What’s cooking?

Well HELLO there!

First off, thanks to everyone who posted their kind words in the previous thread (and via e-mail) about all of the Halloween coverage on the site. I got a little depressing towards the end, but it was all a lot of fun and part of a continuing learning experience on how to bring the most to the site with the more limited time I have these days.

Just wrapped a major project at work that's been keeping me there late, up late and all in all late. Everything looks good, and it's got a pretty interesting footnote to it. I'll show you all the completed spot this weekend.

It might interest you to know that the article on deck is a review of the 2005 Jones Soda Holiday Pack, complete with three new flavors sure to make my unsuspecting taste-test victims sick. This year's offering hasn't lit the world on fire to anywhere near the level that last year's did, but I guess, if you've seen one turkey soda, you've seen them all. With a few other articles planned to be sprinkled in, I can also promise a new Macy's Thanksgiving Parade review this month. A really good one, too, with commercials and all.

Beyond that, it'll then be time for X-E's 2005 Christmas season, featuring an all new Advert Calendar, and an all new Playmobil Advent Calendar that introduces a LEGO Advent Calendar to the mix. We'll see how that goes.

Sit tight.

Kb-I’ve never really liked parades, american football or pie. Well I like oreo pie I suppose. And I’ve never seen the Charlie Brown special. I’m a sheltered child, plotting, schemeing, watching the wheels on the bus go round and round. You know, a psychopath.

As a Native American let me say: We should have pushed the Pilgrims back into the ocean, Columbus was a dope, and Manifest Destiny was a crock. Aside from that, let’s get the family together and bring out the turkey!

On the subject of Drawn Together, I was looking away from the screen when the bit started, but when I looked back and saw their mouths, AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! The hell?!?! Even Ling-Ling!! That was about the second time a cartoon put a major skeeve on me. The other time was the Wilford Brimley/Bob Crane comment from Family Guy. At least I laughed at Stewie’s observation. DT, well, it has gotten better this time around. uh-huh, uh-huh, yup-yup-yup, uh-huh, in-ter-net, uh-huh, yup-yup.

Well. I think it should be a rule no to debate stuff like that here. Your both probably right (I know thats impossible) but the reason I come to this sight is to get away from shit. I know it’s important to stand what you believe in and there are alot of things about the past I dont agree with but, for shit’s sake,,look how we celebrate , Turkey, balls of stove top stuffing, parades with gigantic cartoon characters, football, tricking your little cousin to eating dog shit, and ditching your drunk family members to go see a movie-hey it’s something to do that day and I wouldnt have it any other way.

D-MAN- Calm down. I don’t dislike thanksgiving because of the Pilgrims. I just don’t see the point in it. The only holidays that I really celebrate are halloween and christmas. You get free stuff on those holidays and they are both really fun but thanksgiving, you eat food and watch tv. And what the shit is up with you typeing shit so much? My eyes can’t take reading shit like that. Why don’t you substitute shit with, oh I don’t know, titty biscuits? You thought I was going to type poop didn’t you.

Yes I did write the last comment to with "Ants go Marching" in the background..HuuuuRah.

Chestnuts roasted by D-MAN @ 11/05/2005 1:17 PM

Hey your right that was little excessive…my bad

Chestnuts roasted by D-MAN @ 11/05/2005 1:20 PM

Now now.

Maybe Darth Poop is right about Thanksgiving being born out of the blood of the original inhabitants of this land, and maybe D-Man is right about turkey being delicious. But for the love of god, would somebody please think of the children?

Darth- sorry if that sounded judgy, I was just trying to infuse some holiday cheer :)

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 11/05/2005 2:06 PM

Won’t somebody think of the giblets?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 11/05/2005 2:39 PM

Jesus tap danceing Christ on a pogo stick I don’t care people! Stop apologizing! I don’t take anything that anybody says on this website that seriously. To me X-e is just one big party. Lets get hammered and yell about Puritans people. Come on! You know what fuck this topic because today is "National Gravity Awareness Day" Activities include: dropping things onto the ground, watching things fall towards the earth, observing the tendency for most objects to not rise into the sky, and, everybody’s favorite, tossing a live turtle from the roof of the nearby 7-11. Look for exclusive coverage from Harris Nyler, if he ever returns from the bathroom.

Don’t forget to mention the Patron Saint of the High Fall, Wile E. Coyote!

WWHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooossssshhhh…… pow!

The Blog thread always seems to get a bit restless when Matt is away for too long…

Chestnuts roasted by D-Roc @ 11/05/2005 4:51 PM

I was just thinking that.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 11/05/2005 4:57 PM

I didnt say a Turkey was delicious M-Trox, (stove top sutffin balls are) I was the one who said we would trick little cousin into eating dog shit and young relatives ditch old drunk relatives late to catch a flick. Guess I was the only who did this.

Chestnuts roasted by D-MAN @ 11/05/2005 6:05 PM

Oh yeah-Thanksgiving is gunna be 10 times as good this year Broncos are playing-finally a game worth watchin on Thanksgiving!

Chestnuts roasted by D-MAN @ 11/05/2005 7:39 PM

Nice! Can’t wait!

Chestnuts roasted by J-Dog @ 11/08/2005 1:24 PM
