I hope I find these chips. Even though they’re totally misshapen, they still look awesome.

All I have to say is WOW. I’m totally getting those chips. They are made by the same people that make the Salsitas, I think! KMart here I come! I gotta add - everytime I see “Snak King”, I think of “Sofa King”…

Thank you, Tummi - I’m listening to your jukebox right now. I now have both versions saved on my WMP10.

Haven’t had a chance to read the whole thing yet but I just wanted to say that I saw these at Target and knew IMMEDIATELY that they’d show up on the countdown.

Yet another reason to hate living in Canada, where the market for chips reminscent of death encompasses me and that crazy guy who wears the santa hat and does push-ups int he street.

Another SIGH. But now that I look harder, those chips do look a bit like the scraps of stuffing that they shove into couches. Hmmm…”Sofa King,” indeed.

Okay, sorry for the (almost) double post. But now that I’ve read it, I have to say two things:

1) The bag not only used the word “parameter” in an unusual context, they used it incorrectly. I’m pretty sure they meant “perimeter”

2) I need that blood bowl.

“if you guys wouldn’t mind, I’d like to be called Sting from now on”

Thanks Matt, Tummi and anyone else who puts time and effort into XE. It is much appreciated.

Those chips DO kind of suck, but I would still totally get them for any Halloween party.  My Wal-Mart is still void of any Halloween goodness.  Thank God I can get my “fix” here at XE.

First of all, you have no idea how hungry I am for tortilla chips now.

Second… COUNT DUCKULA!!!  OMG!  When was the last time I thought about that cartoon?!  They should SO put it out on DVD!!  Who wants to start a petition?!

I know what I am buying tomorrow while shopping, that is if they are in Canada. To reiterate Muppet Baby’s first sentences: Thanks Matt, Tummi and anyone else who puts time and effort into XE. It is much appreciated.

On the topic of the blood bowl, I am forever nervous around clear plastic things with blood in them. This all stems from one wonderful Halloween were a child decided to stab me in the gut with one playfully. It didn’t penetrate, but it did leave a big bruise and an interesting story.

Yeah, I probably should have looked for Count Duckula before posting… I found the first season on DVD… and it should be in my mailbox in the next two weeks!!!  Woo!!

That bowl rocks, and the chips, no matter how scarily misshappen they are look yummy.By the by a primus toy came out the other day,and it might make a good companion to your unicron article from a while back.

For those interested Welcome to the Black Parade is now on iTunes. Download the EP, though. You get a 40 minute “interview” with the band talking about all the songs on the new album and you get to hear snippets of them.

So worth the dollar I spent. Make sure it’s the EP, I downloaded the single first, thus costing me 2 dollars. It’s all good.

That bowl is cool.  But what happens if it has a crack in it?  Will the blood go all over the food?  Plus, would it be edible and would you want to eat it?

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 09/13/2006 10:39 PM EDT

yeah, JLAJRC, I thought the same thing…then I thought that maybe that meant I was turning into an adult (would kids really give a shit if toxic “blood” spilled on their chips?), so I pushed the matter out of my mind entirely.

Ah, it’s not Halloween season until I’ve heard track #10 on this year’s jukebox “Anything Can Happen on Halloween.”  Reminds me of Matt’s review (click my name).  I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard in my whole life.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Boligarky @ 09/13/2006 10:45 PM EDT

We had a going away party at work today that included a bunch of tortilla chips and various dip/salsas.  If I had brought the Fright Bites, I honestly believe that my coworkers would have carried me around on their shoulders while forgetting all about the fellow employee who was leaving.

PS  I had Pilsbury Halloween cinnamon rolls this morning.  They were wonderful, all halloweeny cinnameeny.

Chestnuts roasted by freudguy @ 09/13/2006 10:58 PM EDT

Might have to look for these. For one thing, tortilla chips are some of the only junk foods I’ll eat. For another thing, those bats look like blue corn chips. I love blue corn chips. They have a heartier flavor and are thicker than the regular ones.

o_O Halloween themed Tortilla chips?! Brilliant! The more Halloween-themed foods there are, the better. I haven’t seen any of the Halloweeny Cereals at the supermarket yet- I hope they get them, I want Franken Berry cereal this year…or Boo Berry as I’ve not yet tried it. Halloween peeps are out there though, I scored me some the other day. ^__^

Chestnuts roasted by The Boglin @ 09/13/2006 11:23 PM EDT

Do any Canadians know of supermarkets that are known to sell cereals like Booberry and Frankenberry? Specifically Southern Ontario, but I can go up to Toronto sometimes. I have always wanted to try these but have yet to get the chance.

