Okay, so I haven’t done a Screen Cap o’ the Week since September or a picspam since October and I’m trying to avoid talking about the friggin’ economy so a friend suggested I should do another picspam.

Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this? Heh! I did my first picspam on my LJ blog. I think it’s time to do one here.

And yes, it’s Robert Culp AGAIN. I can’t help it! I mean…c’mon, how can I NOT share this…

Or this…

Or THIS…

Ya know, I don’t drink but I’ll waste away in Maragaritaville with this guy anytime. Khee!

Now, I have tons—er, a lot of screen caps of Culp as Maxwell. Half the fun is catching some of his various facial expressions. Such as…

Eye roll…

Really scary demonic possessed look…

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Okay, after that we need to wrap this up with something like…like…

Like this…

Here’s lookin’ at you, Bill… heh!

I’ve got it. Really. I’ve figured out how to win, once and for all, the War on Terror.

Yeah, I know, we’re not calling it that anymore but until the new term comes into vogue I’m gonna have to settle for that. Beats the hell out of saying “War Against Enemies of America Who Hate Us Because We’re Fat, Dumb and Happy.”

At least, we used to be. Damn economic crisis.

Anyway. Here’s how we win the fight…

First of all, it involves no military offense or deployment of troops or weapons. The only thing we’ll need is some planes from the Air Force to make some drops in various strategic locations.

And what are dropping you ask?

No, not bombs.

Nope, not even leaflets.

We’re gonna drop items packaged in that damn stiff plastic crap that’s used to deter theft of products but that you nearly take off your fingers or your whole *&%$! hand with when you try to open them.

You know the stuff. Certainly you’ve bought something lately that’s wrapped tighter than Fort Knox and requires more patience to break into that anything devised in the Da Vinci Code and National Treasure combined haven’t you?

Sure you have. You cut into with your scissors and then try to “rip” the plastic open but it doesn’t rip very well, so you try to cut it with the scissors but it’s pretty stiff plastic and it’ll bend but it won’t break. You end up with pieces of plastic sharp enough to cut the toughest steak you’ve ever eaten. Then you notice there’s little buttons around the edge so you think if you can unsnap the buttons the package will open. But all you end up doing is losing a fingernail on one hand and a couple of fingers on the other.

See where I’m going with this?

I figure to make the packages tempting to open, of course, we’d have to label them with something tantalizing, like “US Nuclear Secrets” or “CENTCOM Top Secret Information and Battle Readiness” or “Mini Nuclear Warhead” or “How to Figure Out WTF is Going on With the Storyline of LOST.”

It’ll be brilliant! Imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of terrorists pissin’ and moanin’ about trying to open these damn packages. It would be the most demoralizing thing that could happen to them and they would finally lay down their arms (in some cases literally their limbs) and surrender in the fight.

War’s Over. We Win.

Now…who’s idea was it to package my Medal of Honor in this friggin’ plastic packaging…

Danelle posted a response to my top five list and I realized I had responses to her top five too, which I’m gonna comment on here…

1. Hawaii – We covered this one. Khee! Tho’ I’m envious that she stayed at the same hotel that was used in the opening shot of Five-0 and got to stand in the spot where Jack Lord did. Too kewl. Khee!

2. Las Vegas – Goin’ to Lost Wages…Lost Wages… Heh! I wanna see this place too just because it’s Las Vegas.

3. Southern California – Since I’ve seen much of Southern Cali on the television in a dozen and more tv shows, it’d be kewl to actually go roaming around the place. I’d especially like to see the Malibu area where the Rockford Files exteriors were filmed (the Santa Monica pier, the Sandcastle restaurant and parking lot where Jim Rockford’s trailer was parked) and any other notable places where favorite tv shows were filmed and such.

4. Alaska – I hear Alaska is beautiful and stunning and all that but….I think I’m a little spoiled on mountains and snow. LOL

5. Ireland/Scotland/UK – We covered this one too. Heh!

“I’m a travelin’ (wo)man, made a lot of stops…all over the world…”

So my good bud over at Danelle.org recently posted this blog challenge and I’m taking up the challenge to list five places I’d like to go to.  

Of course, I ain’t been to too many places (outside of my usual stompin’ grounds) so far in my life so listing places to go back to is kinda difficult. LOL. But there’s lots of places I’d like to see and visit and there’s many more beyond just this Top Five listing.  Take a lookie…

1. Atlanta, GA – I have studied the hell out of this city for the purpose of the various adventures of the Coltrane cousins. I’ve looked at Google Maps and the street scenes, I’ve read about the place, I’ve looked at real estate listings and I’ve gotten to the point that I miss a place I’ve never been to. So…I wanna go. LOL

2. Hawaii – Thank you Steve McGarrett. LOL. I’ve never been but after watching Hawaii Five-0 and seeing the absolutely gorgeous scenery, I wanna go.

3. New York City – I’ve been once and would love to go back. There truly is such a time measurement as a New York minute! (And no, you can’t cram it all into a New York minute LOL).

4. Scotland/UK – Like my buddy who tagged me to post this (khee!), I too have ancestral roots in England and Scotland and would love to visit not only because of that but just because it’s a beautiful and historic place.

5. Germany – After visiting the UK, I’d like to take a trip to the continent and see Germany afterwards. Again, for historical purposes. Khee!

So where are five place you wanna go?
