I'm 29 and loving it.
The stall that made very good pork satay. The owner was very friendly too - "Take one more pic... just one not enough" (in Mandarin). @Muar Glutton Street

The wolverine (also spelled wolverene), Gulo gulo (Gulo is Latin for "glutton"), also referred to as the glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch (from East Cree, kwiihkwahaacheew), is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae. It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. A solitary animal, it has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.
The wolverine is found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in Northern Canada, the U.S. state of Alaska, the mainland Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Its population has steadily declined since the 19th century owing to trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation. The wolverine is now essentially absent from the southern end of its European range.
The straight stripes distinguish this caterpillar from the tomato hornworm, which has chevron rather than single diagonal striping. (although it was munching on tomato plants)
Genus name is Manduca, which means glutton. Trust them on this one, it applies.
This caterpillar goes into a pupa stage for about two weeks then emerges as a sphinx moth.

My brother, being a glutton for punishment, decided to make the "Peas & Carrots" recipe from Thomas Keller's French Laundry again (in addition to the traditional Christmas dinner of turkey, stuffing, etc.). These are crepes filled with Maine lobster and topped with pea shoot salad, with a carrot-ginger emulsion, if I remember correctly. Delicious.
Being a glutton for punishment, I decided to sneak outside to take some pictures of Dark World Thor, a movie that apparently most people hated, whereas I loved. i'm guessing it had something to do with the story line?
Anyway, Thor arrived to me during a period of transition between hobbies, and I guess I just never got around to taking any decent photos of the figure whatsoever.
Being an older figure, clearly the sculpt shows signs of age, although to be fair, it was still in use until Roadworn Thor, give or take a few blonde highlights. As always, the likeness is there.. ish, but always is off the mark in some shape or form. In this case, I feel its the shape of the lower jaw, giant forehead, and the shallowness of the cheeks that are mainly responsible for throwing off the accuracy. Oh, that and the fact Thor is a Brunette here.
Detailing on the outfit is superb as always, but doesn't allow the poor guy to do any real posing, particularly with regards to its upper body, which isn't really done any favours by the arms, which as you may recall came in two flaours of rubber - unarmoured or battle ready.
Mjolnir is die cast, and as a result causes further posing restrictions due to weight of the thing, but at least it looks pretty.
Overall, he looks badass in a museum pose with his hammer in hand
Its actually a solid door, skilfully painted. Fooled me - I almost stuck my head through the top half, thinking it was open . . . .
