X-Entertainment's Christmas Season & Advent Calendar, 2008.

11/21/2004: My Very Special Major Award.

Yeah, yeah, I’m alive, and working on that Macy’s Review. It’s long, it’ll take a while. Meantime, get a load of this here that. Last night, as has been tradition since I was a child, we hit this Christmas fair at a local church. There’s never anything good there, but I have to go. Tradition, see. They’ve been hocking the same gross cupcakes since before I was confirmed, and their white elephant table (like a yard sale of donated crap) is always out of the good stuff by the time I get there, but whatever, if I can kill an hour in God’s house watching all the kids beg their parents to buy them that one bunny from the pet table that’s always present for no apparent reason, that’s good enough for me.

The biggest aspect of the fair? Raffles. They get all of the neighborhood folk and schools to donate various baskets full of gifts, toys, doodads and whatnot, and all visitors find themselves sucked into buying multiple tickets for them. The larger raffles were for 400 dollar TRU gift certificates, a six foot stocking packed with toys and games, DVD/VCR/TV combos, game systems and so on. The rest of the raffles weren’t crappy, either — I had my eye on a wicker basket full of really strange DVDs that I couldn’t believe made their way into the place I usually see babies baptized at, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I wanted a whole lot of stuff, and I bought a whole lot of tickets.

No, I mean, A LOT of tickets. To put things into perspective, I found myself to be such a compulsive gambler that, even after casinos in Atlantic City were throwing hundreds of comp dollars, free rooms and meals and all that other shit my way, I couldn’t bring myself to go back in fear of what I’d do to my bank account. I’m really, really bad with this kind of stuff, and the amount of raffle tickets I bought last night is too embarrassingly high to admit. Point is, I totally should’ve won everything I went in on. But there was one little catch…

The especially large prizes were raffled off singularly, and no, I didn’t win any of those despite having more tickets in those jars with my name on them that the total sum of tickets without my name on them. The smaller baskets, which were still generally filled with awesome stuff and very, very numerous, were raffled off in groups. So, like that basket full of DVDs I wanted? That was one of five baskets in “Group U.” At the end of the night, they pull five names out of the “Group U” coffee can, and the prizes are assigned in accordance with whomever they pick first. It’s kind of a crapshoot — your chances of winning something are in theory increased, but your chances of winning what you’re actually trying for are criminally decreased. Still, with the amount I spent, I just wanted to win something, anything.

And, I did. Since you write your name on phone number on each ticket you enter, there’s no reason to stick around for the five-hour drawing ceremony at night. We headed home, and sure enough, I get a call an hour or so later. “Hello, is this Matt? Your name was drawn for basket ‘U2.’ Please pick it up tonight if possible.” Obviously, we zoomed back over there salivating at the opportunity to fetch this esteemed major award. I couldn’t remember the basket titles, of course, and had no idea what wonderful gifts “U2″ would bring. But it was a prize. My prize.

Click “more” to see the contents of Church Christmas Fair Raffle Prize Basket #U2.

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.

“U2″ was easily the most laughable raffle prize of the bunch. I was embarrassed just carrying the thing out of the church. I still can’t believe someone put this hideous basket together and thought there might be a person on the planet, much less in our city, who would get a kick out of it. Don’t let the brouhaha and pretty ribbons fool you — this is complete and utter crap. A breakdown:

Two plastic coffee cups. Stains indicate: two plastic used coffee cups.

A box of various cocoa mixes. Ah! Now the used coffee cups make sense. They’re cocoa cups! Yahoo!

Even the bargain bin won’t touch these books. “Cosbyology?” What kind of a sick joke is this? Cocoa, plastic cups and Cosbyology? The other books are similarly obsolete and/or completely worthless, but as a concession, they were sure to add in a “Smile! God Loves You!” bookmark.

Believe what you hear about organized religion, folks.

Pretty crappy prize, but…
I TOTALLY have that ‘Do Fish Drink Water’ book! It’s pretty neat. Bought it from the bargain bin.

im in the fist 10 comments? amazing. well x-mas IS coming, can you say "re-gift??"

Man, what a sucky basket. The John Grisham book is not too bad though. Haven’t read that one, but I’ve read some of his early books and they were ok, especially the Firm. Other than that, I think you got hosed. Raffles are just a way to consume all your money so that you think that you have a chance of winning something, because you know, winning something is better than nothing at all but in your case Matt, I think I would rather have won nothing at all.

