06/17/2006 Entry: "Like a good neighbor, SNT is there."

Am I too late?

http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0774/

Elm Street 2 was on a HBO channel today. Reminded me of Matt's review.

Nah. Though I'm partially spam blocked at the mome...

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/17/2006 11:31 PM EST

Man, that blog fix I implemented sucks. Everyone is having problems with it. Hopefully the guy who can actually fix it the right way will be online tonight.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/17/2006 11:35 PM EST

Yay, SNT!

and weird... I just heard the "like a good neighbor state farm is there" commercial.

Dude, white spiders suck. I apparently had a nest of them in the odd corner of my room that I disturbed while packing. Bastards.

Speaking of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2, I saw it at TARGET for only 5.50. I will probably get it soon.
I am off on my big excursion to Antietam, Gettysburg, and Massena, NY (??) early Monday.

went to atlantic city last night and did pretty good but i didnt stop and then lost it all. damn jeporady slot machines. at least the room was free

Chestnuts roasted by pdac @ 06/17/2006 11:42 PM EST

I've been reading this blog for awhile, but I still can't figure it out. What's the point of these SNTs? Is it just an opportunity for us to talk about random stuff?

Chestnuts roasted by Jono @ 06/17/2006 11:52 PM EST

I guess the SNTs are us saying, "Well, we're here on a Saturday night and we're not really part of any grander Internet subculture with which to waste our time, so we may as well make the best of it." I kind of look at it like this: It's like when you're online really, painfully late one night with no reason or drive to go to bed, and it's always a little better when that happens if a friend or two is on your buddylist. You might not be talking to them every second or even at all, but it's nice to know somebody's out there.

That, and we just like bullshitting.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/17/2006 11:56 PM EST

Hey pdac...did you play any of the Price is Right slots?

It's creepy...Rod Roddy's voice is still on a few of them

I also hate the vouchers...that clank-clank of the coins falling into the chute is sorely missed. And it's weird how there are still coin buckets available.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike F @ 06/17/2006 11:56 PM EST

yeeeeeah!!
my first SNT Post!!!
hows everyone doin??
and matt, any rad suprises for us loyal fans tomorrow, something involving a land, with mice and a weird dog who can talk??(speakin of which, why cant pluto talk?>!?!)

I'm writing it now. I'm on the Star Tours part.

And, the TV themed slots in Atlantic City kill me every time. Many of them can swallow like 50 quarters a turn.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/18/2006 12:04 AM EST

Hrm. I want to jump in here somewhere and say something, but I have nothing to say about slots or Nightmare on Elm Street.

But I don't want to just abitrarily post something.

OH SHI--

Who all here had the Freddy glove?

Chestnuts roasted by Ragnarok @ 06/18/2006 12:28 AM EST

Not only did I have the Freddy glove, I STILL have it.

When I first received it (back when I was 14 or so), I thought I got a bum item; damn thing was all torn to shreds!

Oh yeah...it's SUPPOSED to be like that. My bad.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike F @ 06/18/2006 12:39 AM EST

Ahhh, STAR TOURS. Only been on it once but I remember thinking that there should have been more Death Star, less inside a comet or whatever it was. Hey Matt, at least Teek from Battle for Endor makes it into the pre-ride safety video. I guess they wanted to get one last use out of the costume Did you catch that when you while you were watching?

WHy am I still awake? Teachers during the summer time...

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 06/18/2006 12:42 AM EST

Hah, Manimal, I got a pic of Teek and he was the best part of the whole ride for me.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/18/2006 12:43 AM EST

Teek is the best part of anything anywhere ever.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny. @ 06/18/2006 12:46 AM EST

On the Freddy glove:
Click my name for a rather creepy conversation.

