Welcome to X-Entertainment's August Megaparty, which, truth be told, means absolutely nothing. Only set rule: New blog posts every day in August. Why? I'm not totally sure. I'd been kicking around the idea of updating the blog daily-by-mandate for a while, but if that was ever advertised, I'd hate doing it. Aside from time constraints, nothing is fun when you just "have to do it." So, while I'd like to see this place updated more often, I don't want to lose my right to hate y'all for a week spread and not say anything. On the other hand, a month-long challenge felt right, and let's face it, there ain't jack going on in August anyway. We're all old people. Old people hated by the world at large.
What will we be looking at during the August Megaparty? I have no idea, because I haven't planned for it. I got bored one night and made a graphic advertising it, and that's how we ended up here. I've got a lot of little things laying around that need their site-immortalization so I can throw 'em in storage boxes and get 'em out of my face forever, but other than that, I have no clue. Hopefully, we'll have fun. Let's increase the chances by talking about "Fish Ooze."
Fish Ooze is brilliant, because no matter what's inside the package, people are going to buy it. There are very few people on this planet who could resist buying Fish Ooze, sheerly on the merit of it being called "Fish Ooze." When I got a closer look and noticed that the package delivered as promised, I invented a new cheer that involves doing a bunch of somersaults and rhyming words with "ooze."
What you get: A hard plastic, jewel-like container filled with stretchy blue goo and two plastic tropical fish. The fish live in the goo, having assimilated to their polluted circumstances through generations of evolution. On the other hand, while the fish may be okay living in ooze, I'm not so sure they'll fare as well in ooze once you start using the included straw to blow it up into balloozens. Yes, the ooze is inflatable, and since you're putting a wide straw into a pile of gooey crap, Fish Ooze also presents one of the world's best examples of a choking hazard. Blow out, you're cool. Suck in, and you're the second circle graphic on one of those awesome choking posters pizza restaurants have to put up.
Not to worry. A disclaimer on the back of the package reads, "DO NOT EAT." Easy for them to say. They don't have a god damned straw in the shit. If you don't want me to eat the Fish Ooze, lead me not into temptation you stupid asshole. The company that makes this is called "Ja-Ru," which sounds more like something a copycat rapper would name himself to skirt copyright law.
I like Fish Ooze. Because it's called Fish Ooze!

Leftover from the Freddy topic. It's the cover of the comic you briefly mentioned.....

Hmm...I'm second. Sloppy second...
Chestnuts roasted by Big Mike @ 08/01/2006 01:13 AM EST
Ohhhh, not Ja-Ru! 
I don't even know how that company gets to make half the stuff they do without it being recalled.
But, I would so buy that Fish Ooze, too. I love ooze, but throw in a fake Nemo and Dory and I'm there.
This kinda reminds me of my Ice Age "Chillin' Villians" that I have. It looks like an ice shard, but it's filled with "frooze" and has either Scrat or umm, 2 other creatures and they look frozen in the frooze.
Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 08/01/2006 01:36 AM EST
Hmmm, how many articles and blog posts have I seen on here regarding ooze? I can think of a few, but the ones that stick out in my mind are the Ninja Turtles mutagen ooze.
I think I've seen quite a bit about fish here as well.
So now we've got a product that combines what I believe are two of Matt's favorite things: fish and ooze. No wonder he likes it just because it's called fish ooze.
Personally, I am not a fan of fish OR ooze. Being from Kansas, I just wasn't exposed to much aquatic wildlife as a kid. Now I just think fish smell funny and look weird. As far as ooze goes, I just don't care for slimy stuff. I can't imagine why.
Chestnuts roasted by spaz307 @ 08/01/2006 01:37 AM EST
Neat. I've never seen inflatable ooze before.
Chestnuts roasted by Katherine @ 08/01/2006 01:44 AM EST
And so IT begins!!!
Fish Ooze, now THAT'S a name for something! I vote that Tigerfan renames that cemetary to that.
PS: This greymatter stuff has GOT to be settled. I keep getting the Spam message, even when I clean out my cookies & restart. I have to post this on IE!!!

