Passed though State College last night between 7:30-8pm. Accidents were happening all around me. Of course, the 18-wheeler's were traveling as if the roads were clear.

They must have some false sense of security. And then...boom!!

I-80 Eastbound in Centre County has finally Re-opened
State College, PA – As of 9:15 P.M., a section of I-80 eastbound in Centre County has been re-opened, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

With the roadway re-opened, the detour has been lifted. Drivers had been following the orange detour, which used Routes 26 and 64 to move traffic from the Bellefonte/161 interchange to the Lamar/173 interchange in Clinton County.
PennDOT thanks drivers for their patience during this incident.
Drivers can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 770 traffic cameras.

390 Capistrano Rd
Half Moon Bay, CA
[Tuesday 7:00 pm]
It's Always Sunni in PakistanJared
What a Shiite pun to start the night. Anyway, it sure as shit hasn't been sunny in Half Moon Bay. The storm on Sunday did some damage to my roof which sucks. The storm yesterday wasn't much better, especially if your BART train hit a felled tree. Glad you're okay, Ryan. So yeah, that sort of sums up the week. Not the greatest ever, but at least it isn't 2016. Also, I liked Rogue One. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
So we had a quiz for those of us brave enough to brave the storm. It started with a round on Pakistan and then went into bad country covers of songs some of you knew. Round 3 was about art and a chance for me to say "wang" into the microphone. Round 4 was the saddest round ever, and if I would have thought about it, I would have played that awful Sarah McLachlan arms of an angel song on a loop. Round 5 was trying to figure out celebrities and their celebrity doppelgangers. Round 6 was on heists and Round 7 was on fake doctors. Round 8 which is usually really fucking hard, had an almost perfect score. Well done teams!
With an extra 16 point round, we had some pretty high scores this week, which makes our current cumulative competition a little interesting. MENSA Rejects came in 7th, but to be fair, one of their guys was delayed with the BART tree. 6th went to The Real Book Hockey and 5th went to Taking Back Tuesday. 4th went to It's Raining Cat Stevens and 3rd went to The Ancient Mariners. Not bad since both of those teams were missing members as well. I made a joke to a new team about Legolas My Eggo not being great and they sure as shit showed me up by coming in second! And that left first (with I think the highest score we've gotten so far) to Book Hockey thanks to a 15 point round 5 and 15 point round 8!
I had fun. I hope you guys did too! See you every Tuesday at The Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for Geeks Who Drink!
Jared is most definitely a geek who drinks. In addition to hosting a pub quiz, you're likely to find him in a mosh pit at a punk rock or thrash metal show. He collects records and comic books and types about himself in the 3rd person. His greatest trivia accomplishment is he once won a trip to London on a game show that he wasn't a contestant on. His greatest drinking achievement is the 30 Equis Challenge. He's smart, funny, and good looking. So, naturally, he's taken. By his wife of over 15 years. Play his quiz every Tuesday in HMB!

Current versions:
Keep it small and simple - according to this principle, a great game is managed with N-ball 2.2.
A ball, even a glowing plasma ball, on a course to steer, should actually not be difficult. Especially not in 2D as in N-ball 2.2. But make no mistake, because on a route laced with obstacles and holes, even the smallest error can lead to crash, and seen exactly for N-ball 2.2 more often than one would like. But in turn. Download of the zipped installation files is quick and easy, as the installation. You don't have many options at the shareware by N-ball 2.2 Unfortunately, but that does not detract from the fun.
The shareware has version of N-ball 2.2 mode of the level-easy, medium and hard beside the Freeplay to the selection. In the Freeplay you can play the 1 campaign mode, the campaigns of 2 to 4 are not activated. In campaign 1, you can then play the levels 1 to 6, and for starters, this is more than sufficient. At N-ball 2.2, you must try to move a luminous ball through an obstacle course. You can control the ball with the cursor keys, and the right cursor button the ball faster and the left button the ball is slower. Jumped is with the space bar, and thus the whole control is also already explained, because one needs more at N-ball 2.2 not. The ball can jump only if he touches anything. In principle you can hold the whole time the SPACEBAR, because then the ball jumps automatically, as soon as he touched something. However the cracks can go very far or in the wrong direction, so that you can lose won terrain quickly by a wrong jump at N-ball 2.2.
Of course is it riddled with holes, as well as flexible obstacles, but because you have 20 balls available, you can afford the one or another failed attempt. And of which there are more than one might believe in N-ball 2.2, because the idea of the game is so simple, so professionally she has been implemented also.

MN, 4 more states take Asian carp case to Supreme Court
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Five states are going to the U.S. Supreme Court with a plea for faster action on a federal study of how to prevent invasive species such as Asian carp from migrating between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said Wednesday he's asked the nation's highest court to hear the case after being turned down by a federal appeals court in August.
Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are suing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Chicago's water district. They want to physically separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi drainage basins in the Chicago area, where a man-made navigational canal offers a direct link between Lake Michigan and Mississippi tributaries.
Chicago-area shipping interests say doing so would damage the area economy and cause flooding.

