to doing the best job we can bringing you fun anime and manga computer toys, detailed information, and pointers to great sites about the anime and manga titles you're interested in. We want to make this site the kind of site we otaku would want to visit ourselves. Otaku World exists for the sake of all otaku everywhere! We're Otaku and proud of it!"

The Ultimate Nabiki Tendo Site

"This site is a fan site I have decided to put together to honor my favorite anime character, Nabiki Tendo from the anime series Ranma 1/2. For those of you who have not seen or heard of the series or manga, it revolves around a character named Ranma Saotome, who has been cursed to turn into a girl every time he is splashed with cold water, and he returns back to a boy when splashed with hot water. His father, Genma Saotome, had arranged for Ranma to be married to one of the daughters of his friend, Soun Tendo. Akane Tendo, the youngest, is the one who was chosen to be his fiance. Nabiki is one of the other two Tendo sisters, and certainly the most entertaining of the bunch. :) She is an opportunist businesswoman. She has been known to sell a pot of hot water (for a nominal fee of 1000 yen) to Ranma when he finds himself being attacked by someone who wants his girl form dead. She has been known to 'rent' Ranma out to others for a few hours. She has, on many occasions, sneaked into Ranma's room at night, splashed him with cold water, taken a few pictures, splashed him with warm water, then sell those pictures to someone in love with his girl form. :)"

Model JSM-03B, A Bloodberry Shrine

"Bloodberry was the last of the marionnettes to be awakened by Mamiya Otaru. When she first appeared in episode 5, Faust's Challenge, her strength and fighting skills were infinite, but was later said to have leveled off to that of the other marionettes once spoiled by Otaru. She is much more "mature" than Lime and Cherry, and, at first, didn't think highly of them but later grew to accept them as a team. She's very forward with Otaru about affection, and uses her sexual prowess and physical attributes to get his attention. She often hurts Otaru when trying to be affectionate w/ him. Bloodberry loves to drink, so much so that she even drinks in the presence of her enemies at times. She's quite stubborn too. Her weakness is tact, or lack there of. Of the sexdolls, Panther is her rival. All three sexdolls are named after WWII tanks,which so happen to be named after cats. Bloodberry's voice actress is Hiramatsu Akiko, who also does the voice of Nene Romanova(Bubble Gum Crash), Akagi Haruko(Slam Dunk), Cross(Iczelion), and various other characters from other anime."

Kook Science Research Associates

"We are the Kook Science Research Associates, because why should we pretend otherwise? The resources we cultivate are not always legitimated science, and we certainly cannot promise they are anything you ought to rely on if you plan to apply for grant money. This is the fringe, the borderland, where sense and nonsense are no longer distinct categories, and our qualifications are as worthy as the five-dollar frames the learned doctors and professors have displayed them in. But don't take our word for it..."

Cthulhu for America

"I have always been here. When your world was young I arrived and strode across the steaming rock. But that does not interest you. For you, the question is am I an illegal alien, or worse, am I Canadian? You could say I have been on Americans’ minds since our nation’s birth. I am quintessentially American. I’ve established residence all across the nation. I fished off the shore of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, in 1840. In 1907 I frolicked in the swamps near New Orleans. The silent hills of Vermont played host to my consciousness in the 1930’s. I haunted the lonely surf-addled shorelines of California in the 1960’s. But as America soured, the pain and violence drew me forth. The brutality of empire was the key to circumventing a bad case of narcolepsy. I needed more than scattered cultists in remote areas. I needed the screams and dreams of millions who styled themselves the apex of primate civilization. And so I began my career in politics. Unfortunately, you ape-things insist on voting for the middling or lesser evil! But this time the stars are finally right. It is time for the humans of the United States of America to choose the Best Evil to lead them toward their destiny."

Yippies STB

A driving force behind the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, Hoffman inspired a generation to challenge the status quo. Meant as a practical guide for the aspiring hippie, Steal This Book captures Hoffman's puckish tone and became a cult classic with over 200,000 copies sold. Outrageously illustrated by R. Crumb, it nevertheless conveys a serious message to all would-be revolutionaries: You don't have to take it anymore. "All Power to the Imagination was his credo. Abbie was the best." — Studs Terkel

New Animal

"Cryptozoology is the study of animals and other creatures that have not yet been accepted by science as real. In other words, it is monster-hunting. Cryptozoologists look for creatures like sea serpents and the yeti, hoping to gather enough evidence to prove that these beings exist. They also look for more commonplace animals, such as the ivory-billed woodpecker, the giant vampire bat, the inflatable hedgehog and the pygmy elephant. Creatures that are under investigation by cryptozoologists are called cryptids. Although cryptozoology doesn't get much respect from other scientific disiplines, it has had some spectacular success stories, including the pongo (now known as the gorilla), the okapi (an animal that looks like a cross between a giraffe and zebra), and the coelacanth (a prehistoric fish thought to be extinct). "

