7-Eleven is officially in superhero mode - Superman Slurpee cups!

by -RoG- on 05/29/2006, 2:43 am

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a Slurpee!?

A Superman slurpee? Why I'll drink it faster than a speeding bullet!

Your eyes do not deceive you. 7-Eleven has just released what is perhaps the most insane tie-in Slurpee cup of all time: The Superman Slurpee Mug. I thought their Star Wars Slurpee cup top from last year where you could drink out of Darth's head was going above and beyond, but this new Superman one takes the cake. If you want to reach a new plateau in comic book geekdom, then this is surely the item for you. This 32oz cup will run you $2.49, which includes a free Slurpee fill with the purchase. But really, in the grand scheme of all things, $2.49 is a small price to pay when you think of all the people who will ridicule you as you walk down the street drinking out of a cup shaped like Superman's chest emblem. That's assuming you make it down the street, because in all likeliness, you'd get hammer-punched in the cock the second you walked out of a 7-Eleven with one of these things. Money usually can't buy that kind of attention.

And yes, they did make a new "Kryptonite Ice" flavor to go along with the new Superman Slurpee mug, but I couldn't pass on my favorite Coca-Cola Slurpee flavor on this particular trip.

Another warning to those of you who (like me) have no shame when it comes to buying ludicrous items like this; be careful when you put the dome lid on these cups, they don't stay on very well. Sure, it tells you to "top it off" but the lids seem to be slightly too large, so all of that extra Slurpee on top could potentially end up in your lap. Consider yourselves warned.

Oh and if you want a little snack to go with your Slurpee, they have a tie-in for that too...

Actually, guacamole anything is kryptonite to my taste buds.

Yes, for a limited time guacamole-flavored Doritos will be called "Kryptonite" flavor. Frankly, you'd have to be a man of steel to survive the combination of guacamole Doritos and a Slurpee.

So there you have it, between Superman and X-Men, 7-Eleven as we know it has been taken over by superheroes. Maybe they can join forces to fight the evils that have been rolling around 7-Eleven's hot dog heater for 5 days straight.

Oh and speaking of X-Men, in case you missed it, here's my thoughts on "X-Men: The Last Stand".

X-Men: The Last Stand

by -RoG- on 05/26/2006, 7:54 pm

Just got back from seeing the new X-Men movie, but before I go on...

SPOILERS BELOW! SPOILERS BELOW! SPOILERS BELOW!

I had a really good time with the movie, despite all of the little annoyances in it which I'll get into now. First off, Nightcrawler isn't in it, which was expected, but they don't even explain where the hell he BAMF'ed off to. Secondly, what was with all the "gothy" mutants? It's like the only way they can make them evil is to make it look like they all went on a shopping spree at Hot Topic. "Teen angst mutants! We must rise against our corporate oppressors!" Third, Mystique wasn't in the movie much at all and it's always fun watching her fuck people up. Fourth, I can't believe they did the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch" crap.

Re also brought up a good point on the way out; they really tried getting rid of the blue mutants in this movie. Think about it, no Nightcrawler and they turned Mystique back into a regular human. Beast is the only one left who's blue. It's like they were worried that there would be too many blue mutants in the movie or something. Of course, they also left the ending wide open, so perhaps that "cure" was only temporary since we saw Magneto moving the chess piece? If that's true, then I assume Mystique will be back with her gargantuan angry blue boobs in part 4 to wreak havoc upon mankind.

But what about that little scene after the end credits? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Captain Picard, er, I mean... Professor Charles Xavier was blasted into a million little pieces. Is he a god now or something? Admittedly, I haven't read any of the comics because, well, they never interested me.

The little annoyances aside, I really liked the movie. The spectacular action sequences did not disappoint, seeing all the mutants in a big comic book-like battle was something I had wanted to see for a while, Beast was awesome, and Phoenix... well she looked downright frightening at times. I thought they did a great job with her and the rest o' the special effects. They also killed Cyclops too (I think) which makes me happy because I always thought he was a whiny bitch. Though, I must admit, I wanted to see Wolverine kill him instead.

So what'd all of you think of the flick?

Ahoy from California!

by -RoG- on 05/23/2006, 11:59 pm

So I'm still alive and kicking here in L.A., just a bit tired of looking at a million places to live each day. I'm also tired of working on a card table on these tiny-assed uncomfortable little folding chairs. But the main thing is I'm finally here and as soon as I find a better place to live and can get all my shit out of storage, things will feel a bit more normal. Problem is, finding a nice, affordable place with enough space in a good location isn't the easiest thing to do.

On the plus side, all this apartment hunting and driving around Los Angeles has really made me comfortable with the area. I've already been all over Glendale, Burbank, West Hollywood, etc. That's one of the hardest things about moving into a place you've never been before; getting out there and familiarizing yourself with the area. And when the area is as huge and spread out as Los Angeles, that can be pretty daunting.

The other day, I also realized that I'm going to fit in perfectly in this town. Why? Because there's people like this guy running around on the streets (watch the video).

Oh and since you guys want to see how I'm now sitting in the lap of luxury, check out my amazing entertainment and work center!

Ghettolicious!

Impressive isn't it? Yeah well, if you work hard in life, good things will come to you. All this and more can be yours some day! Dare to dream!

Anyway, I'm working hard on bringing all of the photos from our cross country trip to you guys. If all goes well, I'll have all the pics ready to show by next week. In the meantime, I'll be putting up all of the entries from the Super Mario Bros. contest sometime tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those. We had some real good ones and some real bad ones; but they'll all make you laugh one way or another.