The John Grisham book isn’t total crap. The exception to that is if you are anything other than an old lady. I work in a library and I see his books circulate throught the retired soccer-mom book clubs constantly

I’d rather my basket be totally without merit than with some minute semblance of merit, and refuse to ever open these books in fear of finding something remotely interesting.

It Just Hit me!!! The idea here, is to become a member of a cocoa-sipping old ladies book club. You have two mugs in case you leave your first at the hair dresser, and the first three required readings. You can even share cocoa with your fellow bookies!

Drop the lights, prepare some cocoa processed by the people who make butter in slightly used plastic cups (any lipstick stains?), wax eloquently with excerpts from Cosby’s book… Voila! Guaranteed celibacy!

Hmmm… a basket of cups, cocoa, and Cosby… that sir, is pure GOLD!!!
Ok… Ok… it’s pretty brutal, but I just wanted to cheer you up! LOL

Hey now, it’s all in God’s plan! ::stiffled laughter:: Who am I kidding? And it’s Land ) Lakes Cocoa… not even the GOOD stuff!

Coulda been worse…you coulda ended up with another copy of the Treehouse Trolls video.

Cosbyology is good for one of two things. Either do the obvious thing by having toys act out his whimsical essays, or turn your home/site into a Cosbyology center and become tax free in the name of our true TV father.

[Cliff picks up something strange from Theo's desk and stares at it]
Theo: I don’t know what it is Dad, but I can’t throw it away until I find out.

Wow, I thought Cosbytology was at least a DVD, but I was wrong. That sucks especially if your like me and reading a novel is the last on your list of stuff to do. I was wondering if you’ve ever (or ever will) do a article on those old (well mid-late 90s) Coca-Cola Holiday commercials that always told me it was the start of the holiday. They stopped playing em, ultimatly putting an end to my holiday joy, much like the absense of Marc Summers Halloween magic show special put an end to halloween for me. Aw man

Man what a load of crap. And not even fun crap, terrible terrible crap. Making you drive back for that garbage was an insult in the name of God. That’s like getting a swirlie from a priest.

Bummer dude, especially if the number of raffle tickets bought was so embarrassingly high.

Sorry, should have typed "Captain Power-like" above. Had Captain Power been a hit, the technology would have evolved through various toy competitors to the current Batman version before now anyway.

The Cos just wants you to read his book…and buy lot’s of Jello Puddin Pops AND buy "Ghost Dad" on DVD,VHS and Beta.

it is remarkable how bill cosby ended up in so many bad movies (i’m not counting Himself because that’s a stand up routine). Speaking of which, that new Fat Albert movie I saw a commercial for the other day doesn’t look too promising but that remains to be seen. Bill does make a cameo in the movie so perhaps the movie is cursed….?

I like pudding…and Ghost Dad is the best movie I’ve seen since Leonard Part 6.

Okay, so maybe this makes me a complete nerd but I sorta want to read the "Do Fish Drink Water" book.

When I was a kid and was dragged to those "white elephant" rummage sales in our neighborhood, I was always severely disappointed that no actual white elephants were to be found there.

I’d rather my basket be totally without merit than with some minute semblance of merit, and refuse to ever open these books in fear of finding something remotely interesting.

Maybe you could re-gift the books you think might be interesting to someone you know doesn’t want them, then have him/her re-re-gift the books back to you. Thay way, they will no longer be part of the basket. They’d be separate gifts that someone else gave you. Then you can read them without the fear that they will be "remotely interesting". Then, finally, you cen tell us whether or not fish drink water, so everyone’s happy, except the person you re-gifted to.

Damn matt got me all excited for a good review of a bunch of odds and ends crap, but turned out to be just plain old CRAP….You should try selling the shit on ebay and claim super rare to get some raffle money back…heck you will need it for next year right

I’d send that basket straight back to the church. Tell them that God told you to do it.

The John Grisham book isn’t that bad. I like his stuff though. I still really hate Cosby and I would’ve taken that book out before I left the church and maybe held my own raffle for it. Same for everything else in the basket actually, see if you could’ve made some money back.

HA HA! You got a lame prize!
What am I saying? People in my family gave me odd or lame gifts like that over the years.
For some reason I always get those soap and perfume gifts.

Ok, I’ll take the initiative and answer the question. Freshwater fish do not drink water because they absorb it, seawater fish do drink water and then use their gills to filter out the salt. Also noteworthy is the fact that both types of fish are very fond of Raspberry cocoa

My eight-year-old cousin once won a TV/VCR combo at his church. I was even there last Halloween,and they were raffling off new PCs and stuff.