Chestnuts roasted by Ragnarok @ 06/18/2006 12:47 AM EST

Star Tours is the best; my favorite bit is the smoker. I'm assuming that pic of Teek wasn't taken with FLASH photography
Preliminary searchery (read: extremely preliminary) tells me that the first Saturday Night Thread that was just for Saturday's sake was from 06/04/2005, and just consisted of "It's 11:30. It's Saturday night. Why're ya here?" I actually remember that night distinctly because it was the night after I got my puppy and I was doing a lot of chasing, and running around with paper towels.
"[It's] always a little better when that happens if a friend or two is on your buddylist. You might not be talking to them every second or even at all, but it's nice to know somebody's out there."
Love this.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/18/2006 12:49 AM EST

Good researching, Squee. That one is also significantly historically because it was the death nell of the Christmas layout. Some celebrate the 4th of July, others Bastille Day; Looks like 6/4/2005 is on its way to the history books.
Or not.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 06/18/2006 12:57 AM EST

Yay, SNT! Well, I guess it's actually Sunday Morning when I'm posting this. Oh well...

Got a DS Lite last Sunday...It's awesome. If you've been considering a DS but haven't gotten one yet, buy one NOW!!

:/

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/18/2006 03:38 AM EST

I've never had a Freddy glove. In fact, I hadn't even seen a Freddy movie until pretty recently. My mom wouldn't let me watch them when I was younger, and then as I got older things never really fell into place for a Nightmare On Elm Street viewing.

Now that I've seen them all however, the idea of owning a Freddy glove does sound very tempting. Not a crappy plastic one though. I want a real one that I could kill people with. Not that I'd actually kill anyone or anything, but sometimes it's good to know that that option's on the table.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 06/18/2006 03:40 AM EST

hey, got some bad news for snyone who is a fan of the friday the 13th movies and hasnt already heard, apparantly they are doing a texas chainsaw massacre style remake, and the site i read it on(sorry, cant remember the site and im too damn lazy to look, whaddaya gonna do) said that they plan n changin the story line to include all of the first 4 in one flick and they will change the story line to update it for 2006, i think i will go cry now....

Have you guys seen this clip of Connie Chung singing on Maury & Connie? It's unbelievable.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/18/2006 04:11 AM EST

Squee, I hadn't seen it, and it was awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 06/18/2006 04:27 AM EST

Aww, and I ended up going to bed at about 9:30 last night because there was too much lightning to have any electronic stuff plugged in. For a while there, it was like a continuous strobe light, with uncomfortably close extra-bright strokes just to screw with the light sensors on nearby street lights. Entertaining stuff.

I was thinking about going to church this morning, but I believe I'll worship at the altar of Critters instead. Sweet deal!

Chestnuts roasted by Spoodles @ 06/18/2006 09:16 AM EST

To post what I couldn't in the last post:

Kind of. (in replying to if I remember the Hairdini infomercial)

But I'll have to put my 2 pennies in for the immortal Showtime Rotisserie, for the same damn commercial that was filmed 6 years ago, and then the new one that was filmed 2 years ago that added the portions with the "Solid Flavor Injector"

It always seems on any weekend when I wake up and my tv isn't set on a specific channel, that infomercial is always on when I turn the tv on, and it makes me hungry as hell.

And my favorite aspects of the Magic Bullet besides the dirty chainsmoking Diner Waitress is that one of the "hosts" is British and his "lady partner" is probably the whitest american woman ever, and they both act like they do stuff like this regularly and all of their guests/tenants are always enamored, probably because "participating" in these ads is the only way they get their food, it would sure explain their unbridled enthusiasm.

And I'm about to pass out due to malnutrition of Disney articles.

squee4242 - Dude ... thanks for that. I didn't know Con & Po had been cancelled. I think I'm like one of three people who actually liked that show. I'll do you one better though. Click here.

Chestnuts roasted by LemurCat @ 06/18/2006 09:57 AM EST

To Ragnarok: I once made the Freddy glove. The blades were dull enough to not be functional, but fact is, I made it. And I'm not sorry.

Chestnuts roasted by Timmy @ 06/18/2006 10:28 AM EST

I woke up to go pee and now my cat stole my bed and I can't go back to sleep. And to make matters worse I missed SNT.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 06/18/2006 10:32 AM EST

And I just HAD to go play The Sims 2 last night.

I hope that guy's online tonight too, that can fix the posting issue. I just went to preview my post last night and it told me I was banned! :o

Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 06/18/2006 11:31 AM EST

I once was Freddy for Halloween. However, instead of buying the glove we made one using an old workout glove and cut cardboard into knives and taped them on.

Watched Comic Book, the Movie on DVD last night. It was funny.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 06/18/2006 11:39 AM EST

Has anyone seen the pics from Transformers? Probably old news, but the fanboys are pissed that Bumblebee will be a new Camero.