And on a final note, remember that StagKnight movie I told you I-Mockery was going to be appearing in? They just sent me a snippet of one of the kills from the movie so I figured I'd share it with you guys. Click here to view the clip.

UPDATE: The Super Mario Bros. contest results have been posted! Check out all the comic strip entries and lemme know what you think!

I-Mockery’s Moving to California Road Trip!

Hate Thy Neighbor?

by -RoG- on 05/02/2006, 4:53 pm

So the big move is the day after tomorrow and I'm just about done packing. But even more exciting, in a "holy shit, this is really happening!" kind of way is that our two moving containers just arrived!

BIG BOXES :O

I'm sure the neighbors LOVE me right now since I'm taking up an extra two parking spaces (in our already limited spaces parking lot) with these big-assed containers. I guess it's like one final farewell to the people whom I've lived next to for almost 4 years, yet barely even spoken a word to. But hey, considering I've had to endure their karaoke parties and "kids slowwwwwwwly learning to play the violin" I'd say we're even. Ok, true, they had to endure my thrashin' guitar playing from time to time, so maybe we're not even. Maybe I came out just a little bit on top... and you know something? That's just fine by me.

More updates on the big move to California to come! If you're just now learning about the move, you can read the previous post here to learn a little more about what the hell is going on around here.

I-Mockery moving to the West Siiiiiiiiiiide!

by -RoG- on 04/26/2006, 2:45 pm

Some of you may have already heard about it, but it's now official: I'm moving to California! I'm gonna be living in Los Angeles (Glendale) to be exact and I simply cannot wait! My current place is actually the longest I've ever lived in one area - almost 4 years now. Before that, I was a Nomad; sometimes moving as much as 3 times in under a year! So why am I moving? For one thing, I've lived on the East coast my entire life and I feel it's high time for some change. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot about the East coast I love (aside from friends and family) and I strongly considered moving back up to Philly or even to New York (where I was born), but there's a lot of things I've grown tired of (such as the weather).

I want something completely different and California gives me just that. Aside from the fact that there will be a million new places to visit, things to see and people to meet, it's just a completely different world out there. Especially when I compare it with Richmond, VA. There's just not much going on here and I don't like having to drive all the way up to D.C. if I want to do something fun. In L.A. there's always a million things going on so that clearly isn't going to be an issue. Hell, there's the Fangoria's "Weekend of Horrors" event going on shortly after I'm moving in! Granted, I might be too busy to attend that one, but who knows. You may also recall, I went out to L.A. not too long ago to visit my pal Zug and go exploring all over the place (here's a photo gallery from that trek). Well, that pretty much sealed the deal as far as me wanting to move out there.

This is a move of epic proportions as far as moves go, mainly because a) it's so far away and b) I have a lot of stuff to pack/sell before we move. I've been packing up the place like a madman lately, selling off the tons stuff I definitely don't need (believe me, I'm the world's primo packrat so there's plenty of shit to weed through) and hauling off other things to keep in storage until I'm ready to bring them out West. For all the stuff that I am taking with me, I'm using a company that let's you put all your stuff into these giant boxes (much like PODs) and then they ship it across the country for you. I didn't want to do the UHaul thing because it's way more expensive and I'd somehow find a way to crash the truck during the journey and destroy everything I own. Having this other company bring my stuff across the country in those pod-boxes enables me to do something else though...

ROAD TRIP!

That's right, we'll be driving across the entire country (probably taking at least 7 days to do so) and hopefully checking out all sorts of crazy roadside attractions along the way. I'm armed with several books all about how you can still follow old Route 66, but I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of random things along the way not listed in the books that I'll want to stop by and see. And don't worry, I'll be bringing my digital camera and laptop with me, so the entire thing will be documented and you guys can see every place I visited. Granted, I'm guessing I won't have internet access for much if not all of the trip. Somehow I don't foresee a lot of WiFi hotspots in the Midwest, so I'll probably end up posting all the pictures and stories once I'm all settled in at my new place in Glendale. If I can ever get access to the web during my trip though, I'll definitely post a few updates along the way. If there aren't many updates on the site early next month, you'll know it's because I'm either driving across the country or somehow impaled myself on a cactus. Either way, it's a good chance for you to catch up on some of the older I-Mockery articles 'n what not that you may have missed out on. It's a big site, go exploring!

So there you have it, that's the big news! It's gonna be one hell of a big change, but I'm sure it'll be all for the better. If nothing else, I'll clearly have a lot o' new things to write about. Plus, I'll be living only 15 minutes away from Zug, and as you may or may not know, he's the programmer on a certain game that we've been planning to do. So this should help speed things up tremendously.

Words really can't describe how excited I am about all of this. I feel like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, only I'm not moving from Philly to Bel Air, I'm moving from Richmond to Glendale, and I'm not going from poor to rich, I'm going from financially stable to... who the hell knows. I also don't have an "auntie" who chases me around with a rolling pin at wacky high speeds while I rap about the hardships of my life. But hey, it's still pretty close to being like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Also, I expect to see several things immediately upon entering L.A.: Jack Bauer had better be fighting some bad guys since every terrorist act in that damned show somehow happens in L.A. And I expect to see a river of silicone flowing directly into all nearby medical facilities. They also better have another one of those giant pizzas waiting for me when I arrive.

It's scary and exciting all at once. This is gonna rule. (even if I am driving across the country when gas prices are higher than ever)
