Awesome Toys Forever
July 27th, 2010
Yes, this was for sale...
Hell, I’ll just quote the Daily What:
Collectible of the Day: Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet toy from Mattel (aka AN EMPTY BOX), which began life as an April Fools’ joke, was in hot demand at Comic-Con, where it apparently sold out (!) despite being AN EMPTY BOX.
But cry into your Anime Body Pillow not: The $5 EMPTY BOX is currently being hawked by scrupulous SDCC patrons via eBay for several times its original MSRP (which should be $0, because it’s an EMPTY BOX).
UPDATE: To those saying that the box actually contains a clear plastic jet, what you’re seeing is just packaging. THERE IS NOTHING INSIDE. Although, considering $5 a good deal for a clear plastic jet is still something worth evaluating your priorities over.
UPDATE 2: Ah, who am I kidding? One empty box, please.
This Is No Joke
July 26th, 2010I almost titled this Helen Keller 2.0, but this video is simply amazing and needs to be seen by everyone and is really not a joke.
Via reddit. And unlike some redditors, I hope it is not a hoax.
The End Of The World Is Not Nigh
July 26th, 2010I was just doing some research on Yellowstone National Park and the supervolcanic activity there:
Volcanic eruptions can’t be predicted, and scientists wonder when Yellowstone will blow again. According to LiveScience, the caldera last blew up about 600,000 years ago.
Projections suggest that such an eruption would be catastrophic to most of the United States, with half the country being “covered in ash up to 3 feet deep,” LiveScience says, adding, “But those same researchers say nothing suggests such an eruption is imminent. They point out, however, that Yellowstone seems to blow its top about every 600,000 years.”
Wait! We shouldn’t worry because Yellowstone blows only every 600,000 years, but the last time it blew was 600,000 years ago? Why should I not be crapping my pants right now?!
(So says the guy sitting on the San Andreas.)
Rejoice?
July 17th, 2010So, if you care at all, you might have noticed that I haven’t updated my blog in forever. Apologies. I know you want all the awesomeness that I can deliver. And I am working on that.
If you were one of the legion of dedicated fans of the old BlogTV show, Peculiar Company, then get your panties in a bunch! I am going to start putting out a new podcast!
This will just be audio and it will not be live (for now), so there won’t be any interactive chat room. But I guarantee that there is a 5% chance that you will get your rocks off.
More information will be forthcoming as I finish everything up. For now, I will just tell you that the show will not be about Twinkies.
And, no, I won’t be offering prizes that I won’t deliver on so that I don’t have to fail you again.
RaSh Policy
June 14th, 2010Sometimes the RaSh can be a little bureaucratic with their policies. So I made an “Idiot’s Guide” version of the RaSh’s carrot and stick method for my coworker.
Two notes, I did do a quick (bad) Photoshop touch-up so it would be legible on the interwebs. Also, click through for the bigger version which allows you to actually read everything.
And he did make his sales goals today!
This Drummer Is A Rock GOD!!
June 8th, 2010There are not many drummers who can work both Robot and Sexxy Time Dance into just one ZZ Top cover song. This artist wields the sticks in a way that would make samurai masters weep. Before I die, I must see him play a twelve minute solo during a cover of ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.’
I’m just not sure if LSD would taint or enhance the experience.
This is obviously an alien sent to Earth to show humans how to ROCK!!
P.S. Yes, my sabbatical from the internet was very, very short lived.
Ummmm… (Tools Edition)

I just don't even know what to say...
Seriously, doesn’t someone check things before they’re printed for 5,000+ stores?
