Checkmate In Four Moves, Predator

Can't an Alien and a Predator just get along? The image, along with the duo playing pool and tetherball, were created by a New Zealand ad agency for the Sky TV network, for an airing of Alien vs. Predator. I suspect the ad was better than the film.

Trivial Pursuit card
iTunes card

The Cure: Three Imaginary Boys (first album, English import, vinyl)
Sudbury, Ont. snow globe
Disco Stu

Philip K. Dick: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Calvin & Hobbes: Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'
Watchmen
Simpsons cast poster

The Tick
Kordos (or is it Kang?)

If you make your own, post a link in the comments. I'd love to see it.

You Sank My Battleship

Did you see what they did there? More clever nostalgia from Threadless. I really must start wearing more t-shirts.
