12/05/2008: Holiduh.

Woof. Long day. Just got home. Working on the Advent now, but it may be an hour or two late. Shit happens, even during Christmastime.

Let’s just call this a random thread for now. I’ll update this post when the Advent is up to date. :)

EDIT: AC’s been updated for December 5th. Technically, I wasn’t late!

Stay Tuned vs. Click. Who had the better remote?

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 12/06/2008 6:27 PM EST

Well, I’m glad to hear it’s not as bad as it sounded, Cameron.

I wish it would snow here! It was pretty cold for the past couple of days but today it’s a bit warmer than normal (but still cool).

Matt, just out of curiosity, when you update the calendar is there a scheduled time of day you’re shooting for, or do you just post entries whenever you happen to finish them?

Ghosted by lightningkick @ 12/06/2008 7:20 PM EST

JLAJRC: Stay Tuned without a doubt! The click remote could mess with our dimension, but the stay tuned remote could do that AND transport you to OTHER dimensions too! Plus, once you were there, it could mess with those dimensions too.
Man, I JUST got up from a REALLY long nap. I woke up earlier today, but I fell back asleep after being up for an hour. Also, it’s FINALLY started to snow in my neck of the woods!!! =)The temp. has also dropped to WAY BEYOND FREEZIN! HAPPY SNT YA’LLL!!! =D I’ll be on smash land later tonight.

The concept of Stay Tuned — that the devil could take control of your TV, suck you into it, and torture you on the TV shows — scared me to absolute death, and I did not see it until many years later when it aired on network affiliate TV.

I got the sense they thought the movie would be a bigger deal than it was. Chuck Jones himself directed the animated segment, and the entire plot is derailed for a few minutes to make room for a Salt ‘n Pepa music video.

Sorry for the lack of SNT. :) Trying to make AC deadline. Also took the pics for a looong blog entry (or a bunch of little ones). It’s a’comin.

And…IT’S SNOWING!!

Ghosted by Matt @ 12/06/2008 10:45 PM EST

My car slid out of control in the snow twice. :(

Stayed overnight in Hershey last night and got up early today to go for my coding certification exam. Finished just in time (5½ hours), and I think I did pretty well. Hershey is a lot easier to get to than I thought… I’m considering going back for Christmas festivities but I doubt I’ll have the fundage.

Ghosted by Mystie @ 12/06/2008 10:50 PM EST

Only by starting a sentence with the word “Hershey” could I have misread “fundage” as “sundae.”

Ghosted by Matt @ 12/06/2008 10:52 PM EST

Anybody in a Brawlin mood? I’ll be on in a few. The more the merrier. =)

Gralf im in St john’s. sorry abt the late response.

Matt,you should totally check it out sometime,you can see where the chocolate is made and umm..actually it isn’t that cool. :(

Ghosted by Kid Nicky @ 12/06/2008 11:23 PM EST

Whew. made it. :)

Ghosted by Matt @ 12/07/2008 12:23 AM EST

You’ve done it again, Matt. Awesome.

Kuse speaks!

Hmm…What kind of agenda does Man Eating Chicken have planned?

“You know I only watch the movie for that one scene!”

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 12/07/2008 12:28 AM EST

You win this round, Matt.

Ghosted by jhnnywalkr @ 12/07/2008 12:28 AM EST

OMG,this is the best entry yet! If I had a kid,I’d be damned if I let him be a fairy princess!

Ghosted by Kid Nicky @ 12/07/2008 12:30 AM EST

Thank Matt.

Ghosted by Kowl @ 12/07/2008 12:33 AM EST

Tree decorating followed by another awesome AC… great night.

Now I have to go watch Home Alone II, cause I’m a follower. I’ll do anything Mista Snowman does. Plus there are so many of Uncle Frank’s less memorable douchebag moments.

Ghosted by hobbitsubculture @ 12/07/2008 12:36 AM EST

I introduced one of my friends the Advent Calendar. No one has seen her for 2 days now. :|

Ghosted by Bill @ 12/07/2008 12:52 AM EST

Is anyone else having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit this year. This site is helping me to start to get into it. I don’t know, I think it might be because my Grandma died around this time last year, plus it doesn’t help I watch news programs all the time.