I'm still processing the implications of Fish Ooze, but I have to say I adore the graphic. Megaparty on!
Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 08/01/2006 01:54 AM EST
Kinda reminds me of the little tubes of toxic rubber you could buy in the 80s (maybe still today, I haven't checked) and you'd squeeze a glob onto your tiny straw and blow it up. Then if you were me, you'd line the rubber bubbles up on your bookshelf and cry when they deflated the next day.
Chestnuts roasted by Welsh Rabbit @ 08/01/2006 02:09 AM EST
I find Fish Ooze oddly compelling. If I see some, I'm buying it.
Chestnuts roasted by marioshoku @ 08/01/2006 02:20 AM EST
Awww yeeeeaaah 10th!
I'm usually 421435th.
Those nasty rubber bubble things... ah... you can still buy them at dollar stores. Only tiny amounts, though. Anyone remember a time when they advertised toothpaste-tube sized amounts of EVERY COLOR on infomercials? And those building blocks that were only 2 pegs, and the kids had huge castles and crowns made out of them? Old infomercials were awesome.
Chestnuts roasted by Fierce Almond @ 08/01/2006 02:53 AM EST
So poisonous and toxic, yet so deliciously crystal blue. Fuck it, I'd take my chances.

Those people at Ja-Ru are brilliant -- what will they think of next?
Chestnuts roasted by Review the World @ 08/01/2006 03:46 AM EST
Good evening everyone, hoping that our friend Muppet Baby gets better soon! I bought some DVD sets at Target on Sunday afternoon: TMNT vol. 4 ($10), Duck Tales vol. 1 (approx. $26), and a couple others. I watched two episodes of DT early Monday morning after work and about two episodes of TMNT today! Not bad. They'll be good to have around when I have more free time. I have to be at work at 7 am tommorrow (that's "flexible schedules" for you). Hopefully, i'll have a job at rite-aid by the end of the week (wish me luck, please!). I don't think I was particularly cut out for fast food.
Chestnuts roasted by Hoverbored @ 08/01/2006 03:47 AM EST
Oh man I'd be tempted to drink that, too. If they made it like "blood n guts" with red slime and body parts in it, you wouldn't really have to worry about kids downing it, but that blue liquid and fish smiling as if to say "mmm this water is tropical punch-licious" makes it far too enticing
Chestnuts roasted by Eddie Lightning Frog @ 08/01/2006 07:46 AM EST
That Freddy comic looks like what would happen if you hit Mark Silvestri's right hand with a hammer.
I'm pretty sure ALL ooze is inflatable,but they don't advertise it,because companies like say,Hasbro,have real addresses,unlike Ja-Ru,whose office is a raft out on international waters.
Chestnuts roasted by Kid Nicky @ 08/01/2006 08:06 AM EST
Wow, of all the ooze-related posts I've seen on this site, this is the one that has made me really want to go on ebay and look for fish ooze. I've always had this thing for fish where I wanted some but always ended up getting fake fish over real fish cuz my parents were like that. They would always get me the fake animal alternative instead of the real thing. In any case, I now have a "collection" of sorts of fake fish and their various displays. I think fish ooze would be a mighty fine addition to the group.

This August megaparty is definitely needed - August is the worst month. It's all hot, no holidays....just suck.
I don't want to drink the fish ooze, but I really just want to stick my tongue in it.