Haha! I feel sorry for you Matt. That basket looks pretty damn awful except for the cocoa.

Anyone know of any good churches to join to get free crap, or at least good raffle odds?

And curse whoever mentioned Pudding Pops. I’ve been to every store in my area since they came out again, and nobody has them. I filled out comment cards asking the, to stock them, but NO. I evem talked to a manager and was assured he’d look into it. And the pain just grows everyday.

Everytime I see the title "My Major Award!" it gives me giggles. Hey, at least you didn’t get a fishnet-stockinged leg for a table lamp. Unless you would have liked that.

I think that basket o’ crap is a sign from God that you should donate it to the thrift store. While you’re there, maybe you could find something actually worth the money you spent on raffle tickets. Like - oh, I don’t know - an old man’s tweed coat 9donated after his death, natch) w/ a $100 bill sewn into the lining.

Also, the person who donated this basket has obviously regifted it her/himself. I mean, do people who regularly watch The Cosby Show read John Grisham? I mean, I’m sure some do, but I don’t think it’s assumed. Suspense thriller/laywer fiction, essays from the Pudding Pop King(klash - just kidding, don’t hurt me!), and kooky questions answered by the Xerox Man… it just doens’t make sense. Hey, maybe you could try returning the cocoa and books to Walmart to see if they’ll give you a credit. then you could actually buy something you want (like Shrek hands or one of those Fur Real cats to freak your own animals out).

Are you serious, Kay? I bet Matt would shit himself if he won a fishnet stockinged leg in a raffle. Especially if it was frageelay.

I think Kingklash has been taken over by Dr. Mindbender. [knock, knock], you in there, dude?

Cosby may not make good movies, but his TV shows, stand-up performances, and books are undeniably good. Plus you go cocoa. All that alone are worth the trip back. The cups, though, I would be concerned about if they’re used. No opinion on the other two books.

Well, at least you got the cocoa, if nothing else. You’re better than the 200 or so folks in your parish who didn’t win. Donate or give the books away and toss the cups or find another use for them. I can heartily say that the cocoa is good, as I get it all the time down here in South Jersey on sale - the mint is wonderful, like drinking a peppermint patty.

Okay, this has nothing to do with this entry…this is in reference to your 2004 vending machine extravaganza. I wanted to post the comment there, but I can’t comment to archived entries, apparently. Which sucks, as I don’t get to come here as often as I’d like. So because I don’t get to read the articles when they come out, I can’t add my two cents when I do read them? Bummer. But it’s okay, I still love you. Anyway, here’s what I was going to say:

OH MY GOD, The Chicken Machine. This is why I am head over heels completely in love with you, Matt. You bring back good memories from my childhood.

I had TOTALLY forgotten about the good ol’ chicken. I don’t even remember where the one I often got stuff from was, but I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing in the whole world. Like someone else mentioned, mine had super special GOLD EGGS and if you got one of those, you got something cooler than the usual glorified plastic crap. I’ve no idea what, though. But as a child, it was awesome, even if it was crap.

Thank you thank you thank you…for this site and your articles and just for being the coolest person on the planet. I heart you.

The Cosby book made me think of that scene from The Simpsons:
"Kids today listen to the rap music which gives them brain damage with all the hippin’ and the hoppin’ and the bippin’ and the boppin! So, they don’t know what the jazz…is all about! See, the jazz is like jello pudding…no, more like Kodak film. No, the jazz is like the New Coke…it’ll be around forever! Heh heh heh…"

I don’t get why anyone buys cocoa mix when it’s so easy to make real cocoa. And the real stuff tastes a thousand times better.

A recipe:
3/4 milk warmed, but not boiled
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

The Fat Albert movie will bomb…..Just saw the second episode of Tom Goes to the Mayor. I’m not really sure what to think of that show. It has some funny parts but not laugh out loud hilariousness. We’ll see what happens

I feel a bit ignorant, but what exactly does a "white elephant sale" mean? I assume it means there’s a big white table, but that sounds too obvious to be the answer…

Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice Giant Ape Juice

Well the fish-sleeping book is trivia…and the cocoa mixes look yummy. Everything else? Leave for grab-bag gifts.

You would be better spent playing the Texas lotto, giving some of your winnings to church (so you don’t burn in Hell), and then going on a coke binge.