Chestnuts roasted by Joe in OH @ 06/18/2006 12:39 PM EST

I love Comic Book: The Movie.
I had it for a while and watched it frequently, but when I bought a new DVD player, it wouldn't play for some reason.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny. @ 06/18/2006 01:00 PM EST

It's been a while since I've posted something on one of these threads and I've noticed that I'm still 'roasting chestnuts' just as I did a while ago! hehe.

Chestnuts roasted by Marzipan @ 06/18/2006 01:21 PM EST

You know all this time I've been wondering........ Is that a fountain pen or a flame reaching to the right to roast chestnuts?

Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/18/2006 02:51 PM EST

I think it's a prawn or shrimp of some sort, PRSense. I'm sure there's a significance I'm forgetting now.

Chestnuts roasted by Spoodles @ 06/18/2006 03:25 PM EST

I always thought it was some sort of sea creature? I shrimp or something? I wish it were flames tho!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 06/18/2006 03:26 PM EST

It's definitely a shrimp. I think it symbolizes summer-time. So in essence, it should say 'shrimps roasted by...' hehe

Lobster.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/18/2006 06:40 PM EST

Oops! I was meaning to quantify that with a "but it's hard to say for sure with the weensey size".

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/18/2006 06:50 PM EST

Ehh, I'm late, but I turned in early last night. I ran a lot of errands and was barely able to think straight (or straighter than usual) by the time I got home.

I was on "Star Tours" a couple of months after it opened. I don't remember too much about the actual ride, other than my sister looked a little green after it, but I do remember standing in line and listening to the droids banter. I was a little nervous about the ride, since I was just coming out of my gigantic, all-consuming "Star Wars" obsession phase at the time (1990), which may explain my haziness on the ride's actual content.

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 06/18/2006 08:57 PM EST

Ahh, the old tiny lobster that looks like a shrimp trick. That's the second time I've fallen for that this week.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 06/18/2006 09:19 PM EST

I can't wait for the freakin' Star Tours! I've been on it twice at Disney Land (not world, never been there) but I never noticed Teek. Looks like I'll have to go again.

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Poop @ 06/18/2006 09:40 PM EST

Damn! A lobster! How could I have been so certain it was a shrimp?...haha...well, I guess it's definitely NOT a shrimp.

Chestnuts roasted by Marzipan @ 06/18/2006 09:48 PM EST

It's not a disintegrating squirrel? Well my mind is blown.

So are these the lobsters that get eaten? I hope I haven't been an unwitting part of lobster homicide. Especially since I never got to taste them!

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 06/18/2006 10:12 PM EST

No no we were right, its a shrimp sized lobster, we all just forgot to type the word lobster.

Lobster sticks to magnet!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 06/18/2006 10:48 PM EST

Let me just express the great admiration I have for crustaceans. They're just so strange and unique, while at the same time often tasty!

But would I date one? No. Because people are shallow, and that's the way it is.

Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/19/2006 12:59 AM EST

A little off the subject.. but does anyone remember the name of the Heman playset that was some kind of swamp ... the best feature being some ridiculous rubber glove puppet ... that was some kind of heman eating snake trap thing?

Chestnuts roasted by MgwR @ 06/19/2006 06:36 AM EST

Lobsters cannot, despite what you have heard, scream. The high-pitched whistle produced when you boil them is caused by pockets of air inside their shell escaping.

That being said, they are big scary bugs, and your mom always told you not to eat stuff that looks like that.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 06/19/2006 07:02 AM EST

Swamp with a rubber puppet? Can only be the fright zone.

I ate my first piece of lobster EVER last weekend...my boyfriend ripped out a piece of its innards and presented it to me triumphantly...No, I did not enjoy eating a piece of flesh out of the inside of that disgusting buggish creature.

Picked up an awesome deal this weekend- Got the 10th anniversary special edition of "Mallrats" AND the 3-disc, 10th anniversary edition of "CLERKS" for only $19.95!!! I was a happy girl.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/19/2006 08:27 AM EST

Actually, another Matt said "lobster." It's a shrimp.

I just don't even care anymore. And sorry for the double post at two different times. I was having trouble posting, something about me exceeding my limit on posts.

