Oh, that was why Greymatter had a brain fart and wouldn’t let me post yesterday. Twas the Debbil whut did it. Aw, he’s just mad over that story I told at Hallowe’en. Did every one have a nice Beezilbubapalooza? I had a Ba’al! Just a Nick here and a Scratch there. Actually, just spent time Satan around the house.

I celebrated 666 by watching "The Devil’s Rejects." It was ok.
I am interested in how the Rob Zombie "Halloween" will turnout.

kingklash: Bravo. I think that one almost gave me a nosebleed.

I was on my way to jam to some Iron Maiden thanks to the Yeti’s post, but now I have to dig up some tapes with matches involving the Natural Disasters. Tag team wrestling will never be the same. We’ll miss you John.

Very sad, John Tenta was always entertaining, no matter what character he was playing. Golga was certainly the only good thing about the Oddities. RIP ‘Quake.

I wasn’t born on the day, but I was like two weeks old when Chernobyl happened (and in Austria). My mom says she freaked out for a while because I was so little. Friend of mine was born on the actual day, but in New Mexico, so the effects were a bit dissapated by the time they reached him
Jedoc and trajeal are wise men indeed for the Good Omens love. It’s a great book, and one of the only ones I could think of where a comparison to the Hitchhiker’s Guide series is actually valid.
I’ve still got a copy of American Gods I’ve got to read, though. I should really read more often, but right now…well, Kingdom Hearts II is just more tempting.
Also, I’m sure this has been mentioned in a blog’s comments section before, but I saw The Garbage Pail Kids Movie at Wal-Mart for cheap (I want to say $7.50, but I don’t remember hte price) and on DVD. I’m almost tempted to buy it, but I know those kids would give me nightmares. Them costumes are TERRIFYING.

American Gods was meh. Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved mythology, but that book felt a little directionless and gratuitously disgusting.
So is Sam Raimi going to totally fuck up The Wee Free Men? People need to stop trying to adapt Pratchett’s work because it makes me angry.

scary!
Chestnuts roasted by WalkingSnake @ 06/08/2006 1:18 AM
Paul…it doesn’t matter how much it is, or how much it would scare you, the kids, the cats, or the neighbors…you MUST buy that movie!
Seriously, the kids are kinda gross looking, but in a more ridiculous, unbelievable, "Howard the Duck" way.
And oooohh, that Tangerine!
anyway, it’s not a GREAT cinematic masterpiece…okay, it’s pretty bad, and actually kind of hard to watch too…but it’s the fucking GPK movie!! Buy that shit before someone else does!! Buy two!!
I’m still saving up for the cartoon DVD set, aw yeah!

it’s all for you, matt!

Welsh Rabbit: I agree. While American Gods was interesting, it’s the least fun Gaiman book I’ve found so far. I much prefer Anansi Boys, so far as mythology goes. Of course, I’ve always been a sucker for trickster gods.
Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 06/08/2006 8:02 AM
I hope I’m not disappointing the Gaiman and pratchet fans out there, but I never got all the way through Good Omens.
I’ve tried twice, altough I may have been in non-reading moods. Grabbign a random book for byus trips does that I guess, and it suffered that fate.
I’ve gotten lectures from my wife and quite a few Indigo workers over this.

Earthquake was the man! Was he really golga? R.I.P. John Tenta.
Paul: Kingdom Hearts II was great! Finished it about a month ago. If I wasn’t playin the new (old) grand theft auto I’d probably play it again.
Anybody excited about the return of ECW?
Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/08/2006 1:13 PM
Oh yea almost forgot, didn’t howard the duck bang the chick from back to the future? I mean I know they didn’t show the full on hardcore duck on girl action, but it was pretty much implied wasn’t it?
Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/08/2006 1:16 PM
Expecting Someone Taller by Tom Holt. Great story of some poor shmendrick gaining the Niebilung and Tarnhelm. Also by the same author, Flying Dutch. Find out how much fun it is to watch a sailor cursed with immortality try to commit suicide.
Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 06/08/2006 4:31 PM
yeah, they got it on. that movie made me… uncomfortable.
Chestnuts roasted by bitchpants @ 06/08/2006 4:36 PM
I second that discomfort, and third it as well.
Though after watching a documentary on killer whales last night, I’m way more uncomfortable thinking about being stuck in a pool with one or just innocently swimming…something bumps against your leg…you look down and HOLY SHIT it’s a killer whale.
This is how I’d spend the summer when I was little, freaking out in the pool.
My husband contends that he’d rather be surprised by a killer whale than a school of harmless herrings.

the garbage pail kids movie, howard the duck perversion.. let’s face it, the 80s was a really f*cked up decade. i love it tho
i’m looking forward to the rob zombie halloween too.. i can imagine some fans will prob b outraged or whatever, but the last what, 7 halloweens haven’t exactly been cinematic gems anyway.
Chestnuts roasted by doc bong @ 06/08/2006 8:59 PM
Jedoc: Thanks, I haven’t heard any details about Anansi Boys. I should give it a try.
Did anyone buy the new double edition hardback of Good Omens? The inside book is the same, but the covers are different and one highlights Pratchett, the other one highlights Gaiman. It would take a crazy collector to get both just to make them match, but we’re all kinda crazy collectors, right?