But if it weren’t for that "WTF" book, I’d say the people who put that basket together oughta be shot. Used coffeee cups? Ha! What were they thinkin! Although, I could probably find a use for the cocoa mix. And seeing as I don’t have coffee cups, which are kind of needed inorder drink cocoa, I could probably use those too. But still, the people who put that basket together oughta shot!

Nate-Hey! I had to come up with 500 baskets! Ya think it was easy doin that!? I did what I fuckin’ could! I’m takin ur ass 2 court!

As for you, Matt! You should just be fucking glad you won something from God! Ur burnin in Hell for all eternity!

In fact, ur all goin 2 Hell 4 readin’ X-E! It’s the devil’s site! Matt’s the 666 I tell you!

Anyone ever want to know how to make homemade White Chocolate Cocoa, let me know. Mmmm-mmmm… for someone else. I hate white chocolate.

I like the way the Cos himself looks utterly uninterested and embarrassed to be on the cover of this book. However, he does get points for the Uncle Remus-esque touch with the bird on his shoulder.
At least the cocoa justifies your millions of dollars spent…

Was it the Holy Child fair? I went to that once as a kid and bought a Madballs pillow. Still got it.

Frig Cosbyology. I’ll take the cocoa packs, but not the used cups. I would have wanted a DVD basket. I like movies. I like buying movies. I work in a video store–it makes sense!!!

My boyfriend won almost $500 in a raffle at his church. He made it to the final round of the 50/50. You should have seen the consolation prizes given out each round to a "lucky loser." Our talbe laughed at the prizes, which were pretty much dollar store items. I work near a dollar store. I’ve seen these items before. Not worth the $100 raffle price.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Cos’s "cameo" of sorts on the Smurfs Lost episode. It’s messed up, really. He’s groovin’ in his sweater, and he sticks his tounge out–it’s blue!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys have probably seen this, but Matt, this would be good to review.

Side note–my co-worker Chris and I were discussing this link last Monday, and he mentioned "Ghost Dad." He kept rambling about the movie, citing words like "deep" and "cinematic masterpiece." He better not deny this, b/c he said it. Did I mention work wasn’t busy?

I am new to XE and it rocks! I spent all weekend looking at the archives. Some of the time was spent in warm nostalgia, but the rest of the time I was laughing my head off like a maniac!

Matt, you have made another fan. Thanks for your hard work and for posting stuff that warms our hearts, if are funny bones aren’t tickled to death first!

Cosby sure looks tired in that picture. Perhaps he is fatigued by the torments of the demonbird.

AAAHHH! Giant Ape Juice! GIANT APE JUICE IN MY EYE! Just had a busy weekend down here where Tornado Alley crosses the Bible Belt. Had a Family Obligation to go to Saturday afternoon. And for Today, I am here keeping the store open whilst Mama goes to Will Rodgers International with my brother-in-law and my nephews because my Sister is coming in from Iraq for two weeks just in time for Thanksgiving! Woo-hoo! I’m so excited, I culd prob’ly drink whole cases of Jones’ Holiday Sodas and not even notice. But to keep occupied, and keep from having my head a-splode, I’ll try to answer Mara’s question. "White Elephant" means an item no one knows what to do with. In the ancient time of the Far East, if you angered the king, but not enough for a swift clobberin’, he would give you a white elephant. A rare animal indeed, but the upkeep is killer. As a Royal Gift, you couldn’t re-gift or destroy it, or even use it as a pack animal, and the end result is you end up in the poorhouse. Punishment with a smile.

That shit says cocoa classics…mmhmmm I dont think there is anything classic about them, I think the only classic is you know plain old hot cocoa… Am I wrong? I mean I dont think classic carmel hot cocoa…I bet they made that cocoa 20 years ago, and dusted it off and shoved it into that classic packaging..the flavoring in the cocoa is just old mold…

Wow…I guess you can always donate it next year and set up surveillance to see what loser ends up "winning" the Cosbyology package next year.

You think that’s a cruel joke? My raffle ticket scored me "The Bill O’Reilly Factor FOR KIDS!" I’d jump for joy at a fucking Cosbyology book now.

That basket gives poop a bad name.. and 10,000 points to me for making a Bon Jovi/poop reference..

This basket goes beyond making baby Jesus cry. Every baby cries, why should he be any different. This basket makes baby Jesus’ eyes bleed!

I received a Fishnet Stocking Lamp for xmas last year, then got divorced and moved 2000 miles. Had to give it away before I moved.
They sell them on Amazon. GIANT APE JUICE!

