It's kind of haunted me my whole life. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. My daughter's the one that showed me your blog with the pic of the conquistador in the first place. She's 18 and hasn't seen it in 10 years, but she still remembers it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122038656931246191.post-53335103759287660042010-05-29T13:44:30.260-04:002010-05-29T13:44:30.260-04:00When I was a kid, my stepfather had this painting....When I was a kid, my stepfather had this painting. Scared the heck out of me. Over the years it deteriorated until all you could see was his face dimly staring back and his piercing eyes. The frame it was in was beautiful, but the painting I had to get rid of. When I was little I thought it was cursed. I still have the frame, though I've never been able to bring myself to put another painting in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122038656931246191.post-9312215546630575782010-05-22T22:31:40.103-04:002010-05-22T22:31:40.103-04:00We have the same spooky conquistador on our dining...We have the same spooky conquistador on our dining room wall. do you know the artist? please email me at moonbeam11001@yahoo.com if you know.

Loved Tropical Thunder - when you constantly forget its Robert Downey Jr. THAT is a great performance. Even Tom Cruise was funny and my tongue should snap off its roller for saying that. Glad to hear that you censor certain movies from your kids.

I thoroughly enjoyed basking in its unparalleld awfullness. <br /><br />I don't remember the creepy painting, however.
