Oil Field Smoke


27 Sep 1990, Abadan, Jazire-ye Abadan, Iran — An Iranian soldier watches as smoke billows from multiple burning oil refineries in Abadan, Iran. Abadan, which contains a high concentration of oil fields and refineries, became a front-line city during the Iran-Iraq War, resulting in most of the city being destroyed by Iraqi attacks. — Image by � Henri Bureau/Sygma/Corbis

    MCS Collection – Star Trek


    is awesome, yes?

    MCS Collection – shot glasses

    Back when I was in high school my sister did a bit of traveling, and everywhere she went, she would bring me back a shot glass from that corner of the world. So, I have shot glasses from France, the UK, Ireland, Japan, chine, Los Vegas, Canada and many many other places. She hasnt’ gotten a new shotglass in a few years, but everyone that sees the collection thinks that I’m all about the shot glasses, so I frequently get them as traveling gifts from others too. I’ve likely gotten about 10 of them this way. My latest is one from “rock city” up in the Smokey Mountains.

    MCS Collection – Comic Card Collection

    is awesome, I know! I think I spent about $50 for this whole collection. This is in part due to the 90’s glut of comic book cards, and in part because there’s really no reason to put this shit out. I have most of them scanned in and uploaded to ComicCovers.com if you’d like to see each and every card.

    For anyone who’s visited the House on the Rock in southwestern WI, you know that there’s more random collections of bizarre unrelated crap (the collections contain related items but the collections themselves aren’t really related at all, just strung next to each other in a vaguely museum fashion).

    Here’s a few pics of the freakshow collections of carousel animals, dolls, concrete elephants, mannequins, armor they have; there’s also a collection of Titanic-related documents, stained-glass constructions, room-sized automaton musicians, and much much more from what can only be described as an acid-induced warehouse of weird.
