Advent Calendar: December 10th & 11th!

More Advent Fun -- for December 10th, we've got everything from red creme-filled "Winter Oreos" to Santa Claus eating Oreos, plus a new friend for the cast of Playmobil. December 11th has a longer entry, covering the four new varieties of "Christmas Peeps," Mare's new skates, and an old McDonald's commercial where Mayor McCheese and the Hamburglar have a snowball fight. Kinda rushed, but for a good reason -- there's a Christmas article on deck that I've been waiting to write all month. I'm not sure how many of you will care about it; it's one of those "you had to be there" things. Then again, everything on this site is. Also: I'll be around for most of the weekend, expect some blogdates on the various snow/beer adventures and a look at some other crap I've picked up. The only way I could hate the paragraph I've just written more is if it was all one big sentence.

Everybody does it, every time…

Chestnuts roasted by eyeless @ 12/11/2003 8:07 PM

…mark their territory with "first post," that is.

Boy: A wise man once said: "There lies a dramatic difference between those who cannot and those who will not."

Mista: Who said that?

Boy: Spock.

Haaaaa. :)

Is it just me or is the McDonalds link broken?

Chestnuts roasted by Zombie Cop @ 12/11/2003 8:15 PM

It was, but it isn’t anymore.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 12/11/2003 8:17 PM

Mista Snowman is quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to XE. Ever.

I’ll be extremely pissed if he dies at the hands of Mare…you’ve been warned, Matt.

I don’t know why I find such enjoyment in reading about the adventures of Mista Snowman. Thank you Matt. I had been missing the Christmas Spirit until I read about poor poor Mista Snowman and his battle against the evil Mare. God bless you Matt. God bless you.

PS: We need more Skeletor articles…

Why is mare always wearing the other character’s clothes/acesories? I saw some red peeps and thought of you Matt, Wow! We’re thinking alike (is that a good thing or a bad thing?)I really like peeps snowmen, but I haven’t tried the others.

Mysterious boy has something up his sleeves…Better watch your back Mare!

Psst..hey mista snowman…i’ve got some firecrackers if you need some backup…heh heh heh… :fades into the shadows:

Great Job Matt,
Go Mista Snowman. You and mysterious boy need the stop Mare before the later, better gifts start coming.

Chestnuts roasted by Doogles @ 12/11/2003 9:41 PM

I’d also like to take the time to thank you, Matt, for bringing back my Christmas spirit.

Was the McDonald’s commercial supposed to not have sound or is my system jacked up?

Chestnuts roasted by kentdog @ 12/11/2003 9:46 PM

Something red that involves winter but not Christmas, eh?
The blood in the snow left there by Jack Frost after he’s bitten some guy’s arm off.
(hey, if you know me, i’ve always got something bloody on the brain)
The flames set ablaze by Penguin and Catwoman. "Burn baby, burn!"
That’s all I could come up with.

I need help. The advent calendar has been going for over a week but I’ve just now noticed that weird Santa head at the top of the pages, the flashing green eye blasts on the 11th’s entry helped draw my attention. I seem to have a faint recollection of owning one when I was real little but I don’t remember what it does. Anyone have any ideas?

Chestnuts roasted by Jason @ 12/11/2003 10:24 PM

I’d just like to point out that, technically, Christmas Tree Peeps are still based on living things. Just living things that were cut down, killed, decorated with shiny things, then woodchippered or burned. Or both.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 12/11/2003 11:49 PM

Okay Sean, now you’ve gotta pay…

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 12/11/2003 11:54 PM

Also wouldn’t the cookie Peeps be based on something not alive?

Chestnuts roasted by Spiffy McKracken @ 12/12/2003 3:16 AM

A few comments.

First, wouldn’t just plain ol’ white-filling oreo’s have been more fitting as "winter" oreos? White=snow, snow=winter, right? You’re right, what’s with the red filling…

Second, since they won’t use the word Christmas, maybe they should stop using "winter" too. After all, people in the more tropical states don’t technically celebrate winter. What if nabisco is offending them?

Chestnuts roasted by gerigrrl @ 12/12/2003 4:27 AM

Stupid Mare. Not only is she stealing everybody’s stuff, but she doesn’t even wear her skates with the fronts facing forward.

Chestnuts roasted by Thomas. @ 12/12/2003 4:31 AM

Id like to see her wear that helmet and mista snowmans top hat at the same time… Id like to see that… Id like to see her get her self out of this one… but she will. Why do I dissapoint myself.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr.T @ 12/12/2003 6:13 AM

i like peeps. especially the easter ones

Chestnuts roasted by Romo @ 12/12/2003 9:36 AM

Mista must prevail, you understand? I’ll be calling tha Guido should he not, and tha Guido is a big fan of Mista, capish?

Chestnuts roasted by Ghost of John Gotti @ 12/12/2003 9:57 AM

Just put the peeps in the microwave already.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/12/2003 11:27 AM

Those red oreos are weird, man. I definitely detected a lot of strange textures goin’ on. I’d say its a failed experiment, but then, I didn’t try to mold dolls out of the filling.
