Advent & Advert Calendars, updated!

Advent and Advert Calendars, updated. Gotta go feed the fish. They eat frozen beef heart. Not kidding, they love the stuff. Comes packaged in these little manageable cubes that pop out of foil pockets right into the tank. I get a kick out of feeding my fish beef heart, but I don't want to ever touch it. Today's moral: I like Orbity.

Geez you weren’t kiddin. Those Kubrick figures are expensive, but they are also incredibly awesome.

I’m telling you, Mare is going to snap and summon bursts of pure plasmatic energy in her fists and shoot them out of her fingertips like bullets at Claire.

Claire is just too much of a bitch for Mare to keep her cool. Claire thinks she’s top dog when it comes to being mean, but I’m betting somebody in the story is far more evil than her when pushed to the limit. I can already see the hatred welling up within her each time our Stormtroopers fail. She’s geting restless…

Speaking of the Jetsons, I was shopping for my son the other night in Target and they had retro viewmasters! The box shouted "Timecapsule Viewmaster!" and they were obviously selling a lot better than the newfangled, complicated viewmasters that come with remote controls and kung fu grips. Anyway, they had two left, a red one with 3 Jetsons reels and a blue one with 3 Smurf reels. Which one did I pick? Let’s just say, this is going to be one Smurfarific Christmas!

I am finding myself way too emotionally invested in this plot. For the love of god, someone kill Claire.

Everyone see that lousy new Charlie Brown Christmas special last night? What a snooze.

Has everyone seen the Campbells Soup commercial with the melting snowman? I like that.

well, to Mr. I-wanna-know, you could see some cool stuff here:
http://www.action-figure.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=7895

It’s the Matrix Reloaded Kubricks for example, but for a better price and a better choice, check eBay, they’re sweeter there (I suspect they add more sugar)

Oh! and to Kinglash…hey hey! there’s X-Men Lego/Kubrick toys which are pretty cool by the way.

http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/oth001996.html

May be not the top notch but still some of the best around, but hey you just can’t top SW toys or even Nightmare Before X-mas kubricks…oh yeah!

Dont forget about Art Asylum’s Mini Mates.

They not only have Marvel characters, they have DC ones. THAT COME WITH THEIR OWN LEGO LIKE BUILDING SETS. (Only the DC ones though. To get past some liscense clause.)

And they kick the Kubrick toys asses since they aren’t blind buy. And have more articulation so Superman looks more impressive flying.

Here. Link: http://www.artasylum.com/products.html

The DC stuff is under the C3 name.

There are other companies making cute brick figure styled toys besides Lego and Kubrick, and they tend to be cheaper. 2 Packs of Minimates were on sale at some Wal Marts for 4.77 and the building set small ones with 2 figures and the little playsets were 10 bucks.

I was worried about the kitten for a minute. But then I remembered that this was Matt writing the Advent calendar so there was no way in hell a toy kitten would be destroyed. That was a close one though. I hope Claire doesn’t find that poor kitten.

I was happy to see that Waiterbot has a ‘good’ side and couldn’t kill the little kitty. Maybe Kuse and Knacks will convince him to take Claire down from the inside!

I want a viewfinder now.

I think the day before that commercial was filmed, George Jetson was on an alcohol-induced rant, screaming about how that pissant Flinstone thinks he’s king shit because he starred in the greatest Christmas commercial of all time.

"You want a great Christmas commercial? I’ll show you a goddamn cosmic commercial! Jane, get Sprint on the phone!"

"Oh, George. You’ve been drinking too much again! Rosey, set the closet to ‘drunk tank’."

Good job on the Advent Calendar. Some of you guys are takin the shit waaaaaayy too seriously though. Admit it, you probably hang around the site waitin for the next update dont you? I hate to break it to you guys, but Claire, Mare, Kuse, Knacks, whatever…they arent REAL people, they are toys, and this is just a website. Go get a hobby and care about something real. Other than that, good work Matt, keep it up.

Am I seeing David the Gnome on the bottom of the Advent Calendar? He’s not very Christmas-y!
