Buying at Borders

[kybearfuzz]

A new shopping area has opened up near my house. They have some great restaurants, upscale shopping (which I'll likely not patronize often), and a Borders! The last makes me the most happy because I love bookstores and I can check the store's inventory online and get discount coupons in the mail. I've already spent a good chunk of money there on DVD's this weekend.

I bought the DVD box set of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a sort of X-Files precursor from the early-to-mid 1970's starring Darren McGavin as the reporter who finds himself often investigating the supernatural. It has a great mix of comedy and horror, something I think the new Night Stalker series lacks. It only lasted for a couple of seasons, but I think it would have done well if they hadn't canceled it. It has a cult following of sorts. And Darren McGavin is a nice furry guy as I found out from the episode "The Ripper."



Kolchak investigates a massage parlor and shows some skin...
One of the other movies I bought this weekend was Bram Stoker's The Mummy, found in the bargain bin while out and about. The movie is pretty much independent junk, but it stars Richard Karn in a supporting role. It's one of the few chances to see him shirtless. I snagged a screen capture for those who are interested to see it.



Richard Karn also shows some skin...

If only Richard knew who his real fans were. We'd buy just about anything with him showing some skin.

I seem to remember him being made aware of his gay male fans. There was a bear club somewhere that made him an honorary member and him being very good natured and accepting of it. My memory is too sketchy to give any more details -- this was probably 10 years ago. He is incredibly dreamy and I'm told he is just as sweet in person.

Well, he may be one of the few stars who embraces having a gay audience who appreciates him. I will always picture him being like Al Borland, sweet and cuddly :)

Oh! He's... *waves hands* Al from 'Home Improvement'!

Duh!

He's a local guy, too, from what I understand. Well, by "local" I mean "near Seattle".
