07/25/2003: Weekend Picture Gallery! =D =D

Together, we’ve made to another Friday. Who know what magic and intrigue await us for the upcoming week? Who? Ponder that, and look at a bunch of scratchy pictures. Have a nice weekend, but not so nice that it makes all future weekends appear sucky by comparison. Have a debatably awesome weekend. Here’s the pics, from various ads of the 80s, 90s AND TODAY. Who?

Almost forgot — someone e-mailed in asking if I’d swayed opinions on my previous “perfect pet,” the Siamese Fighting Fish. Tough one. Well, the hermit crabs are certainly more fun to watch, but they also require more attention to keep alive. I dunno though, I’d go with the crabs. I’ve been sent some pics of readers’ hermit crabs today, and god damn, some of them were the size of rats. Others weren’t so rat-sized, but there’s always hope ’cause the things never never ever stop growing. Yeah, I’d say crabs over fish, unless the fish is a sharky.






Here’s some weekend reading material from the X-E archives: Within the Woods movie review, a tribute to Clowny Crayons, and oh yeah — TMNT’s Sewer Playset. Enjoy. Who?

All you have to know about Captain Planet and how out of touch it was can be summed up in two words: Blue Mullet.

Did anyone ever notice that it was always the guy from Africa that got to say the Powers Combined line? Always bugged me that he never thought to get them out of caves, etc, by, oh, using the damn EARTH ring.

We’re the planeteers you can be one too, cuz saving our planets the thing to do… looting and polluting are not the way – heres what captain planet has to say THE POWER IS YOURS!!!!!"

sweet merciful crap, why do i remember that? sometimes when i come home drunk i try to go into the wrong building, and after muttering and cursing for 10 minutes i realize my keys dont work because i dont live there. But even when i’m drunk I remember the "planeteer rap" (as i like to call it) and why the hell did the indian kid have a monkey? i bet that monkey crapped in the other planeteers shoes all the time.

ohhhh pooch partrol. They sure are nifty. I have one still. Im surprised they haven’t shown up here before. I think pooch partrol and skeletor should have an adventure.

Maybe for Molten you could have Teela, The Baroness, and Rainbow bright. >>

I agree with Hellpop…this is an idea that would satisfy more than just Molten, but let’s replace Rainbow Bright…not with Jem though…with the Misfits…ooh, no wait…April O’Neal.

Don’t mean to double post…but I wanted to offer my perspective on the Go-Bots pic…I think the kid on the right is ridiculing the kid on the left for having Go-Bots toys in the first place and the kid on the left is rolling his eyes because he’s going to have to explain…again, his fucked up notion that Leader 1 kicks Optimus Prime’s ass any day…well, maybe not kicks…we all saw that clip, after all…

I would recommend Cheetarah (from Thundercats). Not that she’s all that hot, it’s just that she actually allowed us all to see her topless. That’s got to count for something.

Ahh, stuff I remember. Whatever happened to the old "Pizza, pizza" ad campaign? I still have my old Pooch Patrol, the grey one. He’s still a badass! Captain Planet…ugh. That’s all I’ll say about that! Beetlejuice the cartoon was wonderful. Gross and violent. Robotech are great, because they are technically related to Transformers. Any hardcore Transfan will know the connection. Can you name it? I always wanted but never got any M.A.S.K. figures. I’m sad about that. Just to let you all know, I’m probably going to get the Autobot and Decepticon logos tattooed on my shoulders in about a month. Matt, will you never reveal to us the other Photog art? Why do you tease us so, like the Baroness teased me through the TV set? MMM, Baroness. I have to go now.

I had a "Dynomite" magazine that had a story on how they made that comercial for the GoBot Base. After they screened the commercial, the kids kind of liked it, but none could remember what it was called.

Has anyone seen a movie called The Pit or something…It had these goblins in it and some kid in a wheel chair got tossed in this "pit" at the end and was eaten by "trolologs" I have only met 3 other people who have seen it. It was a bad movie that should be reviewed I think. Thats all.

