07/16/2008: X-E’s ‘08 Summer Megaparty: Gazzler!

Since I seem to have disgusted a great many of you with yesterday’s entry on the Bullshot, tonight I’ll stick to something that everybody loves: Bubbles!

Course, saying that “everybody loves bubbles” is a clear invitation for some smarmy prick to post a comment about how he or she hates them. If that happens, tomorrow’s post is about the Karen Ross Congo figure.


From Funrise’s Gazillion Bubbles collection, meet GAZZLER! As I understand it, Gazzler is a three-eyed mutant lizard dog who exists solely for the purpose of spitting hundreds of bubbles at speeds that exceed all human comprehension. And as if the traits listed in the previous sentence didn’t make Gazzler impressive enough, note that he’s been inhumanly stitched onto a gun, transforming him from a bubble-spitting mutant to a bubble-spitting mutant that you can shoot!

It’s tough to imagine the path of action that brought Gazzlers into production, but I’m glad they’re here. Bubbles should be fun for everyone, but there’s no denying the female-targeted stigma they hold once the wand-wielder gets beyond age five. Guys need bubble fun too, and nothing makes bubbles more acceptable for men than a three-eyed mutant lizard dog who throws them up at top speeds.


Gazzler performs his task well, though the velocity at which he hurls his bubbles means that the fragile orbs only get to live for a second or two before popping from the pressure. On the flipside, it’s obvious that Gazzler’s secret purpose is to allow small children to beam other small children in the face with lots and lots of bubbles. For those ends, he’s an amazing achievement in mutant lizard dog bubble-shooting technology.

Whereas most mutant lizard dogs live and breathe through the magic of accursed ichor, Gazzler just needs a couple of “AA” batteries. I’m also just now realizing that if you don’t provide Gazzler with his included stock of bubble liquid, he makes an absolutely amazing portable fan. I’m sitting here all refreshed, with a face full of nice, buzzing Gazzler throat air. This is the highlight of my day and I’m not afraid to admit it.

I made a sucky YouTube video of Gazzler in action, because I know you’re having a tough time believing that there’s a mass-produced series of three-eyed, bubble-blowing mutant lizard dogs. In terms of proof, visual aids are always effective.

In closing, Bullshots are awesome and everyone should drink spiked beef stock.

I wouldn’t say that the Bullshot blog disgusted me, not at all. As a non drinker though I simply didn’t find any joy in that piece. But one out of sixteen for the summer so far is a great record. Thank you very much for all the fun.

Now if you don’t mind me asking Matt. Will the Halloween JukeBox be out before or after the Summer JukeBox, I’m starting to wonder?

Squee, I had the exact same reason for missing out on Batman Begins…Katie Holmes gives me the willies. But it’s so not a good reason to miss it. I just saw it last week in preparation for the new one and it was awesome. Michael Caine is worth the price of the rental alone. Katie isn’t in it enough to make you go EW too much, and (IMHO) her character is a total bitch so it’s okay to hate her even IN the context of the movie, haha. :) Go, rent!

I love Bubbles, always have, always will, but… I guess I was expecting more from this guy. I had visions of him eternally blowing bubbles as soon as you pulled the trigger, and not stopping till you let go. Oh well… the way the wand dips down for more bubble juice reminds me of his tongue, so that’s pretty cool. :)

Did you HAVE to remind us throw-uppers in that last sentence/statement??? -_-; Gah!

Ghosted by Ryane @ 07/17/2008 12:56 PM EDT


Neg…I have to wait until the 25th for Dark Knight, so right now I’m watching you through very narrowed eyes!

On the plus side for us poor Brits, BK have re-issued their Spiderman 3 “Dark Whopper” as the Dark Knight “Dark Whopper”…pepperjack cheese, Black-Pepper Ketchup and Grill Sauce. Hells to the yes. There are only a few things in life more filled with smexy. ^_^

Guise – I must know what this Black Pepper Ketchup is, that you speak of! Those are my 2 favorite spices/condiments!

