X-Entertainment's Christmas Season & Advent Calendar, 2008.

10/27/2005: Halloween + Yogurt = TROUBLE!

Halloween and dairy products are at it again with the new spooky edition of Yoplait Go-Gurt, now arriving with tiny 3-D glasses and collectible monster cards. So, now that we’re like a hair away from the big day, does anyone have any special plans? I don’t. I’m considering taking off Monday just to avoid the depressing ride home at night when it hits me that Halloween’s over, but if I did, I’d probably spend it sleeping anyway. At least I’d get to see the look on the trick-or-treaters’ faces when my doorstep booby trap plan comes to fruition. Something to do with electrocution.

Search term collage from yesterday’s stats. The numbers note the amount of people who came here for each particular term…

Eighteen for “Halloween slogans?”

Dude…scary yogurt. What’s next, spooking granola? How about frightening shoes? Ideas must be running out…

Yeah, I’m gonna dress up as space ghost and get flat out hammered at a friend’s party!

The other day was the store I work at Halloween party for little kids. ARG! Headache. So hard to move pallets around a crowded store. I did have fun saying what costumes I saw with a co-worker. Could have played costume bingo or that license plate game but with costumes. I have work Monday. So sadly no trick-or-treating for me. The ride home at midnight past cornfields should be interesting. Horror movie start for sure.

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but the card-backs link just goes to the main page. Thanks for another great article Matt.

When Gogurt first came out, I said, "There is no way that is going to last!" It’s a creative idea, but I really thought people would feel weird sucking yogurt from a tube. I guess I was dead wrong.

Anyways, I am not a big fan of regular yogurt, but I like Gogurt. Gogurt is especially good when it is frozen. I just wish they would ban all flavors containing "banana". I really want that strawberry milkshake flavor, but it’s not worth having to eat a half a box of banana split.

GREAT article Matt, so many great lines. My favorite was "Then again, I guess if you’re being nice enough to give away 3-D glasses with a product that has so little veritable reason to make such concessions, you’re not going to concern yourself too much with the idiots who shit on your gift horse."

A close second: "I do question just how "unportable" regular yogurt actually is. Those cups ain’t heavy."

Woohoo almost Halloween! My big plans aren’t for the actual day, they are for Saturday or "The Alcoholic’s Halloween". Big costume party at the campus bar. Normally I despise couples costumes by my boyfriend and I are going to look awesome: he is going as Idaho and I am going as Floreda. We had no help from our parents.

I have party invites all weekend long. Then on Halloween night…I’m gonna be at MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. I’m so psyched up

I think that on Halloween night we should all have a little story time thing and will share ghost encounters and stories. I mean that is just me though…But I remember the FARK one got pretty freaky.

That is a bitchin’ collage! A coworker and I got tapped with handling the Halloween party responsibilities, and we agonized over the draft of the invite and were totally reaching for Halloweenie slogans so I know exactly why that was looked up.

A more topical second: Does anyone else pronounce "Go-Gurt" the English way? Try it out - "gah-gurt."

Tougi, this is America. Kid-catering companies would never pronounce something "gah-gurt" and not spell it "GAH!-Gurt."

Well, I just got my Halloween costume tonight. That’s right - a full-blown gorilla costume. It was so cheap I thought the store was going "bananas"! Get it? Anyway, I figured that I can always use a gorilla costume for day-to-day prankings too. I’d better practice jumping out of closets and out from under beds.

Anyway, I’m going to a friend’s Halloween costume party tomorrow night (9:00 p.m. - ???), we’ve got a party at work on Monday, and Madison will be one big party on Saturday night too (Halloween partying is a huge tradition here - I just hope there’s not any rioting this year). As "Macho Man" Randy Savage would say, "Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!"

Go-Gurt has always baffled me too, but just when I think yogurt has run out of ways to scare me, along comes Yogurt Blast Cheerios.

For one thing, yogurt is not a "blast." Yogurt is gross curd that I wouldn’t touch with a forty-foot pole. I also have my doubts that "dry" yogurt is going to work. All those pizza-flavored crackers I have seen come and go over the years never replaced pizza. And THIS….is not pizza.

