X-Entertainment's Christmas Season & Advent Calendar, 2008.

07/09/2008: X-E’s ‘08 Summer Megaparty: Especially for..SIStah.

My sister’s family is in the process of remodeling their home, and they’ve spent the past few months dismantling their basement, parting ways with long-held artifacts of yesteryear.

In the process, she came upon a few letters which I apparently mailed to her when I was nine-years-old. (Or, more truthfully, letters I wrote, placed in envelopes, drew stamps on and just handed to her.) One of these letters may be a little too odd to keep to myself.

(click pic to enlarge)
My sister is much older than me, and was already in her own house by the time this letter was written. She’d gotten into the habit of bringing me packs of stickers whenever she dropped by. Though the untrained eye might believe differently, this seems to be a thank-you letter for one such set of stickers.

Largely just a mismatched pile of doodles, the core “note” section reads as follows: “I got the new stickers you sent me. They are cool! I also like the postcard with the monkey with gun. I hope you like this Corvette in Hollywood! Write back!”

Hmmm. The “postcard with the monkey with gun?” I do have some vague recollection of a photo of a chimp with an exploded gum bubble covering half of his face, and I can only assume that the “postcard with the monkey with gun” refers to this. Frankly, it’s obvious that I only wrote words on the page to make it work legally as a letter. I was far more interested in doodling random bullshit.

And what doodles the are! The central piece is a pink Corvette in a Hollywood setting. I titled the car “Corvette ‘88 Super Star,” for reasons that have been completely lost over the twenty years that have passed since this was written. Also interesting is my pathetic attempt at a palm tree, which looks more like a feather duster, or possibly several thousand palm trees superimposed on top of each other.

The top third of the letter is riddled with much more random scribbles, including a series of fake stamps and stickers. There’s a stamp marked “N.Y. Lamborghini,” which really makes me wonder if I was more into cars that I seem to recall. The three stamps at the top depict a boy with sunglasses, Earth with one of Saturn’s rings, and a whoopee cushion? The hell? Why did I make a whoopee cushion stamp?

The phony stickers on the left are equally puzzling. One lists a bunch of video game consoles, while another reads, “I’m Not DEAF I’m Just Ignoring You.” A final sticker simply says “Bug Jokes.” What the fuck are bug jokes?

And just in case my sister wasn’t clear that some of these doodles were intended to be stamps, a final stamp-shaped doodle reads… “STAMP.”

The lower third of the page is the real money shot, featuring a scene from the old Rampage video game, with Lizzie being joined by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man on a destructive romp in the Bronx. I loved crossovers.

Incredibly, she even kept the envelope. I assume that these random Halloween stickers were the ones I was thanking her for. Check out that swank Headless Horsemen, and the awesome space marked “PLACE STAMP HERE.”

I don’t remember being this weird. Now that I have proof of it, the course of my life is starting to make a lot more sense. I dunno, though. I can deal with most of this stuff, but it’s pretty hard to reconcile the “Bug Jokes” thing.

Q: Why did Bumble Bob get detention?
A: He wasn’t “bee-ing” good.

Wait, wait, UPDATE: Someone pointed out that it doesn’t say “Bug Jokes,” but rather, “Bag O Jokes.” Now I’m even more confused.

That’s awesome Matt. Now your envelope makes me wish it was Halloween time. Still 3 months to go.

Aw man I was first but the post got deleted. Oh well. Nice find Matt ,I find stuff like that about myself all the time. I can’t help but laugh at myself.

I like how you drew a floor for the mummy to walk on. He surely would have fallen into the abyss without it.

Nice! Gotta love a new post popping up while I am reading an old post. Sweetness.

Sorry for the dp, but I think that’s “Bag o’ Jokes” not “Bug Jokes”.

doho: Hmmm, I think you’re right. It isn’t helping me understand anything, though.

I like the doodles. The randomness of them reminds me of the kind I drew when I was that age.

Matt, have you ever considered a career illustrating children’s books?
Just a thought.

There are surprisingly few entomology jokes out there. I never would have guessed.

I love finding old stuff you drew or wrote. You know you did it, but it seems so distant and unconnected. It’s like looking into the soul of some otherworldly person that is long gone, but still a part of you.

Very cool, Matt. I wonder if my mother found anything like this when she cleared out her house before she, my stepdad, and my brother moved in January?

I’m thinking Bag o Jokes would be like, a Bag of pranks, which the whoopee cushion could have came out of.