Shattered Souls
Chapter Three
Found Her Again
- New Bark Town, 6:02 P.M. Johto Region -
- Bakura's POV -
"Um, Bakura? You do know where you're going?" Ryou, my annoying host asked.
"Not the slightest clue." I responded.
Somehow, we woke up in a forest. Yeah, I pretty sure I wasn't drinking last night. Anyway, we found our way out and we found a town. It was pretty small, but I could make out a couple of shops and houses.
"Anyway, WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?" Ryou yelled. I always thought that he was a bit screwed up in the mind.
"The sign said we're in New Bark Town. And what kind of name is that?" I asked. Seriously? You aren't that creative if you name a town like that.
Ryou shrugged. I rolled my eyes and saw her.
Her back was turned to me, but I knew her anywhere. The scar shaped like a "X" across her back and the golden chain around her ankle with an eye was enough.
"Bakura? Bakura!" My host tried to get my attention, but I wasn't focused on him. I was focusing on her.
She turned to me. Her ice-blue eyes, the color of the bright blue sky, were the first thing I saw the first day I saw her.
"Bakura?" she whispered, a dark, quite beautiful voice, like a black willow spider weaving a web of darkness.
"Zahra?" I whispered. A girl, the host I'll bet, was beside her. I knew that Ryou was beside me as well.
"YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER?" They both yelled.
Zahra smiled wickedly. "How about we talk in a less, public, place?" she asked, her blue eyes looking all over the people watching us.
I nodded. "Of course, my little desert rose, lead the way." I said, grinning.
She smiled and lead us to a small house right outside the town. It was made of dark cherry wood, and had had a second story with a couple of windows.
"Not the place I would see you in Zahra." I said, coming in. In the living room there was a sofa and two loveseat, all black leather. I could see there was a small kitchen and there was some stairs that lead to the second floor. The curtains were black and completely blocked out the setting sun.
Zahra shrugged, her long black hair like a curtain of shadows moving with her. Her beauty was eerily unnatural.
Zahra was wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans with black leather boots. Her Millennium Anklet was around her right ankle.
"You do with what you got." she said simply and sat down on the loveseat, relaxing her tense muscles. Her host appeared in spirit form and was seating on the rim of the loveseat.
I sat on the sofa, with Ryou looking sullen and he had his back against the wooden wall.
"Zahra, my desert rose, it's been too long." I said, smiling. She smiled too.
"True, so true. But, I am glad you okay. It's been about 5 thousand years since we last saw each other." she purred and she host, who didn't look like she was paying attention, turned her gaze to me. Her eyes were shockingly like Zahra's.
"So, you guys know each other?" her host asked, looking completely bored. Her eyes were dark and sharp.
Zahra laughed, beautiful and chilly at the same time. "Of course." I said, relaxing my back onto the sofa.
"Let me guess, you were lovers?" Zahra's host asked bluntly. I was kinda taken back by the straightforwardness of her question.
But, Zahra kept her cool and replied: "Why yes, we were."
Her host smiled. "I was just asking." she said shrugging, looking to the floor.
"Anyway, what brings you here Bakura, my thief?" Zahra said.
The million dollar question. Why were we here anyway?
"I don't know. We," I pointed over to my host, "Just woke up in the forest outside of here. I don't have the slightest clue why we woke up there."
Zahra smiled, her full red lips curving ever so slightly. "I don't think that matters. I know that we were suppose to be together again and it was just Fate. Seen the Pharaoh anywhere?"
I nodded. "A couple times, to the truthful, which I never am," I add the last part in, "But, I couldn't get the Puzzle. That stupid Pharaoh, always finding a way out of everything." I spat.
Zahra looked sympathetic. "I know how that feels." She looked away, unable to look me in the eye. "Seen . . . my sister?" she looked up, blue eyes blazing with fire.
I shook my head. "I haven't." I said, looking down. I looked back up. Zahra's eyes were burning deeply with hatred.
"Stupid Layla, she always got what she wanted. And stupid Emu for following her. Only I could trust was you," She said that looking into my eyes and smiling. "And Kepi." she add after a thought.
"Seen Kepi anywhere? I miss her, she was the life of the party. She always knew where to get all the good drinks in the bars." I said, remembering.
Zahra shook her head.
"How did you guys met?" Ryou finally said something.
"Well, that's a long story. Remember it?" I asked, giving Zahra the lopsided grin I knew she liked.
She rolled her eyes. "How could I forget?" she asked back.
"How did it go?" Zahra's host asked.
"Well . . ."
- New Bark Town, Zahra's House, 7:59 P.M. Johto Region -
- Zahra's POV -
The dark, musky scent of darkness, men, sweat, and alcohol hung in the air of the bar.
I was at the Night Shade, the local bar in my village. You could always find a drunken fool doing something there. The warm light of candles made it feel safe, but it was only a feeling.
It was also a great place to bet all our money and lose it all in one night. Which I just made a lot of fools tonight.
I was one of the only women in the bar, the others were with men, playing and toying with them. It was a way of life for most women, and one that pays well. I wasn't one of them.
I'm a thief, and always will be. And it was all because of the Pharaoh.
"Well, well, shouldn't a lady like you be in your home, not at a bar like this?" I turned around from drinking my drink and placing the glass on the table gently.
A man, about 30 years of age, appeared before me. He was very tall, with black hair and eyes the color of the starless sky. He was wearing old robes, tattered and torn in some places.
"It is not your concern where I go. Now, let me go back to my drink." I said in a dark tone, but the man ignored me.
"Well, you are a fiery one. Come with me." he commanded.
I was not about to go with this man. What happened to my sister, will not happen to me.
"Let me go." I said darkly and yanked out of his viselike grip.
"Aw, she a tough one." the man said very loudly so all the eyes were on us two. He raised my hand up in the air. I could smell the alcohol from here. "Everyone look at the tough little whore!" he exclaimed in front of the crowd. I could feel the flush of my blood rushing to my face.
"Let. Me. Go." I said, but my words were a bit slurred from the alcohol and I couldn't yank out of his grip.
"I would let her go."
A voice stood out of the whispering and muttering from the crowd.
Another man, a bit older than me, stepped out of the crowd. He was tall, with silvery white hair and dark brown eyes with the slightest of ring of dark red around the outside of his irises. There was a tripe scar coming from his left eye. He was perfectly dark tan, with a red with gold robe and white shorts. He also had a ring-like pendant around his neck. It was gold and it had five long spikes hanging from it.
"And why is that?" the man asked, his words completely slurred. He had one too many drinks tonight.
"Because, she is mine. And if you want scars all over your body, I suggest that you let her go." he said in a dark, cold tone that send chills all over my body.
This guy was tough, and not one to mess with.
The man let me go and threw me at the white-haired, brown-eyed stranger. His strong arms held me tight and I felt safe, but scared. I was his? I left the arms of one man to another in less than a heartbeat.
