Modern Vespa

Actually just needed time, not the extra hint but that certainly nailed it!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inexplicably located in Cleveland. (Not really inexplicably....they outbid other, more likely cities.)

That structure put me in mind of this one. Certainly there's a museum involved, but the rock inside doesn't roll.

Ah, in Paris, the Louvre Pyramid. I don't know what is inside. But I understand this is a good city for scooters.

Do you think this pop artist is displayed there?

I am hoping that no tag means that you all had a great warm spring weekend to go riding.

But, just in case, I went back to search for my photo. It is no longer easy to find, in fact I needed at least part of the painting name to find it. Go figure. I am unable to think up great clues this morning so I submit a much easier to find poster in a Max size help make this move along. Tag either one or both, no problem.

I've afraid I've been wildly busy lately. And yes, it was a lovely day to ride yesterday...so I did!

No need for more clues...it was on the second page of my search....but then I still have the Peter Max plate from back in the day. I did sell the Peter Max bedsheets on eBay to a collector in Japan some years back.

Also, please post clues, not a completely different image. Confuses the heck out of me because I then think I need to get both. Just don't have time right now so you only get the original one.

Peter's really more of an illustrator than an artist. He was very much "of his time."

And since I need to be working right now, instead of staying "on topic" and riffing on the current thread I'm going to use an image I already had prepped earlier.

This multi-talented artist - musician, actor, rapper, dancer, singer - has a style all his own...quirky, and unique for someone in the field in which he first gained fame.

He was voted one of the World's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities a few years ago.

that would be André 3000 aka André Lauren Benjamin

will following your lead, lets go back to our weapon of choice tag



This 1960's show was the longest running espionage series produced for English-language television.

And here I was planning to work and not play.

The Avengers! I just loved this very arch show! Diana Rigg was responsible for carbonating many a young lad's hormones, and she was a role model for young women eager to explore new ways of being.

And speaking of weapons of choice...

that would be,

Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim.

With Christopher Walken, it won multiple awards at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards and earned a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Video.

ok after he did the video for Norman Quentin Cook and others he did one this one for Kanye West.

Currently he is working on a film of a much loved though some what controversial children's story.

So name this exBMX jackass director.

That would be the perpetually busy Spike Jonze, who is trying to wrap-up a dark version of "Where the Wild Things Are". The video still is from Kanye West's "See You in my Nightmares."

Now oddly, some folks STILL get these two directors confused.

That would be "She's Gotta Have It"

by Shelton Jackson "Spike" Lee

You're right there is a TV channel with that name and this is one of their biggest shows.

(hint you just need the initials)

So many of their programs are known by initials! UFC...TNA...CSI...

Speaking of televised sports with reputations for being somewhat staged, we have this 1950 example.

Excessive exuberance?

New one, it's more about speed:

that would be,

The Sport of Inline Speed Skating

It does not have Olympic status, however a number of inline speed skaters have switched to ice speed skating in order to have a chance at attending the Olympics. KC Boutiette, who made the switch in late 1993 and skated at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Derek Parra, Jennifer Rodriguez, Joey Cheek and Chad Hedrick (who was the first American to win that event since Eric Flaim in 1988.) In 2006, Hedrick and Cheek also won one gold medal each at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.

(source Wikipedia)

well Spike has the UFC and this cable channel has this .......
(well they also have the Dog)

It's the contemporary version of the old roller derby, a little more campy with costumes inspired by rockabilly or burlesque fashions and creative examples of word play aliases such as Sister Mary Jane, Punky Bruiser and Miss Conduct (picture here).


You'll need the name of the channel as well as the name of the show.

Good one!!

Well that would be A&E channel's Rollergirls. (but in order to tag this, you can't put in the "&" part of the channel name)

In keeping with this theme....I remember when this came out it was supposed to be the most VIOLENT film to date! (ca. 1975)

Must've been because they used those nasty motorcycles instead of our sweet little scoots!

Rollerball (vintage Sylvester Stallone, I believe)

Stallone is said to ride a motorbike in this movie, too


Never saw it and probably won't
Despite the cool dystopia setting, it isn't supposed to be a classic

Actually it was James Caan, not Sylvester. But he probably coulda' done well in that role too.

Love that top case you put on the bike. That sweetened it up a little. He doesn't look nearly so nasty now!

Would have been a good place to store their balls too...

Dang it!
Now I'm getting my excellent-chin "he men" confused

that would be Judge Dredd

well Sly was in this 1975 cult action film along with a very S/M looking David Carradine who was named after the main character in The Modern Prometheus.

Hah! Death Race 2000!
The reason that I've been saying "No Points for the Pedestrians" for decades

Another movie dystopia staring one of my excellent-chin dudes (that's him emerging),
but this time set mostly on Mars

Do you guys need hints,
or are you all on vacation?

nay working and easter weekend.


if no one gets it by Monday I will.


Happy Bunny Day

Total Recall.

From a flick about cars, aliens, lobotomies, and white suburban punks. Easy.

But you do need to find, alter, and post a version of the original image to get credit for the tag. ID'ing the movie is not enough!

So the image you posted would be along these lines...

Grr. OK. Sorry...didn't get that part of the rules. Hi. I'm a dork.

Total Recall.
