Oh, god, oh god, oh god!!!
First, I click on the 80sTees ad and get the fucking Monchichi's theme song stuck in my head, and now I get He-Man staring me down with what looks like a bottle of tequila!

There's no way in hell I'm sleeping tonight.

Hey, everyone parties sometime.

Chestnuts roasted by Sargasm @ 04/23/2003 05:36 PM EST

Wow, I went to Zellers the other day (in Canada) and was I in for a treat 50% off easter candy.

My take home loot:

Cadbury Cream eggs x 2 - as per Matts Artical

Cadbury Truffle eggs x 2 - A little to mutch truffle stuff for my tastes

Dove Truffle eggs x 2 - Way better than the Cadbury one, actually tastes like a truffle

Cadbury Wonderbar eggs x 2 - Strange

Cadbury Caramilk eggs x 2 - Stickier than a cream egg but pretty darn tasty.

Cadbury Dream Eggs x 2 - Like a Cadbury cream egg but its white chocolate and has a more dairy-ish goo inside.

All of that for just under $5.00 Canadian. And because of socialized health care here I don't have to pay for the double bypass either.

So Queen Marlena brought the good stuff with her from Earth? Or was that something the cop had stashed away in that half of a car?

HE-MAN: "You don't know me, man!"

No shit -

when I was 11, I saw my first childs play movie. It was the second one. I watched it with my mom, and even at 11, I knew how rediculously not scary it was. It had it's jump scenes, but it was still my buddy. During a commercial break (it was on USA) my mom was able to sneak upstairs for a "cup of coffee" which losely translates to "scare the living fuck out of my kid for eternity." What she did was take my "My Buddy" from my closet, and taped a real knife into his hand, she then covered him under the blankets in my bed, and returned downstairs to finish the movie. The movie was over, I went upstairs, played a few rounds of Nintendo, and decided to turn in for the night.

I turned off all the lights, pulled back my covers, and saw that knife gleaming. I totally freaked out.

I killed my mom that night, and burried her in the backyard. It isn't so funny now is it mom?!? IS IT?!?!? ISSSSSSSSSSSSS IT!

Considering that there was just an article about them, I thought people might like to see some weird coloured knock offs of Transformers cassettes. If nothing else, they're a lot cheaper.

Marlena smuggling in the good stuff. . .next thing you know, they're gonna pull Frostbite over with an open two-four in the trunk of the Snow Cat. Of course, when you have six missiles attached to your arctic assault half-track vehicle, you can probably intimidate a traffic cop out of a DUI ticket.

(Now I understand why my parents were angsty about me playing with "boy's toys": they thought I'd spend my adult years making esoteric references to toys that were discontinued almost twenty years ago on other people's blogs. Well, screw it -- they should'a' marketed better girl toys).

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Peanut @ 04/24/2003 02:01 PM EST

I think the big question is...who is that behind the mask. The eyes dont have that half asleep "please god just kill me now" look we usually see in Matt's eyes.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 04/24/2003 02:07 PM EST

i'm afaraid. very afraid.

he-man never looked so menacing.

Chestnuts roasted by evin @ 04/24/2003 02:56 PM EST

also: i have a feeling it is a child behind the mask, because the costume is obviously meant for kids, and whoever is behind it seems too small for it.

perhaps matt is actually a midget, and thus far has employed special camera techniques so as not to seem such? hmm?

Well aren't you just the bee's knees? I didn't know shopping for useless junk was a competition, or I would have put on my special jumpsuit. What so hard about finding a "VERY RECENT" video? Why even go to the thrift store? Couldn't you just go to the Golden Arches? @_@

Chestnuts roasted by pupitre @ 04/24/2003 08:04 PM EST

Does anyone else remember the Consumers store chain? It was basically a waiting room with counters that had catalogs on them. You would search through and get the code for the item you wanted and go to the cashier window. They would have someone in the huge rear of the store then send up you item.

This is the only link I could find for a Consumers Catalog:

i once had the skeletor armour and mask set.
it came with a tiny stadff though :(

Chestnuts roasted by tin man @ 04/25/2003 03:02 PM EST

I used to love Consumers Distributing. It was like ordering through a catalog only you got your stuff immediately. No pushy sales clerks. Without having to worry about displays they could pack alot of product into thier back warehouse. If they advertised an item as being for sale they always had it. I never left consumers empty handed as a kid. You want a new Cobra Khan, BAM, there it is. Snake Eyes version 3, CRACK, here ya go, Ewok Village playset. WHOOSH, all yours kid.
Not like today when you have to go to the manufacturers website just to find out whats available, then hit numerous Zellers, K-Marts, Wal-Marts and Sears(es) hoping to find the product you want. I wonder where the business model fell apart on Consumers Dist. No huge overhead in that business model. It was an entire Department store that could be run by five people, three cashiers and two warehouse guys and it was impossible to shoplift in.
CONSUMERS DISTRIBUTING RULES!!! WHOO!!! YAH!!!