Yogurt Cheerios makes no sense. Why don’t they just give us Chocolate Marshmallow Cheerios just so we can cease having to hear the commercial claims that Cheerios is so good for you that it will cure cancer?

Speaking of 3-D glasses, does anyone know if "I Love the 80s 3D" is really made to be watched with them, or is it just the hokey title?

Man, you know what other 3-D gimmik doesnt work out too well? I love the 80’s in 3-D. I got specially made 3-D specs from work just for that show, and at best its just a slight distortion from reality.
I put em on and took a gander at those card backs and those work about as well as the show does. But oddly enough this website has a pretty freaky 3-D effect if you put on these glasses.

Why didn’t you review any Halloween decorations this year? Is it because nothing can top Standing Skull Guy?

I haven’t tried them, but I think "Yogurt Blast Cheerios" are simply vanilla-flavored. Sort of in the same vein as honey-nut and apple-cinnamon. And berry-burst. And frosted. And whatever else there may be (I wouldn’t be surprised if they had chocolate cheerios).

I was a bit confused by the 40 big asses… but then again… by questioning the big ass thing… i can only hope to propagate the people reaching x-e by searching for big ass. then there’d be a big ass number next to big ass.

Oh, and i’ll be doing the Halloween Parade thing this year… might be going to a party this weekend.

2 more days ’til Devil’s Night…when I will follow my annual tradition of watching what else?

Albrecht: You, don’t move!
Eric Draven: I thought cops always said, "Freeze!"
Albrecht: Well, I say "don’t move." Move, Snow White, and you’re dead!
Eric Draven: And I say I am dead… and I move.

Big costume party tomorrow night. on the actual day of halloween, i will be rooting on my black and gold. i should have been doing it from heinz field, but my friends are lame.

Great to see that there are so many Steelers fans!! We’re the best! My husband is taking his dad to the Halloween game (with OUR tickets - feeling just a little jilted…) I’ll be at the Dec. 11 game though!
X-E is the best site I’ve ever found. Halloween is the best Western holiday (I think I could really get into Chinese New Year and that Japanese holiday celebrating girls) and I love to see it celebrated for like 2 months on the countdown!
I’m not a Christmas person but the Christmas Countdown makes me anticipate each day like baby Jesus waiting to bust into the world!!

they’re good if you freeze them in the summertime…it makes kind of a ‘Frogurt Popsicle’

My girlfriend and I are throwing our annual halloween bash on saturday night. I will be Edward Scissor Hands. Then on halloween I will be scaring the piss out of the neighborhood children.

Those "murder mystery" parties are always more fun when you actually kill someone.

They come in two flavors: strawberry and vanilla. Think "yogurt-covered pretzels" except with cheerios. And only about 1/4 of them are covered. And you eat them in a bowl, presumably with milk, unless you’re Matt. The wife thought the ratio of "blasted" to regular cheerios was way too low. I thought they were ok, but I don’t eat that much cereal.

I measure my cereal out into 1-cup containers and eat it dry out of those. Milk is for the birds. I can’t tolerate lactose.

I dunno there’s just something about eating a food product made by bacteria. YUCK

. But who knows maybe this go-gurt stuff tastes good.

When my grandfather died and people started sending over the requisite food to my grandmother’s house, someone sent over a large sandwich tray, but it came with a 10-pk. of Yoo-hoo, a bunch of "Big Grab" potato chips and a box of Go-gurt. I know this wasn’t the intent, but having a box of Go-gurt delivered to your door after a death is so odd that you can’t help but stop grieving for a second while you try to figure out what the heck’s going on. Then when the Yoo-hoo follows… Anyway, that’s the only time I tried it. It wasn’t too terrible, but apparently I’ve just gotten too old to find squeezing yogurt out of a tube appetizing, much less the preferred way. I guess "portable" food is anything that doesn’t require any type of eating utensil or plate. Anyone else thinking of Brian Regan right now? Peanut Butter and Jelly in the same jar? "I don’t want to open two jars. I can’t be opening and closing all kinds of jars; using…WHO KNOWS how many knives."

Hey Ghost with the Most, I am going to the Dec. 11 Steelers game too, but this Sunday I’m a huge Green Bay fan, cause they play the Bungholes!!!!

