There's this compilation with bizarre Beatles songs and I wanted to listen to the second CD. I saw the inlay with information about the first and the third CD. I thought 'WTF? That's a Dalek on the cover of the third CD!'
They took away the plunger and the exterminator arm but I also found a picture where they're still attached to the Dalek.

I watched Revelation of the Daleks this afternoon and it was one of the more bizarre Dalek episodes. But I will say this: Peri did not bother me too much and for once I was able to take Six a bit more seriously than usual.(Sorry Six/Peri fans!)
( possible Season 4 finale spoilers )I've just posted something in my journal that some of you might like to see.
Meet the newest member to the Hawkins family - Derrick!
I know they made them out of wood, and it involved a bicycle seat, but what about the rest of them? What are those bumpy things made up of? Light bulbs? Tennis balls? Mortar shell casings?
What did they use to make the nose? And what about the headpiece? Is that part of a barbecue grill?
I want to know because I want to make a Dalek that looks exactly like one on the old show, and is just as functional as the prop used on the show.
Are there any websites with a piece-by-piece dissection of the Dalek prop? I'd like to know what kind of light bulbs they use and what those neck ring things are made up of.
“There was this one game,” I said. “I remember it because it included actual speech – when the hero fell he let out this hilarious scream. Sometimes I would make him fall on purpose.”
My boyfriend arched his eyebrow and pitched his voice, “Another visitor. Stay awhile... staaaaay FOREVER!”
I gasped , startling the people at the next booth. “That’s it! That’s it!”
He nods. “It was called Impossible Mission.”
I bounced up and down in my seat. “I think it had daleks in it.”
My boyfriend frowned. “I don’t remember daleks – just a big ball of energy that would chase you around.”
“Oh.” I was clearly disappointed. “Daleks would have been cool.” I let it go thinking that he was probably right and that my memory had been playing tricks on me. After all, I played it at seven, he played it at seventeen.
This morning, I checked Wikipedia. From the entry:
Impossible Mission had only two types of enemies. The first were the robots. These had a cylindrical main body, much like R2D2 or a Dalek. Their defense was high voltage: their bodies were electrified, and some were able to use a short range death ray.
Any way you slice it (or rename it so as not to get sued), I say that’s a dalek.

I currently have 14 items I'm watching, only 4 of them are ponies. The other ten?
Daleks and assorted Dalek related goodies.
My little Adric and Rosan will not be the only Daleks in the village for long it looks like.....XD (and yes, I'm naming them after the Doctor's companions. Dalek 1, Dalek 2 just sounds so impersonal...)
This is how Daleks take over the world, with irrisistable cuteness!

Seen in this weeks copy of 'The Stage' the British theatre newspaper....

I want to see a Dalek doing Shakespeare now....
Sorry if this has ever been posted before...I'm new to this community (and fandom; season 4 was my first Who Season) and this is my first post...
Anyway, I was surfing the internet earlier for pictures of tea and coffee for some stock icons I'm wanting to make, and I found this:
I don't know why, but I found it highly hilarious. :) I can just see Daleks on caffeine...they'd probably emplode...at least in my mind's eye they would...
That would make a good fanfic...
Anyway, just thought I'd post that! Toodles!

We've only seen the first season of the show but that channel wasn't very popular.
Then they're going to start again airing the show on another channel, scifi, on 15 of september. But then I don't know how did we manage to get this on MTV.
They're promoting a new bands party. But why the Daleks? and Pink Daleks? Afro Daleks??

Mr. Kennedy is out of his element beside robots, dweebs and more at San Diego Comic-Con International. Log in to WWE.com throughout the week for exclusive videos -- provided the Daleks haven't overrun our planet first.

So many things delighted me about this story, first and foremost being that this guy was POSITIVE having his friend dress up like a Dalek and *kidnap his ex-girlfriend* was the best way to win her back.
Read about the incredible plot-that-couldn't here!
Journey’s End was so incredibly jam-packed full, and I’m at the point that I can only process one issue at a time. However, I’ve come to a satisfactory conclusion on one point. A vital part of the plot which, on first glance, makes no sense whatsoever.
Why can't the buggers do anything without saying it out loud?!
Exterminate... Commence disposal... Incinerate... Transport TARDIS to Crucible...
"A friend of a friend had been
an enthusiastic user of psychedelic drugs in
his younger years. He ended up dragged along
to a nightclub after imbibing acid and was
seriously not enjoying himself. In the throes
of a bad trip he cut his losses, ditched the
club to head home as quickly as possible.
The trip got worse and worse: at one point he was
chased into an alleyway by a horde of marauding
Daleks. Faced with a brick wall dead end, he
dropped to his knees and pleaded for his life,
but still the evil Daleks kept coming for him.
He arrived at his flat, soaked in sweat before
bolting the front door and closing the curtains.
So shaken up was he that he didn't leave his
flat until the following Monday morning when
he left for work, still traumatised. The Dalek
episode had seemed so real... must have been
bad acid.
Our hero's confusion cleared when he
picked up the local newspaper on his way to the
office and read the headlines... the shortcut
past the back of the town hall? Being trapped
in an alleyway by Daleks? Turned out he'd had
the misfortune to be running past the back of
the town hall just as the exhibits for that
weekend's Dr Who convention were being unloaded
from the back of a van." (PJM)"

Something has always bothered me about Daleks.
My brain likes to work at odd hours. Like when I am trying to sleep. Just as I am about to slip off to sleep a Dalek pops in my head. Don't ask. My wonderful little mind decided to ponder, ponder and ponder some more about Dalek Who......er Doctor Who. One can never tell anymore with Uncle Rusty shoving Daleks in anytime he can.
Not sure if it has been brought up yet. Something has been bugging me about our pepper pot friends. With the last two episodes coming soon I can only hope this is solved.This is why I love and yet hate SciFi! Timey Whimey stuff that always pops up and drives you mad.
Spoilers!!!!

Hope you enjoy!

"Dalek"
Pencil on paper.
4 x 6 inches, 2008.

Actually, this is a fairly typical scene at my house, except a dog instead of a cat. And the Dalek is wearing one of those plastic-paper Hawaiian flower bracelets around its, er, neck.
The question is, though: did they get the emphasis right? I don't think so. Daleks say "Ex-ter-mi-nate". However close together the final syllables, "min-ate" would place the emphasis wrong. They don't say "min".

I found a Dalek reference in one of the novels I've read this year. It's Fat by Rob Grant. If you can find it, it's pretty good, though this is the only DW thing in it.
( Not exactly safe for work text. :P )
You can read the CNN article here, and people comparing it to a Dalek in the comments at the bottom. There is also a picture included.
Earlier today, I checked my university email only to find the following email:
After the Great Tourist Wars heated up between Gallifrey and Skaro, the Daleks knew they were on the edge of being beaten, even with things at a standstill...so, they decided to pull out 'The Big Guns': A Brochure!
Hiring the consulting firm of Markelson/Finchlikker, they came up with THE sure-fire weapon in the stalemate they had reached in their battle for the Vacationing Tourist.
Included are the front & back covers, and some info you'll need, when traveling to the Wonder That Is Skaro!

Not to be outdone, the Dalek Council of Expansion and Tourism starts their own all-out war for the tourist dollar. This postcard symbolizes the Dalek credo of getting the point across to those who would vacation elsewhere!
(Wait until you see the brochure I'm whipping UP! :D)
