I was hoping my first post after a seventeen year drought of blog entries would be more substantial, but I had work today, so all you get is filler.

The Advent Calendar isn’t finished. I feel okay with this, because we still haven’t taken down our Christmas tree. I’m serious. And it’s a real tree. And the decorations are still on it. And it’s right in the middle of our living room window, so it’s not like we can keep this dastardly secret to ourselves. Believe me, it has nothing to do with refusing to let go. When you get down to it, we’re just kind of disgusting,

Or maybe the Advent Calendar is finished, but linked in mysterious ways. It’s very doubtful and I’m probably lying.

I don’t owe anyone anything. I was quoted on the Ghoulies IV DVD box, for Christ’s sake. You’re lucky I turned down Hollywood.

I hope everyone’s well. I don’t have work tomorrow, so unless I come up with some brillaint excuse to get out of writing, there will be new, actual content here. What will it be about? I’m not allowed to tell you.

Clearly, a survey is in order. In the comments, tell us your least favorite movie of all time. It doesn’t need to be the worst movie you’ve ever seen, because bad movies can be great. Muster all of your personal bias, and present the reasons why “Movie X” makes you want to kill people with rocks.

Once I finish building my robot, I’ll join in.

X-Entertainment has roots which run too deep in mystery for me. I’ll never figure it all out. Probably I’ll never even try.

What I do want to note, however, is that thanks to the lack of an update, the party is ON. I’m gonna drink Witch Doctors and Mudslides until my head falls off. Lobsta dumplings baby!

Hey now! I got Safari running again, and I see the party is still chuggin’ on and on. Any longer, and I’m putting anti-grav engines on this mess, and we’re going raiding!

This morning, I was alerted by the radio dudes I listen to in the morning about a dish called the BACON EXPLOSION. All I can pass along at the moment, pending further research, is that one starts by weaving a basket of bacon, and lining it with Italian sausage. I may have to grow an extra heart like that poor sap on “Eleventh Hour” last night just to survive reading the recipie.

Anyone didn’t do of the video game Ai Choaniki? Because as for those I think of that you sell just that here, the game must be imported. The fact that it invades the earth with that is obtained. Actually pleasure.

Coward- may I call you Noel? Noel, Matt has clearly not given up on the site, as someone had to have moderated all of those troll posts into cyber-oblivion. Perhaps the following post would be more accurate:

Matt has not made this site a priority of late and neither should you. As of today, I won’t…

See? Much more accurate.

Accurate or not, however, I’m staying and I suspect most of the X-E regulars will too. Godspeed to you, though.

it’s only been 2 weeks. everyone calm down. Matt just finished a big season – Halloween countdown, and Christmas, he deserves a month off. Personally I say scrap the advent – it’s over.

lets all move on.

Kid Nicky: I actually watched the 30s King Kong recently when TCM played it. It was good, but I definately prefer the Peter Jackson version. About the only thing I think the 30s version did better is deliver the famous last line better.

Don’t get me wrong, the 30s version is still a good movie (and is definately WAY better than the atrocious remake from the 70s) but Peter Jackson just did it better in almost everything you can think of.

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 01/30/2009 4:41 PM EST

Cho-aniki? Big sweaty musclemen shooting sweaty lasers at bigger sweaty musclemen? The (in)famous shooter series with homoerotic under-and-overtones of which “Ai Cho-aniki” is part of? Also known as one of the harder to complete shooters made?

Never heard of it.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 01/30/2009 4:52 PM EST

[b]kingklash[/b], I’m curious…which radio dudes do you listen to? I’m partial to Mark & Brian myself.

That sausage-filled bacon basket does sound like a grease bomb. I prefer my bacon solo, uncluttered by other meat. Italian sausage has its place; specifically mixed half-and-half with lean ground round as a base for meatballs….yum.

Ghosted by Trish @ 01/30/2009 5:27 PM EST

JLAJRC, I’m with you 100%. I’ve caught the 30’s Kong on TCM recently as well. Of course, it’s a wonderful movie, especially when Kong is onscreen, and I’ll watch it if nothing’s on, but that’s contrasted with the fact that I could write iambic odes to every single human character in Jackson’s Kong. Especially Lumpy <3 And that’s not even getting into the giant fucking bugs!

When it comes down to it, what was so special about King Kong was the fact that it made kids dream about what movies could be. And to anybody that says Jackson didn’t, I would say, “T-Rex fight”.

