100 min since the last post…looks like people took tonight off. Summer for me is going to be a 5-day weekend in July to go to Florida for the girlfriend’s family reunion. Looking fwd to that, as well as the ragtop rental car. Other than that, it’s slaving for the MAn, taking the C line t owork each day. Such is I.

Looks like the doh-mani curse struck again. At least it was not both our faults this time, dohopki.

Matt, you S.O.B., thanks to you I watched Heartbeeps yesterday. It wasn’t that bad at all just pointless. John Williams doing the music and Stan Winston doing the make-up lend the project a lot more credibility than it should have.
Bottom line: Robot movies do not compute.

I spent last night protesting The DaVinci Code with a couple of friends of mine (not that we care, mind you. We did it just because we though it would be an interesting experience). The protestors, though a little fanatical, are absolutely nice people. My sign: The DaVinci Code? More like the DUMB-Vinci Code.

y’all know it’s BITNERMAS!!!!

I didn’t have anything interesting to add last night! I should have posted to mention about how the Dad from Little People, Big World bragged about being an Ewok in "one of the Star Wars movies" but I checked the credits and it wasn’t Return of the Jedi, if you catch my drift. It’s still cool as hell, actually. Now I’m watching the "Geeks, Freaks & Sidekicks" ep of Child Star Confidential because I wanted the skinny on the kid from Dick Tracy…child actors do NOT have it easy. Nothing will ever soften my dislike of Dustin Diamond, though.
Sad to hear about your pets, Mystie.

Manimal – If you are really going to Antietam, you will be right down the road from me. :)

Ryan – Sounds like my summer. Maybe it’s a curse on our names or something?

J. Gatz – We have the same livejournal layout. :o You’ll have to take my word on it, since I don’t really wanna post the link. :D

Holy crap! I had no idea it was Bitnermas. And me without all my unreleased He-man toys.

Chestnuts roasted by Bludge @ 05/21/2006 1:27 PM

Hey Manimal, next time you want to want to avoid our curse, get everyone to talk about lotion. Worked for me ;)

I’ll be going to Ireland for a family wedding in August. I’m the oldest of 18 cousins on my mom’s side, but since they’re all in the UK and my brother and I are in the US, we never get to see them. So that’ll be nice, especially now that it’s been 4 years since we were last over there. A few more of them will have crossed that threshold between annoying, time-wasting child and moderately interesting adult you can actually have a conversation with.

dohopoki: I remember the lotion thread. Good times. Good times. I mean, I still don’t use lotion, partly because I’m a guy and partly because my skin is naturally as soft and silky-smooth as the inside of your mom’s purse, but good times nevertheless.

Tonight being the last Sopranos is contributing powerfully to the Sunday funk. Next week will be worse, I suppose. Thankfully there’s always X-E…I’ve already read the Double Dragon, Rainbow Brite and Popples articles. As a completely superfluous aside, I was also reading some old archives from another site in a similar vein as X-E and they don’t hold up near as well. X-E archives improve with age :)

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 05/21/2006 6:09 PM

Has anyone ever mentioned that the seemingly anonymous kid on the back of the Rainbow Brite cereal was Brian, the only person on earth who can see Rainbow as evidenced in Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (1985)?

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 05/21/2006 6:35 PM

Summer plans? Must be effin’ nice. Once I close on my house I’m spending my entire effin’ summer priming every wall of my new house because the current owners are craetons who watch "Trading Spaces" way too much. A black bedroom. Need I say more?

Oh, yeah. And drinking in my white-trash-o-rific $200 Wal-Mart pool next to my goldfish pond.

Chestnuts roasted by LemurCat @ 05/21/2006 9:14 PM

My biggest regret is that I left off an "o" on the dohO-mani curse. That entire post was filled with little errors now that I look back on it.
Ryane,I will be a big, "HELLO RYANE" when I reach the Dunkard Church. :)
DUMB-Vinci Code shouldn’t be funny but it is!

Manimal — you’ll love Antietam. Went when I was in college with my Civil War prof. Great trip, better than Gettysburg. Great museum and visitor center. Go down to Harper’s Ferry if you get a chance too, give you a good feel for the Light Division’s force march. Oh, and check out the huge photo when you walk into the visitor’s center. It’s a reproduction of the only photo of the AONV on the march.

Just got back from Florida visiting my brother. We went canoeing in this awesome spring and there were manatees there. It got me pretty pumped. Now I’m just hanging out until July, then going to Oxford for study abroad until August. Summer is cool.

There IS one more new Sopranos ep! I thought there was, but there being no ep next week threw me off. Awesome!

I graduated from college in December, and while I have a contractual job I am still looking for the big one. At least I have a part-time job to help me out, because contractual writing can be sporadic.

Also, I will be heading out to Baltimore in late July to catch the White Sox (Baltimore is the closest to Raleigh in terms of cities the team frequents in the AL). I might go to zoo in Washington also, I have been hearing lots about the new panda cub there.

Looking forward to another exciting hurricane season in Miami. Making some paper off of the post destruction lawn work. Working at a uniform store for private schools so I can get yelled at in Spanish by rich trophy wives driving Escalades.Probably hitting up South Beach occasionally, and occasionally walking through the nude section with my aviators on. Start clubbing now that I can vote.

hmmmm. I guess its not going to be too bad, its wierd growing up in a place where everyone else wants to vacate to. Everyone my age can’t wait to leave to college.

Looks like HBO’s taking Memorial Day weekend off… then shows end, but THEN June 11th is the perfect storm of HBO shows. Deadwood and Entourage come back, and Lucky Louie and Tourgasm premiere.

It’s enough to make me forgive HBO for pushing back Deadwood. Oh, HBO… you know I can’t stay mad at you, baby.

Chestnuts roasted by Welsh Rabbit @ 05/21/2006 11:35 PM

Dumb as it is at times, I’m eager for new Entourage…and Tourgasm is sure to be kickass. When does new Extras come back? Just caught the Simpson’s ep that Ricky Gervais wrote…Pretty funny, especially the song.
Saw some Superman edition Life cereal at the store, plus some Cap’n Crunch as well.

Through the magic of YouTube, I have found the My Little Apocalypse Pony clip from last sunday’s Robot Chicken, not to mention most of the other awesome sketches, like tonight’s FF7 burger store sketch.

Another great one from tonight that’s sure to pop on this site and ours: Senior Mutant Ninja Turtles

"I just cowabunga’d in my pants!"

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 05/22/2006 1:46 AM

Ah, Robot Chicken. How happy you make me. Numa numa numa.

There’s this emo kid I work with that’s convinced children today would be better if they had more Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters. My office is the best ever… except someone stole my Birdie magnet. :(