"Thank you. She is mine and if you forget . . ." he left that hanging because he left me and stepped up and punched him in the nose.
"AW!" he screamed, holding his now bleeding and broken nose. His eyes narrowed in disgust, but he didn't say anything and he left the bar, leaving a trail of scarlet in his wake.
"And that goes for all of you who forget." he said, glaring everyone with a ice-cold stare. I was left staring at him, trembling. Who was this man?
"And now, we are leaving."
The moment we were out of the bar and into the cold streets of the village, the white-haired stranger pulled me into a cheap motel just out of the village. He rented us a room and yanked me into the room the second we got to the door. The entire time I didn't say anything. I was humiliated in front of the entire bar and I knew that my face was still burning red.
"W-who are you?" I asked, backing up to the wall. Fear was spiking all over my body, making my palms sweat and my heart race.
"Oh, yes. I forgot we didn't each other's name." I raised an eyebrow at that. He didn't remember that?
"The name's Bakura, nice to meet you. And you are?" he sat on a chair that was there in the room.
"Zahra." I said sharply, looking away.
"Zahra, Flower. You not much of a flower, but you do remind me of a rose. Zahra, the Desert Rose. Pretty nice title?" he said.
But, something dawned to me. "Wait, Bakura? You mean the . . ."
"The King of Thieves." Bakura finished for me. I felt my eyes widen. I took a lock of my hair and played with it. I didn't know what to say.
"Well? Why did you save me?" I said, not being able to look him in the eye.
"I couldn't let such a beautiful," he gave me a lopsided grin that made my heart do a flip. "Young lady be hurt by such a man. I did it out of the kindness of my heart."
I laughed at that. "You're the Thief King. You don't have any kindness in your heart. So, thanks for the help, but I need to go." I started to walk towards the door, but Bakura stopped me. His dark brown eyes with that red ring have hypnotic effect on me.
"Now, what's the rush? I'm sure you could stay the night." He was much taller than me. My head reached his shoulders. I looked at the pendant around his neck, not wanting to look into his eyes.
"Fine, I'll stay, but after that I'm leaving." He grinned.
"Now, you wait here. I'm going to get something to drink." Bakura said and with the swoop of his robe he left. I sighed. I was still a maiden, but I was close of losing it a couple times already.
He left the door open. What shocked me was the person who passed it.
One of my sisters.
"Kepi! Over here!" I hissed at her.
Kepi was the youngest of the family. She was the same height as me, with golden hair and dark blue eyes that was rare to see. Naturally, a lot of men were attracted to her.
Kepi giggled. "So, you finally see it my way." she said, her words slurred. Her breath carried the scent of her drinking.
I crossed my arms. "No. I am not here with a man sleeping with him. I am here against my will."
Kepi smiled. "Of course you are." she said. She was making me mad.
"Where is Emu and Layla?" I asked. Layla and Emu were my sisters. I am the oldest, Layla the second, Emu the third, and Kepi the youngest. Kepi was about 16. Emu was 18. Layla was 20 and I was 21.
"You will not believe it! She and Emu were chosen to go to the Pharaoh's Temple!"
"WHAT!" I screeched. "But, it was supposed to be the oldest and the youngest! You and me!" WHAT IN THE NAME OF RA?
"Well, you nor I was there when the priests came to our home. Layla said that it was only her and Emu there with Mother, so they took them." Kepi said, looking away.
"WHAT! LAYLA WAS LYING!" I screamed. "How DARE Layla say that lie! I swear to Ra that I'll kill her! She KNOWS I HATE the Pharaoh and that I want to talk to him!"
Me and Kepi turned around. Bakura was back with a bottle and two glasses.
"Zahra, my Desert Rose, who is your friend?" Bakura asked, eying Kepi. Kepi smiled and waved at him.
"Sister. Kepi, this is Bakura. Bakura, Kepi." I said tiredly. It was extremely late.
"Hi, Zahra, I better get going. My charge is waiting for me." she hugged me good-bye and left.
"Well, it seems that you come from a family of good-looking people." Bakura said, pouring a large amount of the drink into a glass and gave it to me.
It was clear, and it smelled faintly of roses. I shrugged and drink a bit. It was amazing good. Sweet and spicy at the same time. I smiled. "Pretty good." I said, sitting on the bed, relaxing my tense muscles.
Bakura gave himself a large amount too and drank it all in one shot. "Ah, that's good. I got it from a good friend of mine. Anyway, Zahra, Desert Rose, what do you have against the Pharaoh?" he asked, sitting next to me.
I took a swing of my drink. "He killed my father. My father was a solder for the him. He gave me, my mother, and my sisters, food and water and shelter. My mother's sister was a priestess in the Palace. And he killed them both. In front of me." I said bluntly. I could feel tears leaking onto my face.
Bakura's eyes widen. "I'm—I'm sorry. I didn't know." He put the hands on my face. His touch felt warm and a little rough. Slowly, he cleared away my tears. "Ssh, don't cry. Desert Rose, don't cry."
He let me go and I finished my drink. "You have anything against the Pharaoh?" I asked, my tears still flowing from my eyes.
He nodded thickly. 'He destroyed my entire village." I gasped.
"Oh my . . . I'm sorry." I whispered, looking at him.
"It's—It's okay."
Something dawned to me. "Is that why you became the Thief King? To somehow get back it him?" I asked, placing my hand over his. It felt nice, right.
Bakura's eyes widen. "You're a smart cookie Zahra." he said, looking down. He lifted his gaze right up to meet mine.
"How about this? We both hate the Pharaoh, why not team up? We can both get our revenge on him." Bakura said suddenly.
I glanced away. Should I do that? It seem like a good plan. And . . . I can't believe I'm saying this but, I feel connected to him. It's like our souls recognized each other. It felt . . . right to go with him and get my revenge on the danm Pharaoh.
"On one thing." I said, looking at him.
"We bring Kepi with us." it didn't feel right leaving her like this, in that slutty kind of life. She's my only real sister. After Emu and Layla's betrayal.
He grinned at that. "Sure, why not? She seems the fun type." he said, smiling. That smile did funny things to my heart.
"Then it's a deal." I said, getting up to get another drink for us.
"A toast. May the Pharaoh fall and we take over." I said, lifting the glass in the air.
We drank until the bottle was empty and laughed at our new life.
End Flash-Back
"Aww, not a half bad story." Zahra's host said, after Zahra told the old story.
"I liked it. Kinda sweet." Ryou said.
"Anyway, now that back together again, how do we take down the Pharaoh?" Zahra asked.
I shrugged. "Don't know. I usually make a plan on the spot."
"By the way, what's your name?" Zahra asked my host.
"Ryou." he said. Zahra nodded. "And this is Desirée." She said, pointing at her host.
"Nice to meet you." I said and she smiled.
"Hey, Zahra? Let's sleep. It's late." Desirée said and yawned.
"Alright. Time for the shuteye."
Me - Hi! ! *Runs from crazy people* OKAY REALLY?
I know, I know, no action there. I just wanted to write that bit of info of Zahra and Bakura meeting. And I got to say, it came put pretty good.
By the way, Zahra means Flower, Layla means Born at Night, Emu means Cat and Kepi means Tempest. I just wanted to say that.
Anyway, yes, Layla and Zahra are sisters. Where are the others? Where are Emu and Kepi? Will I ever watch the last season of Yu-Gi-Oh so I know what happens? Will I ever stop stalking Bakura?
Bakura - You really have to stop that.
Me - BAKURA! *Hugs Bakura*
Bakura - Review so she can let me go!
Me - REVIEW!

