POPS12 Hilarious Tombstones
Another list from Oddee.com. The people who put this site together have a definite eye for the strange and unusual... Obviously, there should be some Rules about Dying: 1. If you know you are dying and have a name that will cause people to laugh and have their pics taken with your stone, change your name! 2. If you have a Wife AND a Mistress, make sure there is no way they will ever be able to pay you back. 3. Leaving A Funny Epitaph is good, leaving a tombstone that will label you DUMBASS is not so good. 4. If you want to leave a in a hilarious, yet tragic death: go for the hilarious. You will be remembered longer and liked more. 5. If you really want to stand out as a memorable person in the memorial sort of way, hire a poet to write a fitting epitaph and then die in the way specified.. 6. Most of all, remember this: Paybacks are a B*TCH, So treat your heirs or at least the person who will arrange for your final monument well, if not YOU too, can have a marker like the

POPS8 Fascinating Object Graveyards An amazing assortment with a definite focus on transportation and a smaller focus on military vehicles... Some very nice gems here from the US Airplane Graveyard to the Soviet Cars and the Vending Machines of Japan. The Bolivian Train Graveyard is in the High Andean Plain and deserves a closer look. Actually ALL the graveyards deserve a closer look and the folks at Oddee.com were nice enough to give links to the parent sites, use them, you will not be sorry.

POPSGod is Bipolar? Wow, that explains a lot... Funny as hell but apparently Rev. Jurgens who has a Psychology degree as well as a Doctorate of Divinity has found abundant proof. Make me happy to know God and I have something in common but it is more a scary thing to think one day he may just get upset enough to sweep the Universe away from a temper tantrum... We will follow this story and update as regularly as news becomes available. So far God has not commented and no one seems to be answering the Dial-A-Prayer number...

POPSToday's Topic: What's Weird in the Wikis Another interesting Blog Site I found while perusing the Net.. The "Paul Is Dead" rumors go all the way back to the latter 60's and for a while was a huge phenomenon focusing around the "demise" of the left-handed Beetle. Some of the clues and hints that the Beetle's were supposedly sending in their album art and song lyrics are still quoted today...

POPS Ghost towning steeped in mysteries of Old West Other ghost towners described making a half-dozen trips before finding the town, but agreed the search is half the fun. Though their motto is to "take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints," there are gifts to be found -- literally and figuratively -- at ghost towns. David Pike, who grew up in southern New Mexico and now lives in Washington, D.C., has rated nearly 20 New Mexico ghost towns on his Web site. He says ghost towning has helped him understand how his environment affects him and taught him to live in the moment. "It's hard to ignore a metaphor when you're standing right in the middle of it," he said. "When you're standing in a building that was once something and now is slowly fading into not being anything anymore, that's a stark reminder about appreciating what you've got when you've got it."

POPSWeird Hotels The author of Weirdomatic.com may think they are weird but I LOVE THEM! OK, all but the Coffins in Japan. I read too many cyberpunk novels in the 80s! The Mayan Pyramid is only in the planning stages but it is due to open in 2010... My favorite without a doubt is the Beckham Canyon Cavern Hotel...

Put the LP on the turntable (NOTE: Anyone born after 1983, that large disc in your hands with a tiny hole in the center is put on the round, spinning tray and the swing arm is placed easy on the groove in the record! I put that because I just had to explain to my niece what an LP was.) turn th lights down low, grab your ghoulfriend because with these graveyard goodies from the Bad Old Days will make you feel better about the fact you know what an 8-track is as well as what Hi-Fi stands for!

POPSHorror.net Horror Search And Directory Categories Do you prefer searching the web or browsing through directories? I like a little of both and I tell you what burns my butt every time is when a link is broke and the damn engine or directory just lets it slide. i don't have time to check out every link but i will say this: You will not find a more complete Horror Directory than here or on it's sister site, Horror:Search and Destroy... As for the black cuts, well the letters were white on black background so I will copy and paste those cuts in here: Horror.net Horror Search And Directory Categories Horror is the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. It is the feeling one gets after coming to an awful realization or experiencing a hideous revelation. Horror has also been defined as a combination of terror and revulsion. We are horror... we are horror.net.

POPSWhere Does He Get All These Wondeful Steampunk Toys?? I admit to being rather fond (actually, enamored) with the entire Steampunk Genre. I am a fan of many of the stylings that have come from one pop culture type to another... Junk stores are doing booming business these days as people hit them up for old brass fittings, watches, horns and other things to modify and adapt. We went through a similar phase with Star Wars and other Sci-Fi things in the 70a and they returned in the last decade. Super Heroes were big merchandise money makers during the WW II years, the mid 60s, and then again the late 80s with the birth of the Batman craze following the campy antics of the 60s and the dark, Gothic feel of the movie series. Super Heroes came back in a big way with X-Men. This is what I have always heard that popular culture repeats itself every generation or so... Hold on to those Slinkys, Hula Hoops, and Slip n' Slide: we may be in for a wild ride again!
