Oh, you want to know who won the Superman Returns contest that ended on July 4th, nine days ago? Oops. What can I say. You all know I’ve been a bit distracted lately. My sincere apologies. I printed up the names of all entrants, put them in a coffee can and had them drawn by…
No longer trapped in the Comedy Central closet

Models, uniforms, Borg outfits, weapons, tribbles… Just remember to bring money.
