Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

01/11/2005: Elvis Presley, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.


I swear to God, I can't make this shit up. Basically, an action figure customizer (Yes Virginia, there is such a hobby) has taken the Nick Fury action figure from Toy Biz's Marvel Legends, Series 5, put Elvis's head on it, and given Elvis a few more "weapons" than Toy Biz gave Col. Fury (as I should know, since I am the proud owner of one of the Nick Fury figures).

Here's Agent Elvis in action:



And here's Agent Elvis, no doubt pitching some woo to a "Presley babe" (the seller of the figure refers to this as a "guitar"; maybe I'm off a bit in my judgment, but I think this is a ukelele, myself):



And a last shot, the "Elvis Presley, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." package:



If you went to the eBay link; yes, that's me who made the bid on this. If I go back and find that any of you bastards outbid me I'm going to hunt you down and kill you. :-)

I don't have the links anymore, but a few years back there were some women doing Star Trek porn with action figures, as well as Kirk/Spock "love stories." Ick.