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Poop @ 06/19/2006 11:02 AM EST

JoshC Sound like another update that no one was asking for. Sometimes, Hollywood needs to leave things alone.

Joe in OH I don't think that there are THAT many people upset over BB being a camaro. I'm a "fanboy", and I like the idea. I think it would have sucked to see BB as a Beetle. It's kind of a fruity car. (NO offense to those who have one) but it doesn't exactly scream war machine at all, which is what the TF's are. I think there's ALOT of other stuff people need to worry about in terms of this movie.

Don't know if anyone else has been following the news on the movie, but if you are, are you worried it's going to be a crapfest, and in no way resemble Transformers at all? I mean, it will be called Transformers, but only because it has transforming robots.

I just feel nowadays, Hollyood changes things, "because they can", not because it's needed. I think that's what they're doing with the TF movie.

Nevermind the fact that Murphy's a fat fucking douchebag, and Bay non-stop ass rapes celluloid when ever he makes something, I just don't have a good feeling for this one.

BTW, best lobster I've ever had was at China Grill in Miami. If you're ever down there, I recommend going there. Expensive, but more than worth it.

Lobster mash potatoes....how I love thee....

Hey everyone, wanted to tell you a story. I went to the ice cream this past week for a treat. It ended up becoming an addiction. Everyday. They had WWE Ice Cream Bars. I haven't had them in about 15 years. So imagine a grown man goign to the ice cream truck ordering TWO WWE Ice Cream Bars every day. $4 well spent!

Now to find Ecto Cooler! The drink of the gods.

Chestnuts roasted by Rixliss @ 06/19/2006 01:37 PM EST

I use to get hooked on the Mario ice cream bars. The ones with the gumballs for eyes. Mmmmmmmm.....

Hey, does anyone remember those furry blue and purple monsters dolls that had shackles on their wrists? I've been trying to remember what they were called and it's driving me crazy.

Chestnuts roasted by Deuce @ 06/19/2006 02:12 PM EST

Oh man hey deuce those where called my pet monster! They had a cartoon and everything! I had one and my cuzin had a football theme one. They were great but not too good to use as wrestling opponents. A few hits of his big ass green nose to the melon and you had some nice bruises and bumps! I remember his whole face from his fangs to his eyeballs to his gynormous nose being harder than something really hard! The shackles were great for playing cops and robbers tho.

Chestnuts roasted by PRSense @ 06/19/2006 02:34 PM EST

Duece, I also believe that's My Pet Monster. Do a site search and you may be pleasantly surprised.
So I knew they were making changes to the Pirates of the Caribbean rides, but until today's LA Times article I didn't know how big they were (they've added Sparrow, Barbossa and Jones, plus music from the movie and stuff). I'm honestly not sure how I feel about them messing with it...anyone else, thoughts?

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/19/2006 02:37 PM EST

Do you have a link to the article about the new changes to the POTC ride?

Chestnuts roasted by Jakeee @ 06/19/2006 02:41 PM EST

I loved my pet monster, always used as filler on Sunday afternoons along with the Beetlejuice cartoon.

I'm working at the company that produced it and there are cels up in the hallways, I'm always tempted to pry them off and run.

Chestnuts roasted by selvig @ 06/19/2006 02:44 PM EST

'My Pet Monster' was one of those toys I felt like I NEEDED in order to survive- I loved the show...but alas, no toy for me.

I don't know if I like them messing with the Pirates ride, either...I better read up on this!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/19/2006 02:47 PM EST

Generally, the rule I follow is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it; and POTC the ride certainly isn't broken. Part of the ride's charm is that it is just a tad hokey since it is somewhat old and I think it should be left that way. It was bad enough when the ride was changed to make it more "politically correct." Then again, maybe I am just a sentimental dweeb.

Chestnuts roasted by DeeJay @ 06/19/2006 02:58 PM EST

When i went to disneyland last year they updated the river safari ride. I still dont know what they did to it.

