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?

I don’t even have anything to say.I just want to try to be first. And why does the GI Joe figure (I had him, but no idea what his name is) open up into a Little Caesar’s ad?

yay first comment! (just wanted to post that) :P

Just thought I would take a shot at "first." I noticed that the GI Joe picture takes you to another shot of the Little Caesars ad.

Shall we share first?

Chestnuts roasted by Tony @ 07/25/2003 5:26 PM

Joe pic fixed, thanks. Tony, you almost made it. :’/

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 07/25/2003 5:31 PM

so I wasn’t first :( I’ll get over it *sniff* I’ll just comment on some of the pics. I was jealous cause my cousin had a pooch patrol doll and I didn’t. I always wanted a yum yum too. An old butterfinger ad too bad butterfinger dropped bart. Pogs were cool. I loved to watch beetlejuice.

I didn’t realzie how sad it would make people if I got in first. Of course, I still won’t share it. I just didn’t realize it.

Here’s another comment abou the pics: That picture of a grown man with the Hulk doll seems a little disturbing. Kind of fetish-like, really. And even the GoBot headquarters is lame. I’m glad they sodomized each other (not the GoBots, although who know about mister Hulk doll).

I don’t even know what that second post was supposed to say. I think the "not" at the end isn’t supposed to be there. Ah, the weekend.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 07/25/2003 5:47 PM

I was just joking i’m not hurt really.

The first picture in the third row – Splinter from the TMNT? That makes up for his absence in the Shrinky-Dinks article. Thanks, Matt!

As for the fifth row, second picture…what the hell is wrong with those kids? The one on the left looks vaguely brain-dead, and his buddy looks like he’s trying to pass a rhinocerous.

One of my earliest memories involves eating Orange Sunkist Fun Fruits fruit snacks and watching Alf. I think I was four years old.

Chestnuts roasted by Anita @ 07/25/2003 6:18 PM

that go bots big robot looks so dull and lifeless, no wonder they didnt compare to transformers

Chestnuts roasted by little james @ 07/25/2003 6:22 PM

So why are $8.00 pizzas $13.00 in Alaska and Hawaii?

I like the ironic TV Guide ad…the magazine is as wrinkly as The Golden Girls themselves. Got a whole Must See TV Karma thing going on there.

Chestnuts roasted by Garrison @ 07/25/2003 6:36 PM

i like them all

Chestnuts roasted by jeremysimsports @ 07/25/2003 6:43 PM

ohhh man why don’t they make those sunkist fruit snack anymore. they had to perfect texture. i want some NOW.

Chestnuts roasted by saggy vaggy @ 07/25/2003 7:17 PM

I’m not sure, but I think the kid on the left in #22 is imitating Dana/Gatekeeper from Ghostbusters.

Also, someone is eligible for bonus points for including a shot of Captain Planet getting buttered or golden showered (maybe both?) and a fairly genertic picture of Beetlejuice.

And on yet another topic, I didn’t know they made TV’s as big as the one in #3 in those days. I now feel retroactively jealous of that kid – SMB2 and a gigantic television, lucky prick!

Chestnuts roasted by JC @ 07/25/2003 7:59 PM

That should read "generic", by the way, not "genetic". Or "genertic", for that matter.

Chestnuts roasted by JC @ 07/25/2003 8:00 PM

Speaking of fruit snacks with odd textures…has anyone ever had something called "Haribo Build-A-Burger" gummi candy? It’s very weird – each piece is a soft chewy candy welded to a hard gummi shape…soft bun with hard lettuce gummi, soft cheese with hard tomato slice gummi and another soft bun with hard burger gummis. On sale now at Drug Fair.

Chestnuts roasted by Garrison @ 07/25/2003 8:04 PM

Beetlejuice! Dude, I used to LOVE that cartoon. Nick used to run re-runs of it every afternoon and I’d positively DIE if I missed it.

Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 07/25/2003 8:22 PM

Man, Go-Bots getting sodomized, now captain planet getting golden showers. Whats next? Man at Arms, Alf, and Brain Gremlin having a circle jerk? Maybe for Molten you could have Teela, The Baroness, and Rainbow bright.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 07/25/2003 8:22 PM

I’m a planeteer! You can be one too, ’cause saving our planet is the thing to do!

Chestnuts roasted by Wheeler @ 07/25/2003 9:15 PM

because alaska and hawaii are so damn far away in foreign countries and the exchange rate is terrible

I’m surprised how big gophers get.

Chestnuts roasted by fhjlfyl @ 07/25/2003 9:43 PM

another thing: if this is what Matt puts on his site imagine all the crap that he’s got on his hard drive and in his house.

Chestnuts roasted by aedghsg @ 07/25/2003 9:46 PM

You know Matt… the New Ninja Turtle playset is kinda cool… Have you checked it out?

Chestnuts roasted by djskeletorx @ 07/25/2003 10:48 PM

Captain Planet…tops on my list of the worst cartoons of all time. Crap animation, preachy plots, and a dorky hero with a mullet. AND two of the worst songs in all cartoondom in the opening and closing themes. "Captain Planet…he’s a hero…gonna take pollution down to zero."

Ted Turner can go fuck himself.