Ghosted by Ryane @ 07/17/2008 1:25 PM EDT


I won’t get to see TDK for a couple weeks, probably. It would be nice if before then, I could score a copy of Batman Begins, since I haven’t been able to find one that isn’t A. fullscreen B. 20 bucks.

Ghosted by Annette @ 07/17/2008 1:32 PM EDT


Ryane – from the taste it is either a) cracked black pepper mixed in good quantity to add some real kick to the ketchup, b) the most kinkiest, rowdiest hotel stay involving two consenting adults pureed and slopped on to a burger.

It’s…quite tasty.

I’m staying away from here till the end of the weekend. People are starting to talk about the Dark Knight as if they’ve seen it and if I get one sip of spoilers I’m going to go postal.

Ghosted by doho in the summer @ 07/17/2008 1:41 PM EDT


And Squee, get past Katie Holmes and watch Batman Begins because it’s an excellent movie.

Ghosted by doho in the summer @ 07/17/2008 1:45 PM EDT


Watching Begins again, tonight. I might see Hellboy II Saturday or Sunday morning.

WE SHALL SEE HOW IT PANS OUT.

Hey, Doho…Vader is Luke’s father. XD

What if there was a Karen Ross gun which shot thousands of Karen Ross figures at people? “The Karen Razzler”?

Ghosted by Barry @ 07/17/2008 1:56 PM EDT


Oh, Guise, have I ever missed you :D
Thanks for the advice, guys. I actually recorded Begins off FX a couple weeks ago and started watching it but it got bumped when I ran out of space. I will watch it some time but if I have to see it before I watch the new one I’ll never get to it in time and would probably just end up seeing Indy again or something.

I have been pretty bubble obsessed since i was around 7 years old. I only slightly liked them up to that point, but in the summer of my 7th year, I went to science camp, and on one of the last days, we made huge bubbles. what we did was there was a kiddie pool filled with bubble-juice, and a kid stood in the center of it, and then we put a hula hoop around the kid and lifted it up so that the kid was encompassed by the bubble. i was so excited when it was my turn to be enveloped by a bubble, and it is one of my favorite bubble memories.

I just bought a Gazillion bubble machine for my dogs and they LOVE it. Now all you have to say is “get the bubbles” and they are running around like lunatics. Best $10 dog toy ever.

Ghosted by Tricia @ 07/17/2008 2:42 PM EDT


The only Batman fast food promotion I’ve seen is the “Gotham City” pizza from Papa Johns. It’s nothing more than a pepperoni pizza.

Just got back from seeing “Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D.” If you have never seen a 3D movie I recommend going to it just based on that. It’s very cool.

Where is everyone today? Bubbles not an exciting subject for people?

And yo- that Black Canary Barbie is major hotness. I wants one madly.

Ghosted by kittymao @ 07/17/2008 4:48 PM EDT


We used to buy bubbles to let our cats play with…laser pointers are also fun with cats.

When I was in the hospital, my friends bought me a bubble gun. I used it to ambush my nurses and therapists.

Holmes isn’t that bad in Batman Begins, especially near the end…she’s smuggling raisins.

Oh, and doho, Bruce Willis is dead the whole time.

Ohhh Guise… You’ve taken my breath away with that description. :shock: *has visions of a certain man she knows*

I can only pray that they sell this ambrosia somewhere, or at least have it in little packets that I could steal… *sigh* Because I know if I try to make it myself, as simple as it sounds, it would never come close. Not with that description. :D

Ghosted by Ryane @ 07/17/2008 5:58 PM EDT


Just thought I’d chime in that I saw “The Dark Knight” last night on a sneak preview, and that yes, it is indeed incredible and very very good. That is all.

Ghosted by Beckner @ 07/17/2008 6:22 PM EDT


I can’t wait to see “The Dark Knight” I unfortunately am not seeing it until Tuesday b/c I have to wait on people! I’m pumped though!