Cenotaph of the Jackalope

"Sing, o terrestrial muse, of the jackalope (Lepus cornutus Leidy 1873). 1 Its existence, while improbable, is not impossible, but it follows that the extinction of such a creature is likewise unprovable, unverifiable, unfalsifiable. When the English first set foot upon the shores of this vast shaggy continent,2 the jackalope roamed in infinitely large herds through the deciduous forests of the East, the bunch grass prairies of the Midwest, the wrinkled edges and scrub deserts of the West. Every February 26th, shortly after the datura seeds had begun to ferment on the bough, the skies would ring out with the clash of bucks wrangling for the right to mate, the cooing that signified that a doe had chosen her partner, and the ecstatic giggling of the couple. So passionate were their comminglings that, despite the small size of the participants, their wrestling and wrangling excited the globe itself into creating geomagnetic anomalies such as the Mima Mounds, earthworks, and as-yet undiscovered tunnels and secret passages that crisscross this continent, like nodes in an electric net, coiling and roiling like a slow-motion lightning along fault lines, pulsing like heartbeats along certain barely-recognized runways across the land.3 These otherwise inexplicable phenomena are the legacy of the cornute lagomorph whose ghosts only, alas, haunt this now sadder land. "

This Man

"In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life. That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist’s desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life. The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN."

KeelyNet - Free Energy, Gravity Control, Alternative Science

"KeelyNet is a loose network of researchers, experimenters, interested people and groups who communicate freely and share information. We long ago realized the ONLY way we will ever see these advanced technologies used in our everyday lives is by freely sharing our ideas and discoveries. To achieve that end, we collect and correlate information from many sources which provide insights and direction toward making these goals a reality. This information is then freely and openly shared with all in the form of files and through the discussion list. Our hope is to engender novel experiments which might yield phenomena and independently reproducible results. We try to use the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) approach (as in limited 'pop and flash' graphics), after all, this is a content based website intended to inspire, evoke thought and induce people to question what they are told about science, physics and the nature of our reality."

Borderland Sciences

"Borderland Sciences Research Foundation is a California non-profit (C0254263) research and education organization, founded in 1951 by Meade Layne for the purpose of studying parapsychology and extended consciousness. It has since expanded in scope to traverse as broad a path of the grand terrain of the borderland as may be uncovered by human perceptions (and perhaps even further). The main goal of Borderland Sciences is the curation and distribution of historical papers and books on energy, healing, and consciousness, providing a framework for understanding and continued research, and offering support to scientific minds exploring the unconventional regions of thought we call "borderland"."

Troma

"Now celebrating 40 years of filmmaking, Troma Entertainment, Inc. is the longest running independent movie studio in North America. In addition to commercial success, Troma enjoys a wealth of critical appreciation, exemplified by Troma retrospectives sponsored by the American Cinematheque, Cinemathèque Français, the British Film Institute, the American Film Institute and many others. After creating a new kind of sexy comedy in the 70’s and putting a new face on the movie superhuman hero in the 80’s with The Toxic Avenger, Troma continued to break new ground in the 90’s and 2000’s with quality, entertaining films.

The Actium Colony - An Actium Maximus Fansite

" "Actium Maximus" definitely captures that feeling you get when you try to remember what you were dreaming about just after you wake up. It is a surreal and strange pulp sci-fi story that goes on for what feels like forever, building it's own story and mythos while both answering your questions but also confusing you every step of the way. The puppets are gruesome, the blue screen technology is obvious, the sound quality is quite bad at times, and some of the alien creatures are almost unintelligible. Plus there is no assurance at all that any of the story-lines will come together! But the setting and characters are so interesting that you lose track of all of that. It's clear who the villains are, but are there any heroes at all? This movie is so strange, ugly, and beautiful I can't help but watch."

Something Weird Video

"Something Weird has made a point to stay true to the nostalgic and sleazy feeling of a grind house theatre on Main Street USA. Our dvd packaging reflects the times they movies were made and we use original ad and poster art whenever possible. Amped up with lurid and garish colors to give our products that special Something Weird look. Eye candy inside and out! Every racy and taboo subject known to man can be found in our video catalog. Or just plain wacky celluloid wonders. Consider it one-stop shopping for all your delightfully depraved entertainment. There's Something Weird for Everyone! "