We have huge HW plans. I am doing my part to keep HW alive in the wake of the Christmas onslaught. We are dressing up as the count and a vamp. We have the graveyard in place and have probably close to 10 commitments of fellow spooks to help us run the yard and scare children. We also expect close to 200 kids to come seeking chocolate. Expect it to be a grand time and a time that kids will look back on and remember the crazy neighbor with the elaborate Halloween decorations.

As every year, taking any little ones around to T or T. And then sitting on the porch to hand out more candy. This year though, we have use of the old spooky house next door, so Soldier Sister’s oldest son might hand out treats there. We’ll need to run an extension cord for lights and cd player, but it would be fun anyway, the house being so creepy and all. I hung up some old faded Jack O’Lantern buckets in the tree out front, so it looks pretty good already.
I can’t stress this enough: if you’re taking kids around, take some time to dress up even halfway decent. Some folk will give you a little something just for the effort of "Doing something special with the kids." (especially if you have a mask that conceals your age.)

I do not suck yogurt out a tube. There’s just too much Freudian stuff going on there for me to enjoy it.

I’m skipping classes monday and driving home from college. Being back in the old neighborhood on Halloween night… that’s what it’s all about.

I have no HW plans of my own, just Trick or Treating with my son. I did buy an obscene amount of candy to hand out at the coffee shop. And I plan to stream the HW jukebox all day long. My son is dressing as Robin (from Teen Titans, as opposed to Batman’s sidekick) Having a 4-year-old means we watch ALOT of Cartoon Network, and he loves Teen Titans. I used to hate watching all those cartoons, but now the shows are growing on me. With the exception of BO Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo. I don’t actually allow my son to watch it. Freakin’ cheerleading blond ‘fro freak.

Had I known search entries were going to be put up for all to see, I would have never searched for "big ass" forty times.

I consistently get a good amount of hits for "big ass," all because of the "Big Ass Tribute To Forgotten Star Wars Heroes" from yeaaaars back.

On HW, I’m having some outpatient surgery to have some bumps on my arms removed.

You know the one costume I have not seen in stores this year that I thought I would. The Scarecrow from "Batman Begins." I’ve seen a Joker mask, but no Scarecrow.

Having a child who looks forward to Halloween with the exuberance of a Navy man on shore leave helps keep me in the spirit. My huband and I are going to a Samhain gathering on Halloween night after we take our daughter out for the night. Hope everyone has a wonderful night, blessed be.

Eating yogurt and/or pudding out of a tube is wrong. It just is. I am with you on the dry cereal. Adding milk seems to…pollute it somehow. Soggy cereal doesn’t appeal to me. Of course, I LOVE milk, so maybe two good things together are just too much for me to handle. I also don’t like chocolate milk. Love chocolate. Love milk. What’s the problem? I just don’t know…

Having a big party tomorrow night (Friday). We’re doing a murder mystery with over 30 people.

For past Halloween party’s (the last 4 years), we have always done a game called Scaventures which is good fun if you are in an urban environment.

We have also played Nightmare once (a VHS boardgame). Say, now that game would make an excellent countdown article.

Matt,
No plans for me I’m afraid. Working full time just like you so in the same boat: by the time I get home Halloween’s over. Then again we don’t have as many young kids on the block as we used to so we don’t get many trick or treaters anymore so it’s kind of sad…at least my boyfriend will be driving around for his job (he’s an alarm technician) and he’ll get to see kids out and about in costume…oh well..I’ll be making it a point to watch Rocky Horror on DVD though…

Well, depending on what the fraternity decides, I am doing one of the two things first:

Regardless, the 2nd part of the evening will be a viewing of Young Frankenstein, and Possibly RHPS.

I might be going to a party on the 6th! Here’s to extending the season!
And if it wasn’t already blatently obvious, I’m going as

Saturday night at midnight, on the Johns Hopkins campus, there will be Rocky Horror, and it will rock. I will be there, and anyone from X-E who wants to come should do so! It’s in Arellano Theater (erm… as soon as you’re on campus ask any student and they’ll know where it is). Once you’re inside, ask the cast for me and I’ll be there to greet you. In fishnets.

they’re good if you freeze them in the summertime…it makes kind of a ‘Frogurt Popsicle’

I received Frankenberry (2 boxes of them!) in the mail. All I need to do is eat it and life will be golden.

