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.

Ah, the magical phrase, micro-blogging. I like to drop that to make it sound more worthwhile :D

I got hooked on twitter when I tweeted Comic-Con last year, but it was the election that got me truly addicted. I could and did sit there for hours, hypnotized, watching the insanity scroll by in real time. Good times.

(Anybody have a rec for a good twitter iPhone app? I’m using twitterriffic, but I can’t retweet with it, so, it’s only half useful.)

I want to like Clone Wars, but like a recent web strip pointed out, no SW prequel is enjoyable because you know where it will end up. Don’t get all chummy with the clones, for Order 66 is coming. Although Ahsoka is sorta growing on me.

Im going to have to call shenanigans here. This post probably took no more than 10 minutes to write. You didnt have that 10 minutes for the entire month of March? I just wanted to let you know you are really disapointing the part of your fan base that actually looks forward to reading your articles. For some reason Im not getting the impression that your entirely back and wont go missing for another 3 weeks.

*hugs Matt whether he likes it or not* Welcome back, strange-a!

Clone Wars was fantastic………

30-year-old males do not use Twitter.

Chestnuts roasted by Brew Master @ 04/07/2009 1:38 PM

33-year-old Russel Brand, however, does.

Chestnuts roasted by Beann @ 04/07/2009 1:54 PM

squee4242 I started with Twitterific, but now I use Tweetie. It’s $3, but you can have multiple accounts, retweet, etc.

Chestnuts roasted by Tommy Day @ 04/07/2009 1:59 PM

Please don’t fall into the twittertrap.
Not only b/c its silly (IMO), but also b/c then I’d feel forced to get one so that I can read your ‘twits’ or whatever the eff they’re called.

Oh–Advent Calendar? PLEASE? At xmas I faithfully came here every day excited for a new installment, and its like you’ve given my eyes blue balls :(

They’re called tweets. :P

Chestnuts roasted by Tommy Day @ 04/07/2009 3:48 PM

There’s some Charlie Brown on tonite on ABC, but I’ll be watching Reaper.

Chestnuts roasted by KING JLA @ 04/07/2009 3:55 PM

I just finished watching a really cheesy horror flick on fear net called Blood Diner . It was CLASSIC cheese all the way. I’m off to check out this Twitter stuff ya’ll keep talkin about.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 04/07/2009 4:13 PM

Oh, I like to think of mine as twits, personally ;)

Tommy, thanks for the Tweetie recommendation! You have cost me $2.99, but given me so much more. I thank you, and lucky pencil sharpener Bulbasaur thanks you :D

Ultraman, I recommend you check out @sockington: http://twitter.com/sockington More to the topic, there’s always @DarthVader.

I lost track of Reaper last season. Still good?

I’m currently saying “no” to Twitter, as I already have Facebook, and the front page makes it look like Twitter already. And with this Twitter-ification, I found that I’ve gotten addicted to just changing my status every few hours, which is pretty much the same thing.

Also, Obama has a Twitter. No, not like one of those fake-celeb pages on Myspace & Facebook, but the real deal. I wouldn’t want XE to have one, but what I WOULD like to see are guys like Waiterbot or Mistah Snowman twittering. I think it would be interesting what “mundane” things that they’d microblog about.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 04/07/2009 5:10 PM

They’re called tweets.

This is probably the first-ever utterance of this on XE, but Stephen Colbert has been on the record for calling them “Twats.” :)

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 04/07/2009 5:12 PM

Yeah, celebrities don’t count. They pretty much live in a different world than us.

Chestnuts roasted by Brew Master @ 04/07/2009 5:19 PM

squee4242: I find Sockingtons words of wisdom amusing.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 04/07/2009 5:29 PM

Norb, I also have a Facebook because it’s sort of like the happy medium between MySpace and Twitter and it is sort of fun to update my status thingy once or twice a day. But I don’t want to Twitter at people when I could just IM or call them. There are enough things that keep me on the computer more than I should be. Like goddamn Youtube. It’s like crack.

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 04/07/2009 6:01 PM

If Peeps could Twitter, what would they call it?

Chestnuts roasted by King JLA @ 04/07/2009 6:43 PM

Hey Matt, good to see your doing alright…work sucks. You could post once a year for all I care, as long as you’re still posting. Keep it up!

Chestnuts roasted by Spectre @ 04/07/2009 6:53 PM

I second (third?) the idea that if you go in for all the social networking, go facebook. You can create a group, we join, we see wassup. However, there’s something great about just having to old school go to your website, see the Christmas decorations up in July, and find out if you’ve posted something new.

I dunno, maybe you’d gain more followers, maybe you’d lose some website hits due to people waiting for notification of a new post through facebook. Maybe you just don’t have time for all this extra crap.

In any case, I’m just happy you are alive and well, and in this economy, being busy is better than the alternative.

We’ll wait. We understand.

Just don’t forget Easter candy. Oh, God, don’t forget to look for some new Easter candy to write about. Seriously, you’re our fix for all things sweet, bunny/egg shaped, and nestled in fake plastic “grass” come Sunday morning.

You’re = You Are

Your = possessive (e.g., your website)

Update: Despite the French ranting and raving, my Xmas lights are still up. MuHahahaha. (they’re NOT LIT – what’s the problem??)

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 04/07/2009 7:41 PM

Well look who’s still alive. I thought it was kind of cool that the TFtDS thread was going so long though. I wanted to see how far we could go with it, but it’s nice to know you’re well.

Also nice to know I’m not the only one that’s really digging the Clone Wars series. I think it gets better as it goes.

I believe drew do mentioned the Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. Yeah, I hate that the season is wrapping up, but I think they got renewed for another one, so at least it will be back. I think it’s great.

The ice cream truck in my hometown plays the theme from the Godfather movies. No lie. Makes me wonder what (or who) is in those freezers crammed next to the ice cream sandwiches and Push-Ups.

I’m all for injecting Halloween in any form into the rest of the year, so if the Halloween jukebox showed up that would be fine by me.

I have never seen a twitter or tweet, nor have I ever twittered or tweeted anything, and I have no plans to.

ULTRAMAN: I LOVE Blood Diner!!!
