06/11/2006: Everything to do with apples.

Got busy, so it’s going to be a few more days before Disney Part 2. In a disastrous move, I’ll try to tide you over with a new Kool-Aid review, knowing full well that this replacement is akin to that episode where the crowd was expecting a Chipmunks concert and booed the holy fuck out of the Chipettes. Today’s featured flavor: Candy Apple.

In other news, some may remember the Shrunken Head Apple Project article from 2003, and the subsequent blog update from June, 2005. It’s been just about a year since we last heard from Mr. Apple, and indeed, he’s still kicking ass.

So yes, even after all these years, the Shrunken Head Apple dude hasn’t disintegrated and hasn’t once been infested with gnats. He just keeps getting cooler and cooler with age, like a wine or a cheese or a something else. Yes. Okay, back to writing about Disney…see you.

That could get confusing.

I avoided Napo Dyna for a long while based on the inanity of the promos so I’m taking the Nacho ones with a grain of salt. Congrats on getting to see it early, Fox.
I just bought my tickets to go see Pirates at the El Capitan theater (they do a bit of a stage show and have lots of goodies for all the Disney releases) on opening night. The good tix (and then all the tix) sold out for the midnight show so I’m going to the newly added 3 am showtime. Got some great seats for it, now my only worry is I might be seeing the movie with obsessofans who saw the midnight show and stuck around to see it again and "prelaugh" all the jokes.

Muppet Baby’s clone, you have just talked me out of seeing Nacho Libre. I honestly can’t see how anyone can stand Napoleon Dynomite.

I must be the only person left on this planet that hasn’t seen Napolean Dynamite. Well, me and some poor street urchins in India or Brazil.

Ghosted by LemurCat @ 06/14/2006 3:51 PM EDT

LemurCat: I haven’t seen Napolean Dynamite yet either. That’s mainly due to my buddy telling me it sucked.

What was the deal with ECW being on the SciFi channel anyways? Am I the only one who doesn’t get that?

Ghosted by Deuce @ 06/14/2006 4:22 PM EDT

Deuce, I’m guessin the USA network owns sci-fi so they put it on there. Doesn’t really make much sense to me either. Lets hope they don’t have anymore zombie type characters.

And I’m sorry everyone but I must admit……..I actually enjoyed napolean dynamite. I won’t say its my favorite movie of all time but it was kinda funny.

Ghosted by PRSense @ 06/14/2006 4:48 PM EDT

SciFi is owned by USA Networks, and it looks like they needed a place to put ECW, and decided that they had only one other high-profile channel to shunt it to. Even geeks and nerds enjoy some wrasslin’ from time to time.

(and yes, "wrasslin’" is considered the proper familiarity by the old school players and announcers. listen to your elders.)

Ghosted by kingklash @ 06/14/2006 4:48 PM EDT

Ahhh…. Now it all becomes clear. I forgot that USA owned SciFi and ECW.

In all honesty, I was kind of glad to see ECW on TV at all. It’s been awhile, and I quit watching WWF when they "got the f out".

Call me crazy, but I think I’m starting to miss WCW!

Ghosted by Deuce @ 06/14/2006 5:10 PM EDT

No way!!! Ultimate Warrior burned wrestling into my head forever as a child. WWE is just getting good now anyways. DX has returned. Degeneration X, is at least interesting enough to keep me glued to my TV set on Monday and Friday nights. Not to mention that mexican guy who "manages" Umaga cracks my shit up.

I haven’t seen Napolean Dynamite, either, and I really have no desire to.

OMG it’s Vegan Mike! Holy crap, where have you been? :D

Ghosted by Ryane @ 06/14/2006 7:00 PM EDT

I’m an unabashed fan of catchphrases, so Dynamite was amusing for me once I got past my reservations and watched it. There are plenty of recent movies (Shaun of the Dead, 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, off the top of my head) that are actually funnier though. Is it too early to start pining for the Tenacious D movie?

Ghosted by squee4242 @ 06/14/2006 7:40 PM EDT

Yeah, Napolean Dynamite was NOT what I expected based on the hype. We watched it on an illegal copy we bought on the streets in Seoul, and it took me 2 viewings before I liked it. Once you accept the fact that nothing actually happens and enjoy it for what it is- a look in the life of these strange characters- then it can be appreciated.

I am SO GLAD to see both ECW and DX back- thank god! Maybe now we will see some actual wrestling and better storylines!

Ghosted by Muppet Baby (The Original) @ 06/14/2006 8:46 PM EDT

You paid for an illegal copy? I thought that they invented the internet so that people wouldn’t have to do that anymore.

BTW, speaking of illegal copies. You never got back to me about those Serenity comics. I still have the scans. Send me an e-mail if you still need them. jeff@playervsfish.com

Ghosted by Jeff @ 06/14/2006 10:15 PM EDT

Well "Eeep-eeep" or "Yip-yip" those Sesame Street aliens scared the shite out of me.

Ghosted by Chris D. @ 06/15/2006 11:27 AM EDT

Hehe hi back Ryane! I’ve been overly busy with all kindsa stuff… finished my Master’s Degree, got into grad school for next year, might get into med school for next year (I should know tomorrow… eek!), got a med school application ready for ‘07… yeah, all that stuff. I’ve been reading X-E all the time, but for some stupid reason I stopped posting. I’m back now, though :)

Ghosted by Vegan Mike @ 06/15/2006 3:26 PM EDT

off topic, but i just found my complete set of army ants toys. i’m strapped for cash right now so i’m tempted to put them up on e-bay. there’s only like 2 or 3 weapons missing so i’ts an almsot complete set. on the other hand, if i end up getting anything less than a hundred or so for it then i’ll be depriving myself of nostalgia for inadequate compensation. so the question goes to matt and the rest of you toy collecting odd people. is it worth it to auction them?

Ghosted by jon @ 06/16/2006 5:09 PM EDT

No. Do not sell your stuff. I sold all my Ninja Turtle, MOTU, and Voltron figures at a local Flea Market. I made some dough, but I really miss all that cool stuff and have regretted the decision ever since.

Ghosted by Old E @ 06/17/2006 10:07 AM EDT

oh, man, that poor apple looks like a mummy.

Ghosted by yelinna @ 06/19/2006 12:17 PM EDT

Movie companies release collectors dvd box sets….it would be cool if Kool-Aid would put out a special box containing one recreated packet each of every flavor they ever made. Maybe for their next 100 – 125 – 150th…whatever anniversary they’re nearest too.

Ghosted by Garrison @ 06/19/2006 2:16 AM EDT

i think the apple, in all its hilarity, looks like a cooked baby-christmas stocking with eyes…

Ghosted by Jessealot @ 06/26/2006 8:57 PM EDT

I’m making an apple head first thing tommorow.
Oh and that whole sublyminol message thing is ridiculous. Is there a hidden message in it or not. If so it’s not making me want a lymon.
Last week i bought a pack of trident gum that said it was made with xylitol. Its a new sugar substitute. I looked it up on wikipedia and found out the only bad thing it can do is give you the shits if you consume more than your supposed to. Just don’t give it to your dog.

Hi-C had The Jets pushing “Candy Apple Cooler” in 1986 – and they got me. I drank it every day during lunch in 3rd grade. I wonder how this Kool-Aid flavor compares to my beloved Candy Apple Cooler.