I’m pretty sure most kids are this weird. I have books of doodles and random scribblings from when I was younger, and I know others that do as well. Maybe it’s a natural growing process?

I think the best part of the letter is the fact that you signed your full name. As a kid your full name meant that whatever you were signing was some important shit. Every kid that I know still does this….awesome.

Or it could be one of those bag 0′ laughs things with the motorized laughing action.

[Insert comment about how I have some interesting doodles from my childhood, too.]

I’m a middle school teacher so I can decipher just about any handwriting….What I would really be confused about Matt is that it looks as if a certain part of the male anatomy is poking its way out of the now famous Bag o’ Jokes.

I need to see if I can find some of my old creations. I know my friends and I had a long-running series of pictures called “Robowar 2650″ that I’d like to see again. And I had a popular recurring character named “Karate Personage” who was always getting his ass kicked by colorful guest stars. Oh, and every episode had a different was of saying “gets his ass kicked by” in the title, which I was pretty proud of.

I see the penis too. George kind of look penisy too. I just didn’t want to say anything first.

Ironic that you should mention the Bronx and animals. Did you hear about what happened at the zoo today? Well the “Skyfari” ride, which takes you in a gondola about 100 feet above lions and tigers broke down, then a thunderstorm came. They had to get the folks out of some of those cars by a crane! Jurassic Park suddenly doesn’t seem that scary.

I think I gave up on George/giant penis halfway through and instead made him into smoke billowing from a dead helicopter.

Well….I can see where your blog page came from. It actually looks like a similar setup. Minus the stamps.

That Rampage doodle just sent me back 20 years. That was my favorite arcade game, hands down. Never in my 10 years on the Earth could I have imagined a game where one could destroy buildings and eat people. I felt like I witnessed the first telephone or indoor plumming. Sigh….

Matt, I saw you had Nintendo, Sega and Atari listed, but I couldn’t read the last one. Was it Amiga? Also, was this written before or after the sega genesis came out?

I love the Corvette. It looks just like the one my Barbies drove. I gave them punk rock haircuts and colored their hair with magic markers. Then they went cruising around looking for trouble…

Well if you look on the left side of the paper, you will see a small stamp with the rest of the systems written in.

I think NINTENDO reigns supreme in Matt’s head. Hence the huge Bubble letters.

Perhaps, the giant Nintendo is an omen of things to come. In the 80s, no one knew what the state of Videogame consoles would be. Matt had some weird vision of the future. But at such a young age he couldn’t process the information correctly.

The car is obviously a vision of Doc Hollywood getting produced, all thats left is the attack on the Bronx by giant space apes and lizards!

Awesome. This reminds me of your X-E’s 1992 Summer Vacation Collage article from last year… in fact, I may go have another look at that one.

The last one says “Animator 2000.” Not sure what it is, but Google helped. Oddly, I am quite sure I never owned that product.

Don’t take this wrong but:
I love it when Matt shares old childhood stuff; makes me feel like my odd childhood is a little less odd.

Lizzy was my favorite Rampage character too. And the Stay Puft crossover was genius. I, too am a sucker for crossovers.

The thing about Rampage was I was just dreaming about it the other night. I forgot who the third rampager was. Was it the wolf, right? I was also thinking of the sequel, Rampage Universal Tour. That had a Mouse, a Rhino, and a Lobster, and you unlocked the original 3 at other points in the game.

All those doodles seem to show that you were great & talented from a young age. Honestly, Stay Puft in Rampage. It speaks volumes.

Speaking of doodles, will we ever see a return of Ghost With The Most? And when will the Summer Jukebox be up?

The whoopie-cushion stamp was ingenius! Why can’t we do stamps of gag-items instead of President’s or musician’s heads? I would love to see a joke shop “fake barf” stamp…

OMG MATT!
I used to draw that “place stamp here” envelope on every single envelope when I was a kid.

For any Rampage fans,Wii virtual console has kind of a similar game now called “King of the Monsters”. It’s similar in the way that you’re giant monsters destroying a city,but it’s a wrestling game. Yes,with piledrivers and such. You even have to pin the other monster for the three count to win. Of course,like with all arcade wrestling games (like WrestleFest) you pull off moves by grappling,then smashing the buttons. That’s fine against your friends,but the computer cheats like hell!
Still a fun game,but don’t expect to beat it.

Maybe you had (or wanted) a product called “Bag o’ Jokes” at the time? The “penis” looks more like the end of a whoopee cushion if you ask me. It would also explain the whoopee cushion stamp…sorta.

