Monster Rap.

Hello!

I was going to post this as a comment, but considering that the last thread is nearing 1000 comments (all positive) and takes about seventeen minutes to load, we may as well start anew.

I'm alive and unchanged. Seriously, I've just been working. A lot. It's been a less-than-ideal grind and I very much look forward to the current wave passing so I can get back to doing what I love to do best: Nothing, with a side of you.

Some of you have expressed interest in an early return for the Halloween Juke. I couldn't agree more and will try to include this soon as a partial mea culpa. I've been listening to that shit constantly, though I don't know if it has as much to do with me wanting Halloween as it does the fact that Geico's "Somebody's Watching Me" commercial airs 772 times each hour.

Also, there was an a site in circulation that evidently attempted to redirect users to a bad place. I cannot lie: I thought you guys were mistaken, but you were right, and the ad guys at UGO (and me) really, sincerely apologize for any trouble it caused. It's been eradicated and you should have no further trouble.

I finally watched that Clone Wars movie. Now, I was as hard on the prequels as anyone, but despite what seemed to be common opinion, I really didn't think it was bad at all. Granted, I fell asleep halfway through, but I'm assuming it grew no more offensive from there. Plus, the first reveal of Jabba's son, suddenly crawling out and goo-goo gah-ing with absolutely no build or fanfare, cracked me up so much that I had to rewind the scene seven times before watching the rest of (or the rest of the first half of) the movie.

Very odd to hear an ice cream truck's jingle playing during a thunderstorm in early April, but I swear, I just did.

All you talking about Ice Cream… it is snowing outside here. I declare, sometimes Canada really does live up to its reputation of snow 24/7/365.

Anyways, good to have you back Matt, hope work lightens up for you. I’ve been in a Halloween mood lately too, for some reason.

Whoah finally! No joke about Halloween. I guess because Spring is kind of Fall like. We just hit a horror con last weekend, too, so that didn’t help :D Super lucky about the ice cream truck!

Chestnuts roasted by Eddie Lightning Frog @ 04/06/2009 9:01 PM

I’m totally ready for some Halloween jukebox. So far this is an unseasonably chilly spring here in Florida, and today it was all windy so I found myself REALLY craving October.

My twitter is @elfstar. I would add the caveat that it’s incredibly boring, but then the whole point of Twitter is to share mundane crap, so I suppose that’s kind of a given.

Also, I live in a rural area and feel completely gypped that we’ve never had an ice cream truck, EVER. My best friend’s neighborhood had one, though, and I practically lived at her house one summer, so I do still have some sort of Pavlovian reaction where if I hear “The Entertainer” I suddenly really, really want a popsicle.

My landlord (who only speaks French, so THAT’s fun) drove to my house today to tell me to take down the Xmas lights outside…they haven’t been LIT since Jan.10th, so what’s the problem? He opened the door, pointed at the lights, and ranted. *hangs head in shame*

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 04/06/2009 10:11 PM

re-bookmarked.

Chestnuts roasted by buzzard @ 04/06/2009 10:37 PM

Muppet Baby: I don’t see what the problem is. Your not hurting anybody by leavin lights up. I can’t stand jerk landlords. No need to hang your head in shame. :)
Tomorrow I’m going to go to my local Dairy Queen. Yes a DQ is open this early in the year. I can’t believe it either.
Another Congo toy review would be nice.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 04/06/2009 10:59 PM

Muppet Baby-

I still have lights up in my kitchen. I just now call them ‘festive lights’. In reality, I am lazy.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 04/06/2009 11:36 PM

I didn’t really like Ep 1 or 2, but even I have to say that the last 45 minutes or so of Ep 3 were totally epic, and in my mind justified slogging through the rest of the prequels to see. Obi Wan vs. Anakin! WOOOOT!

I’d love to see an X-E Twitter feed. I’m @DrSketch if anyone is interested…

Chestnuts roasted by Dr. Sketch @ 04/06/2009 11:41 PM

Welcome back Matt!

At our old house, we had like three strands of lights intertwined on the porch; white ones, multi’s, and orange for Halloween. You just switched which plug to use depending on the season.

We would also plug them in to signal the pizza guy which house was ours! :)

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 04/06/2009 11:49 PM

Great to have you back, Matt!

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 04/06/2009 11:54 PM

We leave our Christmas lights up all year, because we’re lazy and we don’t trust our 30 year old wooden ladder. They go nicely with the defunct car and overgrown grass in our yard.

