David "DTJAAAAM" Ngo is a professional cosplay photographer who travels the world capturing images of the world's best costumes worn by enthusiastic performers.

At Colossalcon, he snapped photos of Macho Magnus, a cosplay merging the late "Macho Man" Randy Savage and the Transformer Ultra Magnus. Ohhhh yeahhh!

The cosplayer is Toby Hixson, a master creator who specializes in Randy Savage cosplays. These include designs inspired by Adam Savage, Sargeant Slaughter, Super Mario Bros., and the Mandalorian. 

CTV News reports that police officers in a town in southeastern Wisconsin pulled over a car and performed a search of the vehicle and its occupants. Inside, they found a gun, drug paraphenalia, and, most curiously, a bag labeled "definitely not a bag full of drugs."

There were drugs inside.

The driver and passenger were arrested on various charges, including being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of drugs.

I see from the photo that police also found a dice bag. It's appalling that carrying one could be considered a crime in the home state of the late Gary Gygax.

There are Ferris wheels all around the world, but Finland has a very Finnish take on the classic amusement ride. Finns love their saunas and coined the word. If you visit Finland, you'll have many opportunities to experience different types of saunas, including one that will give you a scenic view of Helsinki.

The SkyWheel allows you and up to four friends to languor in the steamy heat of a private sauna gondola as it rotates through the wheel. There's also a hot tub at the base of the wheel. The experience is a bit pricey with prices starting at about $280 USD per hour.

Renzo Rage is a martial artist and, although he does not state it outright, a gifted physical comedian. On TikTok, he occasionally posts videos of himself performing ordinary household tasks, such as avoiding an obstacle, using movements inspired by different martial arts.

In this video, Rage closes the door to his refrigerator with tai chi, drunken boxing, karate, sumo, ninjitsu, and, best of all, the most dangerous martial art: bullshido.

The City of Dallas, Texas, like most cities, regulates the construction of new buildings in its jurisdiction. The permit office is in the process of moving to a new 11-storey facility. Staff had already started to move in but have, NBC 5 News reports, been forced to return to its old facility.

That's because the new building is not up to code. It lacks an occupancy permit and so, of course, cannot be occupied. The confusion is causing delays in the office issuing occupancy permits for the rest of Dallas, as well as, apparently, itself.

Daphné Keraudren is a French and Greek artist who lives and works in Brussels. Her work includes many playful pieces of public furniture that are daring for their colors, forms, and riskiness. Pictured above is her Use at Your Own Risk Chair, which is one of five pieces that suggest taking chances with personal safety while going about in Amsterdam.

It's attached to a window and is found in Scandinavia. What is it? The answer is below the fold.

Someone put My Cousin Vinny dialogue over Skeletor and Evil-Lyn and its way too perfect pic.twitter.com/Ld4ZyY5nTj

Mylo the Cat has, for a decade, remixed popular media online to juxtapose unexpected scenes and genres. His Muppet combinations have been a Neatorama favorite.

In this video, Evil-Lyn from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe argues with her supervisor Skeletor. The audio is from an argument between Joe Pesci's and Marisa Tomei's characters in the 1992 legal comedy My Cousin Vinny. Evil-Lyn is tired of Skeletor's busy career conquering Eternia and is ready for him to settle down into married life.

The Miami Herald reports that a Sri Lankan man was caught at an airport in Bangkok, Thailand attempting to smuggle three snakes in his underpants through a security screening. The trouser snakes turned out to be ball pythons, a protected species. Removing them from Thailand requires special permits.

This particular man has an extensive history of wildlife smuggling. He's also been accused of attempting to move "wolves, meerkats, black cockatoos, sugar gliders, porcupines, ball pythons, iguanas, frogs, salamanders and turtles" illegally. I have no information about whether he tried to sneak these animals in his underwear, too.

Estonian gentleman Illimar Lepik Von Wirén tweets that a grocery store was built around a glacial boulder. This is a grocery store that is part of the Viimsi Shopping Center in the town of Haabneeme. Another photo of the rock suggests that it provides a space for a shopping cart-shaped sculpture.

Estonia has many "erratic boulders" left over from previous ice ages. They have government protection.

Like all decent and right-thinking people, I enjoy pineapple on pizza. Bubba Pizza, a pizzeria chain in Australia, agrees and affirms my lifestyle with pineapple on pizza. The chain's bold, experimental thinking embraces other culinary possibilities. Not all of them work out, such as the failed kimchi pepperoni pizza. But the research continues.

In March, Bubba Pizza's research cooks considered that, since pineapple does so well on pizza, perhaps another citrus fruit would, too. This summer, the New York Post reports, the chain is offering pizzas with orange slices and ham. Online reaction has been lively, although, oddly enough, not universally positive.

British author Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is perhaps most famous for his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and his play The Importance of Being Earnest. Hugely popular but controversial in Victorian society, Wilde's career and reputation collapsed when he was convicted of gross indecency in 1895 and sentenced to two years in prison. He died in poverty three years after his release.

The Guardian reports that when Wilde was convicted the Board of Trustees of the British Library, then known as the British Museum Reading Room, revoked Wilde's access to that celebrated nexus of intellectual discourse. On October 16, on the occasion of Wilde's birthday, the British Library will restore Wilde's access--posthumously, of course.

The San Antonio Express-News passes along this video of mysterious origin. A man plays--and plays well--pool in what appears to be a bar and on what is definitely a horse.

Is he actually in Texas? We have no direct evidence, but this is a very Texan thing to do. Working from horseback is a normal thing to do, including my own work at a library. Texas is a big place and requires constant movement.

From 1979 through 1985, Americans were captivated by the refined sophisticated drama that was The Dukes of Hazzard. The show consisted primarily of car chases and usually involved at least one jump of the General Lee, a modified 1969 Dodge Charger.

As I've mentioned in the past, the jumps usually destroyed the Chargers. But that's what fans wanted to see. Fans still do, and so at the Somernites Cruise car festival in Somerset, Kentucky, a stunt driver named Raymond Kohn jumped a General Lee replica through the fountain in the center of town.

June Lockhart (center) was born 100 years ago today. She's still alive and was, according to IMDb, professionally active up until a few years ago. Her first appearance on film came in 1938 when she was just thirteen years old. Lockhart worked on the stage, radio, and film until the 1960s, when she gained national attention for maternal roles. From 1958-1964, she played Ruth Martin on the television series Lassie.

A younger generation, though, may remember Lockhart (right) as Maureen Robinson on the campy 1965-1968 science fiction series Lost in Space. She worked with Bill Mumy, who later gained prominence on Babylon 5. She and Mumy still keep in touch. Mumy recently confirmed that Lockhart is well for her age and still lives in her own home.

We wish her a happy birthday.
