Hooray for rotten weeks ending with a please-God-let-it-be-good weekend. This here's your all day, all night Saturday Thread. If anyone's around, that is.
Yeah, the Starburst tastes a bit off.
The 3 Musketeer shake, on the other hand, is great.

Just as a Reminder: Tonight’s SNL is the Best of TV Funshouse, hosted by Ace & Gary.
So what segments do you think will or should be on it?
Me, I sure damn hope that either last ep’s The Disney Vault and/or Conspiracy Theory Rock appear on it.

jazzy, they still make Dunkaroos. Although, they have a new (less cool) kangaroo mascot. Instead of a cool safari get-up like the original, he’s wearing a sweater that looks as though it was crocheted for him by grandma. Maybe I’m making that up.
I was just in the cereal/snack aisle agonizing over which cereal to buy. Why did all of the mascots change? Argh.

I miss Giggles cookies. They had faces on them.

I hate how Cookie Crisp has that stupid wolf mascot now. Why would a wolf love cookies? Even if I like the idea of a wolf eating cookies, which now that I think about it I might, it’s still a dumb mascot change. They didn’t even come up with a new name for him, they just slapped him with Chip. Chip was the dog, and I’m not going to forget it.

I just picked up 100 vhs movies made in 1980 to 1989 all with original movies,tv shows and the best part is they all have their commercials! Man it will take forever to go through them all.

Are my friends right? Is it truly sad to read an internet blog while getting plastered by yourself? I think they’re wrong and simply don’t understand my plush lifestyle. Oh yeah, I have the Lightning vs. Sens hockey game on as well. Rock star baby, rock star…

Matt, your website is amazing. Keep it up yo-

I’m doing another rewatch on last week’s Sopranos, because Artie’s ass rape meltdown is still incredibly amusing and it’s been an off day. How long before Tony’s back to his old habits? As soon as I heard that Julianna Margulius (sp) was cast I figured she’d be a love interest, and that’s certainly the way they played it in the previews but those editors are tricksy.

Thanks Joker…stick around!
Squee, yes, you know, Artie episodes aren’t so popular, but this one did it for me.

I went out to my holylands today after work. I got lots of goodies! I saw the biggest ugliest Raphael figure I ever saw, and was totally gonna buy it, but not $8 gonna buy it. But I got about the gayest pair of Batman Safety Scissors from 1973. Also a Max Headroom notebook! I was considering getting an old Vader Wilton cake pan they had…. but I decided I’d leave it there for a more deserving fan.
Anyway, I’m gonna go introduce my cat to Super Soaker Man. WHEE FUN!

The ep had everything going for it. It’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly what is was, but there was something about it that was really old school/classic. Maybe it’s the supersized dose of Artie, or Christopher’s movie dreams, or just the fact that Tony’s becoming his old self again, or a bit of everything, I dunno. Can’t wait for the new one, though I’m not particularly eager for it to be Sunday night.
Bludge: I sure hope not

Definitely a filler ep, but with good filler.
I’m in the mood for a movie tonight. I really need to stop buying DVDs of things I’ve seen 10,000 times and start buying stuff that’ll feel new.

You could always join the Shatner DVD Club. Mmm Shatner!

Maybe, or maybe I could get roasted and watch Pikachu’s Winter Vacation.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 04/29/2006 10:12 PM
You mean get roasted from watching Pikachu’s Winter Vacation?
Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 04/29/2006 10:17 PM
I was thinking of watching one of the Friday the 13ths. But I’m too lazy to go rent it now.
Chestnuts roasted by Hey I'm Jeff @ 04/29/2006 10:18 PM
I bought a really old cell phone today, I don’t know what to do with it. But, it was 99 cents. A total impulse item.
Is anyone watching Flight 93, and how is it?
I was actually considering going out clubbing tonight, but I must be getting old because I’m too tired now. That whole getting smashed and watching Pokemon thing sounds kinda nice… cept all my Pokemon videos are in the garage and that’s a long walk. Maybe I’ll watch Sailor Moon instead.

I was off today, thank the good lord because it was my ONLY day off this week. Everyone once again took the same week for vacation and left the Acme short of help. Good for my paycheck, bad for my sanity.
I didn’t do much today – spent most of it in a library and riding around Haddon Township – but after working for most the week, that’s definately a good thing.

Does Reeces still make their PB in jars? That’s something that’s somewhat tough to find now.
While it’s still made, Lays "The Works" chips are also getting harder to find.

Double G, I love that eBay auction. Especially the serving suggestion!
The food I miss from childhood is Jello 1-2-3. If you don’t know about it, it was something you mixed up just like Jello, and as it set it separated into 3 layers. The bottom layer was basically Jello, and the top one was a delicious foamy mousse-like confection, and the middle layer tasted weird and had the consistency of human flesh. But I loved that stuff anyway.
I can’t watch that one Pokemon movie about the elemental islands without giggling when they talk about how they need to go to "Fire Island". Ha!

Too lazy to go find my screen name and password for AICN, and I’m not going through the sign in process. This is in response to the Transformers article over there with Michael Bay. I’m going to talk about stuff that was in their article, so I’m going to throw out a spoiler warning here…..
Ok..first they mention Shea Lebouf’s first car is going to be a 70′s car, and of course, a Transformer. Now the second biggest question about this movie I’ve heard is how they’ll do Soundwave, since you can’t have a tape recorder and tapes in this day and age of iPod’s and MP3′s. I think the vehicles/alternate mode will come from the 70′s when a tape recorder and tapes would be perfectly normal… hence the first car being a 70′s. I think the article gave too much away there.
My second thoughts concern taking away Prime’s mask to give him more emotion. It also involves casting the original voice actors, and having to give the Transformers more than glowing eyes, and more realistic eyes to convey emotion…
It makes perfect sense to cast the original voice actors (when possible, I would love Christoper Latta and Scatman Caruthers to be in this, but, well, if you’re still with me, you know why they’re not in this), because they can put the emotion in their voice! They did it before, they sold glowing blue and red eyes before, and they’re professionals at it!
I’m not against change, and I can see some of the logic behind it, I just think it needs to be thought through a little bit more. Than again, I’m not the one who has to sell this to Hollywood as a blockbuster movie either.
Thanks for listening to me.

Wow, it is an honor to be an actual part of the SNT. Never been around for this and believe it or not today I started getting into the Halloween spirit. I just received a few skulls and I am working on some new props for my yard haunt.
