My dying wish is for an owl/camel hybrid, which I call camowl.

Sideshow, they make a great Jason(s) no?

Geez, you've gotta get to checkin' widdese. Sideshow Collectibles has graced the world with a shitload of amazing 12" dolls from the Friday the 13th series, and normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal for me, but they've gone ahead and made dolls representing all of the different Jasons! Well, some of them at least. My favorite just for the sheer "I can't believe they made it" factor is Jason Voorhees as he appeared in Part II, complete with uncharacteristic large tuft of hair and an outfit that made Farmer Brown run around screaming about someone stealing his church clothes. And the sack mask! Other dolls in the line follow suit with being awesome, particularly the version from Part VI, perfectly encapsulating Jason's sudden progression from mangled man to Zsanus, king of the zombie lizards of Jupiter 9. By the way, this isn't a paid ad or anything. I don't think Sideshow would pay to lend promotion to figures that are limited editions already mostly sold out. Sorry if I had you all excited. Most of 'em are gone, available only to those brave enough to scour eBay with twice the original retail cost in their Paypal accounts.

LATE EDIT: Congrats to site pal and blogger "Manimal" on his first born!

oh eminentfreak?

Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential.
Therapist (Carrie Fisher): Oh no, please, please, let’s hear about your childhood.
Dr Evil: Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian woman named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
Therapist: You know, we have to stop.

Aw, the shy little eye peeking coyly out from behind the mask.

Congrats on das kleine Manimalchen (the little Manimal…)

Hey. I’d kinda like to "Join" this blog.
I’ve been reading it for about a year.

Yeah. I’m cool.

Congrats Manimal on the baby girl!

I love how it’s still Xmas in X-E land. We all know you’re sticking it out in hopes of extra presents. ;) Well, I think I might actually have one for you. I have all the videos for my Monday Video Clip uploaded, and although this one won’t be featured for a while… I think you might enjoy it.

Hello kids! Picture it. Toronto, 2005…a young woman is watching ye olde idiot box and while she’s channel surfing, she comes across some movie where this lady is having a baby and in her head she was like "Hmm…new baby…just like lil Emily…way to go Manimal!" That young woman was me. Apparently this blog has wormed its way into my heart. Also the fact that I actually went as far as to ask my brother if he owns Austin Powers so I could transcribe Dr. Evil’s therapy session on a Saturday night made me see the light.
I’m a geek, damnit :) I love it :)

For Erik and IHAQ, here’s a cool link to Discovery Health that has live action shots of babies in the womb. http://media.health.discovery.com/centers/pregnancy/video/video.html

Hey, where are our priorities? Manimal may have recently reproduced, but Trajeal just bought a DRAGON! A never-before opened dragon with the shrinkwrap still on it, that belonged to a guy named Pete! What a find! That beats a million babies, doncha know!

Man, now I wish I had brought my copy of Austin Powers to Korea with me…..I’m having withdrawl

Some time this week I am going to check this store that’s an hour away from my place. Last time I was there they had all 4 of the old Star Trek Ninja Tutrles. The lady that owned the place had around 20 of each, still in the boxes, setting on a table for $5 each. I didn’t have any money on me at the time, but I’m gonna check to see if she still has them, and buy a couple of sets. I’m really no fan of Star Trek, but who doesn’t love the turtles?

Any way, if anyone might be interested, and the lady still has more than one set, I’ll be nice to total strangers a pick up an extra set and ship it to ya. For a small fee though.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 01/24/2005 6:44 AM


STAR TREK Ninja Turtles?? I’ve never heard of them, but I am intrigued.

Matt- I don’t mind your outdated look- there’s no need to work FEVERISHLY, is there? :)

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 01/24/2005 8:53 AM


Dateline Iraq- Sis bonked her head on a door and needed two stitches. Who knew office work was so thrilling? She’s coming home nest month, but we just don’t know exactly when. I’m going to buy a giant Band-Aid and slap it on her head as soon as I see her.
Hey Manimal, Little Em was born in the year of the Rooster, which is cool. I was also born in a Rooster year, and look how I turned out!

To all of those praisinf Darth Tater…my link goes to Fark’s latest photoshop contest… starring the Tubered Lord of The Sith Himself

Oh, and congrats Manimal!

