Even a ruthless underground global organization bent on corrupting humanity and taking away their civil liberties probably needs a stationary with a logo on it.

    Surely you jest... SilCorDyne is far more evil, as well a reckless and inconsiderate... In addition to being misguided and prone to poor judgement they aren't even underground...
    Well, except for their huge underground facilities... Those are underground.
    But everything else is aboveground.
    Their frozen foods division, their canned pet and zombie foods, their pharmaceutical goods, the wide array of snazzy consumer electronics, their subways and subway accessories...
    Wait... Those are underground too...
    I suppose their mole ranching division is mostly underground as well... And if you don't count the two "Wholly Moley Mole Burgers" that are located in subway stations in NYC, then that is mostly aboveground too...
    But for the most part SilCorDyne is right there in your face... Selling you the things it says you need, while it pulls the strings to manipulate the world right in front of everyone's eyes and nobody thinks twice about it!
    Muuuhaaahaaahaaaaaahaaaaaahaa.... haaa,haaa... ha.

    But none the less, I encourage competition in the evil game... evil arena... arena of evil... hmm... I'm gonna have to work on that...
    My writer accidentally fell into a piranha filled tank of alligatorsharks.
    He didn't actually fall... I pushed him...
    I wasn't sure if anyone got that... Sometimes evil can be too subtle.
    But anyway...
    Nice logo StratDragon!


    Sorry to interupt.

    I think I interviewed for a job with them.

    No wait, that was Computer Associates.

    Ah, the Engulf and Devour of the computer software industry; long may they rot! :-)

    I had an 'interesting' 90 days once converting off all the CA products in the shop before a mainframe upgrade; CA wanted more up front for the new system than IBM did.

    Lord V is a modeler too but if he wants me to do it I have good idea that caps off with a duck with the head of John Petrucci in a pair of Yaphank H.S. Sweatpants putting Billy Joel in a vicious headlock. I have 48GB RAM so anything is possible in Blender now.

    I had many friends and acquaintances who burnt out from CA in 6 months. It's working conditions for Technology professionals and programmers who want to know what forced labor would be like at a Dickensian sulfur mill run by carrier Satanists.

    Well, we certainly didn't help them any. After CA bought out a company they'd cancel the toll-free support lines - the only 800 number for CA took you to the group that would give you the proper long-distance number for the product you wanted assistance with.

    When we finished the conversions, we boxed up all the tapes and documentation to return as our contracts required. All of the stuff (six BIG boxes) went back with a CA postage paid first class return envelope taped to them. Two months later CA quit including postage-paid envelopes or postcards in their mailings. From what I recall seeing in Computer World at the time, we were not the only outfit that did this.

    I figured StratDragon knew what I was talking about with SilCorDyne...
    I was joking with him... SilCorDyne (Silicon Dynamics) is the EvilMega Corporation that is vaguely connected to many of my freebie models within the alternate universe they exist in... the logo is usually located somewhere on the model... It has lots of different versions over a long time period... 1940s-2800s...?
    Zombalta, Zombie Chow, Portly-Man TV dinners, Wakefield ZP Reactor Mk67,Sylon spray paint,Raunchy Roach Motel,HD-1000 Minicam, The Specimen Case... are some of their products...
    Sometimes, even if its not mentioned in the promos the model might still have it on there somewhere.

    Most of the names I know referring to that company would require censorship to be allowed to be posted on the forums.

    And according the friends I had who worked for that company, Strat, you are being too nice...

    Nice job on the logo...don't know what I will do with it...but I'll find something to use it for.

    The makers of Lawn Shark and Baby Mow My Hair? I know SilCorDyne but they're still not as evil as J.D and the Straightshot which for those of you not from Long Island the owner of CableVision, the NY Knicks and AMC has been heading up a music group that has become the only opening band option for any actual successful band (allmans, stones, ac/dc, etc.) that wishes to play Maddison Square or Nassau Colosseum. They are horrific and Long Islanders await the prophecy when great Ronkathulu rises up from his crypt of eternal madness (exit 59 - 60 on the Expressway) and devours James Dolan while he performs a bad acoustic cover on a Little Feat classic.

    Strictly for evil, but CA already has a logo. That was the only place I had people tell me I'd be happier unemployed living in a discarded refrigerator for a shelter than going to work there.

    And yet several times my wife applied for a tax accounting job there... I here they let the tax people go home for a few hours on holidays.

    Ronkathulu... Nice... Next time I'm at lake Ronkonkoma, I'm gonna weave that one into a nice tale for the kiddies...
    Ronkathulu is much better than the story of the ghost of an Algonquin princess that everyone says haunts the place.
    Given all those old abandoned lakeside restaurants that are there it could really be a good nightmare giver.
    Thanks buddy!

    that place has an odd history and I had equally odd experiences being in that town for a short time.
    Ronkathulu is secretly known as "Ronky" by the natives and if you leave an offering of a '79 Iroc up on cinder blocks next to your house he will eat it, unless he stopped for garlic knots right before.

