Crazy Bigfoot coincidence

Sunday, discovery+ debuted Jack Osbourne's Night Of Terror: Bigfoot. Barbra wanted to watch it because she likes watching things about Bigfoot. So we watched it Sunday night.

Later on that night, I was going to be doing a few things and wanted the TV on in the background. I was flipping channels on Dish and came upon a Bigfoot special (or two) that was going to be at least two hours long. I think it was on the Discovery Channel. So I left it on that channel for a bit as I did a few things.

Later on still that night (which was by now the early morning), I was lying on the bed and flipping through HBO Max. I came upon Super Friends, which I haven't watched in years. I flipped through the seasons and picked an episode at random to watch. I didn't think I would watch the entire episode, just a few minutes or so of it. I started playing the episode. It showed the opening credits, and then the title card to the first story of the episode. And of all things, the name of the first story was: BIG FOOT! 

Apparently it was Bigfoot Night for me!

This particular season of Super Friends had like three stories per episode, and the HBO Max screen that showed this season's episodes also listed the titles of each story beside the episode numbers. So there were a lot of titles of stories of episodes on that screen, which is why I didn't even notice the name of this story at first. As a matter of fact, I think I may have even noticed the names of the second and third stories of this episode, just not the first.

So after a night of watching Bigfoot shows, I pick an episode of Super Friends to watch that just so happens to be about Bigfoot. FREAKYYYYYY!!!

Happy that the Vintage DC Comics Calendar is back!

Interesting choice for the cover of a 2016 calendar.  Does it have a twofold meaning?

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into Books-A-Million at Edgewater Mall in Biloxi, MS, Saturday and saw a new Vintage DC Comics Calendar for 2016!  Asgard Press made these calendars in the past for a few years.  I always bought them because they were so awesome, but they haven't made them in a while.  I hadn't even heard that they were going to start making them again for 2016.  I always loved these calendars because they showed old DC Comics comic book covers.

The calendar cover is a comic book cover of Wonder Woman running for president.  Right off the bat, I realized why that cover may have been picked: in 2016, Wonder Woman is going to be featured on the big screen for the first time ever in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also in 2016, there may be a woman elected president for the first time!  And I hope there is!  (Clinton, anyway, not Fiorina.)

The cover used for May 2016 is of Hawkman #1, from 1964.  I own that issue, and its one of my most valuable comics.

Oh, and this calendar is BIG, too, 11"x30" when opened up all the way.  And I got it for 50% off the suggested retail price of $21.95.  Calendar shopping is always best after Christmas, cause you can always get them for a lot of percentage points off!