I don’t see anything wrong with the doodle letter or the envelope. I just see what a 9 year old boy was thinking about in the moment, and what he thought was a pretty good doodle letter. That is what you got a kick out of and assumed your sister would get a kick out of it as well. Because why wouldn’t she get a kick out of Rampage, the Stay Puft Marshmellow man, whoopie cushions, a pink corvette in hollywood etc. etc. You even got a bit of pink to add to the car for her.

If those were the stickers you were willing to sacrifice I can’t imagine what the ones you kept looked like! I have several little doodles and drawings at my Grandma’s house and here that I want to get my hands on and get my hands on a scanner and scan them to make lots and lots of blog entries about them.

I went through a phase when I was in the 4th grade where I drew skeletons that were these punk badass skeletons. I would dress them up in skater type of clothing, give them a skateboard, etc. and it would be a character. I know I found a drawing a few years ago that I think I still have of a skeleton with one of those “real men wear black” raiders shirts on it. That is a time capsule for sure. On my youtube page I have a series of 5 videos I think they are of me showing drawings from a sketch diary I filled up in high school. That is different then innocent doodles like this, but it is amusing how different my point of view was back then. Doodles like this one definitely shows your point of view at that time.

What did your sister say about this? Did she like your letters, or did she just pat you on your head as a kid and throw them into her basement?

Invader: Yeah, I’m late with the Summer Juke, but definitely soon. :) I have to regurgitate the code used for the last X-Mas jukebox, and it’ll take a lot of “nunse nunse” throat noises to make that happen.

yooki: I honestly have no recollection of her reaction to these letters; she gave me four of them. Among them, one is a picture of a space shuttle with a note urging her to save the envelope that it came in. Another is a Christmas letter drawn exclusively in red and green crayon.

I’ll bet you made this letter while you were in your room. I used to write things like this for my cousins. I’d always end up drawing the stuff I saw laying around. The stuff at the top was probably just what you saw in your room while you were drawing…whoopie cushion, bag o’ jokes, all the video game consoles…did you have an “I’m not deaf, I’m just ignoring you” button or bumper-sticker? Maybe some of it was from a magazine.

I’m sure my parents have a whole fuckin ’stash of stuff like this. I know my Grandma does… no, wait… she gave it to ME!
Ooh snap!

Also good to know that I’m not the only one that drew stamps.
I do think, however, that I am the only one that drew stamps so they LOOKED JUST LIKE REAL STAMPS in an attept to fool the mail carrier.

Adam E: Yeah, the whoopee cushion, “bag o jokes” and “I’m not deaf” thing all point to my obsession with Johnson-Smith and Spencer Gifts.

Lizzie seems to be holding a jug of some kind. A jug of wine, perhaps? Perhaps Liz and George were invited to a kegger at Stay Pufts house, got really drunk and just started destroying buildings. Maybe they thought the buildings was dope and just trying to smoke them. Maybe they were also hungry for White Castle hamburgers. Makes you see Rampage in a different light. They weren’t evil, just hungover.

Matt, I was searching the archives and I read your article about the Legend of Zelda. I have 500 wii points and I’m considering buying the original one on the virtual console.

Haha, I love seeing stuff like this. My cousin still has a bunch of notebooks full of drawings she and I did when we were kids.

OH yeah, and this reminds me about a letter I wrote when I was around 6 or so. (Click my name to see it.)

Warning: You will be humbled! Imagine playing this game before the days of the internet…

Speaking of wii points I need to get some more. I recently bought Super Metroid and this other game that I can’t remember the name of. I was eager to play Super Metroid because I never beat it when it first came out. I tried like crazy but could never do it. However I FINALLY beat last month! Oh man I wa so happy when I did it too! It was just like when I was a kid and beat a very hard game. I can now finally cross “beat Super Metroid” off my list of “the things to do in my life” list. =D Kid Nicky: King of the Monsters on virtual console ? AWESOME! =D

Can’t remember if I’ve ever posted. I just wanted to say that this is just adorable. It was good of your sister to keep them.

I was just minding my own business and I saw a banner for a Princess Bride game. You guessed it, someone out there made a game based on the classic movie the Princess Bride.

I am thinking it is bad, because there is a quote on their site from USA Today that says, “Play Princess on Windows and Mac” Usually a game is bad if that is the only type of quotes they can find to advertise the game. You can play a free downloadable trial and there is a video. I thought I would throw that into the conversation.