Oh man I got a funny story for ya’ll. My brother took a trip to Virginia a week ago, and he only intended to stay for a couple days, but had to stay well over a week because his car broke down on him. When he FINALLY got it fixed, he DESTROYED it big time in a HEAD ON collision, because he was goin down a one way street. I don’t know why he was going down a one way street, but he was. The crash caused all the airbags to come out all at once, except for the one in front of my sister in law. She got a concussion from her head slaming full force into the dashboard. All the doors were opened at once too from the impact, allowing their dog to escape into the woods. Then they all had to be taken to the hospital to get X-rayed to make sure they were all right. They’re fine(mostly), including the youngins. So long story short, their car is DESTROYED, their dog is gone, and my brother and my sister in law are pretty beat up. Now I obviously wouldn’t find this hysterical if they had been seriously injured, but since it was just the car that was destroyed, because their mistake of going down a one way street, I find it HILARIOUS! I can’t believe he did something that STUPID! I love my brother ,I really do, but sometimes I wonder about him. The kids are just fine, thanks to the seat belts. Which just goes to show you ALWAYS buckle up. So this is YET ANOTHER accident for my sister in law. Honestly she is a LIVING CARTOON CHARACTER! XD Hopefully you found this funny like me. It’s ok to laugh their OK!

Friendly warning to everyone seeing the Dark Knight to be wary of spoilers, even here! :)

Ghosted by Neg @ 07/17/2008 7:50 PM EDT


I hate to nitpick but the “Gotham City Pizza” is from Dominos and Papa John’s is promoting the new Mummy movie. I also do not understand the connection between Gotham City and 50 % more pepporni on a slab of tomato slathered cardboard…must have a high rate of heart attacks in Gotham City.

This reminds me of the Billion Bubble Machine from “Robot Monster”, mainly just because both items make a heck of a lot of bubbles.

Ghosted by Mike Podgorski @ 07/17/2008 8:36 PM EDT


Yeah, I can’t believe they had to have that whole kryptonite subplot. No one wants a Superman/ Batman crossover but it sure looks like Nolan is hellbent.

Mandy I think there’s one around here, I’ll check it out. I’m picky as fuck with clothes, though. Hey guess what I did today? Spent 2½ hours in a seminar about modifier usage with a rep from Medicare. I still don’t think I understand 25. @_@

one of my bosses at my last job had something like this… he liked to sneak back to the cubicles and shoot it off at odd times to see who would notice… he also was far too comfortable in a whinnie the poo costume… yeah that needed to stop… ANYWAY, on a lighter note, im sorry matt butt the Bullshot sounds like a horrible way to spend an evening… an evening that ends with runny beef vomit (ewwwwww… i may have just crossed a line there…sorry) if you wanna try a mans drink make yourself a Prarie Fire shot… that one’ll put a feather in your cap and a few more hairs on your chest for sure!

2. Matt have you ever exhaled smoke into a bubble wand? its awwwesome. When the bubbles burst its a fun explosion of smoke.

Annette, I think I saw an ad for Batman Begins on sale somewhere. Do you live near a Circuit City?

Ghosted by Hoverbored @ 07/17/2008 11:05 PM EDT


First of all, spoil me away. I’m not a Batman fan. I prefer Superman for DC Universe. Call me when they have a follow-up to “Superman Returns” that moves a little faster than my brother’s pet turtle.

Second, that wand looks like fun, and yes, I’m a girl too. Hell, I still blow bubbles from time to time. (It helps to have an excuse – I have a three year old nephew and dozens of toddler and young child cousins and almost-sort-of-relatives.)

Ghosted by starwenn @ 07/17/2008 11:18 PM EDT


Right now I’m thinking that the Gazzler would make a neat sex toy… Having said that, I would have loved to have one of those as a kid, for less kinky purposes. Too bad I never got anything that cool unless my boy cousins got one. Boy toys were so much more awesome.