Ghosted by Rparr @ 12/07/2008 12:53 AM EST

Awesome entry as always Matt. Finally Kuse has broken his silent treatment. And for a very funny reason. Is any Brawlin gonna happen tonight? I’m game if any ya’ll are. ho ho ho!

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 12/07/2008 12:55 AM EST

I’m not doing well keeping up on the AC but I’m catching up now. Can’t believe we made it 5 days before remarkablous.
Love everything so far matt except one thing. We need more Kuse Knacks interaction. You kept them apart most of last year and Kuse has been silent this year. The Kuse Knack Mare interactions are one of the best parts of all this.

Ghosted by thejyav @ 12/07/2008 12:58 AM EST

Kuse speaks!! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to this every year so far this AC has been top notch.

Ghosted by thejyav @ 12/07/2008 1:11 AM EST

You know, I find that no viewing of Elf is complete unless I see the extra with the woman who dresses as Frosty for the entirety of the holiday season.

And talks about Christmas magic. :D

Ghosted by Moony @ 12/07/2008 1:22 AM EST

I’m in Brawl world right now. Anybody who’s interested, come find me. =)

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 12/07/2008 1:33 AM EST

Totally seconded.

Knacks Kuse and Mare are the stars. Please get them together more often. Waiterbot and Lipton are great, but more of the original trinity please.

Ghosted by Terror Claws @ 12/07/2008 1:36 AM EST

SO DRUNK. God bless tax and duty-free Jamaican rum.

Ghosted by Cheetara @ 12/07/2008 1:37 AM EST

I think the other characters deserve some more screen time. Of course the original trio should have some screen time too.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 12/07/2008 1:39 AM EST

Give it time. It’s only Day 6. =) They will have their day(s).

Ghosted by Matt @ 12/07/2008 1:40 AM EST

LOVE day 6!

Ghosted by glowsocks @ 12/07/2008 1:44 AM EST

OK has anyone else looked at the 23rd’s Batrib 2 page? The crabs referenced there look small and kind of nasty.

Ghosted by Beau @ 12/07/2008 1:45 AM EST

Hey, did anyone check out this weird site where Box 23 is? It’s not time yet! It’s so freaky!

Also, what is this “SNT” I keep hearing about?

Ghosted by Invader Norbert loves spoofing n00bs @ 12/07/2008 1:47 AM EST

Matt: Oh I have no doubt about that. I was just saying.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 12/07/2008 1:52 AM EST

Mystieglad to hear you did well. I heard Hershey park has some really pretty stuff during the Christmas season…I have to see what kind of Holiday lights thing is going on near me….With the recession and stuff I dunno if there is any kind of light thing this year. I usually like the one in Holmdel, at the PNC arts center. Its like 7 dollars a car or something. you just drive through and see the pretty light displays.

Ah well….oh yeah…anyone get a check in the mail from onlinegaming.com? Hubby got this actual check, like a paycheck looking thing, for 4500 dollars. He was supposed to cash it and send 2999 back to the company and then they would use it as a payment to cover the processing fees of the grand prize 190 thousand dollar check. SCAM obviously. But the check was real. It just bounces after 10 days.

that. was. awesome.
i wish it would snow in los angeles, it’s still t-shirt weather here.

Ghosted by stina @ 12/07/2008 1:59 AM EST

It’s 46 degrees in my corner of Georgia. I finally finished all the old ACs and am caught up on the current one. Lovin’ it. Excellent work, Matt.

Ghosted by Teddy Ray @ 12/07/2008 4:40 PM EST

i don’t know… but i hear Mista Snowman may have some competition this year,in the form of a Lego advent snowman.eh,Matt’ll probably have the clown kill it.

Ghosted by Jason @ 12/08/2008 4:15 PM EST

Drew, I actually think that if you’re looking for Waiterbot, try looking for the Utrom figure from the new Ninja Turtles toyline. Because that’s waht waiterbot is.

Also, I was wondering a few things about the Advent Callender, specifically last year’s one. First off, where the hell can I get a giant rabbit like the Leviathan? I really want one of those, just so it can lord over my toy collection. And secondly, how on earth did Matt get the idea for this new tradition of cryptic clues and mysterious nightmare-fuel hints to the story of that year’s Advent Callendar?