With HW plans, theres a "Fall Fest" party going on at 2 parts of my school during its common hour, and the first 100 people to show up in costume gets a prize (I’m figuring its something lame like a pen, but its still a prize damnit!). And as I’ve said in previous blogs, i’m going as Magnum PI. It’s probably the first time I’ve dressed up in about 9 or so years and this site & Homestar Runner have made me appreciate this hoiday more than ever before!

And All Hail Scott the Frankenberry Mage! Also, I’ve kept my promise to name something after him: A Pumpkin. I’s send a pic but I don’t feel like going through the hassle of going to an image hosting thing for this. I’m lazy.

It’s funny, just talking with the mrs. about what the phrase "the world is your oyster" came from. I mean have you seen an oyster, ewww. or does it just mean you can do anything you want with it cause it’s small and defenseless.

RAS: It just means the possibility of unknown potential. Or, to quote A. Whitney Brown, during his annual commencement speech on Weekend Update: The world is your oyster, so even if you don’t find a pearl, you at least have lunch.

I have an almost-two year old that doesn’t really understand Halloween yet, but the boy sure does love candy so we’re taking him to relative’s houses and such. He also loves the Batman theme song, thus he’ll be the cutest Batman in history.

Way to go, Invader Norbert!!! "The search is over, Frankenberry was right behind…my eyes…" had to throw the Survivor song "The Search is Over." Yippee!!!!!

I don’t like yogurt much. Never really did. Wukong Effect, I like your reason for not eating the Gogurt. I also agree with Lori–I guess there’s an age that it just isn’t fun or appetizing anymore.

I start my new job on Monday (I got a Receptionist/Secretary position at a Contractors office in Absecon, New Jersey). So, I’ll have to wait till I get home to wear my Peanuts Halloween T-shirt. If I wasnt working, you better believe that I would have answered the door in that shirt. Hehe.

I had a strange dream last night about being at the X-E convention and meeting the cast of Golden Girls (yes even Estelle Getty although she is actually dead). My head is still spinning….

After seeing Tim Curry sing that song right from the movie…wow. Just wow. He’s the only thing that keeps that song from being downright terrible with that great voice of his. "The effects equal Tron!" said no one.

I stand corrected, i thought estelle had passed away but apparently she is still living…

you know whats sad? I work at a shop rite, and yesterday they took down all the halloween decorations in favor for christmas ones. 4 days before halloween.

Ralph, what concentric circle of Hell is it when Halloween decor is taken down a mere 4 days prior to Halloween in favor of Christmas decorations when the holiday is just a little less than 2 months away? however, I went to Macys several weeks ago, and they have their Christmas trees up already.

The Story of Jack and His Lantern
A Hallowe’en Treat For X-Entertainment
By kingklash

