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.

2 points for using the word anthropomorphic. :)

This post makes me want an ice cream catchers mitt with a baseball gumball. Or a frog with M&M eyes.

squee4242- Big Easter plans? I’m going to eat a 5 pack of Peeps. WHOO!

kingklash- Both of those are better than MyFace or SpaceBook…

Tommy Day- It’s the absurd amount of peanut butter. It is a flavorful piece of joy.

Braindump- Have you considered wandering the streets in a drunken daze, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a boombox playing Blue Oyster Cult’s greatest songs (ALL of them)?

Plantmonster – That does sound mildly amusing, and these are in-laws that I don’t see very often anyway…

I’ll probably just settle for trying to get something on my shortwave, since I’ll be on the coast (nobody told me when I bought the damn thing that NM is a lousy place to try and pick up anything).

Usually, on going to a new city I check out the latest “best of” edition of their local alternative paper online, looking for cool bookstores, independent toy stores, retro arcades, or stuff like that. Haven’t found much in Daytona. I initially got excited by a place called Banned Books, thinking it might have some interesting/weird radical literature, but it turned out just to be a porn shop.

I have been told that Daytona has a boardwalk though, so I am currently basing all hope on the possibility of finding something interesting there.

Aren’t you psyched for the 25th anniversary of ghostbusters? I thought you loved that movie, and I havent heard a peep about it yet. There’s a game coming out, blu-ray release, and actual action figures of the team!

Sweet a new post on my birthday. Thank you Mat

Jkercard: New GB toys you say? I’ll have to track these down.

Hey, I represent that remark!

… except that with me it’s usually Jimmy Buffett’s greatest hits… but still!

Mjgrass: Some of that really took me back, especially the Whatchamacallit one. I totally remember that, especially the jingle.

Jokercard: I’m incredibly jazzed about all the new GB stuff coming out, especially the game. Can’t wait for that. I just hope we can keep Seth Rogan (I spit in his general direction), and all his crowd away from the 3rd movie. I think Matt should do an article about the new toys, especially Stay Puft.

Louie I said that because it was the last discussion I shared with everyone before I disappeared. It was my little “time-ghost imprint”.

To Daniel85
I haven’t read of ‘The Secret History Of Star Wars’ but really, Star Wars wasn’t made on the fly. It obviously has several connections to the hero’s journey, the Greek father vs. son tales and classic film serials. A lot of thought and years of scripting was put in to the first film alone. I believe that Lucas had created enough material for two films, told the first half and then in an effort to create a trilogy and make more money (which I don’t blame him for) he split the second half into two films (ESB and ROTJ).
While the prequels may or may not have been intended as a second trilogy waaaay back in ’77, he did have the groundwork set and a backstory in mind. I think that had the prequels never existed, George would today say he intended the episode 4 title to be us coming into the middle of a story as if we had never seen the first half and never would. But since he made the prequels, he has decided to go with the “I had it planned all along” idea. Nothing is concrete in storytelling.

Can’t see the Invisible Man!
Can’t see his invisible tan!
Can’t see his invisible hand!
OWW! Who goosed me!?!

Chestnuts roasted by Barry @ 04/09/2009 11:27 AM

Morfnblorsh Where did you go? Was there a tear in the time-space continuum that swallowed you up? Or perhaps you got on an elevator in a building that has only 3 floors, but has a button for the 4th floor and you pressed the 4th floor button and it transported you to an alternate dimension (there is an elevator like that in my office building and I’m pretty sure that if you press the 4th floor button, it will maybe transport you to one of the levels of Hell. As such, I’ve never dared press it).

You know what else was made on the fly?

Dear Barry with a website: I didn’t realize you thought I was impersonating you. I know you don’t post that often, but I figured people could tell us apart since you have your name linked to a website. I just figured out a few months ago that its easier to post under your real name. Again, sorry if I offended you.

Chestnuts roasted by Barry @ 04/09/2009 12:47 PM

Stfu Barry troll I am on to you..

Chestnuts roasted by Barry @ 04/09/2009 1:22 PM

Damnit I want in on the Barry Wars too!

Chestnuts roasted by Blue Barry @ 04/09/2009 1:37 PM

Matt is back and I’m 4 days late on replying! YAY ME!!!

Anyway, what’s on my mind? At the moment I’m mourning the traditional sitcom. Let’s just say that the current state of comedy television pisses me off. I don’t get the hype at all.
I’m sorry but nothing will ever be as good as Night Court or Frasier. I’m just sick of being called tasteless because I like a traditional laugh track comedy.

I got nothing to add… Just reading through the new post and all the comments when suddenly my cold, dead heart grew three sizes… Smiles for x-e…

I enjoyed the Clone Wars film and I do like the series on CN as well.

All I wanted was peaceful coexistence with website Barry, and this is what I get. I think I’ll change my name to Thomas or Larry to keep the peace!

Chestnuts roasted by Barry @ 04/09/2009 3:20 PM

I wish they would show Night Court on TV land. I like that show.

kingklash- What about disgusting makeup with Jeff Goldbloom?

Pamerholic- “Come and knock on our door…”

Chestnuts roasted by Plantmonster @ 04/09/2009 7:11 PM

I think the traditional sitcom is dead… I was finished with them once crappy shows like Friends became hits. Seinfeld was the last great sitcom, bar none.

Fortunately for me shows like The Office and My Name is Earl are around! I love those shows and hope they keep on keepin’ on for a long while yet! Their type of humor is the future of TV.

Chestnuts roasted by drew do @ 04/09/2009 7:19 PM

I hate the office! I hate how awesome british tv shows have to be remade just for Americans. We don’t do that to your shows!