I think I just lost a year or two off my life. Thanks to Mr. Boligarky I finally read The Worst Witch review. I don’t know why I never read it. I’ve heard about it alot, but Jesus Christ, I had no idea to expect all of that. I laughed so hard I crossed the line of knowing whether I was still laughing or just plain crying. I physically had to stop and take a break during Tim’s video. Wow…

huzzah for two features in one! way to be, matt!  those chips are horribly adorable.

i can’t wait for this years halloween KidCuisine’s.  The Target I worked at this past year kept them in stock well into January when I pulled them all out of the case myself and said it just wasn’t right.

You’re welcome Ryane.  Well, I suppose we should thank Matt though.  Seriously, the first time I read that, the tears were rolling down my face because I was laughing so hard.  What had made it even more funny was the fact that I’d seen the Worst Witch many times as a child, but not for such a long time that I’d forgotten just how ridiculous it is… Anyway, thanks to Matt’s fever-induced review, I can’t see any Tim Curry related item without laughing.

Well…I got back from The Who concert earlier, and it was just f’ing great. The opening band, Peeping Tom, was crappy, which made The Who 100x better in comparison. They played many kickass songs, including most of the songs off their new album, which in concert talk is “Everybody get up and go to the bathroom!” There was also a 1/2 hour Encore, among the songs played is Pinball Wizard (one of my favs), but my dad was dissappointed that they didn’t play Summertime Blues at all.

Also, Click on my name to go to one of my most recent blog entries, where I list my 5 Worst Pokemon Ever. So here’s a topic: What are your 5 choices for Worst Pokemon Ever? This was mine:

5. Shuckle
4. Dunsparce
3. Nosepass
2. Magikarp
1. Porygon2

…You’ll have to click my name to see the whole reasoning. Also, I got it on fark! It’s here: http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=2287927 About 35 people telling me I need a life/calling me a pedophile.

Now for the Countdown Stuff = Awesome. I just hope we see Ghost With The Most soon. I’ll repeat this from last year: “Bag To Put Leaves In” = Brilliant.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 09/14/2006 12:30 AM EDT

from an extreme pokemon gamers point of view, im going to have to argue against:

Shuckle - super super high defense and special defense.  this fucker can take hit after hit and be used as some varying Baton Passer for all kinds of crazy stat uppers for your Scizor or Kingdra just lying in wait in your team

Magikarp - point in case: he evolves into Gyarados.  I know he has a 4X weakness to Electric types thanks to the wonderful combination of Water/Flying…but this guy is just awesome.

How about Chimecho? or Unown? or Aipom (despite his immense cuteness).

nerd alert!

brianfax, if I had been doing a Top 10, I would’ve included those 3 (plus I’d have to think of 2 more, and I’m just too tired for that now)

And In my blog and this one, I’m open for ideas of other Top 5 Worst, and I currently stand by my choices.

I have this kickass chalice that works in the same manner as all those other bleeding decorations. I just love it; the only way it could be better is if it could more liquid.

okay, well I’m with you on terms of design and thought process when putting those first 5 pokemon on the market.  im just way too into the games.

could we expand to include Hoot Hoot? cause that thing just plain pisses me off.

I really want to check out the revamped jukebox but I’m on-air here at my parttime job pretending to sound happy about Nick Lachey and Michael McDonald songs. Not that I don’t like those artists, I just have to sound overly happy for any soccer moms up and listening at 2am on a Thursday morning. But yes when I get home I will check out the jukebox for updated Halloween goodness.

Yea, Rosella. You’re right.  We are all kids at heart.

While I’ve never heard of Fright Bites, I’m pretty sure one of the majors (Tostito maybe?) does the same thing, or at least used to.  Only they would just make them black/orange and just in the shape of bats.  Who’s ever seen an orange bat?

Do The Freddy is my favorite song of all time. It’s official.
Knegative (and whoever else cares)- I have no idea who Selphie is,but when I beat the game on normal difficulty,the end credits showed a bunch of those cactus men dancing,and a little white cat walking around on this red ball. I don’t know if they’re unlockable playable characters though. Either way,it’s a worthy purchase,since regardless of FF fanservice,it’s an awesome game. Don’t listen to the reviewers on this one,they’re all trashing it since they didn’t bother learning the stylus controls. After you get used to them,you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Whoa.  I totally want those chips.  Tortilla chips are one of my favorite foods anyway, and -colored- tortilla chips are the best things in the universe, but shaped ones are ten times the awesome, if that is possible.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 09/14/2006 9:46 AM EDT

Kid Nicky, those cacti are known as Sabotenders or Cactaurs. If you want to get technical they can also be Cactrots or Quactaurs, depending on the Final Fantasy in question, in VI and X, respectively.

