When I asked the toys who would like to come to the seaside today, a quartet of Kens put their hands up and jumped into my bag straight away. They were keen to get down to the beach again to indulge in their hobby of Conchology - that’s a posh way of saying they collect shells. More info. Ref: D1069-07

Regent’s Canal Crew
This week’s Toybox topic is As Seen On TV. So I figured the Cybermen would fit the bill nicely. Here they are wandering along the towpath of the Regent’s Canal, looking for somewhere interesting to invade. More info. Ref:
The no 23 bus left it's normal line of route from Harborne at Five Ways as Broad Street is closed for the Westside Metro Extension to Hagley Road.
The bus headed down Islington Rowa Middleway, Tennant Street, Bishopsgate Street, then up Bath Row towards Holloway Circus and up Smallbrook Queensway to St Martin's Queensway (where I got off outside of New Street Station).

Arrived today.
My copy didn't arrive in a box of coffee beans, but I can live with that. I have plenty of coffee.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut (2012) is a psychological-horror, open-world game developed by ToyBox Inc. and published by Rising Star Games.
The first thing that will come to mind is that the game isn't on par graphics wise with most of the triple A titles of today. Secondly, the game play can be a bit repetitive and tedious at times. Lastly, the dialogue can be pretty horrible and the story, simply confusing; yet, it's incredibly fun and quite charming with it's interesting set of characters and engaging tasks. There are hours worth of play time with Deadly Premonition The Director's Cut. Great game!
You take on the role of FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan, as you investigate the mysteries surrounding the gruesome murder of a young woman named Anna Graham in small town called Greenvale.
Aside from game play that feels like a clash of Resident Evil 4 meets Silent Hill, you'll have the opportunity to travel all over Greenvale in an open-world environment similar to the setting of David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Don't forget to shave your face. Agent York's facial hair actually grows while you play.
I just wished Amazon had given me a DLC code that was not invalid. Maybe pouring some milk in my morning cup of coffee will give me a DLC code that actually works... You hear that, Zach?

Order! Order!
Today saw the inaugural meeting of the Fuzzy Club, Mid-Essex Branch. Fuzzy Domo was (naturally) the chairdomo, being one of the hairier members of the clan. He had some trouble getting the others’ attention and had to bang his gavel on the side of the chair to call order. Then they all swore the oath of allegiance to Fuzzydom and got on with their Fuzzy Business.

Elemental Domos
I had to ask for four Domo volunteers for this week's 52 Weeks theme - The Elements. And they mean in the Earth, Air, Fire & Water sense, not the scientific elements. As you can see, Muddy, Airy, Rainy and Fiery did their job very well. More info. Ref: D1097_45

As long as I'm digging through the toybox this week, here's proof that I'm not on the Danelectro payroll. For my birthday in 1996 my wife took me to see GOV'T MULE at the old Frankie's Patio in Ybor City. Funny story, actually. The previous year she'd taken me to see Primus and Helmet as kind of an early birthday concert and since she worked for the local Sheriff's Office she got a Deputy to let us in the venue before the audience was admitted. So we got to stand front and center on the rail without waiting in line all afternoon...and I went to the hospital before the end of the night. Heh..."Deep Tissue Trauma." I thought I had a ruptured appendix. She came away with a black eye. Seldom seen a crowd that worked-up. I turned 30 a couple of weeks later and it was my first indication that I might be getting too old for mosh pits.
Anyway, for my 31st we went to see the Mule and Warren was using one of these. Sounded amazing, but of course Warren ain't no slouch, so he'd have probably made a cheap chorus pedal sound great. Anyway, a few weeks later the old Thoroughbred Music on Hillsborough Ave. in Tampa was having a sale to blow out returned and demo items and this was on their list of things they were going to be discounting. I seem to remember that they had two of them. First come, first served and all that, so I sat outside the store all night long with about a hundred other customers in an area of Tampa that's kind of like Detroit was in the original Robocop. I was in the first dozen or so people in the door and scored this for something like $100. I seem to remember they sold for something like $200 at the time, so I was psyched.
Long story short (as if that's ever an option with me), it's a very cool substitute for a normal chorus pedal. Lotta character. And yet they've become collectable and I'm thinking of selling mine. I hate owning stuff that's too valuable for me to bash around. Because I'm a big clumsy oaf and "normal use" for me frequently looks like serious abuse.
