Sure. On the proviso I'm paid in American dollars. Convert that to Australian currency and I'm rich.

Not really.

I figure I can drive my car through the main gates and sleep in the car with the doors locked.

So for context, if you've been reading my blogs for a while, you know I love the Transformers.

I had an image in my head of Galvatron (on the left) delivering a karate kick to Ultra Magnus for... reasons.

So purely for the hell of it, I image searched an actual karate guy performing an actual karate kick and posed Galvatron as accurately as I...

Hello my creatures of the night.

I'm into Vampire: The Masquerade so naturally, I would be a vampire.

A proper vampire, not a sparkly Twilight vampire.

In Vampire: The Masquerade, there's a number of bloodlines or clans with their own powers.

Hello beautiful people.

National Donut Day? That's a new one on me although it does explain the free donuts at a local donut chain.

As for my favourite, a chain of muffin shops sells duffins - the result of a muffin making sweet sweet love to a cinnamon donut.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "Mmmmm, donuts."

Hell beautiful people.

I'm not a huge horror movie fan but here are some I have enjoyed.

Scream. It took horror tropes and poked fun at them. One of the characters says, "Please don't kill me, Mister Ghost Face, I wanna be in the sequel!"

The Evil Dead films, particularly Army of Darkness. Again, humour. Fun fact, Duke Nukem 3D "borrowed" many of Ash's quotes....