Also, the cat is most definitely a Moogle. I’m pretty sure I heard about Cactaurs and Moogles being playable characters. I’d personally like to know who the other humanoid characters are. My money is on Selphie as she usually makes the cut in extra-FF games, being the spunky, can’t-help-but-love-her character of the series. And, while Rikku is great too, she will never be as good as Selphie. If you find a girl in a yellow dress, with flipped hair, that’s her.

The game will assuredly be my first DS purchase.

Every so often, I like to play the halloween theme when a customer walks in the door.  Good fun.  I also sadly know every word to the Adam’s Family Rap.  It has been stuck in my head, just from reading about it. 
Also, I freaking love Martha Stewarts Halloween Issue.  Yes, she’s nutty, but I think her nuttiness adds something special at Halloween.  And that issue comes out tomorrow.

For years … YEARS! … I spoke of The Worst Witch, which I had seen on HBO some long ago afternoon when I was in the third grade.  And they all told me it wasn’t real.  But it was,  and you all know that.  I feel so validated.  And I can also sing the line “Has anybody seen my tamborine?” without feeling like a complete tool.  Thanks Matt, thanks X-E, thanks bloggers!

MMmmm…  crunchy bats.  What kind of dip goes with that?

For those of you who are planning your parties early, may I recommend a site with plenty of creepy free goodies to download?

i’m using dialup so i cant really listen to the jukebox, but I think that the “Batty” song from FernGully should be on there.  i was singing it in the shower this morning.

Chestnuts roasted by brianfax @ 09/14/2006 1:04 PM EDT

brianfax that’s a creepy thought.  Eww.  Even though every once in a while I think of that movie, ferngully.  It’s not a bad movie for a cheap disney movie (they didn’t treat it like a huge summer one like lion king) If I see a cheap copy of it I’ll pick one up.

Chestnuts roasted by Goob @ 09/14/2006 1:48 PM EDT

what’s a creepy thought? imagining me doing the CabbagePatch in the shower will going “yo the name is batty the logic is erratic potato in a jacket!”

i think i need a DVD version of Ferngully as well. I’ve been watching a Disney Channel taped version for like the past 10 years.

does everyone else know about the new Nightmare Before Christmas (in 3-D) and songs covered by (eep) Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco?  The 3-D thing might be cool, but as much as I love FOB, that should remain un-touched.  I’m not going to say anything about Panic!…that subject just upsets me enough.

i leave way too many comments on these blogs, but i have no one else to talk to.  i am lame.

spoodles; it also features Robin Williams.  who is Batty.  and anytime Robin Williams gets to rap, I’m going to be listening.

yeah, the whole Nightmare Before Christmas thing is unsettling.  I love me some Fall Out Boy, but I just don’t think you’re supposed to mess with that stuff.  What are they going to do next? CGi Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with Fall Out Boy covering “We’re A Couple of Misfits”? oh dear, lord.  that sounds almost too perfect for them.  let’s hope they don’t read this.

As a direhard Clandestine Industries whore/fan (see my portfolio in my blog), I was very very upset at Pete’s Gap ad.  that face he’s making is so random.  And the fact that the first time I saw it was on a bus when I was visiting NYC was even weirder.  He needs to stick to the Clan.  speaking of which, have you seen the video of the Clandestine Industries fashion show? it’s on youtube and it’s the saddest thing ive ever seen…scene?

Patrick would be an adorable snowman.  So long as Joe gets to be the Abominable Snowman.  Thats what he gets for being Jewish.

Duece: Probably, I didn’t know the titles of a good # of songs they played (like, I knew that “Teenage Wasteland” isn’t the title of that song, it’s something else, but I don’t remember it. They did play this one, and it was awesome)

Plus, at around 3/4 or so into the concert, Pete Townsend was talking about the stage, and he says at the end of this “…I think I’m some sort of Rock Star.” Probably from now on, I’m gonna use that for my XE name

Thank you LemurCat for being unnecessarily rude, unless you were being histrionic for comedic effect and it just didn’t translate well in text.

I happen to know who all those people are. I just didn’t know that song was called Baba O’Reilly, for you see, when I listen to the song I hear the words “teenage wasteland” about 400 times and the words “Baba O’Reilly” zero times. Nor has ANYONE ever told me the name of the song.

I hardly think not knowing the name of one song that came out when my mom was a teenager means I don’t like good music. Do you know who Franz Liszt is? Do you? Hmm?