Wow, Matt! That letter is the best! You sure you didn’t get into the liquor cabinet when you were a kid?!

I’m sure there’s plenty of dorkalicious letters and drawings I did when I was younger somewhere in my mom’s house. Just haven’t come across them yet.

I love the acknowledgement of the beautiful borough I call home. Personally, I AM a bronx rampage.

Also, my wopspeak is very weak but I think caracappa means “Face Head”, which is one of the best Italian surnames I’ve seen since a local dentist named Senzamici (”no friends”). Praise Matt FaceHead!

This might be old news, but I just saw they are making a Ghostbusters game for the PS3 and XBOX 360. I really hope its as good as it looks. It has Stay Puft and Slimer so it can’t be too bad.

There will be a DS version too, but instead of fighting ghosts you get to run a business that fights ghosts.
Exactly like the original NES game.
Wheee..

Uggh. Nothing could ever be worse then the NES version. Climbing a skyscraper by pushing the button every step was just an awful idea for a game level.

Actually, I’ve been thinking about this…there was a third pranks and gags shop aside from Johnson-Smith and The Magic Company that used to have ads in old kiddy comics/magazines — I believe it was called “The Fun Shop?” I used to be crazy about that place, and have a vague recollection of “Bag of Jokes” being on the front of their small, orange catalog. It also makes sense because they sent out all these wacky stickers when you ordered something. Would explain the “I’m Not Deaf” stuff.

My dad had an electric typewriter when I was a kid. It was somewhere between a typewriter and a word processor, and I thought it was the coolest thing in existence, so I would type stuff on it all the time, including letters to my future self. It would say how old I was and what was going on in my life. Unfortunately, it was never anything cool that I had the potential of forgetting about later in life. I didn’t realize that future me wouldn’t need to be reminded of where I went to elementary school. Still, when I run across them from time to time, it’s cool to get a letter from childhood me. Plus, it’s a little surreal to remember typing them as a kid and imagining that exact scenario taking place. It’s all come full circle…

I just thought of something to go along with my post above. Maybe the reason Liz/George could eat humans in Rampage is BECAUSE we taste like a White Castle hamburger.

Wasn’t there a company called Fun Factory too that used to advertise in comic books. I could be wrong.

Matt, your pumpkins look a lot like the ones I drew when I was little. Were you the artist of the family? I was called that but in hindsight I really sucked. I wonder why they pumped me full of the BS? Your art was 10X better than the shit drew. Case in point:
http://veggiemacabre.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/im-no-picasso/

Yeah, my parents used to call me an “artist” too but I was never any good at all until I was about 19 or 20, and I wasn’t that good then either. I have since stopped drawing in favor of writing. Stick to what you’re good at, they say.

Anyway, Matt, I love these posts about old doodles. I admire you for putting them up for all to see. When I come across old stuff that I doodled, I usually shred it up and burn it. That’s one part of my past that doesn’t need to be preserved as far as I’m concerned. >_>

When I was about five, we had a beagle named Lucky. One day I drew a picture of lucky and wrote “Best Dog” on it. I stuck it to Lucky’s collar.

I’m not saying my powers sealed Lucky’s fate, but a bold proclamation like “Best” seems to be a challenge to forces beyond my control to prove that Lucky wasn’t such a big deal after all, in the larger scope of the universe’s plan. The lesson is, don’t let me stick my drawings to you unless you want to be lying in my driveway the next morning.

I had done something similar to this when I was a kid. Story goes, that for some reason my brother and I we’re grounded (probably set something on fire again) for one thing or another. It must have been pretty bad because the evidence shows that we saw no end in sight for our punishment.

The evidence? We wrote a note detailing or punishment (not the crime) and somewhere I had produced a screw driver with the hopes of jimmying the lock on the door so good old dad couldn’t get in to complete the punishment. With that not working we decided to fold and shove the note into the lock as a improvised time capsule in case we were never heard from again.

I’m guessing 45 minutes later it was forgotten.
20 years later I’m told my dad found this note, no one could remember what the crime was for. But the old coot went and framed the damn thing and hung it in the very room we thought we would spend eternity in.