It was nearly a year before Jack ran out of Things To Do In Ireland When You’re Dead. Afterward, he finally got down to the brass tacks of his situation. First thing he discovered is that he wasn’t a traditional ghost. He had actually died of Natural Causes, and still sticking to his wandering ways, so he had no traumatic experience or sentimentality to anchor him to any one place. He had been between schemes, so Unfinished Business was out. He was an only child, and never knew any close relatives, never had many friends, so no loved ones to bother with. He could talk to other spirits, so he did find out the whys and wherefores of their existence. He found them mostly depressing, being a “Here and Now” type of person, and ghosts, with very few exceptions, were “What Was and Never Will Be” types. While he couldn’t do many of the things Normal ghosts do, like float through the air, wail endlessly, and just generally scare the wits out of people, he had his own ways to amuse himself. He spent some time at the home of a clock maker from Germany. It seemed when his family had come to Ireland, they had also brought along a few boisterous spirits that called themselves “Poltergeists”. From them, he learned how to interact with solid objects. After that, he resumed his traveling. During that time, he discovered three things about his condition:
First, there were times he could be seen by people as a solid form. While walking down a road, he passed by a peddler who greeted him and continued on normally. It took him a quarter of a mile before it registered. While he could see himself, Jack was at first sure no one else could. At least he appeared to be in his favorite traveling clothes. He had died in his sleep after a night with a young lady who left for her home before dawn, so he was glad he wasn’t seen in that state. He quickly found out how to fade in and out of sight when he wanted, and welcomed the chance for talking to people for the hour or so a day he could manage. Of course, if he popped out in the middle of a conversation, the commotion it caused was almost worth it.
Second, while he didn’t need any kind of nourishment, he found when experimenting with being visible, he could eat and drink small amounts. He couldn’t get drunk, as any effects of alcohol faded as soon as he did. At least it was a chance to go to some old haunts, so to speak. Nobody ever seemed to recognize him, but he could still talk some drunken merchant into buying him a small meal now and then.
Finally, he was cold. Not a Dead of Winter kind of cold, but a constant, nagging kind of vaguely persistent cold. This was the only thing that truly bothered him. Once he tried to stand in the middle of a bonfire, but it only managed to take a little bit of the edge off. In fact, the last times he felt comfortable was up in Heaven and down in….
“Hell! Of all the places I would like to be, I can’t believe I have to go back and figure out how I can be warm and not have to camp out in front of those accursed black gates! He’s probably laughing at me right now!” Angrily he marched down the road that’s paved with good intentions.
Once more at the entrance to Satan’s home, Jack started in with every unflattering name he could think of, including some that knocked a couple of demons out of the sky. As the last syllable sizzled through the already-singed air, the doors opened and the Devil, holding the roasted haunch of some unknown beast, stepped through.
“You are interrupting my dinner, you know.”
“You can go back as soon as you solve the problem you caused.”
“I heard about your jump in the bonfire. Guess I am to blame, you were supposed to be Hell bound, it’s not exactly ice and snow here. Why should I do something for you? You know I’m not letting you get even a toe inside my door.”
“Well, I did help boost your Reputation, didn’t I?”
Satan nearly dropped his meat in shock, “Have you lost your mind? In what dream of yours did anything like that ever occur?! You did nothing of the kind!”
“I beg to differ. Have I or have I not got out of every temptation you have thrown at me?”
“Yes, but….”
“And every time you have come up with something more tricky and devious to catch me?”
“Yes, but….”
“Causing me to think even faster on my feet, and you to be even more, shall we say, Diabolical?”
“Yes, but…”
“So, every time I have had to up my game, it caused you to up yours, right?”
“I wouldn’t say it exactly like that, but, yes.”
“It stands to reason that your are a Smarter Prince of Darkness now than before we first met, does it not?”
“Hmm, I guess it does.”
“So, you owe me. Besides, it is written that every time You get called out, You owe seven times over the trouble You caused. I figure I still have at least a couple of markers to call in yet.”
“All right, you got me. Let me see what I can do.” Taking a bite out of the haunch, Satan chewed for a while in thought. One end was still smoldering, and as the Devil looked at it, his eyes flashed with an idea. Snapping his fingers, a beautiful Demoness appeared in a geyser of green flame. Whispering in her ear, Old Scratch outlined a few directions to her, and she left in another burst. Within a minute, she was back, holding a glowing object in her hands. She stepped over to Jack.
“This is a ember from the deepest, hottest part of my Realm. As long as you have it, you’ll never be cold, and you’ll always have light. Don’t expect me to do anything like this again, though. Just this once for old times.”
“I understand, you big red softy. Now lass, let me say, if you ever get tired of mucking about down here, come up top some time and we’ll make a night of it, yes?”
The Demoness smiled, showing an remarkable set of fangs, and nodded towards Satan, “Only if it’s all right with my Father.”
Jack never ran that fast when he was alive.

Next Time: Who Knows Where He’ll Turnip Next! or, Pumpkins? What a Bright Idea!

Is it just me, or is it that everytime I refresh the page, kingklash’s post keeps getting longer?

I stopped drinking milk and eating yogurt at age 4. I never had a bowl of cereal with milk. It’s nasty people. I blame Kellogs. He invented cereal and his brother turned it into a buisness. Hmm, let’s add milk to this and make it wet! Brilliant! Bastards. Wedge wedgie

I’ve had both yogurt blast cheerios, kind of like the strawberry. So far as I can tell the vanilla is just a rip off frosted cheerios though and basically tastes the same. I got nothin’ against yogurt in general, but eating it out of a tube might feel a little odd. On the subject of cereal, I can’t find any of the big three anywhere. Which is really disappointing because I wanted to get at least one. I have seen cocoa crispies and froot loops getting into the spirit though and adding marshmellow body parts.