Ahh, love the countdown so far! Hehe, the chips are pretty interesting. I’ll haveta keep an eye out. But I soooo love the jukebox too. Great songs. Am I the only one who absolutely adores the Headless Horseman song?

Those chips are totally Jesus in Chip form. Worship them!

I’ll never forget my favorite Halloween program ever. It was a Disney hour-or-so-long collection of all kinds of spooky stuff, from the genuinely spooky (The Chernobyl scene from Fantasia) to the funny (Donald Duck’s cousins always get a laugh out of me).

Everyday I chastise myself for having recorded over my VHS of it with Gremlins… mostly just because I accidently recorded over Gremlins too.

That’s right…Baba O’Riley, they did mention the title quite a few times during the show (plus a new song that has a computer-produced intro similar to it which is pretty sweet, but doesn’t compare to the live guitar)

And after seeing him in person, I’m getting on the bandwagon with LemurCat that Roger Daltry can definately kick Raine Maida’s ass.

Oh Invader Norbert. *pat**pat* I had my first fic MSTed at 14 and a page on Portal of Evil at 15, so I’ve been dealing with fuckheads on the internet since day 1.

I’ve never gotten anything I’ve written on Fark, even that time I wrote about KFC bowls and a month later they posted some LA Times article your had to subscribe for and that had no images on it. No one online appreciates me. Except Robert Berry.

Kick Raine Maida’s ass? I think not. Relinquish your pain unto him, kinda like with Bono, except you really have faith in Raine. and don’t find him to be a pompous ass.

Raine has just about the only justified messiah complex I have ever seen.  All Hail Our Lady Peace.

This is where kb beats MY ass, right?

Is Our Lady Peace the band that did Superman’s Dead? If that’s so,then I guess Raine Meada is the name of the guy I have to kick in the balls.

yeah, as a matter of fact it is. Wanna do something about it? Hands down, my vote for best voice ever in the history of mankind. Adam Duritz comes in a close second. Gerard Way, third.

Hahaha, hate me, hate me, hate me!!!

goob: i really don’t see what’s so wrong with my naked, wet body doing the cabbage patch in my shower.  i mean, c’mon.  that’s something to be cherished atleast.

Cause I’m a real fruit bat and I’m ready to rap,
I’m ready to snap,
I suffer from cyanica and chapped lips,
And shockage,
Like a rocket in my pocket and a need to scratch,
But now I can’t stop it,
I’m Batty…

0_o what was this song about, again?

I was like 9 or 10 or something when Ferngully came out and I was embarrassed over watching something with the Batty Rap in it even BACK THEN.  Jeez… I liked the movie alright though.  Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind was a much better example of a universally appealing animated flick that tackles enviromental issues.  they really arent comparable I know… just had to mention it.

Don Bluth made ferngully. He worked for disney for a bit before he went on his own and made “Secret of Nimh”  He also made my fave cartoon movie of all time…American Tail !!!

He also made ROck a Doodle, Land Before time, all dogs go to heaven, Anastasia,

“there are no cats in america and the streets are made of chee-eese. “

Jazzy — Franz Liszt was a 19th century Hungarian composer.  Not my favorite, as I prefer the Russian composers from when I went through my Russophile stage in college.  As for my “histrionics”, I actually don’t blame you for not knowing the proper title of Baba O’Riley.  I blame your parents.  They probably didn’t expose you to proper rock ‘n roll well.  Yes, that’s a joke.  And I’m glad you’ve heard of Bob Dylan.  The world is a better place for it.

brianfax — Happy Early Birthday, and that’s a helluva present to get.  Enjoy.

K-Neg — Roger Daltry is a Rock God.  Raine Maida is a second-tier Canadian artist who never really caught on in the States.  Sorry, dude, truth hurts.  I liked OLP though.  Good hard rock with a thoughtful edge.  Which is prolly why it didn’t really catch on in the States.  And with no Roger Daltry there would be no Raine Maida.  Quadraphenia.  I say no more.

Allie — Rockwell was the son of Michael Jackson’s producer, Berry Gordy. Which explains why Michael — in his pre-nutbag height of fame — was caught providing “guest vocals” on such a track.  Jermaine’s vocals are completely understand able. But Michael’s?  Still makes me wonder what Berry had on him.

My “Frans List”:

Fran Drescher
Fran from Kukla, Fran, and Ollie
Farmer Fran

By the by, the bestest voice in history is James Brown.  He don’t even have to sing real words to be understood.

Don’t forget Fran Tarkingon, former NFL Quarterback and Hai Karate spokesman.
