The Grim Rapper ushers in the Halloween season.

It's October 1st! Halloween season has officially begun, and to celebrate, I've taken the advice of several readers who urged me to check out the GRIM RAPPER, a singing, animated, hip hoppy Halloween tribute to the man who steal y'all souls yo. This baby's bad news, but I love it anyway. Fifteen bucks is all it takes to make a mockery out of grim reapers and all that they stand for, so if you liked it when Bill & Ted did that, you'll soon propose to the Grim Rapper and try to do naughty wet things with it.

I feel the same way. The temperature dropped overnight here, so between Sep. 31 and Oct. 1 it became Halloween season!

To make it even better, my mom sent me a Halloween care package which I got today! It cost her $100 to ship to China. God-Bless her. Now I can decorate my room and pig out on candy. Without it I would have been stuck in a Halloweenless country and been very depressed.

Mars, that is hilarious! But I guess it would grow old quick after the 500th time. ;)

Matt, great job on the countdown. I’m enjoying all the articles and that picture of Tim Curry from the Worst Witch cracks me up every friggin time I see it.

"Unless he does a jump to the left, a step to the right, and lots of pelvic thrusts with his hands on his hips and he knees in tight, I ain’t buyin’ it."

Preach it, sister.

Happy Birthday, Steve Brandon! I’ll be 30 in a few months, myself. I told myself I wouldn’t cry… Sniff. I don’t have an opinion that’s worth anything anymore. That sucks! And hey, speaking of never seeing anything, I’ve never seen It’s A Wonderful Life, so don’t think not seeing Logan’s Run is that bad.

Awesome, Abraxas! What a cool mom you have.

So, I’m sitting here, reading about the crazy-like-a-fox Grim Rapper, and what comes on the 80′s music station I’m listening to? Ghostbusters by none other than Ray Parker, Jr. I also happened to have Bob, the garter snake, warming himself in my shirt collar, so freaky all around.
Yes, I’m female, married and actually have spawned. Scary thought, huh?

Oh, yeah. It says at the top of the page that Matt’s commercial info is in the bloggie here somewhere. Did I miss it?

Trajeal, I believe it refers to http://x-entertainment.com/updates/entries/archives/00000489.html">this entry from a few days ago (Snakeman). Matt mentioned that he’s been too sick to get any specific air times.

Hey, Steve, Sunday is my 30th birthday, so I feel you. I think this likely makes us among the oldest people hanging out here at the X-E blog.

I’ve always taken a weird pride in the fact that my birthday is exactly 4 weeks before Halloween.

The Grim Rapper is still a few steps behind the oddly green-skinned singing James Brown doll on my personal scale of Awfulness.

October birthday here too! I turn 22 on the 20th!

Chestnuts roasted by TB Tabby @ 10/02/2004 4:27 PM

To those of you tuning in late, my B-Day is Nov. 1. So, I’m among those with a bit of a Hallowe’en thing goin’ on when I get my cake. 35 this time around! Woo-hoo! I’m old!

You know, I just noticed that the animated pic of that thing rapping synchs up perfectly with Fatboy Slim’s Brimful of Asha. Nopt only does the reaper rap, but he spins progressive house. What won’t grim do next?

I just saw a commercial today for a toy called Robosapien. It looked kinda cool, has anyone else seen the commercial?
I could see him battling super articulate spiderman in the near future..

Ugh. Those "Freedom Tower" silver coins are the tackiest, tasteless things I’ve ever seen. I think I was watching Comedy Central and thought it was a joke at first.

Yeah, yesterday the temperature just DROPPED. It went from being warm-ish early fall weather to full-on Halloween weather. I effin’ love that.

There’s a book I’m starting sometime this week called "Death Makes a Holiday". It’s all about the origins of Halloween as a holiday. I’ve had it for a couple of months, but I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to read it.

We just got him today, thanks to the CVS price tag, we knew where to go!

He’s smaller than we thought, but just as cute. He’s a good dancer.

Whoever said to bling him up with vending machine bling is smart. I think we will have to do this. His current necklace is just not G enough.

Once, there was this Christmas tree that looked like a lovechild of Treebeard and Oscar the Grouch that sung Jingle Bell Rock. It sounded drunk when low on batteries. Makes me think that a song called Crack Your Mind involved one of those from either Lhasa or Vientiane.

You got that at CVS didnt you? Stop over at the CVS in roselle NJ and ill hook you up with a discount.

Chestnuts roasted by Cheesegod @ 10/03/2004 9:02 PM

Ack!!! There’s no CVS where I live (Oklahoma), and I can’t find the Grim Rapper ANYWHERE! I need it for a friend for Halloween. No, seriously…we, uh, have some rap jokes. And some grim reaper jokes.

Trust me, it would be perfect. Just tell me where to find the darn thing!