So Matt, c'mon and tell us... What does it taste like??? I know if I had that shit sitting around, I'd have no choice but to eat it!
Chestnuts roasted by Dr Sketch @ 08/01/2006 10:22 AM EST
I'm just amazed you were able to review a product called "fish ooze" without making some sort of sexual innuendo.
Kudos.
Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 08/01/2006 10:32 AM EST
Matt,
Good luck with the challenge of updating your blog everyday. I have trouble sometimes putting 1 new article up a week on my site. If I didn't have a job, I'd have no problem. Unfortunately, there's this little thing called money, that I need to survive. 
Chestnuts roasted by Greg @ 08/01/2006 10:38 AM EST
They still make floam. It's incredibly overpriced. Like, 6.99 for one little tub of the stuff.
God only knows what that ooze is made of - I don't think we want Matt tasting it. Testing his limits on certain old foods and kool aid is good enough.
Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 08/01/2006 11:03 AM EST
August probably does suck for most people. It's hot, you're contemplating going back to school (or trying really hard to remember the concept of "summer break" for those of us long out of school), and not a damn exciting thing happens. Except...today is my birthday! Hooray for me! So if you'd like, feel free to celebrate my birthday all month long. I think Matt should chip in by updating the blog every day...oh, look, he is. How fortuitous for me!
Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 08/01/2006 11:19 AM EST
purplegirl247
Contemplating going back to school? Heck, when I was still in school, Marching Band started the middle of the 2nd week in August. Summer's OVER when August rolls around.
And "hot" is the understatement of the year. Try 108 last year. while we were outside. For 3 hours. Not fun.
Please tell me that I'm not the only one that thinks "X-E and the Fish Ooze" would be an excellent name for a rock band?

the greymatter thing seems to be based on IP addresses, not cookies. Both times I've had the problem, I've solved it by unplugging the cable modem for about 5 minutes. Unless you have a static IP, chances are when you plug it back in, you'll have a new IP address and will be able to post.

Purplegirl, happy birthday! Today is my Grandmas bday too, I'm sure your not turning 84 tho! Tonight I'm hosting the party for my Gram, it's real exciting cause I get major brownie points on being the favorite granchild
I actually enjoy August, I get to go to Long Beach Island NJ and I get to go to a lot of parties for friends and families, they all seem to have bdays in August.
Fish ooze seems real awesome, that's soming I totally would have been dying to have as a kid...ahh who am I kidding? I still would be overjoyed to have Fish ooze as an adult!
Woot! Megaparty!
Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/01/2006 11:41 AM EST
This is the best party I've been to in a long time! And a whole month of it?! Wow, that's Mer-Mantastic! Finally, more ways to waste time at work! Man...I gotta find me some of that Fish Ooze.
This heat thing really does suck. It's been 95°-100° every day (with a couple of exceptions) for the past month...ughh.
Happy Birthday Purp!

I was at a toy store recently and they were handing out sample packs of floam. I guess it's kinda cool, but my son shoved in all into a sock and it got into the wash and now there's floam on all our clothes. But it doesn't stain.
Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 08/01/2006 12:42 PM EST
Whoa...I had no idea that the August Megaparty was going to include bikini-clad chicks at a poolside tiki-bar! I was excited about it before, but now I'm flat-out aroused! That graphic up there makes me feel like I'm in a goddamn rap video! Where my bitches at?
Chestnuts roasted by The Yeti @ 08/01/2006 02:42 PM EST
Fish ooze is exactly the kind of thing I need to bring to work. Merely playing with it will be enought to get people to stop talking to me. And not to be crass, but ooze rhymes with cooze. Teehee.
Chestnuts roasted by DemonNurse @ 08/01/2006 02:46 PM EST

Are Mystie, DemonNurse and me the only people who thought that the term "Fish Ooze" was sexually... sexy?

