06/17/2007: X-E’s Summer Megaparty: Begins June 20th!

After five minutes worth of careful deliberation, I’m happy to announce the forthcoming maybe-annual X-Entertainment Summer Megaparty! If you weren’t here last year, the Megaparty is explained simply as a set period of time in which the blog will be updated on a daily basis. We did this all throughout August last year, and it seemed to work well enough. This time, I’m gunning to dance from 6/20 all the way through 8/1.

So, what will you see during X-E’s Summer Megaparty? The beauty of it is…I don’t know! What I loved most about last year’s was the complete lack of theme or direction. One day, you’ll get a toy review. Another day, a commercial download. Other days, I’ll reach under my desk and write about whatever I yank out. Sometimes, I’ll post a new entry shortly after midnight. Other times, 8 PM. It’s lawless except for one rule: New blog entries, everyday from 6/20 through 8/1! Wheeee.

Alright. I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve got a man-crush on Matt. It’s not a gay thing, I’m happily married with kids, it’s just…. I know I’m not the only one. Admit it men. C’mon, let it out. It’s OK.

X-E MEGAPARTY!!! The only way to get through the summer.

Shaunfu: I did. That’s probably why it looks so bad; it was a cell phone cam. That is my secret beach that not many go to. The die hard surfers don’t like all the rocks and the beach peeps hate the rough surf. I think it is great.
The other day I saw two 600 lbs + sea turtles swimming less than ten yards of the rocks.
By the way, my buddy is there too. I wasn’t talking to myself. :)

Matt!!! I am on business in Savannah, GA and you really should come here for the Halloween countdown now that you freelance. Why? Let’s see….most haunted city in America (if you believe in that), pirates, bars every few feet, and open bottles are allowed on the streets. The bar I was at had a tunnel that pirates used to shanghai drunks for slave labor. Have you ever drank at the same bar pirates did 300 years ago? I could go on forever about this city but i won’t. I’ll blog it.

Jennyb7: You have a tough job. Good for you.

KB: Congrats on the job and move!

….back to work (sigh)

Hope everyone had a grand weekend and a superb father’s day, where applicable.

So I see we have a mega party to prepare for, should be fun, though I didn’t post last year, I was there reading and laughing.

So this weekend I was digging through boxes of old stuff in my garage and I found a cassette tape that had a couple songs my friend recorded for me, and on there was a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Rap”.

Has anybody heard this? I’ve searched and searched for this song and can’t find anybody even mentioning it on the internet, only other stupid TMNT rap songs that aren’t this one.

Some of the lyrics are:

[something something] and someone’s in trouble
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are there on the double
So let’s all join along and clap
To the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle rap!

I had to go to my brothers house to use his cassette player to play it since I don’t have one anymore, so I’d love to find this on mp3, and after a good hour of hardcore internet searching, I’ve found nothing, and if anybody knew anything about this song, or atleast even heard the piece of crap, it would Matt and X-E fans.

I’m with Bill on the Savannah thing. We LOVED it. Damn good ghost tours too (at least the one we did).

Bill: Palm Beach, eh? That’s where I’m from. Florida native, born and raised. Managed to get a whole 3 hours north to Orlando, where I’ve been for the past ten years. Dammit, now I feel old!

Of course, I’ll be happy with whatever, but I have my fingers crossed for an 80’s commercial or two. That’s how I got hooked on this site in the first place. This is going to rock so hard.

Ninja, ninja rrrap! What an awful song that was. I believe it was simply titled “Ninja Rap”.

Ghosted by Justin @ 06/18/2007 11:27 AM EDT

First, the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode was on last night, and the MegaParty is gettin’ ready to pull screaming out of the station! Time for the Chocodile Dance, Slam-dance style! 1, 2, 3… whooo!

That rap is Vanilla Ice’s Ninja Turtle masterpiece. Another popular Ninja Turtle rap was one located on a cassette tape from a Bobbi Katz book about staying off drugs.

This rap song is neither of those raps mentioned.

I sent out a mass email to all my nerdy co-workers (I’m IT) and only one person has recognized the song, but has no clue where it came from either. Other than that, nobody I’ve asked has even heard it.

Thanks Matt! Looking forward to it!

I need my halloween… damn it all… Monster Squad is coming out on DVD finally thats great and all but what does Matt think about it? Possibly more important than my own opinion.

