Cell phone pics & King Kong Twinkies.

In an unexpected twist and a sign of Hell freezing over, I've posted two new articles at the same time. Ooh ooh ah ah. First up, big globs of text and grainy images as I empty out the pictures from my cell phone camera and try to remember the whats and whys of their existence. Blah. Secondly, and much shorter, is my tribute to King Kong Banana Twinkies, from Hostess and apes.

Monday Edit: Did some light editing work on the cell phone pics article, and added a bonus section to the Kong Twinkies article. Because I could.

Wow, two updates in one shot. Totally worth actually coming out of my room to use the "family" computer. My X-E Update senses must have activated.

Makes me sort of wonder – if Kong actually did eat bananas – would he eat simply a very large bunch of bananas, or does Skull Island have a stash of simply really very huge bananas?

Truly this is a red letter day. Two for the price of one. What a value.

Man, all I kept doing when I read the cell phone pic article was "Hey, I remember the parrot fish!" or "I remember when Matt did all those articles on the Shrek stuff!" I also realized I must get into Philadelphia on a busy weekday morning. Like Matt, I am a homebody. Unlike Matt, I’ve never lived close to a major city. This is the first time I’ve been within shouting distance of a lot of people who aren’t just down for the summer, and I may take advantage of it. Actually, what I’d love to do is find a JOB in Philly, but let’s take in the city itself first.

Oh, and Matt, you have a pair of very cute kitties. I’m glad you took in Gray Cat, and Saturn’s a little doll. Not every cat gets to crawl around in discontinued Happy Meal containers.

Well, that’s just Kong-tastic.

I got my friend (the one that first sent me a link to this place) Sea Monkies on the Moon… Now I can’t wait for that article.

In my zeal to be the 7th person to post, I have yet to read the article.

#7! Highest yet!

Ah Crabtuff… When will you learn…

Your fish kick ass.

TWO articles to read at work tomorrow!? Thanks Matt! As the ancient aboriginies were known to say during their tribal dances, "You da man!"

Tonight on Wrestlemania they re-created the skit where the Million Dollar Man offered money to a kid to bounce a basketball 12 times, only to kick it away the last time. But this time it was Eugene he did it to. Thought it was funny that I just read about that in the thead where Matt bought the Million Dollar Belt.

Two articles? Thank you Matt. Thank you.

This is completely random, but I’ve always thought you had cool sideburns, Matt. I can’t grow any, so I’m envious. ha

Wow, Holy Updates, Mattman!

I, too, was reminiscing during the cell phone article! It was great when those fish showed up! And the Shrek stuff, man I’m glad we’re all done with that shit!

I really wish I had a Twinkie right now, but I don’t. I do have 2 Reese’s Big Cups, so those should do the trick!

Revenge of the Sith crazy hey? You wouldn’t have any Clone Troopers you might be willing to sell would ja? (Yeah, I’m that clone crazed to ask Matt of XE for them…)

Wow, two articles!

Loved the cell phone pics. It was a nice walk through X-E memory lane…

Matt,

What’s interesting is that Twinkies were originally banana-flavored anyway. They cut out the bananas in WWII since there were in short supply due to the war effort, which is how we got the Twinkie we know today. So really, these Kong Twinkies are just a return to the way Twinkies originally.

The more you know…

Kong Twinkies, Oh yes they can kick Charlie and the Chocolate factory Wonka cakes’ ASS! http://www.hostesscakes.com/wonka.html

Enjoyed the Cell Phone photos.

Since I’m the first one to mention it, I’ll assume that I’m the first to find it. Freddy music rocks.

Also, Matt, the part about your cats made me happy on the inside. You should post some pictures of the Gray Cat that aren’t taken with a crappy camera phone.

Always happy to see fresh pickins’ here on X-E. By the way…has anybody else seen the trailer for the upcoming "Silent Hill" movie? Holy jeez…creepy.

Loved the cell phone pics. Camera/phones may be the greatest invention. This weekend I was at the Mall of America and there was an Elvis competition, and if it weren’t for my cell, I would not have a picture of an 8 year old elvis in a gold jumpsuit.

Dude, articles like that cellphone camera pics one are the reason I love XE as much as I do. Well, one of the reasons. I also love Cookie Puss.

I’ve noticed a couple people mention their appreciation of Grey Cat. I also enjoyed hearing about Grey Cat’s spoiled yet beat-down filled existence. It’s almost like he is the ying-yang in animal form.

Chestnuts roasted by TC Falcon @ 04/03/2006 10:52 AM

Do I smell a Grey Cat/Ghost with the Most crossover?

No?

Fair enough.

Thanks for the articles. Despite the fact that it was your "April Fools joke," I really dug that cell phone pics article. And…ape twinkies. ‘Nuff said.

Must…. not…. make…. King Kong…. Twink…. joke. Will…. strong…. urge…. stronger. Mybrainsabouttoexplode.
*Ka-sploosssshh!*

Just great, there go my Pac-Man skills.

I think I may have nightmares after hearing Freddy sing "Wooly Bully." It’s entirely possible that he committed brutal atrocities against Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.
