I don't see Mjolnir listed, despite the pic.  :(

That's because despite almost a dozen movies where they call it by its correct name, 99.9999% of the general public has no idea what or who Mjolnir is.

Call it "Thor's hammer" and you have better luck: http://www.amazon.com/Wall-Art-Thor-Hammer-Nightlight/dp/B00EQX0UHU

So sad.

After checking out the link I do have to say that the ornament seems a bit... puny.

It's 2015. Would you like a flying minivan? Of course you do. $12,100 and you can fly it home!




Would you like to pay a little more for a flying dune buggy from that far future date of 1980 that (probably) doesn't require a pilot's license, and (certainly) requires less cost in storage, upkeep, and parts?

How about a smaller flying dune buggy with some assembly still required, for about the cost of a good laptop computer? $2550 + shipping!

My Dad (who is not likely long for this world, though that's been true for 20+ years), was once the chief helicopter mechanic on a carrier escort cruiser during Vietnam. I'll always wish we had gone in together on a project like this...  :'(

Airwolf for $12,000!  fuck ya!!!
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

No but it does come with a passed out-drunken Jan-Michael Vincent snoring and sprawled across the rear seats.

Not gonna lie, I had that theme running hard in my head looking at that little beauty. I don't think I could ever take off without humming it, or playing its cue via MP3...

Also, if I thought I had the money to keep it properly, that's the copter I'd want to train to get my license on. I'm severely tempted to buy it right now, just on general principle -- $12K is awfully damn reasonable. But who knows when if ever I'd get it home, or where I'd keep it, or what I'd do with it once I got my license (other than pour hundred dollar bills into the engines and set them on fire...)

I just noticed from your footer, Jason , that you wrote a book. You might want to make a kindle version available.