Ummm…is Matt dead?

I think Matt’s gonna hafta start looking into finding more writers just so that X-E can be updated regularly. Ahhh well…

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 01/24/2005 8:26 PM


Year of the rooster eh? That would explain why she is so cocky! (GET IT?? Eww, I’m so funny). In case you couldnt tell, I am delirious but also having a great time. Mrs. Manimal and baby are doing well.
I wish the TOYFARE # 91 cover was a poster. That would be a keeper.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 01/24/2005 9:37 PM


Is this really Year of the Rooster? I was born in a rooster year and would love it if my daughter was a rooster as well. She was born earlier this month. Someone else said she was a Year of the Monkey so I just assumed that this year was a monkey year.

Chestnuts roasted by kittygirl @ 01/25/2005 5:23 AM


Chinese astrology doesn’t change with the western New Year. It’s still the year of the Monkey, it changes to Rooster February 9th, I believe. So the little Manimal is still a monkey, by a little bit. My sister was born 1990 just a few days before the end of snake, that’s the only reason I even know such things…

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 01/25/2005 9:47 AM


Monkey: You are very intelligent and are able to influence people. An enthusiastic acheiver, you are easily discouraged and confused. Avoid Tigers. Seek a Dragon or a Rat.
Is she Capricorn or Aquarius?

kingklash and his Chinese food buffet addiction…

Here’s a link, if you want to check your birth year. http://www.new-year.co.uk/chinese/calendar.htm
I’m a rabbit, as is Mr. Traj. My kids are an Ox, a Snake and a Sheep. Looks like they’ll be walking all over us in no time. Mr. Traj is an Aries, as is Mini Traj #3. I’m a Taurus, as is Mini Traj #2. Mini Traj #1 is a Libra – the only one in the family. Huh. How come I never noticed that before?

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 01/25/2005 12:30 PM


Matt would be right on the cusp of one of them. Isn’t his birthday Feb 6th or something? Maybe it’s the 2nd. Crap. Someone must know.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 01/25/2005 12:31 PM


According to last year’s blog, yup, Matt’s birthday is February 6. Yay, birthday! FYI, he has a wish list on Amazon (look up x-entertainment). If we were good little minions, we’d chip in and buy him the plasma tv he wants…if only any of us had any money. Rats!

Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 01/25/2005 1:03 PM


Hey, Mystie. Your website says you live in Berks County… I’m Berks County now too… been stuck in Reading for the past two years. So you’re not so far from everything. You’re fairly close to me.

…as if that’s something to be happy about.

Chestnuts roasted by Silkenray @ 01/25/2005 4:01 PM


hey everyone. i have been reading everyone’s posts for so long. i post very occassionally. congrats to manimal. such wonderful news and a wonderful name. she is beautiful.
i live in brooklyn ny and work in manhattan. we got hit with so much snow… anyone else plowed in? i wonder if matt was plowed in? nyc is a mess! so muddy, yukka.

anyhoo… just thought i would say hey!

Chestnuts roasted by jessica @ 01/25/2005 4:02 PM


Was and still am. They don’t so much "plow" Staten Island as they do move the snow in front of everyone’s cars for no clear reason other than torment fetishes.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 01/25/2005 5:01 PM


Hey Matt! Glad to hear you are well insulated by the snow :)

Just wondering if you were able to get those comics that I sent? If not, I can try again, cause they are pretty damn cool!

Trajeal are you interested in a copy of the Corey Haim video? I think you would be! Email me and let me know, we can work something out off the blog!

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 01/25/2005 6:35 PM


Oh, you crazy, crazy kidneyboy. Can you imagine the jealousy if I let a Corey Haim video into this house? Mr. Traj would divorce me in a minute. That sexy Haim-miester.

Actually, are there two Corey Haim videos? There’s one that Matt reviewed, and then there’s one w/ him pawning a ring. Or, is that the same video? Now I’ll have to go search for Matt’s review and see. The curiosity is killing me.
Have you watched Riding the Bullet yet? I plan on catching it tonight at 9. I had to miss it on Sunday b/c Carnivale was on at the same time. I’m curious, but I’m scared at the same time. How bad did they mangle it? Although, David Arquette makes a pretty good psycho. He has Manson Lamp eyes.