Our full list of active lawsuits and investigations can be found here.
Property owners who experienced problems with James Hardie fiber cement siding may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for repair costs and other damages. It has been alleged that the company sold defectively designed and manufactured exterior fiber cement siding that can fail prematurely. Because James Hardie allegedly released a defective product into the marketplace and falsely advertised the quality of its siding, consumers experiencing problems such as cracking and moisture invasion may have legal recourse.
It has been alleged that the siding fails prematurely, causing damage to underlying structures by allowing in moisture. Signs of deterioration may include:
In the most severe cases, the siding reportedly breaks and falls off the property.
In addition to allegations of product defects, plaintiffs also claim the life expectancy of the product is less than 50 years, despite the fact that James Hardie widely advertised a 50-year warranty for the siding. Customers have also alleged that that some of the siding's components are not protected by the warranty or are not covered by the entire 50-year period.
Other allegations posed by the lawsuit include:

Let's take a look at the bathroom. The bathroom is one of the most potentially dangerous rooms in the home; so proper baby bathroom safety is absolutely essential. To keep little hands, faces and toys out of the toilet, a quality toilet lock will be all that you need. Toilet locks from Mommy's Helper, KidCo and Safety 1st will keep children and your plumbing safe. Moving on to the bathtub, a bath spout guard will help protect baby during their bath. Bath thermometers or temperature sensors will ensure that baby's bath is never too hot or too cold – but just right. When the bath gets a little slippery, padded bath cushions, floor mats and bathtub grips will help prevent nasty slip and falls.
Once you get to the kitchen, you'll be faced with a whole new set of safety challenges. Help keep baby protected from the heat of the kitchen with stove guards such as those from Prince Lionheart. Stove guards form the perfect barrier between children and hot stovetops. Throw in some stove knob covers, oven lock and multi-functional appliance locks and you'll be well on your way to kitchen safety.
Heading over to the family room, it looks like you've got a bunch of furniture to baby proof. You might want to start with some padded corner guards from KidCo, KidKusion or Safety 1st to protect baby from those sharp furniture corners. Once, you've got your corners covered, edge guards will pad around the rest of those hard edges that baby could get hurt on. The KidKusion Edge Kushions, for example, feature soft foam padding that attach easily with double sided adhesive to tables, counters, cabinets, dressers and more. You'll feel safer, and baby will be safer, when you've got your edges and corners covered!
If you've got a little climber on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that all your furniture is secured. From the furniture in your child's room to the living room furniture, furniture brackets and anti-tip straps will keep all those large pieces from tipping.
For all those windows, window wedges, stops and guards will keep your little one safe from potential falls. Windows can be extremely dangerous, but the blinds can be just as dangerous for baby. You'll want to keep those blind cords out of reach of your child at all times. Blindwinders from KidCo and Cord Wind-Ups from Mommy's Helper will contain long blind cords and store them high above your child's reach.
As you move around the house, it's a good idea to discover which drawers and cabinets need to be off-limits. Let's keep those off-limit areas off-limits with cabinet and drawer safety locks and latches. KidCo's Adhesive Magnet Locks and Keys utilize magnetic technology to keep drawers and cabinets securely closed until parent's use the key. Whether you don't want baby pinching their fingers in the drawers or finding dangerous items in your cabinets, cabinet and drawer safety locks will help you keep your little ones out of trouble.
Of course, the doors are just as much of a safety concern. When you get to the front door, try out a door knob or door lever lock from KidCo, Mommy's Helper or Safety 1st. After all, we can't have baby wandering out of the house unattended.
A dominant safety concern that lingers throughout the entire home is electrical safety. As parents know, you've got to keep curious little children from inserting things into electrical outlets. It's best to cover up any unused electrical outlets with outlet caps or covers. You don't want baby getting the "shock" of their life; so make sure those electrical outlets are covered up.
It would be easier if child proofing ended with the house; however, it sure doesn't stop there. Baby's outdoor safety is just as essential. If you want to keep your child in the yard, set up boundaries with deck or driveway guards from KidKusion. If you're out-and-about, maximize child safety with child safety harnesses and child locators. With safety harnesses and child locators, you'll always have watch over your child. No matter what you need to make baby safe, we've got just the right products for you. When baby's safety is the priority, we'll help you through.

Stake Land Synopsis
America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin (Connor Paolo, "Gossip Girl") is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (Nick Damici) whose new prey are the undead.
Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America's heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path. Along the way they recruit fellow travelers, including a nun (Kelly McGillis) who is caught in a crisis of faith when her followers turn into ravenous beasts. This ragtag family unit cautiously moves north, avoiding major thoroughfares that have been seized by The Brethren, a fundamentalist militia headed by Jebedia Loven (Michael Cerveris) that interprets the plague as the Lord's work.
Director Jim Mickle first grabbed the attention of horror film fans with his zombie-rat thriller Mulberry Street, in which Damici also starred and served as co-writer. They have teamed up again to deliver an even darker and bloodier shocker. Drawing on the post-apocalyptic frenzy described by Richard Matheson (author of the novel I Am Legend) and George Romero, STAKE LAND is a road movie with fangs and a phantasmagoric journey.
The film also features horror movie icon Danielle Harris and actor Sean Nelson and was produced by indie horror legend Larry Fessenden (Glass Eye Pix).

Cassandra Sove moves to Juneau, Alaska where she meets the Sabren family. After meeting them, her life takes turns for the dangerous. When values of love, family and revenge collide, Cassandra must make choices that will alter her destiney, possible forever.
The night was silent and still. The young man walked on to the hill top and sat down, staring at the stars. The night was peaceful, too; not a cloud in the sky. He turned around as he heard someone aproach him. He relaxed when he realized who it was. If it was anyone but her, he thought, I'd tell them to go away. But he had always felt a connection to her, nothing romantic, of course. Their connection, perhaps, was because she was the one who turned him.
She sat down next to him. "What's the matter, Joel?" she asked.
"Nothing," he responded.
She sighed. "Joel, I've known you for near one hundred years. I know something is going on."
Now, it was Joel's turn to sigh. "I don't know, Elizabeth. It's like... I"m supposed to be somewhere, or... do something.... But I don't know."
Elizabeth paused before she answered him. "Do you think you're seeing your own?"
"I don't know. It's possible."
"What's possible?" A third voice joined the two.
"Star, go away," Elizabeth said.
"Now see that," Star said. "Is what I deem as an open invitation."
"Alaska," Joel said suddenly.
"No, Joel, we're in Michigan," Star said.
Elizabeth, however, understood. She stood up and said, "I'll go tell William."
Joel and Star followed. "Wait," Star said. "I still don't understand."
"We're moving to Alaska," Joel said.
"Alaska?! Why, it's so cold..."
"Oh, it's not like you can feel it," Elizabeth snapped.
"Besides," Joel said. "It's about time we moved on anyways."

