Dear Doug, Dear Luke,
It was nice to have you crash visit at our place the other night afternoon. Staying up late Eating pizza and watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, The Legend of Neil, and Father Ted Olympic Curling while you opened all the transformers we picked up for you.
But I want you to know, Bacon Rampage saw the note you left in the bathroom.
I got married last weekend. We didn’t pick the date because of Valentines day, though we’ll probably get that comment for the rest of our lives, but picked the day because of two things.
First, my wife’s brother is in the military and we had to work a bit around his schedule, and second, it was already our anniversary. So we had to learn a new month, but the day was still the same. :D
Hasbro has released a G1 deco of Powerglide for the Universe \ Classics 2.0 line.
And some people still think they don’t listen!
Okay, so maybe it’s listening to our money, and maybe it’s not always financially best to do what the collector’s want, but they do listen.
You know, so far as blogs go, this one’s pretty impersonal. It’s mostly guides or funny observations, and only rarely do I scale the soap box (it’s pretty tall, but not quite a high horse) to opine and inflame with a raucous or a rally.
But today, I wanted to talk about today.
So, I picked up an Elite Guard Bumblebee as a present for my future Mrs.
After a quick custom mod, I gotta say… He’s pretty impressive. Thankfully he does not have a yellow head, as all the promo, stock, and package pictures show. The yellow that is there actually enhances the black (and the black enhances the yellow in return), with the deep blue of the stingers and his eyes as delicious icing on this creamy cake of animated goodness.
Maybe it’s the tiny eyes of the movie figs, but boy do I enjoy this Bee’s light piping!
All in all, I must now declare him…
Lots of spam comments lately. Most of them are repetitive comments saying some slight variation of ‘hey good post, very thoughtful. OH BY THE WAY I FOUND A PLACE TO WATCH TRANSFORMERS 2 ONLINE CLIK HERE KAY THANKS!”
Seriously. What idiot thinks this is good marketing for anything?
With this being mainly (so far) a transformers blog I am apparently attracting all the dumb ass ones about watching the movie online at what’s probably a scam site.
It makes me kind of miss the more interesting spam, where at least there was some variety.
That gets me thinking… If the Junkions in G1 learned to speak from old earth tv signals, what if a modern show had them intercepting internet spam?
Last weekend was the grand start of another new line, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Call em Bionicle, Bayformers, Ugly, or just plane Awesome, they’re here for the next couple of years. With the demise of Animated confirmed at Botcon, and Universe\Classics 3.0 a long way off, how many of you will drown your sorrows in the sultry seductions of Bay’s bug-eyed bots?
I know I will.
I think the title of this post is an oxymoron. Despite Luke’s claims to having seen Nipple Torture Megatron and OptimuS&M Prime, I don’t know if the clearance isle exists at k-mart.
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!
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