I force myself to eat yogurt because it’s good for me, but I hate it, and am even more grossed out by the thought of it in a tube. Feeling very gross about it at the moment.
*kak*

For Halloween I’m helping my friends with a halloween party for some three-year-olds that will be the coolest party around, then I’ll drive home and be depressed that I live in an apartment building where no children/uncostumed teenagers can find me.

Meh, Halloween. I was really excited about my costume, I was going to be Jesus (I’m a girl, and I’m not christian, so it wasn’t meant that way, it was meant more in the "dead Jesus" kind of way". But then Hurricane Katrina happened, sending me to California. So now I only know a few people, and they’re all going to "lets get totally sloshed on a Monday night" parties, and I a) have to drive half an hour home and b) have a 7 am class the next day that I can’t miss. So yeah, I haven’t even gotten materials for my costume because I can’t see the point

Hi,all! Haven’t posted in a while but wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween! Get sloshed and eat candy til you puke - what a holiday. Smooches.

Ha ha! Tube.
Now this is the part where I threadjack and tell a story that none of you will care about. Ever seen a windfarm? Great big windmills, generators, that sort of thing? Well, the basic point of wind farms is that you put them on top of mesas in the middle of nowhere. The sort of places nobody would ever want to go anywhere. But some of the insane girls I hang around have wanted to hike out there and look at them up close since we came to college. Today, they finally got their wish.
By the way, they didn’t tell me where we were going until I actually saw the wind farm in the distance and put it all together.
So I just got back from a six-hour forced march through the most godforsaken terrain this side of Mordor. My feet feel like…well, the feet of a guy who has just been on a six-hour forced march through blah blah.
But in their defense, we did come back with one startling revelation. Those windmills are really freakin’ huge. Like, much bigger than you’re thinking. And they’re also spinning much faster than they seem to be from the highway. And they make seriously keen noises while they’re doing it.
So while I’m in far too much pain to say that I’m glad I went, I’m not entirely pissed. Which is notable, considering the group I did it with. That time they guilted me into running a marathon at noon in July in Corpus Christi? Entirely pissed.
Now I’m going to go search for "Big ass" just for the joy of seeing XE pop up on the search results. Who else is with me? C’mon, don’t be shy, raise your hands.

Holy shit guys, I just hit one of the High Level Mcdonalds Monopoly games. No Joke.

Just got done watching the last of VH1 3D. I found it odd that Harry Anderson appeared in segments in it, but nothing on Night Court. That’s a great show and certainly deserves more recognition than Unsolved Mysteries. I do miss the Noid though.

Damn Matt(#2), I don’t know if I want to buy twelve Big Macs or choke you… Congrats *shakes fist*

I have no idea what I’ll be doing for Halloween. It depends on my schedule at the grocery store. If I don’t work too late, I’ll probably go over to my parents’ house and see my little nephew go trick-or-treating for the first time. Other than that, I’ll just watch Ghostbusters or Charlie Brown and listen to the Broadway "Phantom of the Opera." (Yes, I like some of Andew Lloyd Webber’s shows…and I don’t have much else that’s appropriate for the holiday.)

I love yogurt. I eat a ton of it. I’ve never tried Go-Gurt, though. It’s expensive and seldom on sale.

Gozer, my sweetie would be so jealous! I promised to get him a gorilla suit for Halloween, we shopped for one, and then it just didn’t come to fruition. I’m not going to tell him you got one. Salt in wounds sort of thing.

And Matt#2, my sweetie would be so jealous! I promised to get him a prize-winning Big Mac, we ordered one, and then the prize just didn’t come to fruition. I’m not going to tell him you got one. Salt in wounds sort of thing.

According to Hurley from Lost, your life will be miserable now, but what does he know. What’re you thinking of getting with that bundle?

Every month my site generates a couple of searches for "child hardcore." That one always disturbs me. I get all kinds of crazy off-the-wall stuff from "hair washing" to "songs about having fun."

