Nipple Torture Megatron

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Wow.  That title might actually knock off ‘Google, Econ, and The Frito Bandito’s Speedo’ as the one that pulls in the strangest search engine visits. (Yes, I can see what you were searching for when you came here, you dirty dirty basement dwellers.)

Sometime before Easter this year, my future Mrs. and I wandered down the regular candy isle of a K-Mart when we found a couple of transformer sucker holders. You know the things, like a pez dispenser only it usually has a rotating sucker on the top, driven by batteries that also make a Marvel or movie character move an arm or something. I’ve seen a lot Spider-Man and Batman ones before. Instead, though, these were a couple of rock-em sock-em style robots done up to look like Megatron and Optimus Prime. No batteries, but when the Transformers faction symbol on each was pressed their heads would pop up.

Something of a ‘That’s odd. Hey, twizzlers!’ thing, or at least it would’ve been, had we not noticed something entirely disturbing.

Something that turned this from a $4 sucker holder thinly disguised as a toy to something that I actively wanted to purchase.

Behold!

Teaparties, Taxes, and Bow-Legged T-Rexes

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Make sure you say that ‘bowe leg-ed,’ for extra goodness.

So, tax day has come and gone, but this year’s deadline brought more than just the usual annoyances and ass hattery that are so prevalent in the news around this time of year. Yeah, there was still the pompous news people and their pappy politicians (the ones in power grandstanding for taxes and the ones slightly less out of power grandstanding against taxes [you know, vice versa of last year]), but this year… this year we had tea!

Yeah, I’m talkin about the tea parties. Fear not, dear reader! This is not another political post. Really. :D

Post Easter Post

Monday, April 13th, 2009

So, Easter weekend was pretty good. Hung out with soon to be in-laws, ate lots of deviled eggs, ham, and rolls. My future Mrs. proved once again how awesome she is by getting me a Classics Erector. (I still have my original Erector, just missing his crane.) I don’t know why that Toys R Us still had him, but he was the only one. He’s got great paint apps and his saw blade isn’t bent. (Apparently so many blades were warped that it’s mentioned on the tfwiki.)

And of course no family event is complete without an inappropriate joke from me… I tend to make ones that dance the line between ‘plausibly innocent’ and ‘perverted.’ This year was no different…

Did the basement dwellers of the world hear my plea? Perhaps, because I found an awesome spam comment tonight.

Spam!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Do advertisers seriously think that anyone is going to buy products from them if they have Engrish addled asians coming up with their blurbs and shooting off their pitch and product links en masse to the unwashed internets?

Apparently not, because they’re not even trying anymore…
