Aside from today’s entries that will be posted TODAY, the Advent and Advert Calendars are finally up to date! On the Advent side, we’ve got some sticky Santa situations mucking up what should’ve been a righteous celebration after Waiterbot’s defeat, and no, I have absolutely no idea how it’s going to end up. On the Advert side, old commercials from Radio Shack, Burger King, Little Debbie and beyond all conspire to make your holiday season just a weeeee bit more Christmassy. Hope you’re digging it.
What’s probably going to end up being the highlight of my 2005 Christmas season is up above. The He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special is out now on DVD! Holy shit, I’d repeat it but you just read it and whatever but just know that it bears repeating. I’m glad I finally gave up on trying to be a VHS guy for no other reason than the fact that I had such a big VHS collection, because I just can’t believe the amount of awesome shit coming out on DVD. This one just takes the cake. It’s really cheap, too — so cheap that I was expecting a bare bones affair. This is anything but a bare bones affair. First off, the box has that weird 3D etching that makes He-Man and friends seem ever so slightly like they’re going to jump off and eat me, and secondly and thirdly and fourthly are the insane amount of special features, ranging from commentaries to a music video. This one’s a keeper, a beautiful, beautiful keeper. Click here to read my old shoddy review of the only cartoon in history featuring a goody-version of Skeletor, or better yet, buy the damn DVD!
I’m a sucker for candy canes, nyuk nyuk nyuk. While I actually do prefer the original minty canes above all else, I can’t resist trying out the many thousand new candy canes on the market meant to taste like specific, popular candies. I’ve had everything from Spree candy canes to Hershey’s Chocolate candy canes, but if I had to make my bid and spend the rest of my life with one and only one brand, I think I’d have to go with Starburst. Jesus Mary are these things goooood.

I absolutely love Advent Day 22. I swear, that’s completely made the fact that my actual Christmas is going to suck donkey balls not seem so important anymore. Adorable. I have warm fuzzies.
Matt I would totally buy you the leg lamp if Amazon sent it in the the same crate as on the movie.
Sorry for the excess posting, I am getting pre-holiday fits of restlessness.