I listen to “BOB’s Big Breakfast”, and it’s previous incarnation, and it’s previous home on another channel, which means I was there for the breakdowns of two previous DJs. If you look it up on OKC-based websites, you might just have an idea who got booted first from the Home of Klassic RoXOngs, and the later public display down the dial. The latter made it to Metro newscasts.

Also, the BACON EXPLOSION is covered in BBQ sauce and thrown into a smoker (a cooker, not your uncle with the cigars) and baked for a good long time, sliced up and slapped on a bun. What an incredible thing to do to a pig.

Is there any food bacon can’t improve? Sure. But there’s alot more that it can.

I’ll eat Baco Bits from the bottle. Yeah, old habit. Friend of mine used to steal whole trays of them on Salad days at our highschool.

We had “drinking” contests. Jello shots got nothing on Baco Shots, mang.

I love to eat bacon bits straight from the bottle too. Obviously I’m not a health fan. lol.

This is probably very gross, but when I was younger I briefly loved snacking on raw bacon. I stopped when my mom told me about food poisoning.

Rev., it was I who was impersonating you. But I’m one step ahead of you…I’m so sweet, if you eat my soul, Wilford Brimley will do things to you Richard Ramirez and Albert Fish can’t even imagine.

Aww, who am I kidding? I’m not cool enough to impersonate Rev.

The Bacon Explosion made me think of the Double Bypass Burger from The Vortex: A big sirloin patty topped with two fried eggs, four slices of American cheese, and five slices of bacon, WITH TWO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES REPLACING THE BUNS.

Teddy Ray:They should call that burger the Death Wish.

I notice that Yuan Jing sort of reminds me of MegaHAL, which is basically a conversation simulator that, more often than not, often ends up making absolutely no sense.

Here’s a link to some quotes of his. http://megahal.alioth.debian.org/Classic.html

Also, come on guys, evertybody needs a break sometimes. I’m assuming most of you guys have jobs, and if asked to prioritize between that job, and constantly updating a site about toys and 80’s fads, you’d put the job first until your schedule cleared.

Tresjolie, it tends to be a fairly recent posters who pick up impersonators. As indicated by the post by “JLAJRC”.

F13 comes out, well, Friday the 13th, doesn’t it? Leaves Valentine’s Day free!

JLAJRC – Awwww, thanks man. I wish you were with me too – especially if you like Star Wars, Firefly, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, He-Man, Thundercats or The Muppet Show. These are things Whats-his-name doesn’t care for and I usually watch alone. :(

Ghosted by Muppet Baby @ 01/31/2009 3:10 AM EST

I have to be honest, there have been down times before but this time I am honestly a little concerned myself. I have remained optimistic, but I am wondering if there is something more going on here. There was somebody that did some moderating on the comments the other day, and as far as I know the only person that can do that is Matt. With all the people worrying about him why didn’t he post to at least say hi and let everyone know he is okay? Perhaps there is something bad going on right now that he doesn’t feel comfortable discussing and he wants to stay behind the scenes. I really hope that isn’t the case. If it isn’t I really hope he just gives a two sentence SNT thread just to say “I’m okay”. I think that would ease the minds of most of the people here.

Even if that isn’t the case, that still seems kinda e-stalker-y to me? Like checking someone’s account at a site to see if they’ve logged in recently?

I dunno. Sometimes people just need their space, even if we desperately want them back. If you love something set it free, and hope it wafts back into your life at some point.

I guess that’s what I’m saying.

Ghosted by 1228 @ 01/31/2009 5:10 AM EST

I believe that he’s done with the site. Take care Matt, and thank you for all of the years of entertainment that you’ve brought us.

Ghosted by Tim @ 01/31/2009 6:00 AM EST

8-bit Icarus is right. There’s a too-large group of people on here that worship the guy like a celeb,and are always trying to dig into his life and such. Remember how there used to be pictures of him on the site with some articles,and I believe his GF/family members were shown once or twice too? Obviously he feels uncomfortable about stuff like that now that so many freaks worship him.
You should be ashamed that you looked in the obituary section to discover possible links to dead family members of your favorite He-Man/Ninja Turtles blog author. You,me and the rest of us here are not Matt’s “friends” any more than we’re Adam Sandler or Brad Pitt’s “friends”. We’re fans.