I kind of want to put some colored lights just for fun, though, but I don’t know what color would be good for this time of year. I think that’s why I like fall and winter the best, there’s obvious seasonal themes and they’re fun ones. Nothing for spring and summer but bunnies and flowers and stuff. Bah!

Chestnuts roasted by jazzy @ 04/07/2009 12:02 AM

Monster Rap as in The Monster Squad Rap?

hehehe

Chestnuts roasted by Dewey @ 04/07/2009 12:06 AM

Whoo new Post!

ULTRAMAN
Wait, you mean your Dairy Queens close? Ours are open year round. Of course, I am in Texas where your small town Dairy Queen is pretty much the most happingness place in town. I don’t think that’s a word, but I’m rolling with it.

I’m @Cameron_Talley on twitter if anyone wants to follow me. I promise no life-changing insights, though!

It’s supposed to freeze tonight. In CENTRAL TEXAS. In April. WTF?

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 04/07/2009 12:17 AM

ULTRAMAN Dairy Queen is open all year round, right? Ours is. I actually am signed up on their newsletter so I get buy one get one free coupons for blizzards every once in a while.

My twitter is @Goobian. IMO my twitters are actually quite amusing. Dr Drew and his wife seem to think so they both follow me on there. It is my quote on the Ghoulies IV DVD, please don’t take it from me.

Also I wanted to tell you if you need more content to check everyday since April 1st I have been posting vlogs everyday on my youtube account. I am going to do it all month. Also don’t think I have abandoned you, I am actually looking forward to the Megaparty in a few months. I just have been concentrating on some personal things (as you could tell if you watched my videos this last few days) so don’t feel bad. I just don’t want people saying, “See? It’s so bad GOOB doesn’t come around anymore either!! People are leaving! Even the loyal regulars!” I just needed a break.

Chestnuts roasted by Goob @ 04/07/2009 12:19 AM

XE on twitter?? C’mon guys… Matt barely has enough time for the site! Dont drag his attention to some overrated fad like twitter. IMO of course. Please dont become a twitter zombie, Matt. Of course I can wish in one hand and defecate in the other and see which one comes first.

Chestnuts roasted by dave @ 04/07/2009 12:55 AM

Welcome back Matt!

I agree on the twitter thing. I’d like to see one from you and one from Robert Berry from Retrocrush.

And of course, I’ll shamelessly promote myself as @mysteryd8 on there too. I update from my phone. The limited-space structure is intriguing.

Chestnuts roasted by MysteryD8 @ 04/07/2009 1:25 AM

Odd. As soon as I hit the post button, I was redirected to some pop-up-crazy fake virus-protection site. Is that the bad site you were talking about?

Chestnuts roasted by MysteryD8 @ 04/07/2009 1:30 AM

@mama’s boy

Yep, that’s the same thing I got. I assume you use firefox as well?

It only happened the first time, not the second.

Chestnuts roasted by MysteryD8 @ 04/07/2009 1:35 AM

Twitter, seems to have just started showing up everywhere within the past few days despite existing for a couple years now. For example, and I’m not making this up, as I’m typing this, David Moss mentioned it during an interview with Russel Crowe. David Moss is known in Cleveland as the Mossman, making him one of my favorite local celebrities because he shares a name with a Masters of the Universe character. Did anyone else’s Mossman action figure smell kind of like lotion? Mine sure did.
Anyway, yeah, Halloween Jukebox would be ahhight in my book, Matt.
Muppet Baby, I would have loved to see that X-Mas lights fiasco.

Chestnuts roasted by Lucky @ 04/07/2009 1:46 AM

Welcome back, Matt!

And me Twitter be @kg4uzj

Yarr!

Chestnuts roasted by Capt. Will @ 04/07/2009 1:57 AM

Matt!!! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the new thread :mrgreen:

I haven’t watched the Clone Wars movie yet, but I gave the show a shot one recent Saturday morning in place of my usual Spongebob and I found it wholly inoffensive.

Lonestar76, I don’t know why but I got a kick out of somebody else knowing raspa. You really have trucks that drive around? Around here we have guys with carts, either with raspa or paletas or roasted corn with mayo, but the ice cream trucks are still on the road too.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 04/07/2009 3:10 AM

I loved Attack Of The Clones! It was stupid silliness, but boy was it fun as hell! Revenge Of The Sith wasn’t as good – the drama of Anakin turning bad just didn’t work, ‘cos they were still somehow trying to keep him as a hero or something… “see kids – bad is good, but WRONG!”

My throat hurts.