Chestnuts roasted by Fox @ 06/19/2006 03:30 PM EST

CRETINS! Why?! Why?! WHY must they fool with they classics this way? First it was the submarine ride, then Mr. Toad, and now this... I understand opportunism. I understand that the folks at the Mouse House know how lucky they got by having Johnny Depp star in a poorly written and produced movie and turn in into ironic self-mockery that 90% of the audience just doesn't get and laughs anyway. I understand rabid marketing and rampant consumerism. I work for a Swiss Bank, for the love of God. But this -- THIS -- is going too far. My love/hate relationship with Disney has swung to hate yet again. It was bad enough when they tried to put a "history themed" park in the middle of Virginia's Civil War country. I was disgusted with the bowdlerization of the Pocahontas/John Smith story. But when Disney cannabalizes and exploits it's OWN history for no reason other than filthy lucre, I feel what little is left of my soul die off a little more. Is nothing sacred? I can understand not holding American history sacred -- few of us in this country do. But your own legacy? DAY-UM. It's times like this, you just have to ask yourself, What Would Walt Do? And then come to the conclusion he would murder the directors of the board in their sleep.

Hit the spam block, had to switch computers. Here's the link to the article. Interestingly, it seems to imply that the PC "chasing food instead of booty" amendments have been undone. Now that I've thought about it a little, I think I'm going to see this as an upgrade rather than a travesty. Especially if they have a really kickass animatronic Barbossa.

Hey selvig (and everyone else)

Go check out in2tv.com

Beetlejuice cartoon is just ONE of the shows they broadcast episodes of.

Others include: Max Headroom, Growing pains, Perfect Strangers, Ben Stiller Show, etc etc etc

Chestnuts roasted by Mike F @ 06/19/2006 03:43 PM EST

My Pet Monster! That was it! I always wanted one of those, but the powers that be (my parents) never got me one.

I remember going to Disney World when I was about 7. Out of all the rides, POTC is the one I remember best. That might be because my dad killed a snake while we were waiting in line for it.....

Disney was the only real vacation we ever took when I was a kid, but it was well worth it. We went to Univeral Studios and Nick too. I was pissed because all the good rides at Universal had broken down.

Chestnuts roasted by Deuce @ 06/19/2006 04:18 PM EST

Man, can't wait for Part 2. I rode Star Tours like 10 times in a row with my wife when we went on our honeymoon – mostly because when I went in 86 there was a "Coming Soon- Star Tours" sign when I was there last.

I made up for lost time. BTW, I've just discovered why I love XE: it's like Summer Vacation! Cool 80's toys and food will pop up unexpectedly at any time. God bless Matt and his http time machine!

Thought I'd toss in my Pirates memories.

We went to Disney back when I was...in grade 2. Don't make me do the age math.

We were got to the cannonballs part of the ride and some pirate shouted "Fie at will!" and me, with my Grade 2 humour, shouts back "Which one's Will?".

People laughed and that made my vacation.

Chestnuts roasted by selvig @ 06/19/2006 04:31 PM EST

I just used My Pet Monsters Orange plastic handcuffs on my wife last night. T.M.I, but on-topic nontheless. I found a Glow Worm in the same box. I also found some Shrinky Dinks. They were Ghostbusters ones, so I didn't open the box.

I've never been to Disney World, dewds.
I dunno if my parents were too poor or too impatient to wait in the lines and such, but they never took me.

Probably too poor.

I don't really feel like I missed out, though.

Mike F, thanks for that site. I'm still updating my windows media player to be able to use it, but it looks like it's all kinds of awesome. Now all I need to do is find some place where I can get episodes of Get Smart...

Old E:

Should you have included Shrinky Dunks in there?

Glow Worm maybe....

Shrinky Dunks? Mmm... sounds like some sort of mini dunkable donut treat!

Which reminds me, they still make Dunkaroos! I've had so many people tell me they don't, but they're WRONG, because they keep boxes of them at the snack table at work, and around 3pm every day I plop down 50ΒΆ to take a pack back to my desk.

Selvig:

Yes, the Shrinky Dinks should have been included, just because they were in the same box. Also, they should never be EXCLUDED because of how awesome they are. I mean seriously, can you think of anything cooler than coloring, cutting out, and BAKING (Yes they made kids use REAL ovens back then) Your own decorative figurines of your favorite TV characters? I mean tying up my wife with Pet Monster handcuffs is one thing, but Shrinky Dinks absolutely cannot and SHOULD NOT be overshadowed under any circumstance.