[[folder:The Biker Mice]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/RobPaulsen (English), Creator/ToshihikoSeki (Japanese), Saul Alvar (Mexican Spanish)
->''"In this wild and wooly universe, there's only three things you can count on- your brains, your bros and your bikes!"''
Throttle is the tan one, a quiet and decisive natural leader who cares deeply for those under (and over) his command- even though he may be too manly (or mousely) to show it. He was groomed by Stoker, the creator and former leader of the Freedom Fighters, to take command- but something interrupted it, and he ended up in space with Vinnie and Modo. Curiously enough, he's the only one who's displayed the Martian skill of telepathy, and telepathic trickery as well. He was blinded in the Mars-Plutark war, and courtesy of Dr. Karbunkle now has semi-working replacement eyes that he needs his signature pair of sunglasses to see with.
Tropes associated with Throttle:
* CoolShades: He wears a pair of shades straight out of the 90s fashion mags.
** SunglassesAtNight: Because he needs them to see, he almost never takes them off.
* DeadpanSnarker: For example:
--> '''Vinnie:''' Yeah! Some pretty studly moves there!
--> '''Modo:''' Well, that's pretty nice of you to say, Vinnie.
--> '''Vinnie:''' Not you, bro. I was talking about ''me''!
--> '''Throttle:''' What a surprise.
* HandicappedBadass: His vision is severely impaired without his sunglasses, [[spoiler: thanks to Dr. Karbunkle.]]
* TheLeader: He tends to call the shots.
-> Voiced by: Ian Ziering (English), Creator/ShigeruNakahara (Japanese), Creator/JesusBarrero (Mexican Spanish)
He's the self-proclaimed baddest biker this side of ten solar systems, and he's almost right. Vinnie has a huge ego that was only outdone once in the whole series, but underneath his bluster lies a sweet, caring individual who would sacrifice anything for his bros and Charley. He gained his mask in the Mars-Plutark war, either by being blasted at or by a sadistic experiment by Dr. Karbunkle. Either way, his first love Harley (no relation to Charley) gave him a mask made out of flex-plate metal, which allows his face to move while still covering up his scars.
Tropes associated with Vinnie:
* BadassBandolier: Wears two green bandoliers, crossed over his chest in an X.
* BigEater: One View-Master frame Limburger looks at has Vinnie stuffing his face with hot dogs.
* BoisterousBruiser: Vinnie's major defining trait, after his massive ego.
--> '''Vinnie''': Yep, that's me! I'm the baddest motorcycle mamma-jamma in the universe!
--> '''Throttle''': Modest, too.
* ChivalrousPervert: Vinnie can hardly keep his mouth shut around a pretty woman, but he's also protective over the women in his life (Harley and Charley being the main examples).
* ExpressiveMask: The metal plate over his face doesn't keep him from having a decent range of facial expressions.
* HandsomeLech: Despite the flex-steel, he's quite handsome and doesn't mind taking advantage of it.
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:In the 2006 revival, his girlfriend Harley went through a FaceHeelTurn since the last time they met and she appears to get killed shortly after she comes to her senses.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Egotisical, boastful, and mildly perverted, but deep down he's a sweet-natured guy.
* LeeroyJenkins: Well, all three mice fit, but he's the worst of them.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: While he is commonly referred to as "Vinnie", his real name is Vincent.

->''"Like my grey-furred momma always used to say..."''
Modo is a GentleGiant through and through, until you anger him- in which case he will bring the UnstoppableRage like a fuzzy grey tornado. His mother imbued him with a philosophy about children, women and life in general that still guides him today, and he quotes her often. Out of the three Biker Mice, he sustained the most severe injuries- losing his right arm and left eye. Again, "courtesy" of Karbunkle he now has a [[ArtificialLimbs mechanical arm]] to replace his blown-to-bits one. Unfortunately for him, the arm wasn't really wanted, and Modo still has self-doubts about it to this day.
Tropes associated with Modo:
* ArmCannon: Modo has a retractable one on his mechanical arm.
* BerserkButton: Don't hit the ladies, the children, or God help you, his beloved bike. Or you will perish painfully.
** And don't even ''think'' about hurting his friends, or calling them (or him, for that matter) rats.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He may have a soft heart, but pissing him off can still be hazardous for your health.
* TheBigGuy: He is the toughest of the group, and the tallest at a staggering six feet nine inches.
* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch to cover the eye he lost to Karbunkle experimenting on him.
* FriendToAllChildren: Modo is extremely fond of children, especially his nephew Rimfire and niece Primer. This trait is used against him once by Limburger to break his self-esteem.
* HandicappedBadass: He is missing an eye and has a robotic arm.
* HeroicBSOD: "Modo Hangs It Up" has him visit a hospital where a boy is hurt as a result of a battle against Limburger. It takes a lot of fight out of Modo. [[spoiler: The boy, however, reveals he's really Marshall, Limburger's nephew, and really not hurt at all. In the follow-up fight, Marshall's got a Biker Mice pennant to cheer them on with.]]
* MommasBoy: He loves his mother very much and frequently quotes her advice.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In "Modo Hangs It Up". He gets better though.
* UnstoppableRage:
** You know how Modo's eye glows red when he's pissed off? Well, when you threaten his bike, or his bros, or, God help you, both, his ''entire body'' glows red (actually, that only happened once, but whatever) and he'll [[MegatonPunch sucker-punch you into freakin' Lake Michigan.]]
** He and his bros are mice. Not rats. Run away fast if you hear anyone calling them rats when Modo's around.
** Once in a ChristmasEpisode, given Limburger sunk to a new low by targeting the orphans the Biker Mice were with earlier (and taking out their orphanage), Modo's not pulling punches.

->''"Maybe you could stop by the parts store?"''
Charlene is a long-suffering woman, considering who she has daily upon her doorstep- either three rambunctious bikers who are experts at accidentally wrecking everything around them, or money-hungry Plutarkians who would like her to be out of their way permanently. Despite both of these, however, she's still alive and kicking, partially due to her own mechanical genius. She's responsible for fixing the Biker Mice's bikes, installing upgrades and treating their wounds. There is no overstating her value to the Biker Mice's cause; if she was not there to make an emergency fix or fashion a new weapon, the Biker Mice would be long dead by now. They know it too, which is why every time Charley declares that she's going along, she's vetoed by all three of the Mice. She still gets her shots in every once in a while, but not by the Biker Mice's choice.
Tropes associated with Charley:
* ActionGirl: While the Biker Mice often forbid her from doing so, she's kicked her fair share of butt.
* BoyishShortHair: Her hair is a lot shorter in the 2006 series.
* BrainyBrunette: She has brown hair and at least has more common sense than the Biker Mice.
* DamselInDistress: The second thing Charley does is get captured and then put in a giant trap so Grease Pit can blackmail the mice into going away. She then yells out "NO DON'T IT'S A TRAAAAAAP!" To her credit, she is painfully aware of this, and tries to avoid it while still being a useful friend to the Mice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most frequently makes remarks about the Biker Mice not being responsible and rushing into battle without a strategy.
* OnlySaneWoman: The Mice have hilariously huge egos. She doesn't.
* PunnyName: Her name is a play on the Harley Davidson motorcycle brand.
* SpyCatsuit: Sort of, [[spoiler: in "The Masked Motorcyclist", the episode where Charley is testing out an experimental bike while wearing a really sexy catsuit and a helmet that completely obscures her face. The Biker Mice have zero idea it's her until almost the end, when the bad guys shoot at her bike, and it crashes, with her subsequently removing her helmet to check for damage and revealing the sexy mechanic, much to the Mice's total surprise...and PLEASURE.]]
* TomboyishName: Her name sounds like "Charlie", which is usually a masculine name.
* WomenAreWiser: Considering the mice, that's not hard.
* WrenchWench: She repairs the mice's bikes.