By the way, just to let everyone know, Bob Hope is taking the big dirt nap. Thanks. Also, did anyone see The Venture Brothers on Adult Swim last night? I love that show.

I’m starting a Loser Photog Art Gallery. Please e-mail your losing photogs to hiroshi_doshi@hotmail.com :) thanks

My very first job was at Little Ceasar’s Pizza. DO NOT EVER EAT THERE AGAIN!!!!!!! Believe me; do not force me to relive traumatic memories by repeating them. Oh what the hell, just one: After a few hours, pre-prepared dough starts to go icky. Smells like beer. One day we had about 2 pounds of the junk, but instead of throwing it away, we crafted a life-sized dough baby, with olives for eyes and a tomato slice smile. After we baked it, we slashed open it stomach and had peppers mixed with tomato sauce spilling out. (Very realistic baby guts)We put a huge knife into it’s head, spashed tomato sauce all over the walls and basically spent about two hours on the clock creating a grisly baby murder scene. Good fun. That’s not why you shouldn’t eat there, it’s just not a story that you often have an excuse to tell.
If that screencap means there’s an episode of the greatest movie spin off cartoon of all time available for review than I am happy as a clam. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Remember the one with Edgar Allen Poe?

Hey squee, I too did time as a Little Caesar’s employee. My tenure with them lasted about 3 days. They hired me as a delivery driver, then tried to teach me how to make pizzas. When I refused, they grudgingly let me while away my time by folding boxes.

My breaking point came when I was sent to deliver 14 pizzas to the Yankees training facility here in Tampa (not to the Yankees, but to one of their minor league teams). I had to make 3 trips back and forth from my car in the parking lot, down a long hall to the elevator, then down another long hall to the room they were in, and those cheap pricks tipped me $5.

The only Little Caesar’s left in town that I know of is inside a K-Mart. Oddly fitting.

Bansheex, do you mean Jetfire (Skyfire, as per toy)? THAT was one badass toy. Even if you lost his cool red plastic "clothes" he was hot stuff. Really good cartoon; probably wouldn’t have woke up for high school if weren’t playing on Cartoon Network all those years ago in the early morn. Don’t see what all the fuss is over Gundam when we got Robotech and Voltron

Matt what exactly IS that cumming all over Cap. Planet?

Ghosted by Krappy Kat @ 07/29/2003 8:06 AM EDT

Give that Krappy Kat a prize! Jet/Skyfire is the connection. I wish I had known that they were playing Robotech early in the morning. I probably would have gotten up then. Anyway, I think that the evil Captain Planet, Captain Pollution (ugh) is giving that mullet-wearing freak what for. I never get to say "what for" anymore.

IS little cesears still in business?

Ghosted by Dannyjoe @ 07/31/2003 1:02 AM EDT

Ranch Fritos were my favorite… I miss them so.
Little Ceasars is in business as much as K-Mart is. The select few K-Marts left in this state ALL have little Ceasars Pizza in them. Some more operational than others. I walked into a K-mart a few weeks ago and found a desolate corner little ceasars stand. It resembled a run down bio lab complete with cash register and oven. With a fully stocked coupon stand filled with ancient buy-one-get-one-free coupons in front, it kinda gave me the creeps. i wish i had my camera, it reminded me of something out of ‘The Comet’complete with the still lit neon sign… well slightly lit anway.

I went to my local k-mart and sure enough they had a little caesars…. but i ordered a pizza to only find out they had NO CRAZY BREAD!!!! Plus they just microwave the same dollar store pizza that most skating rinks give you. I need a PIZZA PIZZA fix!

Ghosted by Dannyjoe @ 08/01/2003 12:19 PM EDT

Yeah, we got to see Cheetarah naked, but she had no nips…that’s just weird…I like my women with nips…that’s why I never got into mannequin love…but wait, some have nips now…I gotta go to the mall…