Frickin’ Rampage… I cursed that game for years. My next door neighbor and I sat one day for what felt like 8 hours straight and played Rampage on Nintendo start to finish. We were kicking it’s ass (I was George, because he had my name and he was King Kong.. he rocked) so we played from breakfast, through lunch… finally we got to the last stage and after what seemed like forever we beat it… we won! We sat anticipating accolades and videos of destruction, something… anything to reward our hard work and devastation… the screen goes black and the word “CONGRATULATIONS” flashes across the screen. Then the game goes back to the title screen. I think the silence in the room lasted a good 5 minutes as we tried to wrap our heads around the disappoint we were just served on a platter…

Rev, actually from my experiences I’d say naming your dog lucky may have sealed her fate. Every pet i’ve ever known with that name never turns out to be lucky.

doho - that sounds like a pretty damn good thursday to me. 1 PM is just about the right time of day for me to wake up. Any earlier feels like a compromise.

Most days, however, I’ve been up for about 7 hours by then. I am working against my nature! No wonder everything is such a struggle.

I can’t keep morning schedules to save my life, or jobs. If it’s not just me, I swear our bodies were designed to sleep in the morning and early afternoon and go to bed at night, an hour or two before the sun starts to rise.

There’s just something about being awake in the morning that just does not work for me.

god, i dont think my body would even let me sleep that late anymore, but i used to do it every weekend.

i love the drawings matt finds from his childhood. they would make great x-e t-shirts.

No matter how early I go to bed my body always hates me for getting up at 6 a.m. When I’m able to sleep later is the only time I truly feel 100% normal. I agree that our bodies were not meant to wake up when it’s still dark out.

MJ the thing about the cat made me laugh…I have two dogs that won’t let me sleep past about 7:30!!! Got to love responsibility!

Double G, my little brother and I had that exact same experience with the NES Rampage. We were SO excited because we finally beat it, only to be soo disappointed at the “ending”. Makes me laugh just thinking about how we, too, sat in silence for like five minutes and then turned off the Nintendo in disgust.

Rampage is notoriously unrewarding and monotonous. It’s still fun to blow a little steam off but I imagine the first few stages are played more than the last few by a 500,000 to 1 times ratio.

But I should add, if I could have played as the Stay Puft Marshmellow man, I wouldn’t have cared.

Damn! That page is blocked here at work. What’s it say? Something along the lines of, “No Bill! Spy Hunter never ends! You’ve wasted your life trying. Loser!”?

It’s a big entry on the arcade version of Spyhunter, but this is the one that answers the question:

“The game has no end and at no time does the player ever leave the car but it was RUMORED to have a graveyard sequence, an actual end and a sequence where the player exited the car for on-foot action.”

I used to write letters to my cousin who lived in Mississippi. I haven’t seen any of them in ten plus years but vaguely remember some of the details. We used to draw all kinds of stuff back and forth to one another and came up with some characters. His character was a hound dog named “Spot” that had a big spot over his eye, and mine was a wolf named “Silver”. They both walked on two legs and so forth. We ended up making a whole bunch of characters for this animal club (that saved other animals that were in trouble). I was obsessed with ferrets, so there was that, and a female dog with a pony tail. The most unusual one was Silver’s brother who was named Sonic (and was real fast…imagine that) and had a bandanna tied around his head like a Ninja turtle and nunchuks.

I also remember LARP-ing (kid style) Final Fantasy when we were 9 or 10 in my parent’s backyard forested area wielding He Man/She Ra swords and shields and a big stick for our other cousin. We were WAY ahead of the time (LARPing, FF fanboys, etc)

I always thought APB would have an ending. I played it for a LONG time straight one time and never saw one. I had the most wanted list filled up with arrests too and didn’t miss a one.

Remind me…was APB the one where you were a cop and you had to drive through doughnut shops and stuff? I seem to remember the title screen…was there a fat cop and a skinny cop?

Yes, that the one. It had flashing lights that lit up on top of the machine when you turned them on in the game too.

I remember the game, but never knew the name of it!! Please tell me it’s available in emulation somewhere!

I’ve been obsessed with “I Wanna Be The Guy.” It’s like the hardest and most violent Super Mario Brothers takeoff ever. I can only get to the “Tetris” screen, then I die. But I will conquer it… oh yes. I will.

Been working too much these days. Sleep has once again become my enemy. Coffee is the black blood that drives me. I am tired and wired simultaneously. Makes me a little ornery.