    Not too long ago I read Richard Mathesons "The Incredible Shrinking Man"; the book not movie; which takes place in an unnamed town on eastern Long Island with a lake. That may have creeped me out more than anything else in the book.

    That could be it... It's the only "big" lake of any note on the island.
    And pretty deep too...
    From Wikipedia:
    "Rumored to have no bottom, Lake Ronkonkoma has deep depressions that seem to go on forever. It is impossible for a human being to go all the way to the bottom unassisted as the depressions are well in excess of 100 feet (30 m) at its southeastern side. A diving expedition in the early half of the 20th century revealed just how deep these depressions go, but myths continue to persist of the "bottomless lake". Such rumors include the presence of a "whirlpool" in the dead center of the lake that drags people down into the bottomless hole where they drown and are never seen again. Similarly, it is said that the deepest depression forms an underground tunnel that empties out into Long Island Sound, and through this tunnel myriad creatures from the sea pour in. A popular rumor among wildly imaginative kids is that the depressions are gateways to Hell."
    I prefer to think of them as portals to hell, but that's just me...
    Also...
    "Reportedly, in the earliest days of Lake Ronkonkoma, an inlet connected the lake to the ocean, and pirates would sail into the lake proper to sink their treasures for retrieval at a later time. More often, the lake was supposedly used an execution ground. Rumors of a skeleton found bound in chains near the Ronkonkoma Beach have never been proven."
    What the hell inlet could of reached the great South Bay or LI Sound, I can't imagine... That sounds pretty far fetched to me.
    Though that won't stop me from making up wild rumors and terrorizing small children with tales of zombie pirates hellbent on retrieving their gold or lost treasure maps.
    Yarrrrr! Tis a great legend indeed!

    don't forget the mighty, mighty Nissequogue River!! Many a Smithtown or Jamesport residents have spoken of one of those crazy ass bearded pirates having buried booty in it's dark waters, but I've forgotten which one: Black Beard? Blue Beard, Seaford/Oyster Bay Beard? Walt Whitman wrote a poem about it, then spent 10 years in Kings Park Psychiatric Center convinced he was Steve Vai'wha-wha pedal.

    http://abandonednyc.com/2014/06/17/kings-park-psychiatric-centers-building-93/

    when I'm done with the project I'm working on now I think I want to try this buildings exterior and interior, but the pics here don't do it justice. I've seen it in the distance just before a thunderstorm and it's some spooky mojo.

    Muhahahahah!

    That place is positively creepy...and last time I saw it, inside, I thought that maybe Jack Tomlin had taken a tour of the place...made some of his sets look 'tame' and tidy.

    You wonder about the architects of those places, did they read a lot of HP Lovecraft before drafting some sketches. I thought they were made up for horror stories and comics when I was a kid until you see one for real and it's 5 minutes from your house if anyone decides to grab a an axe check themselves out.

    When I was a kid, me and my friends used to explore the abandoned buildings on the south end of Roosevelt Island.
    (For anyone not from NYC or LI, thats a two mile long, 800 ft wide island in the middle of NYC's East River, between Queens/Long Island and Manhattan- it's tramway was featured in 2002's Spider-Man)
    Most of the buildings were torn down about twenty years ago... The biggest one, "Charity Hospital" spanned across the island...
    http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?va=exact&sp=1&st=gallery&q=Photograph:+ny1538&fi=number&op=PHRASE
    That was one spooky, gothic old building... It had a sub-sub basement filled with rusting beds, assorted creepy metal frames, piles of wire mesh panels and discarded pipes... The place made the netherworld of Silent Hill look cozy.
    One summer day we came back after several days of rain and found that three floors of the west wing had pancaked down into the basement... The other creepy building was the morgue (Strecker Pathology Laboratory)...
    http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/strecker-memorial-laboratory
    which while it wasn't a very large building, it had a fairly deep, high ceiling basement.
    My friends and I had no idea it was a morgue, until one day we found the way down to the basement and discovered the body drawers.
    That was weird... That and when we first went inside there was a desk with a really old alarm clock radio partly tuned to 1010 WINS news radio at a barely audible level... (it was plugged in)... It stayed like that for probably a year until one day it was gone.
    That building is right next to the Smallpox Hospital, or Rennwick Ruin as some people call it... I don't know if they filmed it on a set, or on location, but in the first Spider-Man movie, thats the place where the Green Goblin dies at the end... Actually in Grand Theft Auto IV there is a fair representation of the building in nearly the same place...
    http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/roosevelt-island-smallpox-hospital-ruins
    As cool looking as that building was, back then even us lunatics hardly ever went inside... As it was actively falling apart. If you stood around long enough, you could hear stuff falling off all the time.
    Currently the is a restoration/stabilization project going on and most of that end of the island is now a park.
    The whole south end of the island has a very creepy past as most of the island does, being that the island spent most of its history as a quarantine center for smallpox or other serious diseases, a huge penitentiary, workhouses, orphan asylum or as a prison for the criminally insane... For a large number of those that ended up there (13,000 or more) that was the last place they'd stay.

    A rather small picture of Charity Hospital in 1994, before it was torn down