Matt, have you seen any of the new Titanium Die Cast Transformers figs? You should review them sometime this month.Also where did you find the Fish Ooze?
Chestnuts roasted by Sonny @ 08/01/2006 05:17 PM EST
Does school start earlier now than it used to? I distinctly remember my birthday being practically the middle of summer when I was a kid. I remember this because did I ever get balloons and cupcakes at school for my birthday? Hell, no, because it wasn't anywhere near the school year. One year I was in summer school (I took physics over the summer; I was a nerd, so sue me) and I got all excited because we'd be in session for my birthday for once. My boyfriend at the time had the balloons, the cupcakes, the works. Yeah, well, thanks to living in Florida, we got cancelled that day (it must've been a Friday) and by the time Monday rolled around, the balloons were deflated and the cupcakes had long been eaten by his family.
Anywho, I know here in Orlando some kids started school this week and some start next week. That seems crazy early to me! It's too hot to be in school!
And thanks for all the well wishes!
P.S. Fish Ooze as a band name is right up there with Giant Ape Juice...ah, the good old days of X-E.
Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 08/01/2006 05:26 PM EST
You know, Poiple goil, I do think school is starting earlier. I've noticed school busses on the prowl earlier and earlier for the past 3 years or so.
Not that I mind anymore, I just feel bad for the little bastards who are getting screwed out of their summers. Especially since there are no good Saturday morning cartoons anymore. What are they supposed to look forward to during the school year?!! NOTHING! Well, maybe the next Spider-Man movie, but that's not untill next year, their attention spans aren't that long.
Chestnuts roasted by RedLightBulbs @ 08/01/2006 05:44 PM EST
Yeah, school here in my part of Florida starts next week (August 7th). I think they are trying to make a law next year that school can't start earlier than the week before Labor Day. We used to start around August 20-somethingth.
Chestnuts roasted by LuLu @ 08/01/2006 06:14 PM EST
Happy birthday, purplegirl. Remember, if you're not sucking the icing off the candles, you're missing the best part of the cake.
In the same vein as my esteemed colleagues, Mystie and Darth Poop, I must refrain from passing comment on the fish ooze, as I doubt my own ability to do so in a gentlemanly manner.
Hee...fish ooze.
Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 08/01/2006 06:21 PM EST
I wanna see a pic of this stuff blown up to mammoth size. Any time I hear OOZE I think of TMNT. What does everyone think about the NEW TMNT movie coming out next year?

Fierce Almond...OH WOW!! I completely forgot about those infomercials until you mentioned them right now!! does anyone remember that other infomercial, Muzzy...or something like that, it was supposed to teach kids how to speak another language, with like cartoons and such...The announcer lady would say "these children are speaking french, and they're not french, they're american..."
oh and happy birthday purplegirl!
Chestnuts roasted by Katella @ 08/01/2006 07:18 PM EST
The entire Muzzy script is well established in my brain, taking up valuable real estate I could have used to learn that "figure your 9's tables with your fingers" trick. I can count to three in French though, so it evens out.
Happy b-day p-girl!

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 08/01/2006 07:47 PM EST
Ha! To all you Floridians, Michigan recently passed a law making it illegal for school to start before Labor Day! Unless the teacher’s contracts expired this year, then they’re screwed out of it. And I remember those damn Muzzy commercials. Heck, when I took German, I watched ‘em. Lots of sex, mostly incest, all bestiality. Muzzy counts as an animal right?
ps I’m back bitches! I’ll try to make posts more regularly, as shown above… hot.

My old high school starts up again on August 14th. I graduated in 2003, from Granada Hills High School in Granada Hills, CA. Don't know if anyone out there has heard of it, but I think it made national news as one of the first high schools in the country to go charter. My class was the last one before they changed over.
Chestnuts roasted by Thomas @ 08/01/2006 09:04 PM EST
Fish Ooze? What does it smell like, that's the important question! Like, you play with it, and then for the next three hours, you're sniffing your fingers in a love/hate sniff-a-palooza!
Yeah, big up yourself!
Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 08/01/2006 09:12 PM EST
Incidentally, anyone out there have funny/weird stories about old high school friends? My senior year, I had a friend who was a junior. Every year, the senior class does a prank on-campus; my class just T.P.ed a tree(our class was so lame, we almost got our prom cancelled). My friend had the idea of sneaking onto campus with some other friends one weekend to steal the hard drives out of the computers, glue all the doors shut, and then seal the locks with epoxy. I haven't seen my friend since graduation, but I don't think he did it a) because it wasn't announced on the news, and that happens every time a school gets trashed, and b)I was never called as a witness for his inevitable trial.
Chestnuts roasted by Thomas @ 08/01/2006 09:14 PM EST
School has always started pretty early here in Texas (or at least West Texas, where I grew up). Part of the reason is that you finish school earlier. Absolutely no later than the third week in May. I believe the reason this was done originally was that kids needed to help out their parents on the farm during the summer months more. I may be totally wrong, of course.
Heck, in College, we were done with finals by the end of the first week of May. I always felt real sorry for those people still going to school in June....
And Off Topic, but I'm off to Watch V for Vendetta. It came out on DVD today. I loved in the theater, but since I'm hearing impaired I had a difficult time with V's words (I read lips...can't do that with a Mask!)

