Saint Steve

Saint Steve! Crikey! 

Indeed, he was a saint among men.

Who says there are no modern heroes? If any man deserves immortalization in stained glass, it’s Steve Irwin, who wouldn’t have kicked Chuck Norris‘s ass, although he could have and done a nature special on the wild Chuck Norris at the same time: he’d have brought Chuck Norris to tears with some lip-trembling tale of the time an orangutan gave him her baby to hold, and then Chuck would have written Australia Zoo a big fat check.

You know it and I know it and Chuck Norris knows it.

This should look cute in your front garden 

Well, not so much “tardis” as “Metropolitan Police Box” but it is naturally beneath the dignity of the ol’ raincoaster blog to include “box” in a headline, bien sur and yew betcha.

From Sherrod Drawings, via Neatorama, here are the actual archictectural plans for the once-common, now consigned to sci-fi police box.

The first Police Boxes were introduced from America in 1888. The earliest Police Box resembling Drawing G/A1 was erected in Newcastle in 1929. Originally built of wood, the design had changed to reinforced concrete, weighing in around two & one-half tons…This set of plans will make a great present for those Dr Who Fans, or anyone interested in Architectural antiquities…

my secret love, my secret shame

The chartIf this gets out, I’ll never be able to show my avatar around the British Empire again.

I have a secret crush, a secret shame. A secret so horrifying, so soul-shrinking, that even one as shameless as me can barely put it into pixels.

I have a crush on…no, I can’t say it.

It’s not his beliefs, should rarefied science ever detect any. It’s not his thoughts, which seem to be quite clever, if misguided and destructive. It’s not his actions, for which the record speaks for itself.

And god knows it’s not for his unearthly beauty.

I’m off to self-medicate with nonfiction and Mount Gay Rum. Wish me luck.
