Strange Freakin Request.

Heyyyy. I have an odd request. A few of you mentioned something about Hostess' "Tiger Tails" still being available. These seem to be much rarer than the Choco-Diles. If anyone has access, I'd love to get my hands on a few boxes for another upcoming Hostess article. Shoot me an e-mail if you've got the goods, and we'll work something out.

Also, here's a little thing I wrote for UGO a while back, though it was just published today. My mission was to choose my eleven most-wanted gadgets from movies, and in an attempt to be as honest as possible, I filled it up with Bathroom Buddies and almanacs. Click here to seeee it, baby, seeee it baby.

Matt, I miss the related article links that you used to have.

Someone has stolen my name…That faker above? He ain’t me. I’m the Paul that’s been here for months.

That said…what the heck is a Tiger Tail? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these…

Chestnuts roasted by The ORIGINAL Paul @ 02/03/2004 8:42 AM

I would love a light saber. I don’t want the almanac, though. It is from 1950-2000. I don’t think I can win much money betting on old games.

Great choices, Matt. BTW, I am designing a Proton Pack. Maybe it will be done in a couple of years.

A preliminary search of Yahoo! Canada brought up this page:

Willow Valley Middle School offers Tiger Tails among their Hostess products as a ‘government approved’ snack…right along with cookies n cream milkshakes and Twix bars…geez, no wonder kids are getting fatter.

I woulda added the amp that went to 11. But that’s cause I play guitar. Good top 11 though. How come you say the blog has taken off in recent weeks? Has the number of hits increased, or the number of posts?

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/03/2004 9:52 AM

Yeah, wasn’t speaking from a webmassa success standpoint, but rather the conversations found in the comments sections, which sometimes are going over 200 a piece. With a comparatively low number of crap comments, too! :)

If I could have a Johnny 5, I would be so freaking popular. It would be such a great chick magnet. I could point to a girl and make him go up to her and say, "Stephanie beautiful." Oh, and I guess I would have to hope her name was Stephanie.

I didn’t notice the high amount of comments, but the "quality" of comments is getting better. A lot of people are regulars now… and to top everything off the first poster didn’t say "FIRST POST WHOOOO" so we are moving in the right direction.

Is a user profile still in the works for the blog, or is that kinda on the back burner?

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/03/2004 10:33 AM

It’s not really on the back burner so much as me not having figured out how to get it done. I have every faith that it will get done, though. I have a larger project that involves coding coming up in a bit, and if I can’t figure it out by then, the person doing the coding surely can. And then he will bill me. :)

If my calculations are correct….J-5 should be merrily on his way.

I always wanted a speeder bike too. We used to pretend the two person swing on our swing set was one.

I think you’re all missing out on the critical element here- WHERE’S THE DAMN HOVER STUFF? Transformers: The Movie showed us jet-powered hoverboards by 2005… y’know, next year. And even without the bigass-robot-technology advance, Back to the Future 2 promised us that we’d have flying cars and skateboards by 2015. (Not to mention about 20 more Jaws movies, so they better get cracking on those.) What the shit?!? That’s only 11 years away; are we gonna be ready in time? ‘Cuz if I can’t throw the trash from my 34th birthday into Mr. Fusion, I’m gonna be pissed…

Chestnuts roasted by The Lucky One @ 02/03/2004 11:27 AM

I was supposed to be a different kind of year.

Chestnuts roasted by 1984 @ 02/03/2004 11:29 AM

Same here, ’84. God damned monkeys.

Chestnuts roasted by 2001 @ 02/03/2004 11:29 AM

Yeah well…the planet was supposed to explode for my birthday. You’re preaching to the choir.

Chestnuts roasted by 2000 @ 02/03/2004 11:30 AM

¿Hey!
Wtf?
I think I’m a little early huh?

Chestnuts roasted by 2028 @ 02/03/2004 11:36 AM

Little Brother had one of those hard plastic lightsabers. We were living on the left coast at the time and he got it at a store called Starbase Central. Before too long, I had taken it apart and figured out how it made its sound, and had it back together. It was a kind of a low-pitched whistle. whooo-oooo! I loved the old inflatable blade lightsabers we used to bap each other upside the head with. I always wanted the AutoBot Matrix. Or Crow T. Robot.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/03/2004 12:37 PM

The AutoBot Matrix was pretty, I’d want a little one as a necklace.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 02/03/2004 12:42 PM

Yes kingklash, I know exactly what you mean about having Crow T. Robot. I actually spent 3 years collecting all of the authentic parts for Tom Servo and have had him finished for about 5 years now. I have about half of the Crow parts so far.

Chestnuts roasted by alienmagic @ 02/03/2004 12:46 PM

does the larger coding project happen to involve re-instating the archives? I hope so.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/03/2004 1:27 PM

I heard of MST sites that help you with finding those hard-to-get Tupperware pieces for Crow. If any one comes thru my part of the state and wants to check out some haunted territory, (I’m looking in your direction, Duck) I can point them to a couple of places to start. One is even near a tourist attraction! Of course, you might want to keep your Proton-Accelerator out of sight, at first. Tee-hee, poltergeists are noisy!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/03/2004 1:33 PM

Those Ghostbuster figures look awesome, but they better make some of the Ghostbusters them selves and an Ecto-1 vehicle.