Chestnuts roasted by the Goblin @ 04/25/2003 03:05 PM EST

I'm a poor poor sheltered person. this consumers distributing sounds like the holy grail I have almost always searched for! The only problem is that you have to look through almost everything to find what you want, or just the lack of impulse buying. That's the only reason the big retailers beat everything else...impulse. DAMN DIRTY HUMANS AND THIER BAD HABBITS!

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 04/25/2003 03:09 PM EST

Consumers ruled! We had one near us growing up.

I agree with Goblin; how'd it fail?

Chestnuts roasted by Bloodcat @ 04/25/2003 05:28 PM EST

the "consumers" store sounds like englands "argos".

but in argos, you look in the catalogue, fill out the form, and when you get to the till you wait 15 minutes before the wanker behind the counter tells you theyve run out of what ever you were buying.

With all the chestplates in Eternia, nametags became essential.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 04/25/2003 08:45 PM EST

I also remember Consumers. My mom went there quite often and I used to browse the cataloges even if I wasn't able to get anything. I think a good portion of my Star Wars collection from that time came from there. I miss it.

Chestnuts roasted by ShadowWing the Technorganic Autobot @ 04/25/2003 09:23 PM EST

I guess for Teela the chestplate thing would be a quid pro quo- Tit for Tat, if you know what I mean. I guess with all those big-chested individuals it could be confusing... By the way she had such a lovely embroidery... golden rings of desire... "My, what lovely Teelas you have there my dear..."

OT: I'm seeing ads all around this site for the movie The Real Cancun, and I'm wondering if anybody has seen it already? I'm looking for accounts of rowdy college students getting arrested for partying wildly on the beach. If there's a police presence anywhere in the film, then I shall forgoe this moviegoing experience.

Besides, why else should I get depressed over physically attractive people when I'm not enjoying myself with them?

I read that "The Real Cancun" is a real POS. And It pretty much looks like it. For those of us WITH attractive boyfriends, going to see a movie where a bunch of stupid teenagers blow eachother isn't much entertaining. It's like bad porno with a worse plot than usual.

Man, everything has gone all three dimensional. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that worm at the bottom of the bottle. I knew I shouldn't have gone drinking with skeletor. Ah man, my teeth are fused together. What's this here? It looks like She-Ra's leotard. Oh dear lord no! Quickly check if I still have my furry undies on. Uh-oh, how do I explain THIS to Randor. Man I wish one of those dimensional portals that seem to be all over the place will just suck me up.

As an excersize in advertising through nation building, Jose Cuervo bought an island nation, and changed the name to Cuervo Nation. The indiginous people are now gainfully (if cheaply) employed running all tourist related enterprises. Food and drunkards are shipped in on a regular basis to supply the economy.

So it wasn't the sword all along. Skeletor should have been going after the tequila, the real source of Prince Adam's powers, the whole time. That's a bottle of "Power of Grayskull" tequila, all the power with half the hangover.

CONSUMERS DISTRIBUTING is SHIT. Where I live they would NEVER had what I wanted in stock, and I always had to QUEUE UP for 15 minutes just to be told that. They SUCK Man Willies man. Fuck them!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Chosen One @ 04/30/2003 04:03 PM EST

I know this is probably too late for anyone to read this, but, on the comments page for the Toys R' Us catalogue article, I mentioned the Consumers Distributing catalogue as being a bigger and better book of Christmas dreams, since it literally had every toy in the store spread out over 50 pages. So, anyhow, it inspired me to do a Google search for "Consumers Distributing", and I can say I was surprised to see that it already had been mentioned many times in the comments page for a different article. I guess a lot of us Canadians around my age (born 1974) have fond Christmas anticipation memories centred around the Consumers Distributing catalogue.

Didn't care much for the store itself, since it was an utterly inefficient way to go around buying things, having to write a form and then wait in line before you could even see the product for yourself (yes, I visited Britain once a year for several years for a while and I can confirm that it was exactly like Argos), and I was so happy when my local (Pincourt, Quebec) shopping centre finally got a Zellers in 1993, but, even as an adult, I still miss getting the catalogue in the mail every fall since the chain folded in 1996.
