Action Figures: These 'Horrified B-Movie Victims Figures' are pretty funny. I'm thinking of getting a set of them, so that I can go around town placing them in various situations. It's always handy to have an eager-to-please cast available.

You'll find that not everyone agrees on what constitutes a threatening package. (Note: I've had spotty luck, from time to time, reaching the site.) (Note2:
MMO Art: These folks can draw. Really nice, pretty darn nerdy/geeky, game-related art.
Hummmmmmmm: These guys are pretty pissed at McDonald's for glorifying the gas-guzzling, environment-spoiling Hummer by putting toy version in Happy Meals. On the upside, their site allows for making some pretty amusing signage.

Kickass Periodic Poster: Theodore Grey has a terrific poster of the periodic table. His periodic table table is also sweet. The sodium party story is pretty entertaining. I'd like to have a lake in which to blowup elements.
