WTF Comic Books

The movie industry has done an awesome job lately converting comic books into movies.  Just look at this last year with The Dark Knight and Ironman.  Both were absolute blockbusters and starred some of the industries best talent.  They even managed to appeal to people who had no idea about the comics.  I stumbled upon a list at King-Mag that has comics that will never get to screen.  In fact, I have no fucking idea how they made it to print!  These are some stupid, and disturbing comic book covers.  Click this LINK for the entire list at King-Mag.  Below are some of the better covers off that list.

*Archie vs The Punisher…right…that’s fair.

*The girl who loved the swastika…that sounds like a movie waiting to happen!

*Hahahaa…Pedophiles everywhere are waiting for this one!

*Whatever club this person is a bouncer at…remind me not to go there!

How It’s Made: Marbles

OK, this is pretty cool.  Normally the videos I offer up on this site are either of my bulldog or of people doing stupid things.  Rarely are they educational.  I am changing all that.  Well, only this one time.  I saw this off a Digg link and was very impressed.  This is a video showing how marbles are made.  It sounds pretty boring but it is surprisingly involved.  Enjoy!

XKCD: Party

uhhhh, last night turned out to be a rough one for me.  I am not going to say I drank too much…but I did get a little sick!  But, that was just at the end of the night right before I went to bed.  I think the sparkling wine threw me for a loop.  As a result I am going to put in zero effort to this post and just throw in an XKCD comic.

C & H: Can’t Get A Song Out Of My Head

No trade for me this morning.  I have plans to go out and I don’t have time to watch the charts.  I am looking at them right now and I don’t see any pattern.  I could just enter a trade but it would be a total guess.  I might as well throw all my money in a poker game if that was how I traded.  Anyways, I have another video of Chubbs that I still have to throw together.  I am hoping to have that done sometime soon.  For today, you get a C & H cartoon.  This is just kinda funny.  Not only that, it moves.  That makes it twice as awesome.  Enjoy!

Letterman’s Top Ten Bush Moments

Gotta love a David Letterman top ten list.  The man sure knows how to rock a list.  I think that he could have easily had about 50-60 items in this particular list.  He decided to focus on George Bush moments caught on tape for this one.  Kinda funny.  I am not sure the man was ever qualified to run a country (or graduate high school) but he sure is good for a laugh.

SMBC: Superfriends

Happy Sunday everyone! Another day and another dumping of snow in Toronto. Our bulldog is not happy with all the road salts and is trying his best to avoid going outside. I hear his pain. I am going to try to avoid going outside as well. Although, it might be hard as I am meeting a friend downtown for lunch. Anyways, I should probably get moving so here is a comic from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal to get your day going. Hopefully, the furthest you are going is to the couch to watch football or movies.

Snowy day In Toronto

We might just have a white Christmas after all.  Toronto got pelted with a good dumping of snow today, so I decided this was a good day to work from home.  Once again I have no trade for you.  I had no idea that market went all screwy.  The spreads are staying wide even during the day right now.  The Euro gained a couple thousand pips on the US Dollar over the last few days as well.  Definitely not my happy time to trade.  So many traders love these movements because they are in for large swing positions.  I look for 2-10 pip gains when the markets are ranging well within reasonable bounds.  When people complain about sideways markets is when I am happiest.  I will have more time on my hands in the new year, so I am planning on moving into stocks as another way of trading (and keeping this blog interesting).  Since I can’t bring you anything Forex related I will stay on the topic of snow.  Below is a pic of Chubbs playing in the snow.  And, because that may not be enough to entertain all of you, I also added a C & H comic.  You can use that as a funny take on the Frosty take.  Or, a perverted suggestion on what to do with all this snow.  Either way.

*Chubbs still doesn’t know whether to walk on the snow, or eat the snow.  Now, lets see that C & H comic…

XKCD: Flow Charts

Another day that I couldn’t trade.  Actually, I might avoid trading today as well.  I have a puppy and a hockey game and a job…oh man!  I turned into an adult overnight!!!  This week has just been particularly crazy.  I would have traded last night but I was meeting friends downtown.  So, instead of making money I spent money.  Tis the season!  We had a nice snow storm last night, so a 30 minute trip from downtown turned into 1.5 hours.  The girlfriend walked the dog this morning and apparently he was jumping all over the snow and trying to eat it.  I will try to get that on camera tonight…assuming there is still snow on the ground.  Since I can’t bring you anything Forex or puppy related I will do the next best thing: talk about flow charts.  This continues my trend about straying as far from topic as possible.  Flow charts can be tricky.  Here is a flow chart that teaches you how to follow flow charts.  Thank XKCD for this one!

C & H: Horsey Ride

Sorry for the late post today!  Last night I didn’t get a chance to trade.  It turns out that our bulldog Chubbs managed to squeeze himself between some gates and got into the living room at my girlfriends apartment.  The little monster decided Christmas is too far away and opened all the gifts.  He also thought our tree looked stupid so he knocked all the decorations off it.  Then, he figured the Internet is dumb and went to work on the modem and router.  Luckily he didn’t do permanent damage to anything.  But, it caused me to spend my evening shoring up our defenses.  A couple slabs of wood has now closed the gaps and he is going to have to respect the gate…for now.  This morning we had to take him to the vet just for a checkup.  He looks to be in perfect health and will be terrorizing Christmas trees and modems for many years to come!  I wish I had a pic of the damage he did, but my girlfriend cleaned it up long before I got there.  Anyways, here is a comic from Explosm to reward your patience.

Abstruse Goose: Gift Horse

Today is a very big day for me. Something big is happening today. I am not sure I will have time to blog about it with proper pictures and everything so I will waste your time with a cool comic. I should be able to blog about it tomorrow though. It has nothing to do with Forex or anything like that. This is personal. And, as a hint, is absolutely adorable. You will find out tomorrow! But, since I love to entertain: today I have a comic from Abstruse Goose. Another relationship type of comic. Very funny!
