Whiskey Bar: Little Shop of Horrors

Little Shop of Horrors

While I was in Seattle on vacation I chanced upon a wacky little store named Archie McPhee -- a kind of Wal-Mart of the cheap and tacky, stuff so awful it's good, if you know what I mean. Anyway, they had some great postcards made from posters for old horror movies and dime novels. And, of course, I started thinking about how they could be, um, improved, and, well ...

Archie McPhee's is great. But the "barrista" and new "librarian" action figures are their best products.

Much more fun than the Sock Puppet.

The Brain that Wouldn't Die is a great MST3K movie too.

Look if I can't get silly and tasteless every once in a while, I don't want to keep doing this.

Yeah, it's kind bartcoppish but the one with Condi Rice is funnier than hell! It gave me the best laugh of the day.

Humor? I'll take it!
These are great .. though my vote for 'The Brain That Wouldn't Die' might've gone to Cheney.

Gotta have a brain before you can be the brain that wouldn't die.
