What are Santa Pens?

What you see above is no illusion -- they are indeed Santa Pens. Santa Pens, a rare ballpoint species from up guess which direction, come in many shapes and sizes. They're like people with ink inside. Perhaps they're more like squid. They're mystical creatures in any event, capable of enormous feats and fantastic Christmas miracles. This of course is a cheap way to remind you that the Advent and Advert Calendars have been updated for December 8th, with weird sticks and Hallmark Cards. You walked right into that one, dolt. Now you will pay the old fashioned way.

One of the Santa Pens is of the boxing variety, which is to say, he'll throw jabs with the push of a mildly concealed lever above his ass. He's wearing his championship white gloves, so you know his skillet be sizzlin. The other Santa Pen reacts to the first Santa Pen's Pen Powers the way any Santa Pen without boxing ability would: by bulging his eyes out in tribute to the only scene from Total Recall I can firmly remember besides the classic "three hands" gag. And, for some reason, I remember that dying, gasping goldfish pretty well, too. Glup bulp glub gasp. Dead fish. Bad man. Cut to tired midget sucking wind out of a fan. I love Santa Pens.

The santa pen on the right is rather frightning, in an oddly hypnotic way…YAY for Santa parifinalia (I can’t spell)

I only just noticed on your Advert Calendar that you have an Energizer Ad with Jacko, i thought that was only an Australian Thing?? He is not as popular here as he used to be, at the moment he is doing an RSL Club (Retired Services) tour with another famous Australian, Mark "Chopper" Read who is a notorius hitman/killer, gee we have great Role models here in Oz huh? Anyone seen the Movie "Chopper" in the U.S.??? It has Eric Bana in it?

1st comment here but long time visitor. Great holiday site, really top notch. The best part of the holidays is watching the old 80′s tapes with those commercials.

I wonder if the bulging eyes santa’s worried that the boxing one will K.O it to hell. There’s only room for one santa.

Yesterdays Advent calander left me with a question of "Where’d Matt get that little sushi bar?" before I realized it was a sushi bar I suspected it mighta been the Mos Eisley bar from Star Wars, but they didnt have a revolving belt and japanese food. But I remembered what does, the….Bratz? Tokyo toy series for skanky little girls. Then I was wondering why’d Matt get that, but for several reasons that I would never think of, I thought of one "Who could resist a minuture sushi bar?"

Matt, where do you freaking get the time or energy to make all of this stuff?

Chestnuts roasted by RonC @ 12/07/2004 10:23 PM


I can just imagine the creative process that led up to this year’s advent calendar.
MATT: You know, last year’s production was good, but it didn’t have that "total mindfuck" quality I was going for. How can I make the entire thing even more surreal? I know! Stormtrooper lego figures!
Someday, Matt, you’re going to make a therapist very rich. Also, is it just me, or is Mare’s halo becoming a bit tarnished?

I hereby offer the sum of one fuck to the person who makes Waiterbot explode. Ha its true Mare is less like a cherub all of a sudden!

All hail the Hypno-Santa. Long Live Hypno-Santa. Yea Yea.

Okay, I don’t comment much but I have to say that this year’s advent calendar is a fucking epic. It’s pure genius and leaves me begging for more each day. Last year I’d do them in chunks every few days or so, this year I’m up on the site around midnight. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’.

Chestnuts roasted by Tenchi @ 12/08/2004 12:26 PM


Yikes, they’re both kinda creepy..
:O

Can’t say I’d want either of these in my home. Creepy. They belong in the Halloween countdown.

I too, have noticed Mare bursting at the seams so to speak…though she’s becoming more like her bumbling Stormtrooper friends than the Evil Incarnate she was the past couple years.

Help me…

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 12/08/2004 3:00 AM


Haha! James knows a little too much about the Bratz collection. And "skanky little girls" for that matter…

Chestnuts roasted by Calypso @ 12/08/2004 4:22 AM


Both of those Santa pens frighten me beyond words. This is why I’m so confused by my uncontrollable urge to own them both. Must have them!

Chestnuts roasted by DoMifer @ 12/08/2004 5:53 AM


I saw a number of keychains and stuff with those same bulging eyes, a few years ago. I nicknamed them "Animutation action figures." I never got to buy one, though, so I’m glad this Santa thing is around to snap up.

Eintein is a Krang wannabe.

Loving the advent calendar, Matt!

I could take Santa

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. T @ 12/08/2004 11:16 AM


Sis is on her plane back to Iraq as I type, but today’s Advent chapter helps the mood a bit. I’m with the consensus that Mare is starting to recover from being dead. I think I know why she is so evil, usually: there is a really big skeleton jammed into that little body. That’d make anyone cranky, I don’t care who you are.

Santa looks like he’s doing weed or ate a few Guatamalen Insanity Peppers.

Chestnuts roasted by AngeFaitore @ 12/08/2004 11:46 AM


Santa’s eyes look like Dippin’ Dots.

Great job on the Advent Calendar. LMAO at Mare wearing the sushi on her face. She looked like Little Orphan Annie. Waiterbot is going to get his ass kicked. Just wait until the Mare-claws come out.

Holly Hell and Santa’s Bells this years advent calendar is the shit. I haven’t laughed so hard at one single thing in a bit. Thanks Matt for making my work day more bearable.

Matt Rules!!!

Another awesome entry once again!

And both "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown" and "Charlie Brown Christmas Tales" were both on ABC last night, and they were wonderful as always…and this was the first time I saw the Christmas Tales special too. Oh, and the newest special "I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown" will be on ABC NEXT tuesday at 8pm est.

And Matt, where does someone like me find the Playmobil Advent Calendar anyway?

David Brent: What’s the weather like up there?
Nathan ‘Oggy: Oh I’ve heard that before.
David Brent: They must have put you in a grow bag when you were little did they?
Nathan ‘Oggy: That’s an old one.
David Brent: Let’s grow ourselves a big lanky goggle-eyed freak of a son.
Nathan ‘Oggy: Alright calm down mate, there’s no need to get offensive.
David Brent: No no, I was joining in…
Nathan ‘Oggy: I didn’t call you fatty as soon as I saw you.
David Brent: No I was joining in with…
Nathan ‘Oggy: Just don’t have a go at the eyes, cos that is a astigmatism I’ve had from the age of five, so that’s what make them a bit bulbous, so don’t just… I didn’t call you the whale-man or like blubber-man.

Ignore the "a" before "astigmatism" since I was trying to correct the quote in a hurry.