I remember once I sent a letter to a friend in a town I had moved away from. He sent me back this bizarre reply: it was numbered 1 - 10 and at each number there was a short statement. I had no idea - even my mom couldn’t figure it out. Months later I visited him for a week or two over the summer. He asked “Did you get my letter?” I said “I didn’t understand it.” He said he had answered all of the questions I asked him in my letter. Obviously without my original letter it was completely out of context and looked to be madness…

Matt is Bag o Jokes from that magic shop in Pee wee’s Big adventure? I think it was written on the shopping bag he used to put the gags in he bought.

What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on a bug….dead ant dead ant deadant deadant deadant(sung to the toon of pink panther)

I’m with the “bag of laughs” crowd, I think it’s just a mislabled “bag o laughs” toy, I’m a few years older than you, Matt, and I had an older brother who had one from the 60s and I loved it. I think they still made them into the 80s. It was a fabric bag with a drawstring (orange IIRC) and it just had this plastic thing inside that played recorded laughter and shook (like a dualshock PS2 controller) when you touched it. Ringing any bells?

But it’s not a bag of or o laughs. It’s a bag of or o jokes. Thus, it’s a bag with a penis in it. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.

Well I FINALLY found the new dew flavors!=) Two of them anyway. I got Supernova and Revolution. They didn’t have the third. I can’t remember its name. Haven’t tasted Revolution , but Supernova tastes great!

Heh, there was a dude behind me in line at Target that was asking about the new Dew flavors. I don’t think the worker knew what he was talking about.

Sad news…Grandmama passed away this morning. She was 94 years old. I spent so many weekends at her house when I was a kid…

Annette I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear that Annette.=( I almost lost my Granny just a few months ago . I’ll keep her in my prayers.

Hey all! Long time no see, no blog updatey on my part. I gotta go do a solid month with the “Large Air Organization that Bombs Stuff”. Sorry for the lack of participation, maybe it’ll step up if I get evenings free and wireless internet on base. We shall see.

I’ll probably be in a group in the day and at night â€“ which I loathe, and is especially hilarious since the military is all about being in groups.

Oh my goodness, I am so happy that i returned to read the site when you posted a doodle. these are my absolute favorite posts because it reminds me of this journal i found that i kept when i was in 5th grade. it was wonderful reading the random things that you drew, i really hope there are more old doodles in the future.

Thanks for the shout out Ultraman. Hoping to make the MegaParty a daily destination once on base.

Also, posting cause I felt like a jackass not giving my condolences to Annette. I lost my Grandma two years ago, and it hurt bad. I’m real sorry and that, I found out, is about all that a person can say. Just the knowing that someone else knows what you feel is all that helps.

Annette, as others have said, Sorry for your loss. also, to maybe pick up the mood a little, when you guys are in stores and looking at toy sections or for those random food items that were featured on X-E, and you see another person looking at the same thing, do you think that maybe they too read the site? i always want to ask them if they read it, but then i would be a total creeper, and then when i told them the website name i would have to say “I SWEAR ITS NOT PORN”

Leigha, that is funny. I always wonder, but then I think I am the only one in my state that is on here…I dont live in a powerhouse state like Okalahoma or Texas. But I am always afraid that someone at work will see x-e in my web history and think I am looking at the boobies.

Leigha- A little late in posting, but I just have to echo your “I SWEAR IT’S NOT PORN” proclamation…
I can’t tell you how many times the “X-E” URL has come up either in my address bar or internet history, requiring explanation. The sad thing is that I encounter more raised eyebrows for X-E’s actual content than I would had it been porn

Long Live X-E

I forgot to mention earlier that I also got some of those kraft mac N cheese crackers. They’re pretty good. A little cheesier than the average cheese cracker. I also tasted revolution too. It’s tasty, but i like super nova a little better.

Just watched the trailer for Mega Man 9, and all I can is, I now know true happiness! =)

Annette I’m sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. All my grandparents are gone, so I know how you feel.

Wanted to mention this last night, but the wife commandeered the laptop. I used to draw these comics when I was younger, The Adventures of Flyboy (a fly, obviously) and The Adventures of Action Kat and Mighty Mutt. Flyboy always got smashed, Action Kat and Mighty Mutt always got run over…and the moral was always Don’t do drugs, which had nothing to do with the story.

What really made this for me is the Lamborghini Countach in the STAMP. It fits so perfectly with being the awesomest car for a kid in the late eighties. Being a tad younger, it was the Lamborghini Diablo for me, as well as the Ferrari Testarossa.

Hate to even admit this,but while this was very funny it was also sweet, in that innocent little kid way. Made me think of when my boys were younger and would once in a blue moon draw things for me like that. Thanks Matt
