Freddy and Jason Spitballs!

Some recent major poll credited The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as being the scurrrriest movie of all time. I guess that's possible under the right light, but...eh. The Exorcist ranked in at #2, and though I'm much more of a Leatherface fan than a pea soup fan, I must admit that I personally find the latter film far scarier. Leatherface and pals...you gotta go into the woods or some shit to get in trouble with them. Satan can attack wherever, whenever. Bleh. New Countdown entry for Monday: Freddy Krueger & Jason Voorhees Spitballs!

Another educational shows I used to watch were on HBO. One was Braingames which had the guy who head would crack open like an egg.

Another one was called Encyclopedia. They would take a letter and do various comedic bits based on words beginning with that letter. For example, for E, they would do stuff like egg, Einstein, eyes, etc.

Other HBO shows I liked, Encyclopedia Brown (loved the books) and those kids specials they would do on the environment, cusumer products, and special effects.

Just tried the Candy Corn Jones Soda. I hate it and candy corn so no big surprise. Maple Syrup flavored. Wonder what it would taste like on pancakes, waffles, or french toast.

Spitballs?
So are these what john kerry were going to arm the troops with?

Mousercize – wow. It had a traumatizing effect on me. My first experience with gym class was Kindergarten mousercizing. No one liked it and it reminded me off my mom’s Jane Fonda workout record.

Looking back I’m surprised people exercised to records. Wouldn’t all that movement cause skips?

I thought "Mousercize" was the expulsion of a demonic rodent spirit from a human host.
Speaking of old records, I recently came across a couple of Books-and-Records, one with the record, of The Black Hole, and Rankin-Bass’s version of The Hobbit. The Hobbit is the vinyl-less one. How much do you think I’ll get for Black Hole?
(ping!)

Dear Lucifer, I love those story books and records! I still have the complete Gremlins set I forced my mother into buying with each trek we made to Hardees. I also have one of Ghostbusters.
PS> Thanks for the Mousercise info!

Guy man person dude boy, A John Kerry joke in october 2005?

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 10/03/2005 12:35 PM

I think i’m going to stick to get-in-shape-girl. i loved that ribbon… and the ankel weights that weighed less than my socks

I don’t get it.

Chestnuts roasted by John Kerry @ 10/03/2005 1:48 PM

kingklash I have The Black Hole and The Hobbit in book/record format too. Not only do I have the records for both…. I even have a spare Hobbit one.

Chestnuts roasted by Carri @ 10/03/2005 2:02 PM

You know, I’m very surprised that the format hasn’t been tried with those little CDs. A disc the size of the original VideoNow b/w discs would hold the not only the original content, but maybe some extra tracks as well.
The sales flyers in the Sunday papers are starting to get into the Hallow-mood. Target has a punch recipie that uses two of the Jones soda flavors. Anybody have any concoctions of their own?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 10/03/2005 2:55 PM

Sounds like a fantastic idea kinglash. The give out those cd games with cereal all the time, if they were in kids meals, imagine how well they would do.
BTW: Jones Soda candy corn has to be the most foul concoction on the earth.

Mousercize — how crazy was that shit?

I remember doing those "exercizes" when I was in elementary school, under the evil eye of the elementary coach. We didn’t have a gym, proper, at that time — or maybe they just didn’t want little kids on the gym floor — so we’d have PE in the cafeteria, with the tables pushed up against the walls. The cafeteria floor had been surfaced with paint and then speckled over with bits of confetti, followed by a clear gloss coat. By the time I was in elementary, the clear coat was starting to peel up. Besides which, we were all on our hands and knees doing Mousercize (at one point, crawling like crabs on the seashore, I remember) and one could never tell if she were about to put her hand on a large pile of confetti or on the tater-tot-pie that Chester Snortlewitz had vomited up earlier in the day.

Blegh.

Still, I could probably sing along to all the songs, to this day. And I turn 30 on Friday.

That’s just sad, People.

Ah, Get in Shape Girl was great. I thought I was awesome when I did a cartwheel on the purple balance beam that was about half an inch off the floor of my bedroom.
We did use Mousercize in my ballet class though.

Oliver, it was a bootleg DVD a friend of mine got as a bonus with an eBay order. Click my name…

Braingames; Holy Moly! I remember watching that show on HBO. If there’s a show I really miss watching, it’s Braingames. That and "Fat Albert"…Hey,Hey,Hey, It’s Fat Albert!:)

"I don’t get it".

That is all.

Chestnuts roasted by Guy man person dude boy @ 10/03/2005 5:58 PM

I have to admit that I was one of those kids who did "You and Me, Kid" with my mom when I was in preschool. Now that I remember it, it was kind of a creepy show, what with the parent/child matching outfits, gentle bonding exercises and scary geri-curl host guy.

You guys who did "Mousercize" in gym class were LUCKY! My fat-ass gym teacher sat on the bleachers twirling his whistle while we did…get ready for it……SWEATIN’ TO THE OLDIES. Yes, I was subjected to the horror that is Richard Simmons all the way through elementary school. We always thought it was weird that we were exercising to a "fat people" workout. :D

One more thing: Anybody remember the name of the weird guy (also with a geri-curl) that wore the unitard that let you see his insides? You could see the heart, intestines, veins, the works. I don’t remember the show but I sure remember thinking it was a little dirty to see the dude’s insides. Anyone, anyone?

Chestnuts roasted by Jillybeann @ 10/03/2005 6:06 PM

Jillybean, I think you’re remembering Slim Goodbody. I never really watched it, but my obnoxious little sister did, and I remember it because she’d always say "I only listen to Mama and Slim Goodbody!"

Chestnuts roasted by Elfinlady @ 10/03/2005 6:17 PM

That’s who it is! Thanks, Elfinlady- that’s been bugging me for years :)

Chestnuts roasted by Jillybeann @ 10/03/2005 6:20 PM

I own Pee’s Wee’s Big Adventure on DVD, but have seen the movie MANY times since I was around 4 (way back in late ’86-1987)). GREAT MOVIE!!!!!

Man, "Zoobilie Zoo" is creepy today. I caught some of it a few years ago, and I think what cared me more was the closing production company logo (SfM Productions). The creepy Morse-code like beeping sound, and some announcer saying "This has been a presentation of SFM productions…" or something like that. I got a really bad flashback when I bought my "Laugh-In" DVDs, and that logo re-surfaced. It’s one of those things you don’t watch in the dark, late at night…when everyone else is sleeping. Made that mistake. The logo of course…and possibly Zoobilie Zoo. Remember those old Hallmark ads from the end of the show that told you to go buy the toys at Hallmark?! I can’t remember anything from high school math, but I remember creepy production company logos and Hallmark ads.

Poor Jillybeann…"Sweating to the Oldies"?!! Mr. Slim Goodbody was teh guy with the unitard and his insides showing. Apparently, he does tours of that act again. Yikes.

Chestnuts roasted by Allison @ 10/03/2005 6:23 PM

Yes, when i was in Kindergarten/1st grade we did the mousericize thing. I distinctly remember doing moves to the song Flashdance(What a Feeling). And as for http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/images/347a.jpg" target="_blank">Slim Goodbody
we watched him in gym class around the same time. He is almost as scary as Tim Curry…. :)

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 10/03/2005 6:49 PM

Wow those spitballs are weird. I love Freddy and Jason though.

You have an awesome site, One article I read a long time ago from your site was the one about the old Trolls movie (I think) that was REALLY scary. I had nightmares lol