Is there a different Vanilla Ice TMNT rap I’m missing? Because the only one I’ve heard and have known about from Vanilla Ice is this one:

YO! It’s the green machine — Gonna rock the town without bein’ seen
Have you ever seen a turtle Get Down? — Slammin’ Jammin’ to the new swing sound
Yeah, everybody let’s move — Vanilla is here with the new Jack Groove
Gonna rock, and roll this place — With the power of the ninja turtle bass
Iceman, ya know I’m not playin’ — Devistate the show while the turtles are sayin:

Chorus:
Ninja, Ninja, RAP! Ninja, Ninja, RAP!
GO GO GO
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja. GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
GO GO GO GO

Lyrics, fill in the gap — Drop that bass and get the NINJA RAP
Feel it, if you know what I mean — Give it up for those heroes in green
Just flowin, smooth with the power — Kickin’ it up, hour after hour
Cause in this life there’s only one winner — You better aim good so you can hit the center
In it to win it, with a team of four — Ninja Turtles that you gotta adore it’s the:

Chorus

Villians, you better run and hide — Because one day you might not slide
Choose your weapon but don’t slip — Vanilla’s in control with the flex of the mic grip
Rockin’ the crowd the way it should be rocked — With the Miami drop that you like alot
Hittin like a Ninja Turtle when the bass kicks in — You better check your level
The power of the Ninja is strong — Fightin’ all the crooks until they’re all out cold

Where the rap song I’m talking about, has these (there are more, obviously, I just can’t remember them )lyrics:

[something something] and someone’s in trouble
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are there on the double
So let’s all join along and clap
To the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle rap!

So does Vanilla Ice have another TMNT rap song I’m not able to find anything about?

Okay, so after a week of thinking it was Nintendo’s server’s fault, I fixed my router by changing the channel it was set on (who knew?), and got Castlevania because I had Wii points burning holes in my console.

Let me say one thing–Unlimited continues FTW!!

Anyone who finished the game on the default number of continues, YOU ARE A GAMING GOD. I’m just past Frankie and Igor and getting my ass handed to me by those Knights :(

Sorry if those guys aren’t called Igor, I’ve always been more of a Simon’s Quest kinda guy :P

Ghosted by K- @ 06/18/2007 3:07 PM EDT

Channel 11 using a Microsoft MN-700 router gives me great through-put on my Wii.

Today’s VC line-up is probably the most dull collection yet. Atleast in my opinion, but congrats for those who love today’s releases. I really want Zombies Ate My Neighbors for SNES and Goemon’s Great Adventure for N64.

Ghosted by fistpittingnork @ 06/18/2007 3:17 PM EDT

I’d rather listen to Vanilla Ice’s Turtle Rap than Prince’s Batman Rap. Ugh.

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 06/18/2007 3:25 PM EDT

Hey, remember when the ninja rap was posted on here, like 4 years ago. Or rather, it was hidden somewhere on the site, apparently. Maybe it was like all those new articles hidden throughout :P .

Ghosted by Tutsuro @ 06/18/2007 4:13 PM EDT

“Ed: “Purple Rain”?
Shaun: No.
Ed: “Sign o’ the Times”?
Shaun: Definitely not.
Ed: The “Batman” soundtrack?
Shaun: Throw it.”

Actually, I kinda always liked the Batman soundtrack because it was so damn cheesy but took itself so seriously at the same time :)

Squee: I just put a call out to one of my buds to fix the “Previous” and “Next Entry” links. Been bugging me too, but I don’t know how to fix it. Also getting his help on managing the blog archives so they’re easier to sift through.

Ghosted by Matt @ 06/18/2007 7:30 PM EDT

While we’re at it, you should probably also fix your Snickers and Diet Coke pics on the main page. They’re swapped. It’s been bugging me since you uploaded them, but I didn’t really feel like saying anything.

Ghosted by Mystie @ 06/18/2007 7:32 PM EDT

See my theory was that people would get into catching the mistake, and…actually, I just goofed.

Brian is going to design a table specifically for the Megaparty that will usurp that one. We only put that one up to get rid of Christmas.

Sweet… I missed most of last year’s Megaparty, and I was lurking when I was around.

Shuanfu- Awesome :)

So I was thinking purple had to be Inky, logically, but Wikipedia is calling it Sue. But then some other article is saying Clyde had a sex change and became Sue. Whoever she/he is, they’re cute up there.
I couldn’t stand the idea of being away in class every night of the Megaparty, so I dropped that bitch just moments before I was supposed to go in. So now you guys are stuck with me, haha. I’m sure everyone is thrilled. BTW, I totally used “cognizant” in my last blog entry, which just so happened to be about MST3K. Thanks for the suggestion Matt!

Ghosted by squee4242 @ 06/18/2007 9:24 PM EDT

Wow, bold move Squee. I’ve dropped a lot of classes in my time, but never for a forum/blog. That’s hardcore.

Now I have to think of something radical to do to top that.

Ghosted by K- @ 06/18/2007 9:31 PM EDT

Haha…okay you got me. I wasn’t exactly dying to take it. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit the Megaparty was another notch in the “con” column though. Hooray irresponsibility!

Ghosted by squee4242 @ 06/18/2007 9:35 PM EDT

Believe me if I could drop the classes I’m taking this summer, I would. But I wouldn’t graduate on time, and well this’ll be my 8th year. I think it’s time I left for good.

X-E means the world to me, but it’s not worth a 9th year in college :P