->''"Thanks for the wheels, beautiful!"''
Stoker is the creator and main force behind the might of the Freedom Fighters. He is a legend amongst all Martians, and maybe even beyond that planet itself. However, age and a hard lifestyle forced him to slow down, although he resisted toning down his signature style of tail-whipping for a while. He is Throttle's mentor, Vinnie's idol (and occasional foil) and a dear friend to many Freedom Fighters.
In the 2006 revival, he attempts to retrieve his invention the Regenerator from Ronaldo Rump and the Catatonians so that he can build a new one and use it to end the drought on Mars.
Tropes associated with Stoker:
* AscendedExtra: He only appeared a handful of times in the original series, but is a major character in the revival.
* [[spoiler:{{Brainwashed}}: Karbunkle hypnotizes him into serving the Plutarkians, but he ends up coming to his senses.]]
* CoolOldGuy: He is implied to be older than Vinnie, Modo, and Throttle.
* JekyllAndHyde[=/=]HulkingOut: In the 2006 series, exposure to sunlight causes him to transform into a rat-like monster.
* TheKirk: Balances the differing personalities of Rimfire and Carbine.
* LaResistance: He is a member of the freedom fighters battling against the invading Plutarkian troops.
* LongLostRelative: The 2006 series reveals that he has a daughter named Spitfire, who was separated from him between the events of the 1993 series and the revival.
* [[spoiler:MindControlEyes: What a ''pretty'' shade of green!]]
* PapaWolf: In the 2006 series episode "Once Upon a Time on Earth", his rat form attacks Cataclysm when he sees him threaten his daughter Spitfire.

->''"Sorry to drop in on you like this, Uncle Modo."''
Rimfire is a sprightly, athletic young mouse--as said above, Modo's sister's child. Along with his sister Primer, Rimfire has fought in the Mars-Plutark war despite being only around 16 or 17 years old in human years. Like Modo, Rimfire is polite and gentle, as well as having a ninja-like talent for getting out of tight scrapes (and into tight scrapes: only one episode has him not being held captive by a BigBad).
Tropes associated with Rimfire:
* DistressedDude: Has been held captive quite a few times.
* LaResistance: Is a member of the freedom fighters.
* TheMcCoy: He lets his love for his uncle Modo cloud his rationality.
* SkunkStripe: He has an orange stripe on brown hair.

Carbine is the new leader of the Freedom Fighters, a former Army General. Unlike Stoker, she prefers a set of rules and disciplines, instead of the camraderie and mild chaos of Stoker's FF. Despite this, she is still a very competent leader, although her desire to stay on Mars has driven a wedge between her and her boyfriend Throttle. She nearly had him executed after he returned to Mars just after the Plutarkians seeded a tape of him and his bros supposedly aiding them in destroying Chicago, but they managed to hash it out before the Biker Mice were thrown into the Pit of Everlasting Doom (otherwise known as Spiky Pit of Spikes). She may come as a bit touchy at times, but it's only because she cares most about her planet's survival.
In the 2006 revival, she is revealed to be Stoker's niece.
Tropes associated with Carbine:
* AlliterativeName: Although her surname is [[FirstNameBasis rarely used]].
* ActionGirl: Accomplishes quite a lot of victories as a member of the freedom fighters.
* AscendedExtra: She only appears in a few episodes of the original series, but has a more important role in the 2006 revival.
* BadassLongcoat: In the 2006 series, she wears a long red coat.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: She got a scar on her face shortly after the Biker Mice originally left Mars, but she is still on their side for the most part.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She made it difficult for Throttle and the others to clear their names when she was convinced that they helped Limburger, but she and Throttle ended up patching things up and parted on better terms by the end of the episode featuring her. She also accepts that the Biker Mice like staying on Earth in the 2006 series.
* MissionControl: In the 2006 series, she gives Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo the orders they need to follow in their mission to find Stoker, retrieve the regenerator, and defeat the Catatonians.
* LaResistance: As noted, she runs it.
* RuggedScar: She has a scar to show that she suffered while trying to survive the war against the Plutarkians.

Vinnie's old girlfriend on Mars. She was the one who patched up his face by giving him the metal plate he wears. In the finale of the 2006 revival series, it turns out that she ended up disfigured while trying to evade the Plutarkian soldiers and sided with the Rats because she believed the Biker Mice abandoned her.
Tropes associated with Harley:
* BackForTheFinale: In the original 1993 series, she only appeared in the three-part finale "Once Upon a Time on Mars". The 2006 revival has her return in the final episode "Turf Wars".
* FaceHeelTurn: In the 2006 series, it is reveald that she sided with the Nomad Rats when she believed that the Biker Mice abandoned her.
* HeelRealization: While she intended to use the regenerator to make Olympus Mons erupt in "Turf Wars", she eventually sees the error of her ways after realizing how devastating that course of action really is.
* HeroicSacrifice: When the regenerator was in danger of going critical, she risked her life to get close enough to turn the device off and shortly after that was supposedly killed by some lava.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Even though she is supposedly killed after she stops the regenerator from going critical, her body is never seen and Charley and Modo even try to cheer up Vinnie by telling him it's possible she survived somehow.
* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: In the 2006 series, she wears a purple mask. The flashbacks that play during her VillainSong reveal that the mask is to hide the scars she sustained during the Plutarkian invasion.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: She eventually comes to her senses and rejoins the Biker Mice, [[spoiler:but she supposedly sacrifices her life to prevent her plan from causing irreparable damage to the already drought-ridden Mars.]]
* TragicVillain: She was once Vinnie's love interest, was disfigured while trying to flee from the Plutarkians, she sided with the Rats because she was convinced that the Biker Mice gave up on her, and [[spoiler:she supposedly dies after she sets things right.]] Sounds about right.
* VillainSong: "Hard to be Harley" in the 2006 series episode "Turf Wars", where she sings about what happened to her after Mace kidnapped her and why she's betrayed the Biker Mice.

