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.

Man, he went from Doc Brown to zombie Beeker in just a few years. The eyes totally make it awesome.

This reminds me of that wonderful faygo product, candy-apple flavored soda. Mixed with Absolut Peppar and apple schnapps it made the best mixed drink ever.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Satanism @ 06/13/2006 7:31 PM

Wow, you STILL have the Apple? That thing always reminded me of Large Marge, too.

I use everything – Sweet ‘n Low, sugar, even honey – depending on what it’s being used in.

Candy Apple Kool Aid sounds so yummy, I’m surprised it didn’t stick around longer. I’ve had one candy apple. It tasted good, but that candy coating got too stuck in my teeth to want to try another one.

Fall? Heck, I’m just happy for it to be near summer in a place that isn’t being invaded by tourists. I’ll start thinking of fall when we get a little closer to August and September.

I like fall. Around here, that’s the magical time of the year when the asphalt stops bubbling.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 06/13/2006 10:14 PM

DeeJay –
That’s the most useful piece of information I’ve learned all day. Thanks.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 06/13/2006 10:21 PM

Oh God I loved the Yip Yip Yip monsters.

Jedoc – You never cease to make me laugh out loud. :D Yes, even over 2 sentences about autumn and asphalt bubbling.

Unrelated to apples, Kool-Aid, or Disney, I’ve been re-watching the new Battlestar Galactica on DVD. Really awesome stuff. If you haven’t been watching it because the cheese factor on the original series was so high, you’re doing yourself a disservice. This is sci-fi TV at it’s finest. On the other hand, a review of one of the original episodes by Matt would surely be hilarious, although it’s pop culture before his time.

Also unrelated to the current topic, I hate lawyers. If I took a car in for service and it didn’t get fixed, I would expect the shop to either reimburse me or try again for free. However, if my lawyer doesn’t get me out of my traffic ticket for my recent incident of sleep-driving, I’m still out what I pay him plus the fines and possible !jail time! that I could be stuck with. Pretty shady if you ask me.

That is all.

Bwahahahahaha! I haven’t been here in a while, but this site never lets me down. That apple is the GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! Thank you for a much needed laugh. (*actual tears fell when viewing this apple)

Did anyone see the ECW show on Sci Fi tonight?

There was a wrestler named The Zombie. He was a zombie. Sandman beat his ass with a kendo stick and dust flew everywhere.

It was awesome.

Matt, just in case you’ve never seen it…

Spaz307:

Agreed, New Battlestar Galactica is AWESOME…I just hate having to wait until October to see new ones. :(

Wow, The X-E Wiki has really grown since the last time I saw it…

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 06/14/2006 3:22 AM

GREAT SCOTT! Finding out about this Candy Apple Kool aid is shocking. It’s like finding out that … your adopted or something! This Matt is a very shocking revelation. How did you keep this under your hat for so long?

Chestnuts roasted by Jerry Horror @ 06/14/2006 3:37 AM

I don’t think south africa has kool-aid. We have some really gross substitutes Made In China, quite possibly.

Your fall (it’s "autumn", dammit) is our Spring in the south, so you may crave fall all you like, I’ve already had it. Yaaaay Spring! :D

In winter the cats all gravitate to my bed, anyhow. You wake up all stiff in a tiny corner of your bed, cos they ooooze into a radius of two feet around them, with a weight that is definitely greater than the equivalent amount of lead, but pliable and furry. (That was a long sentence.)

I haven’t seen Shaun of the Dead, but I love Mel Brooks. Love love love. Ps I’ve updated the webpage, but it’s still not quite snazzy enough…

How does one pack Shrunken Apple Head for a move?

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 06/14/2006 7:45 AM

Wukong, yes I did see that and it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in a wrestling ring? I mean cmon, the zombie? That was until the sandman kick his ass with that kendo stick. Then it was down right hilarious! This is great where I live I can watch wrestling monday tuesday thursday and friday. Its gonna seriously cut into my videogame time tho. You know its hard out here for a geek.

Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/14/2006 9:52 AM

My wife and son always look at me strangely when I do that at home (usually when I’m working on something) – "Yip Yip Radio, Yip Yip". I always end up sounding like Carl from Slingblade by the time I finish, though. "Yip Yip, Radio, HmmHmmm" if you can visualize it.

PS: The Steve Martin Pink Panther movie is the worst movie ever released by a major studio (hyperbole aside). Stay awayyyyyy!

Chestnuts roasted by freudguy @ 06/14/2006 9:56 AM

It is 11:30 am, I am at work, and I am starving. Hell, even the shrunken apple is starting to look good..reading this candy apple Kool Aid post made me thirsty as well. Are there any petitions to bring this flavor back? Because I think it would be worth signing- it sounds awesome!

Off topic, but I saw a bear while camping this weekend! Check out the pics of my camping excursion if you are as bored at work as I am:

I am in the chick in the photos, incidentally.

freudguy: That movie LOOKED so bad that I haven’t yet seen it.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/14/2006 11:25 AM

Sitting at work in the rain and bored, havn’t posted in a while, so…."hey".

Also saw a sneak preview of Nacho Libre last night. Awesome stuff. I would say go and see it, lives up to the hype in every way.

Got a Snakes on a Plane poster secured too. Life is good right now.

Chestnuts roasted by Fox @ 06/14/2006 11:27 AM

And when they pulled the Apple from the twisted, warped, pop culture website, it looked… like…. THIS!
Mwa-hahahahahaha!

Tell ‘em Doc Brown sent ya!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 06/14/2006 12:46 PM

Fox: In the trailers, they show a lot of physical comedy (Ie: Slapping, punching, people falling down) for "Nacho Libre" when all I want is to see Jack Black act, since he is comedic gold…was the movie mostly physical comedy, or did it have good dialogue also? Also, nice score on the poster!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/14/2006 1:32 PM

Hmm… has anyone tried drying then candying an apple? It’d be like a glowing combination of Matt’s updates.

Chestnuts roasted by Vegan Mike @ 06/14/2006 1:34 PM

There was a lot of physical comedy in the movie, some actually made me laugh (I’m sorry). And also a few fart jokes, but all in all, it had the same atmosphere and funky retro odd feel that Napoleon Dynamite has. There are some lines that I can’t wait to hear again. Some of the stuff in the movie can only be laughed at by warped people.

There were a couple of parts that only my group laughed at pretty hard, and the place was full of people lacking that certain sense of humor that makes Napoleon Dynamite great.

Ramble, ramble, ramble, Now I’m going to go hang up my Nacho Libre hanging cut out the studio sent us in my office.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/14/2006 2:12 PM

Uh…FOX? Was that you that posted just now using my name?? Maybe you were trying to write a reply to me, but accidently wrote ‘Muppet Baby’ in the name box..??? I hope so, we don’t want 2 of ME running around!

Thanks for the reply, by the way. I loved Napolean Dynamite, so I am sure I will love Nacho Libre!
