Grimace
I wanted to get a Grimace out there to go with the Ronald McDonald I just did. I've learned more about Grimace in the last few days than I ever expected to, I'll say that. Do you know anything interesting about the big purple guy?

You've always got a friend wearing big red shoes...
Ronald McDonald
In many ways, Ronald's is a face I've grown up with. I saw him every Saturday morning, he was on my Happy Meal box, I would eat his head from a McDonaldLand cookie package, and he's on those plastic bibs that teenagers still like to goof around with.
Yeah, I get mixed feelings about the whole thing. I know he's a mascot for a huge fast food corporation, but he's also a permanent part of my childhood. What can you say?
You'd have to think; If McDonald's had first opened today, there probably never be a Ronald McDonald, what with the 'socially-conscious', do-gooder, "Oh, think of the CHILDREN!" generation we live in.

Today it's a classic Doctor Who character, Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart - also known as simply "The Brigadier". The actor who portrayed him, Nicholas Courtney passed away this last February. Thank you for being the Doctor's trustiest companion, Mr. Courtney.
On a different note, I wanted to quickly share with you another creative expression of Who-love; Larissa emailed me to share something... unique. She actually draws Doctor Who characters on bananas. Yes, bananas. Check 'em all out here!

One of the coolest baddies in the DC universe is Darkseid, a frequent thorn in Superman's side. In fact, he's making appearances on Smallville now.
I always thought he looked cool, though as a kid I was pretty creeped out by the glowing eyes on the Super Powers Darkseid action figure.

These are some of the Silurians from Series 5 of Doctor Who, and are some of the coolest looking monsters they've made for the show if I do say so.