->''"It's so hard to find good help these days."''
Lawrence Limburger, otherwise known as "Boss", "Mister Limboiger" and "Stinkface", is a well-spoken denizen of destruction and disaster. He is the epitomy of greed, with a hunger for power that would outdo most dictators. His most fervent want is to become the High Poobah of not only Earth, but Plutark as well, and if it weren't for those [[BigDamnHeroes stupid gerbils on bikes]] he'd have his wish by now. It's not for lack of trying that he's still a much-maligned minnow in the pool of power- it's that through a combination of incompetent goons, bad luck and not crossing one T that has him pulling his fins in frustration.
The 2006 series has the Catatonians and Ronaldo Rump replace him as the main antagonist, but he eventually makes an appearance where it is revealed that he was banished to Earth after the Plutarkians were defeated and that he and Karbunkle had become lackeys to the Pit Boss all this time. He ends up suffering another humiliating defeat at the Biker Mice's hands, but he does get one more chance to get even with the mice near the end of the series.
Tropes associated with Limburger:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Lends a lovely layer to Limburger's loquacious lambasting of his lackeys.
* AlliterativeName: His first, middle, and last names all begin with the letter L.
* BadBoss: Limburger has no respect for his underlings--consequently, they only serve him because he's rich.
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:In the 2006 revival, his final fate is to be turned into a non-anthropomorphic fish while still capable of speech.]]
* BigBad: He is the main antagonist of the original 1993 series.
* BigBadWannabe: He's demoted to this in the 2006 revival, as while he is still a threat to the Biker Mice, he appears in only a few episodes and his plans to overthrow the Pitt Boss and upstage Ronaldo Rump and the Catatonians fail miserably.
* CardCarryingVillain:
--> '''Limburger:''' "If my word was worth anything, I wouldn't be much of a villain, now would I?"
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is the CEO of Limburger Corporation, although by the looks of things, he's a low-level manager in the grand scheme of the Plutarkian society (perhaps because [[PunyEarthlings Earth's really not that important]]). He still has quotas to fill and expectations to meet, however. Wants to buy and then strip-mine ''the entire planet'' ([[RunningGag except Detroit]]). He doesn't seem to be limited to just buying up real estate however--he sometimes will just waltz in and take the generic resources he wants.
** The MegaCorp gives him the backing to do so. Offworld resources are barely if ever used.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently makes cutting remarks about his minions' incompetence as well as his disdain for them.
* DemotedToExtra: The Catatonians and Ronaldo Rump replace him as the main villain in the 2006 revival. As a result, he only appears in a handful of episodes and fails miserably in his attempts to upstage the Catatonians.
* {{Determinator}}: Limburger is very determined to get rid of the Biker Mice and he has no intention of giving up.
* EvilLaugh: Limburger has an especially ominous laugh.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Limburger is put off by Brie's crassness and Grease Pit's, well, greasiness.
** He's also embarrassed by the infamous [[CrossCulturalHandshake traditional greeting of his people]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7FlaE6bj2U for good reasons]].
** {{Subverted}} with the Loogie Brothers. They are two Plutarkians so smelly that even other Plutarkians (infamous for their smell of fish) can't take them... So he grabbed a gas mask and ''made them stink even worse'' to try and get the people of Chicago to run away.
* FatBastard: He is rather obese and is not a nice person at all.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts polite and sophisticated, but he still had a hand in bringing Mars to near devastation and shows absolutely no guilt whatsoever for all the lives he's ruined and the planets he's destroyed by stealing resources for Plutark.
* FishPerson: Like all Plutarkians, he is a fish alien.
* LargeAndInCharge: He is very big and calls the shots.
* LatexPerfection: Like all Plutarkians stationed on Earth, he wears a realistic mask to appear human. In fact, he wears it so often that one is likely to forget that he's really a fish alien ''disguised as'' a human.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Quite a lot of his dialogue consists of delivering wordy insults to the Biker Mice, his minions, or anyone else that has severely irked him.
* SurroundedByIdiots: A ''major'' source of humour. It even gets {{Lampshaded}} by the Biker Mice in the very first episode...
* TheStarscream: Limburger does not like taking orders from other people, so generally he will plot to overthrow his superiours such as Lord Camebert and Dominic T. Stilton, or The Pitt Boss and Ronaldo Rump in the 2006 series.

Karbunkle is a god-only-knows-what from nobody-knows-where, and he's almost completely nuts to boot. WordOfGod has it that Karbunkle's origins may be rooted in UsefulNotes/{{WWII}}, perhaps as a German scientist gone mad. As noted, Karbunkle experimented on the Biker Mice when they were captured, and he's responsible for their CursedWithAwesome cybernetic implants.
He returns in the revival, again serving Limburger, though he much later ends up assisting Ronaldo Rump and the Catatonians.
Tropes associated with Karbunkle:
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He doesn't look any different from a normal human being other than his large head and the black tube connected to it, but he's shown on Mars with Limburger and another Plutarkian named Dominic T. Stilton in the flashbacks of "Once Upon a Time on Mars". This is lampshaded in the 2006 episode "Once Upon a Time on Earth" when Dr. Catorkian asks Karbunkle if he is human and he replies with "Of course I am....I think."
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:He ends up being turned into a turtle by the end of the 2006 revival.]]
* CombatStilettos: A ''very'' RareMaleExample.
* DemotedToExtra: With the Catatonians introduced as the new antagonists of the 2006 revival, Karbunkle and his boss are reduced to becoming minor villains who only appear in a handful of episodes.
* EvilGenius: He is the brains of Limburger's minions.
* EvilRedhead: He has red hair and is definitely evil.
* ForScience: He loves his experiments.
* GogglesDoNothing: At least, not that we know of. And yet, he's never seen without them.
** At least he wears them down over his eyes instead of eternally up on his forehead, like most characters.
* LeanAndMean: He is very skinny and also completely depraved.
* MadScientist: Dr. Karbunkle is ''distilled'' batshit insane scientist.
* MysteriousPast: Nothing is known about where he comes from and why he serves Lawrence Limburger.

Limburger's rather dim-witted henchman who drips grease everywhere (hence the name). Limburger found him while searching for some big muscle to help him take over Mars... needless to say, Greasepit's resume was a little beefed up.
Tropes associated with Greasepit:
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He may appear to be your standard human thug at first glance, but "Once Upon a Time on Mars" reveals that the first time Limburger hired him was on Mars, which suggests that he may be a [[HumanAliens Human Alien]].
* BaldOfEvil: He has no hair.
* DemotedToExtra: As with Limburger and Karbunkle, the Catatonians becoming the main villains of the 2006 series left him becoming a minor character who only appears a handful of times.
* DumbMuscle: Not very bright and serves as the brawn of Limburger's team.
* MookLieutenant: He's apparently the field commander of the biker gangs that Limburger often sends after the Biker Mice-- but he really, ''really'' shouldn't be.
* NumberTwoForBrains: He usually makes a mess out of his boss' carefully laid plans, yet he is still employed by him.
* ThePigPen: As noted, his body literally oozes oil.
* ThrowTheDogABone: In the 2006 revival, [[spoiler: he ends up somehow becoming the new CEO of Rump Industries. It's a far better ending then [[BalefulPolymorph what happend to Limburger, Karbunkle and Brie]].]]
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Very rarely does his greasiness ever help him out.

* BalefulPolymorph: At the end of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", [[spoiler:the regenerator is used to turn him into a non-anthropomorphic fish that can still talk.]]
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Aside from his short stature, another way he differs from most Plutarkians is that he always pronounces his R's and L's as W's.
* FishPerson: As with all Plutarkians, he is a fish alien.
* MadEye: His right eye is yellow with a green swirl.
* LatexPerfection: Like Limburger and the other Plutarkians based on Earth, he wears a mask to appear human.
* TheNapoleon: Appropriately enough, Napoleon Brie is short and also has big ambitions, considering he intends to take over Limburger's operations in Chicago.
* PunnyName: His surname is Brie, a kind of cheese that is popular in France, while his first name refers to French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite his boss returning in the 2006 revival, Number One is completly absent in it.
* TheDragon: Serves as Napoleon Brie's right-hand man and is almost always at his side and leading Brie's goons whenever he shows up.
* Foil: Number One is pretty much everything that Grease Pitt isn't: Competant, smart, and treated with respect by his boss {And he's also actually paid for his work, unlike Grease Pitt}.
* PsychoForHire: Is under Brie's employment and has a bit too much fun doing his job, though he's more professional then most examples of this trope, and only turned against Brie when Limburger tricked him into thinking he was getting demoted.

