Would you buy dirt from Dracula’s castle?

In 2000, I wrote an article about a famous print advertisement offering "genuine soil from Dracula's castle." Bad article, good topic. Time to happily redo. The Halloween Countdown entry for October Thou Art Fourth provides a closer inspection of the Dracula dirt amulet, complete with mega close-up shots that reveal just how much Dracula dirt looks like hot cocoa mix. Enjoy.

Did I mention that Firefly jumps ahead to first place on the list of DVDs to buy? It’s in the line infront of He-Man and the rest of Jem,(I have the first 2 seasons already) people! Sorry, I’m done now. I may be a bit biased as I’m already a Joss Whedon fan. If you didn’t like his TV work, you probably won’t enjoy the movie as much as I did. His work has certain characteristics.

"homework, homework! give me a break!"

cool article, why haven’t you updated

I always assume that anyone who is conspicuously absent from the postings is in some hidden lair, surrounded by loyal minions, ready to launch a plan for world domination. Being ground under Trajeal’s boots doesn’t sound too bad.

Awesome!

Does anyone remember a nintendo game with a kid and and marshmallow guy that could change into different shapes if the kid gave him food? The marhmallow guy looked like that cartoon where the dinosaur shot rocks from his head. Dear God now I can’t remember the name of that cartoon. What was the name of that game, I lost an entire nights sleep over it! Please save me!

bloodybrilliantme, you’re thinking of A Boy And His Blob. That’s a damn hard game, too. You could feed the blob jellybeans to get through different obstacles (or, if you’re like me, just fall into chasms and die).

Thank you so much, I remember trying to play that game when I was 7 or eight, it was so hard and frustrating that I remember it fondly. I believe its why I’m an alcoholic to this day.

I loved A Boy and His Blob. Great game. Another wacky game I loved was Maniac Mansion where you could put the hamster in microwave to blow him up. The bad thing was that hamster was important and you had to start the game over by blowing the mansion and yourself up.

You know what would make a fun Halloween movie review. "Daffy Ducks Quackbusters." It’s on one of the HBO’s today.

Tried to Caramel Apple Jones Soda flavor. Not bad, but you’re right when they say that if you eliminate the caramel flavor, it does taste like sparkling apple cider. I give it a B-.

Loved maniac mansion. Did anyone ever play the computer game shivers? I never could get vey far with it. I however ruled on the game Kings Quest Four on the Tandy computer system

Jeez, I’m so behind on the countdown. That’s what I get for living without internet at home. It’s killing me.

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 10/05/2005 1:16 PM

Jack of Spades, i honestly don’t remember , it was some torrent site about 2 years ago or so. If you have myspace message me (in my name) and ill send a few to you somehow, or if not, if worse comes to worse ill put one or two on rapidshare or soemthing. I have the full season one.

Chestnuts roasted by Ralph @ 10/05/2005 1:24 PM

Ok, so i’m trying to put the first episode on yousendit. It seems like its gonna take a looooonnggg time to upload. But if one or two people can benefit from this, then I’ll feel like a nice guy :) I haven’t used yousendit before but hopefuly this works. I’ll give everyone the link a little later if it works. The episode im tying to upload is the very first one, ‘The tale of the Phantom Cab.’

Chestnuts roasted by Ralph @ 10/05/2005 1:42 PM

Mara: Here’s a quick summary of the countdown since you’ve missed some of it: Halloween is awesome. Or as kids these days would say, it’s "teh bizzomb".

Glad you enjoyed the movie Gab. I highly recommend getting the series on DVD because it is just that kick ass. I did manage to see a few more episodes and they were fuckin’ sweet. Particularly the episode about Jaynestown but won’t spoil it for you…Serenity is the best movie out now that most people probably won’t see. I got to see it at the midnight showing with all the fanboys and girls so that made it that much more entertaining…

Being Romanian by heritage more than birth, I have to say I was a little offended at the blatant spelling error.
however Vlad is probably an old relative of mine
so i’m a vampyre. yay me

Chestnuts roasted by Gene @ 10/05/2005 2:25 PM

Update now, this is the last warning.

Chestnuts roasted by me @ 10/05/2005 2:42 PM

Saw Serenity on Sunday. Will likely see it again this weekend. Oh, how I love that show. I’m taking someone who never watched the show on Friday but I have faith she will respond well.

In other news, we were watching something on G4tech tv (gaming channel) and they mentioned something about a new edition of A Boy and his Blob. Definitely something to look forward to.

Romulan heritage?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 10/05/2005 3:20 PM

Romulan = Romulox?

Romulox, I know you’re in there, and if I find out you got my PDA, oh you gonna be in troble boy!

the three most recent threads all have their margins broke…

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 10/05/2005 4:40 PM

Doho — Thanks, I’ve fixed them. It’s a problem that affects Firefox users, not IE users. I readily admit that Firefox is better than IE. :)

Also, it’s another reminder for everyone to use proper tags when linking to other sites. Please do not paste super long links!
