Bruce Campbell (kind of)

This is Bruce Campbell, the Khaki Campbell drake. I name my ducks usually using the method of pet-name first and breed type last. So Clumsy the Pekin duck's proper name is Clumsy Pekin and Bruce the Khaki Campbell is Bruce Campbell. Some of my ducks have funny names, as I named them in order to tell them apart, so formerly pigeon-toed runner duck's name is Funny Feet Runner Duck. The duckling with the yellow tummy has grown up to be named Yellow Belly Runner Duck.

How could anyone resist naming a duck after Bruce Campbell?

ZomBcon meets it fate at the hands of zombie-killers?

Well, the small group of fans who've donated in the hopes of keeping Seattle ZomBcon alive are likely to be disappointed. With 52 hours left, the organizers are well short of their goals and no hope in sight. I've tried to get the word out, but I suppose my personal network of friends only goes so far.


ZomBcon organizer Ryan Reiter has gone personally in debt trying to keep this thing going, yet things don't look promising for the awesome con that brought awesome celebs like Bruce Campbell, George Romero, Malcolm McDowell, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Sid Haig and Sam Trammell.


The saddest thing about this situation is that I'm sitting here thinking about all the awesome friends I've made at the past two ZomBcons. I'm going to miss the excitement of meeting new people with similar interests. I'm also going to miss having a reason for my friends to travel to Seattle. Heck, I'm going to miss having an excuse to spend a weekend in Seattle.


While I haven't completely given up hope, it just doesn't look good. If you are into zombies or horror or cons or anything of the sort, please check this out. You can help save ZomBcon by donating here. I can't offer any bribery or anything, but check out these awesome photos from ZomBcons past and just imagine how much fun Bruce Campbell doing an Evil Dead wedding must have been!

The Final Day of Bruce-Mas!

Hey all! This means we've made it to Christmas Eve with all our limbs intact... well... except for Ash, that is! I want to wish everyone reading a Happy Holiday and thank you for putting up with my bizarre musings!

I've got lots of fun posts on the agenda for once the holidays are over. Thinking about musing over movie kisses and movie sex, as well as review the awesome movie I watched last night, along with several others. And I'm considering re-enacting Burn Notice with ducks!

And thanks to Bruce Campbell for not sending an assasin after me. Here's a Burn Notice holiday card for all my good friends out there in cyberland!

Stocking Stuffers?

I've been accused of not giving Autolycus enough love this holiday season.  My bad, just never had time to 'shop something up for the 12 Days of Bruce-mas. But I figured I'd better make it up to the Hercules and Brisco fans out there by posting these lovelies...

A little Brisco, anyone?

And can't forget Jack!

Hope these warm your heart this holiday season!

Geek Confessional...

Okay, I need to admit to something that few, if any, of you will understand.


 I play Fantasy Football and Fantasy Baseball and LIKE it!


That's right. This geek isn't spending the weekend playing D&D. No, I'm watching huge men batter each other in the pursuit of an odd-shaped ball.


I've got two of four teams going to playoffs this year. Pretty good for third year at it. I like strategy games. This fits the bill.


So in case you're one of the few readers who also plays, I give you....


Fantasy Football Humor!

On the Second Day of Bruce-mas...

Here's a promotional photo for Evil Dead 4: An Evil Dead Christmas...

Why I'm a Farmhand and not a Filmmaker...

My fellow farmhand MGX and I had a lively text conversation this afternoon, which degenerated into a brainstorm on farm-related book and movie titles... mostly horror. You may have to be a farmhand to get the true horror of these, but then again, you might not.


Farm horror stories:
The Garden of Shame (ok, this is an actual location on the farm, though it's no longer shameful)
The Land of the Foresaken Brassicas (MGX)
I Can't Get Up After Kneeling On The Cold Ground So Long (a drama)
Corpse of a Thousand Cabbages (MGX)
Revenge of the Runty Potatoes (MGX... might be a comedy)
The Fields Have Eyes! (MGX... recommends Rob Zombie for director)
The Clutching Fingers of Angry Zombie Housewives (MGX... Vincent Price as lead... nobody will get the Angry Housewife reference)
Compost Pile of the Dead
I Think the Ducks Are Stealing My Sanity...
Man With The Screaming Sorrel (this has to have Bruce Campbell in it!)
I Know You Dusted the Beets Last Summer
Cock (Rooster) of the Damned
Satan's Chicken Flock
The Birds (MGX... remake of the Hitchcock film with the Muppet chickens)
He Who Picks the Beans (MGX... based on a Stephen King novel)
The Chickweed Has Eyes (must have tentacles per MGX)
Can't Sleep, The Cows Will Eat Me

New additions (thanks MGX!):
The Turnips That Time Forgot
The Root Maggot That Ate New York


I hope these made you laugh. They made my day totally awesome!


I leave you with the Homicidal Squash, farm mascot and friend to all...

12 Days of Christmas... Bruce Campbell style! Day 1...

Technically, the 12 days of Christmas starts on Christmas Day and goes until January 6th. However, most people think of it as the twelve days leading up to Christmas. It's an anticipation thing. And a "make shoppers even more frantic" thing.


So, to lighten up the blog a bit, here's The First Day of Christmas... Bruce Campbell style!


Let's visit a holiday recently past...

Six degrees of what the crap is that...?

I was intending to do a post on one of the bands that lives in my Mp3 player. Somehow that morphed to "What was that Syfy film with the big, evil snake?"
Which, in turn, lead to a long, winding road of fangirl connections. So I give you the first installment of...
"Six Degrees of What The Crap is That???"

One of the bands that has a permanent home in my Mp3 player is a group called Underground Moon. I doubt you've heard of them. I found them by somewhat of a lucky coincidence while looking up a band that I like from my pre-teen years. Here's some Underground Moon samples, courtesy of amazon.com: Scroll down for samples.

Underground Moon has a song on a Syfy network film. It was a trip to be watching this film and recognize a song. The song is called "Shed The Skin." You can check it out at the previous link. The film is Mega Snake.
Mega Snake IMDB. 

Mega Snake features Michael Shanks of Stargate SG-1 fame. Michael Shanks also played Victor in Burn Notice.

Michael Shanks...

From the Burn Notice connection, you can go with Bruce Campbell (Sam Axe)...

Or you can go with Tim Matheson (Dead Larry)...

From there, the possibilities are endless. I think I only went five degrees with this, but hey, it was an interesting trip down fangirl lane. I could write for 20 hours easy connecting every band I've ever liked with one another, but that'll have to wait for another day.
