Crazy Crap: 5/28/09

I had that same reaction about an hour ago when I opened a parcel from Florida to find issue 7 of the original WATCHMEN comics staring me in the face.  What a great day for nerds young and old.

Thursday Throwbacks: 5/28/09

“THIRTEEN TREASURES OF ANCIENT TIME, THIRTEEN LESSONS OF RULE IN RHYME.  TO FIND THE JEWELS IN SECRET PLACES, FOLLOW WHERE THE COMPASS FACES.  IF RETURNED FROM THE SHORE BEYOND, A NEW DAY DAWNS FOR OCTOPON.  BUT IF THEY FALL INTO EVIL HANDS, DARKNESS DESCENDS ON ALL THE LANDS.  FOR THESE RICHES TWO SHALL VIE, IN THE REALM OF DARK WATER WHERE TREASURES LIE.”

Prophecies kick ass.  Weather they be foretelling cataclysmic doom, making right what once went wrong, or the rise of an evil warlord hellbent on world domination, you are guaranteed a heart pounding journey.  Prophecy is also the driving force behind the cartoon I have picked for today.  Chalk full of battling pirates, thrilling chases on the raging seas, hungry beasts with razor sharp fangs, and a monkey-bird who’s appetite has no ends…it’s high adventure with The Pirates of Dark Water.