The leader of the Plutarkian race and the person that Limburger answers to.
Tropes associated with Lord Camembert:
* BadBoss: He frequently yells at Limburger and forces him to do the traditional Plutarkian greeting even though Limburger doesn't like it.
* DemotedToExtra: While he wasn't exactly a main character in the 1993 series, he was a reoccurring minor antagonist who appeared in a decent amount of episodes and had plenty of screentime and interactions with Limburger. In the 2006 series he only shows up in 3 episodes, two of which are just voiceless cameos in flashbacks, and the one time he actually ''does'' get a speaking role, it turns out to not actually be him but instead a Catatonian Shapeshifter disguised as him.
* FatBastard: Like most Plutarkians, he is overweight and not a nice person at all.
* FishPerson: Like all other Plutarkians, he is a fish alien.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Being the leader of the Plutarkian race and Lawrence Limburger's superior, he's technically the most important threat to the Biker Mice, but he only appears in a few episodes.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: He had a mother-in-law until she was indirectly killed by Limburger in "Stone Broke". Camembert rewarded Limburger by giving him his funding back.
!![[color:red:Evil Eye Weevil]]
-> Voiced by: Jess Harnell
-> ''"How's my hair? Perfect! And I'm still in one piece... sorta."''
Evil Eye Weevil, a former stuntman who claims to be Music/ElvisPresley's alien twin brother is one of the recurring villains on Biker Mice. He's very egocentric, snobbish and abusive. He possesses a special weapon called the hostility ray; when a person gets struck by its red beam, he or she [[HatePlague becomes hostile toward other people]] - hence the name. When several people get hit by it, things can get quite nasty. Once, the hostility ray even made the Biker mice, normally close friends, yell at each other and almost start a fist fight. Luckily, the ray's effects wear off with time.
Evil Eye has two minions who are known as the Pukes of Hazzard, a pair of purple skinned muscular dwarves. They admire their master and do nothing but bask in his magnificence despite they often get abused by him. They do any menial task Evil Eye sets before them just for the privilege, including preparing his stunt bike to fixing his limbs when he breaks them - which happens so often that it's become a RunningGag.
Tropes associated with Evil Eye Weevil:
* BadBoss: Treats the Pukes of Hazzard like garbage.
* EyeBeams: The hostility ray.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's even more egocentric than Vinnie.
* {{Jerkass}}: To the point that even Limburger dislikes him.
* LeanAndMean: He is very skinny and quite obnoxious.
* MeaningfulName: His name is "Evil Eye" and his eye fires a hostility ray that makes people hostile to one another.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Evil Eye Weevil is a name that pretty much screams "not a pleasant person at all."

The Pulverizer is an evil cyborg (or robot) with a militaristic theme both in his appearance and speech. He frequently uses military jargon in his speech. It is implied that he was once in the armed forces but became a criminal. When he was summoned, Karbunkle mentioned that the Pulverizer had just completed his six year stinct. The Pulverizer has an over sized right hand which is also his power fist. This very powerful weapon allows him to [[MegatonPunch punch with outstanding power]] along with firing small bursts of energy.
The Pulverizer is a merciless, power-hungry and cruel bully and also a very competent leader. He's very cunning, not to mention fearless in front of his enemies. He is almost unstoppable when he has competent troops - this was seen in ''Cheese Cadets'', when [[spoiler: Limburger hired him EliteMooks after his own goons went on strike.]]
Tropes associated with the Pulverizer:
* AxCrazy: Aggressive and unstable villain who's not afraid to use physical violence.
* MegatonPunch: What he did to Greasepit after he was summoned.
* OhCrap: Gets this after he [[spoiler: pushes Throttle's BerserkButton.]] Doesn't exactly say 'oh crap' but has a very terrified expression on his face.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His only good trait is that he sincerly cares about his daughter in the 2006 series, to the point that he's unwilling to kill the Biker Mice when she runs right in his crossfire to save Modo.
* KarmaHoudini: He never had any real punishment in the original series and the same applies for his single appearance in the revival.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's pretty tall when compared to his lackeys.
* ShockAndAwe: His whip is electrified.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: His daughter basically looks like a female version of him.
* WhipItGood: His usual weapon is a whip.

-> Voiced by: Creator/ClancyBrown (most episodes)/Dorian Harewood ("Once Upon a Time on Earth, Part One")/James Avery (video game)
->''"They sent shapeshifters to do a soldier's job?"''
Cataclysm is the absolute definition of BigBad, both in role and size, although officially he is the second-in-command to Assistant Supreme Commander Hairball. He's larger than Modo, by several boot sizes, and his stooped-over stature and portruding fangs just add to the terrifying (but not truly ugly) exterior. Despite his alignment, Cataclysm isn't all bad - he still has a little inkling of love for his runt brother Hairball.
!!!Tropes associated with Cataclysm:
* BalefulPolymorph: In "Once Upon a Time on Earth", [[spoiler:he ends up turned into a white non-anthropomorphic mouse.]]
* BeardOfEvil: He has a goatee.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Ronaldo Rump. While he is technically the second-in-command to Commander Hairball, he's far more competant and is a much bigger threat then his idiotic brother could ever hope to be.
* CatsAreMean: He is a member of a race of cat-like aliens and is one of the major villains of the 2006 series.
* DragonInChief: He is technically Hannibal T. Hairball's second-in-command, but is obviously far more competent than him.
* EvilRedhead: He has red hair.
* GeniusBruiser: He is very strong and is at least smarter than his brother Hairball.
* LargeAndInCharge: He towers over the Biker Mice and tends to call the shots.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He is often bare-chested.

-> Voiced by: Rob Paulsen
->''"I vill be telling Mommy!"''
Cataclysm's runt brother, and emphasis on "runt". Hairball is Assistant Supreme Commander of Catatonia's invasion forces, and how he got there is a true mystery considering that he's missing a few brain cells.

* [[AliensOfLondon Aliens Of Russia]]: He speaks English with a Russian accent.
* AlliterativeName: His first and last names begin with H.
* BigBadWannabe: He is technically leader of the Catatonian invasion forces, but he's far too incompetent and dim-witted to get anything done without his brother's help.

* CatsAreMean: He is a member of a cat-like alien race and is one of the bad guys.
* DumbassHasAPoint: In "Driver's Ed", he reveals to know how the clutch works when the Biker Mice struggle to figure out how to drive a minivan. When asked how he knew, he simply states that he once oversaw the construction of a Catatonian vehicle that featured the use of a clutch.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: If the one time he threatens to tell his brother on her for destroying his parachute is anything to go by.
* MeaningfulName: Fittingly enough for his surname, Hannibal T. Hairball often coughs up hairballs.
* TheNapoleon: He is very short, but has big ambitions.
* VillainSong: He performs a duet with Dr. Catorkian called "Dig Deep" in "Turf Wars".

-> Voiced by: Jess Harnell