Ooooohhh I just put on my 3-D glasses and I can see the last pic of the 3-D monster cards in real 3-D. Oooohhh… now I need to find more fun 3-d pics online….

Lisa Marie you likea da Lords of Acid? Me too!! Praga = cool. Jade 4U = HOTT. O.Adams = whowhat? j/k.

Kellogg created Corn Flakes to discourage masturbation, just as Graham did with his crackers. Dead serious, check it out for yourself.

I have to go to the source of all that is pure and right in the universe: Keanu told us it was alright in Parenthood. hahahaha

No, I’m not that insane. But for levity’s sake, I have to reference Carlin’s bit on Joe Pesci.

~I pray to Joe Pesci, it’s just like with God: sometimes I get what I want, sometimes I don’t~

kidneyboy — Yeah, Lords of Acid is pretty awesome. I was introduced to their music in an interesting way. But I’m nowhere near cool enough to have seen them in concert. I think my heart might stop. *wink*
knegative — I love telling unsuspecting cereal eaters about Kellogg and Graham and their grain/porridge fetishes. That’s some messed up shit!

Well, the gorilla suit is pretty boss, but for the record it’s really hot and the hair gets everywhere.
Speaking of the costume, I went to a costume party last night and I wanted to wait a while before I revealed my true identity but the hosts got scared that I could’ve been some sort of weirdo who just wandered into the party so they got sort of freaked out and made me show myself. Oh well - I probably woulda had to take that mask off soon anyway.

I had a few minutes to kill, so I headed into this out of the way comic book store that I never bother going in to anymore…I was checking for Sin City books but they didn’t have any, so I got The Dark Knight Returns even though I’m not really a Batman fan…I’m on my way to check out with my purchase and what do I see but the very magazine I’ve been teased for looking for in every grocery store in town…Toyfare #100!!! Yup, when I’d just about given up, I finally found it. If I could only find the one with the Reno figures article…
Target has swapped out the Jones Halloween sodas for a new holiday pack with new flavors! Green bean cassie has been replaced with brussel sprouts!

That’s the true holiday beverage spirit. I was slightly disappointed by the more "normal" flavors for Halloween (i.e. the fruit flavors).

I believe there is also some herb stuffing soda added to the mix. There will of course be an article.

Turkey And Gravy, Cranberry, Brussels Sprouts, Pumpkin Pie, and Herb Stuffing. Sounds…amazing.

And, uh…last post, but I had to share this. Found it in my search for new soda flavors.

There’s new Thanksgiving Jones Soda?! Yikes. I hope I can finally get THIS pack, missing out last year’s bounty (but the next best thing, I got Matt’s review greenlit on Fark).

I don’t suspect that this year’s Holiday Pack will be anywhere near as sought as last year. That’s not a knock. It’s just impossible. I never did tell the story of how I got mine last year. :) Since three of the flavors are repeats, many hardcore collectors already have them. They’ll get ‘em again, but they won’t hoard 15 cases like they did last year.

Not trying to hog space, but just a show of appreciation to the X. Just a one-time thing, as soon as its outta my system, it’ll be out for good. A tip of the mask to Matt, for leaving the chapters up when he doesn’t have to. Might I refer new posters to the "Tell Me A Story" thread from last summer, I think? That was a great example of the general mindset of X-E. One chapter left, and that’s it for the un-needed long posts.

If I were young enough to trick or treat I would go ad Billy Budd, because we read that in my Lit class, but then again, if I were that young I wouldn’t be in this Lit class.

Me and a friend of mine are getting people to go to his house and watch a bunch of Halloween Simpsons and later Night of the Living Dead and maybe other movies. Just three more days and I won’t feel so guilty about being this excited about Christmas.

P.S.: Click on my name for a link to the picture of the monster cards that works.

I want my saturday night thread!!! Well I guess its a little too warly for that seeing as its 5:15 PM EST but its close enough…!!!

Hahahaha! I can just imagine the 40 people that searched "big ass" and saw a hit on a site called X-Entertainment. They click that link and get…. forgotten Star Wars heros!

That’s quite interesting. You can visit the mentioned site for free blogs and have a great blogging experience.