About ten years ago, I did something similar to this and got a heart shaped box full of potpourri. I consider it of similar worth.

That reminds me of my highschool graduation… the day before we didn’t have class. Instead there was a day of hanging around with your friends and goofing off down at the football field, signing annuals and whatnot.

Everybody in school was signed up for a huge raffle-thing the school was having, and throughout the day people would be called up to claim prizes. I knew there was an N64 with a buttload of games which had yet to be claimed, so I was excited when my name was called (not too hopeful, but at least I was gonna win something).

hai… i’ve solved the mystery… fish DO and DON’T drink water… how there could be an entire book on this otherwise Unsolved Mystery-esque dilema i do not know… for more information please kill yourself or go to:

This is Giant Ape Juice war! Damn you, Bigger Than Cheeses! No Giant Ape Juice for you! Here is what the BTC site says at the bottom, about Giant Ape Juice:

"GIANT APE JUICE! Yes. Giant ape juice. We aim to be at least the #2 giant ape juice referrer on the entire internet. Can’t get enough of that sweet, sweet giant ape juice. Do you want some giant ape juice yet? Sure you do."

Oh Matt you have to get something out of this shitty basket. That’s why I’m jumping on the Giant Ape Juice bandwagon.

Giant Ape Juice makes a good X-mas gift. Giant Ape Juice should be sold in 4 packs. Giant Ape Juice is the drink of many a wage slave. Giant Ape Juice has only one man that can represent and bring da noise and that is Matt.

BTC is a punk. Matt and his Giant Ape Juice army will rise from the ranks and destroy the tyranny that is BTC.

nothin’ wrong with a thousand cups of cocoa, but land o lakes cocoa…? i dunno, definately sounds iffy. at the very least the basket looks like it’s worth keeping for…something, kindling maybe?…but the rest can be burned and the ashes scattered to the four winds…sorry bill, but you should have stopped with the jello.

Have a great time w/ your sis, Giant Ape - oops, I mean, kingklash. Do you guys celebrate all holidays while she’s home? Or will she be back before the end of the year?

Every time I hear that VISA promotion commercial ("too bad you didn’t buy that much"), I swear it’s Bronson Pinchot talking. I have to look up every time to make sure it’s not really him. Balki, where have you been? I’m afraid I’m going to spot you and you’ll resemble Pee Wee herman when he starred in Buffy the Vampie Slayer.

In the midst of my anger I forgot to edit my post so my email wouldn’t show.

Sorry, ma’am, but your name is "punkrockmom_24_7". How can I not Email you a million times and sign you up for extremely embarrassing things?

Well at least you got more than one lame raffle prize. When I was younger I won a half-completed Aladdin sticker book as a prize. I didn’t even like aladdin. Remember, raffles are where useless shit goes to die.

Hey Mars be nice. The name is a joke anyhow. Holy hell I am singing the Giant Ape Juice song now. Prm247 is really a chic that had a middrift on and a mohawk that I saw in the store buying Giant Ape Juice. No really she was…mars be nice okay.

Hey, be nice to prm247, or I’ll give Mr. T your email address and you will forever be haunted by the assinine.

Oh we are still at #2 here people. We need to give Matt the supreme gift of Giant Ape Juice internet rule for Christmas. Christ at this point we’ll never kick btc ass into submission.

Give Giant Ape Juice to me. It’s my Giant Ape Juice. Well, it’s not my Giant Ape Juice YET…but when you give the Giant Ape Juice to me, it WILL be my Giant Ape Juice.

Then I alone shall retain control over Giant Ape Juice! Except for the other people who have Giant Ape Juice. They will have Giant Ape Juice as well. Which sucks, because I want to be the only one with Giant Ape Juice, and I’m not the only one with Giant Ape Juice, because you still haven’t given me my Giant Ape Juice.
Giant Ape Juice hog.

At the risk of sounding like a tool. But what is the deal with Giant Ape Juice? Does Matt have an article dedicated to this unholy substance?

There’s a few tapes at my apartment with episodes of Captain Power on them. I’m hoping my boyfriend will run into the toys the next time we’re at his parents’ house…I want to see if they still work.

Ha ha! I actually think that’s a cool basket … I want free hot chocolate! And the books don’t look that bad … maybe I’m just a huge nerd

~M.

ooh Captain Power..hot damn.. I had that toy when I was in about 3rd or 4th grade. It was totally awesome interacting with the tv.