Here in Raleigh school is a year-round thing. There are several different tracks that students are on, and they usually have nine weeks of school and three weeks of vacation during a quarter. Lots of schools are moving to this format because Wake County wasn't prepared for the growth.

How long you had yours? I got mine in junior high, 7th grade, which is a fucking terrible time to be "different"! Fuck 'em, I hated them all anywho.
Subtitles are my friends! That, and the walls in my apt. building are very thin, so I can't crank up the stereo as loud as I like...except when I pump the P-Funk and bring the mothership down! Ow Ow!

I am embarrased to admit these two things but here they are:
1.I forgot about the August MegaParty.
2.The teacher in me thought of assigning topics when Matt mentioned he may have difficulty coming up with a topic everyday.
We are starting school early this year but we are trying a new schedule that I don't think will work. More breaks during the year.
Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/01/2006 11:16 PM EST
Well, I am OUT of the hospital! I basically begged the doctors to let me out today ('hell, I can eat Jello and take steroid pills at home, why do I need to stay in this bed?' etc etc) I must say the best part of my 8 day stay in the hospital was the day I snuck out of my room to check XE. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the get well cheer.
Our school starts on like Aug.23rd for teachers, and it ENDED on June 26th....is that a WHOLE summer? I don't think so.
Not enough for me anyways.
Now that I have doctor clearance, I am off to Montreal on a road trip tomorrow, to pick up a friend of mine (my old roomate from Korea) Summer is back ON, baby! And we have an all August long XE party to prove it!

Glad you are out of the Hospital.
Kidneyboy
Yep, aids on both ears. Had them since 3rd grade (I guess that'd be 14 years now). Went through a pretty rough time until junior high, when I basically learned that anyone who gives me shit about them doesn't deserve to be my friend...
And I too had the thin walls problem, but I got an infared loop system for the stereo. Works great. Can't crank it up too loud (could damage hearing even more), but at least the neighbors don't complain anymore. I lucked out the last time I moved and got an apartment on the end of the complex, so only one wall touches another unit, but I like the loop so much I haven't even wired my speakers yet, after 3 months of being here.
The worst was probably in Marching band...can't wear them because it's too hot and I sweat (BTE aids)....So I did 5 years of Marching band without ever wearing em. Luckily the PA system was pretty damn loud...
Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 08/02/2006 12:14 AM EST
yay!! for Muppet Baby! Booyah for prednisone and Jello! I remember getting to play NES in the hospital one time, about 4 years ago. No shit. This hospital still had a working NES, and like a box of 20 or so games! But, it wsa still the hospital. So, I'm very glad to hear you're out and about, M. Baby.
Cam, I remember Marching Band, at the end of the season, it was a cold, semi-snowy night, and my aids felt like two ice nuggets stuffed deep deep in my ears! I took em out for that!
Ya, who likes midgets on horses, singing Western songs?? It's gonna be Trouble in Tiny Town!

Cameron, unfortunately, the audio is still pretty bad on TVs. At least on my crappy speakers. I've got it all the way up and I can barely hear it.
But there are subtitles, and they are a godsend, now I can memorize the V speech from the beginning

I'm not sure if anyone is interested. But the theme song for the Rob Zombie "Halloween" remake/prequel coming out in Oct. 07 is up at http://www.tylerbates.com/ (just click my name) you need to click on the music player at the bottom, and select playlist 1, then it's about halfway down.

kidneyboy: I've heard rumors of Trouble in Tiny Town, but I've never heard of anyone who actually saw it.

