And don't worry, these aren't the kind of stamps you cut out of your comics like Marvel in the 70's, the Post Office is issuing these next year. Courtesy of Toon Zone.
BTW, if you haven't got them yet (or if like me your local Post Office is too lazy to go in the back and get them) The Muppets with Jim Henson stamps are now available.

The new Doctor Who series that hasn't been shown here in the States (probably because Sci-Fi wants to pour their budget into mutant human and/or bug movies) is coming to DVD Feb 14th. If you haven't seen it yet, get it and thank me later, gang.

While I do mourn the passing of Noriyuku "Pat" Morita noted here and here, I wanted to also note the passing of my Aunt Pauline, one of my dad's sisters yesterday. My parents decided to wait until today to tell us about it. She apparently passed resting in a chair yesterday at age 79. She always seemed to understand and appreciate my fanboy activities. Sadly, I won't be able to go to Michigan for the services, and this noting is the best I can do.

I had a problem with posting the entries for Friday at Comedy Central's website. I kept getting "unexpected error occured" message. But all is not lost, as I found an alternate method to enter, and if you get it out in the mail by Monday, you can get in on it, too. Here's the instructions from their website:

if you want to MAIL us an entry rather than enter online, mail a postcard on which you have hand-printed your name, address, daytime phone number, age and the day for which you are entering*, to:

Comedy Central's "ThanXgiveaway Weekend" Sweepstakes
PMI Station
PO Box 3569
Southbury, CT 06488-3569.

Each single mail-in entry will count as 12 entries (one for each hour) for each day you enter. You must mail a separate mail-in entry for each day, to be eligible for that day's hourly drawings. Entries will not be carried forward for subsequent day's hourly drawings. All mail-in entries must be postmarked by November 28, 2005 and received by December 5, 2005. You do not need to include codes to enter by mail.

Tony again:
* The contest is from Thursday to Sunday, 11/24-11/27, so that's 4 entries for each day. Just put down a different day each time. And that's up to 4 times.
And it has to be postmarked by this Monday. And if you win, you gotta invite me over to play it, 'kay?

Happy birthday, Highlander! Hope you survive the experience!
