Does anybody here think I have a shot at her?

Its been a while since I've purchased a Nerf product. But this is by far the best one ever. I bought 3 of them and plan on buying at least 7 more. I found out about it when I visited a friend and he had his moded and painted up. His shoots further and harder than the stock model and he also rigged as a Semi-Automatic. (Which comes in handy during intense Nerf battles.)



Second reason, and most important for best Nerf (Narf, I know.) ever is that Pinky and the Brain is comming out on DVD! Yes, July 25th season one will be for sale. I plan on preordering this DVD. (First preorder ever.)

This is one of my most fondest memories of Sesame Street

100 Things Every Man Should Know

100 Things You Should Know About Women

Maxim Magazine articles. I haven't read through the lists, I just thought it was time I posted about something.....anything...... I'm useless. Forgive me.

I'm well aware that this is pretty aged in terms of advertising, but it's still my favorite out of all the Burger King commercials.

I mean, look at 'em: first there's that creepy-ass Burger King, then they had that stupid Whopperettes or whatever it was that aired during the Super Bowl and need we be reminded of Tendercrsip Bacon Chedder Ranch? The ad worked--on me, at least--then I got sick on the thing and remember why I stopped eating at Burger King. I mean, there's a fine line between being kooky and TRYING to be kooky.

By the way, Big Buckin' Chicken? Big Huckin' Chicken? Yeah, you guys aren't fooling anyone anymore. What's next? Big Truckin' Chicken? One, two, that's three ads right there--that's your campaign.

So it's odd to me that I find Coq Roq to be such an inticing campaign. For a while, I shrugged the whole thing off, but somehow that bass riff got stuck in my head and the next thing I knew I was singing "Bob Your Head" at the most inopportune times. Lucky for me, they just happen to have mp3's available for download.

The people responsible for these ads, as well as 'shining jewels' like the Whopper Jr. "spank my bun" and the Dr. Angus spots, is none other than big time agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky. Make no mistake, these are top notch ad people. But look at their stuff--you see that they've got that eccentric flair for nearly all of their clients: Volkswagon--those "VEEDUB" commercials with Peter Stormare as the german engineer; Slim Jim--with the Fairy Snapmother and the extreme sport dudes busting their balls on everything; and nearly every single truth campaign you've seen on TV.

Did you know Slipknot tried to sue Burger King over the whole Coq Roq wearing masks thing? What's up with that? I bet you didn't even remember Coq Roq until I mentioned them--they've had their fifteen minutes... don't get me wrong, I see the resemblence, but how many other rock bands have done the mask thing before Slipknot? Ah well, not my beef...

The Complete Bushisms - Updated frequently. By Jacob Weisberg

so a reporter asks the president a question during an appearance. reporter is wearing sunglasses. Bush pokes fun at sunglasses with a sarcastic tone. reporter handles it smoothly, though sounds embarrassed. Bush later learns reporter wears sunglasses to protect his eyes because he is suffering from macular degeneration. touche that.

Nintendo Amusement Park - Physically Augmented Reality

this ridiculous display reminds me of a goofy topic i've most recently discussed with sir paul. a REAL Nintendo theme park. it should happen. and we here at e301 should be in charge of ride concepts.

i'd gladly trade a park featuring bunch of princesses and rodents with big heads for a place that would truly bring out the inner child of this generation.

i need this kind of silly diversion. *ahem* picture it.

first of all, instead of Nintendo World being a somewhat anticlimactic store, it would be the name of the park. the store can be Nintendo Land. that would keep with the Nintendo theme as well as the theme of people laughing in my face when i say i've been to DisneyLand and not DisneyWorld. piss off.

to start off the discussion:

1. Haunted Houses - yes, plural. c'mon, could you decide on just one? the *real* house would be Castlevania-themed. to attract the foolish masses, there would be a bloodier Resident Evil 4 house. and for the kids, a little Boo Mansion.
2. Arena - obviously, there would have to be a place for gaming competitions. duh, moving on.
3. Rollercoasters - there could be at least 83 good ideas here. the first one rising to the surface of several of our minds would be a life-size version of the mining cart levels of Donkey Kong Country/Land/64/Hell.

the mining carts, people!!1!!

Buzz off, adults: Mosquito copy is teens' cell secret | Chicago Tribune

you may have *heard* this news story about a ringtone that is supposedly audible only to young people up to college age. this is the same principle employed by the mosquito "alarm" designed to drive away loitering teens from Rite-m-Aid's parking lots.

that isn't entirely interesting. the point i wish to make is that i want the media to stop playing this godawful noise on the air. it is somehow even more annoying than a regular cellphone ring, and if i do start hearing it in real life, my head will explode.

what happened this morning on the B&T show - on which they are all in their 40s & 50s - was they played the sound for about 20 seconds and talked about how they couldn't hear it. i just about drove off the road before regaining control of my faculties and turning down the radio. it's debilitating.

i COULD have this sound automatically play to prove a point, but i'll let ya d/l it instead. this copy isn't as offensive as others i've heard, but it's still there, and i hope you can't hear it. apparently i'm not old enough to be spared, but i am old enough to raise my fist at those damn kids.

Now you too can get help, we at VGA want you to put down the controller and step AWAY from the Nintendo!

"it'll only take five minutes to the next save point, i swear!"

never believe a gamer when they utter that phrase... ever.

So. My name's on the waiting list.. who's joining me?

i have officially gathered enough information throughout my career to advise people never to buy an Epson inkjet printer. worked with 4, all sucked.

i have a very strong case against Canon as well. worked with 3, all blew.

and doing even go near an Okidata unless you want toner and supplies to cost more than your rent.

i heart HP with all my... heart. they're winning at around 15 and 0.

thank you, that is all.

6/6/06: Mark of beast or movie marketing? ...The Omen!

so far there's not much news about craziness surrounding people's superstitions. just some moms-to-be delaying giving birth and people betting on whether today will be the end of the world (what do you get if you bet it is and win?).

Well have no fear folks, Adult Swim is rerunning them starting next month. I bet it would be a great show to watch for a drinking game.

For everyone's sake, I hope they take out Saved By the Bell. What the heck was that doing on late night cartoon series?