I seem to be missing something.
How is "Fish Ooze" explicit? If I was ever with a girl and she said "You wanna taster my fish ooze papi...?" I'd promptly throw her out and disinfect my apartment....
Happy Birhday purple!
Glad your hme and feeling better Muppet.

Good luck on the megaparty. Every Time I set a goal like that for updating my site, I make it about 3 days in and then give up. Good luck brotha.

Muppet Baby, I'm glad to hear your out of the hospital, and still going on a road trip! Live it up girl
I can not even believe how early some of you guys go back to school, I have never heard of that here in Canada, it has always been the day after Labour Day for us, and thats labour with a U and dont forget it!

Hey everyone!
I realize I'm late to the MegaParty, but like Muppy Baby, I was in the hospital yesterday as well. Still recovering from surgery, basically hanging around my parent's house eating pudding and jello and swallowing lots of blood. Kind of like a vampire on summer vacation, I guess.
Anyway, great start, Matt. Here's hoping the rest of the month goes as smoothly!

Let's hope this goes through...
WB all who came back, Happy Bday to all those who have had Bdays between the time I last posted til the time I post again.
I had a power outage at around 8 last night in this heat, and fortunately, it was only local, and my fam stayed at my mom's friend's empty apartment for the night. Hardly any cable tv (nothing like watching scrambled Pee-wee's Playhouse & Colbert Report), but there was A/C, so that was a plus.
Oh, and my college starts September 6, and I get out in the middle of May, bitches.

We are not freaks, we are X-E Posters! Well, except for that dude in the corner, hitting himself in the head with a rubber pig, he's just here for contrast.

It's a good thing VH1 Classic at least did something to acknowledge the 25th birthday of MTV, because MTV itself sure was not going to do anything about it. There were some cool videos they had on, they also a couple from the Who (Sister Disco and You Better You Bet)

And a necessary contrast it is.
Welcome back, Kyle and Muppet Baby - hope your recoveries are quick and easy.

Welcome back, Muppet Baby! Glad to hear that you gave those doctors what for.
My copy of Civ IV Warlords finally came in the mail! (hooray!)
However, my work hours got bumped from 3 hours/day to 8 hours/day, so I haven't got the chance to get into it yet! (boo!)

Anyone else notice the fish in the Fish Ooze are all fish from Finding Nemo?

I told my son about this stuff and he kept asking me why anyone would sell fish shoes.
Invader Norbert: You'll be starting class on the day I go to court for a reckless driving ticket that I got on vacation. Don't speed in Virginia right now or you're screwed. Had to hire a lawyer and everything.

Matt, please hurry with the Aug. 2nd Blog post. I'm so very very hot, and need my XE fix for the day to cool me off!!
Chestnuts roasted by Crassmonkey @ 08/02/2006 02:45 PM EST
It's hot out! X-E MegaParty is where it's at!!
Chestnuts roasted by Joker @ 08/02/2006 02:46 PM EST
Seem so often when I post, a new thread begins. So here's hopin' it works this time too.
Jedoc-What kind of a job can you get to work 3 hour days? I want it.
Nonny Moose- I noticed the Nemo guy as well. Can you trademark stripes?
Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 08/02/2006 03:24 PM EST
Good stuff. Keep it coming.
Although: 5 articles since May? Are you feeling okay?
Still, the quality is definitely top-notch.
Chestnuts roasted by Dixon Deeper @ 08/02/2006 04:21 PM EST
It's hot as balls out and I want some God damn Otter Pops.
Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 08/02/2006 07:06 PM EST
Well no new post. UH oh this party may be ending early. I really don't care, but Matt, you better be getting some ass or doing something really cool that prevented you from posting another thread.
Chestnuts roasted by Olde @ 08/02/2006 07:24 PM EST
OTTER POPS!!! you are damn right Mystie, I miss those so much. are they still around? I was just explaining them to my girlfriend who had never heard of them. It just makes an Ice Pop eeven better

Cameron, kingklash, and anyone else who mentioned X-E and the Fish Ooze as being a great name of a band, THANK YOU. It is indeed the perfect name for a band, and my band in Guitar Hero enjoys it.
