Boo Berry Auction Antics On eBay.

by -RoG- on 02/18/2009, 1:24 pm

Some of you probably recall the "Create A Monster Cereal" contest I held back in the 2007 Halloween season. It was definitely one of our better contests as far as the quality of entries went, and perhaps it's because I was offering up the super rare Boo Berry costume (only available briefly via mail order back in the day) as the grand prize. Well, imagine my surprise when I was searching for "Boo Berry" on eBay the other day (one of my regular routines) when I see the same contest photo of me in one of the auction listings:

Why a fine costume like this isn't still in production is beyond me.

After further investigation, I noticed that the seller of the costume was none other than J. Tithonus Pednaud, the guy who won the contest here on I-Mockery! Turns out he was moving to a new place and had to sell off a bunch of his stuff. Obviously, this excuse alone wasn't acceptable. If it came down to leaving your kids behind or taking that costume with you, any person in their right mind would choose the costume. Mr. Pednaud did have another excuse with photographic proof to back it up at least...

'Look at the size of that boy's heed. I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick. That's a huge noggin! That's a virtual planetoid!' -Stuart Mackenzie

He apparently has himself a huge noggin and was unable to wear the costume without damaging it as a result. Poor Pednaud and his broken heart.

Well, I didn't want to see that costume go to some unappreciative home or to some collector who was just gonna try selling it for a fortune, so I decided I would be the one who would win this auction. However, I did have some questions about the costume since it had been out of my hands for well over a year. (more...)

Considering it's spread around the web like wildfire in less than 24 hours, I'm sure most of you have seen the "David After Dentist" video already. Well, upon viewing it, I knew this kid had something special and was destined for greatness. And just how can he achieve said greatness? Why... with the aid of METAL of course! With that in mind, I took it upon myself to create this special metal tribute to David. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Rock on young David... rock on!

Friday The 13th Parts 1-3 DVD Re-Releases.

by -RoG- on 02/02/2009, 5:29 pm

These DVDs look SO REAL in 3-D... it's like I'm actually holdin them!

With the 2009 remake of Friday The 13th right around the corner, Paramount has just re-released the first three films on DVD again and sent me some advance copies. Normally, this wouldn't matter at all to a guy like me who's owned the box set for ages now, but there are a few good things about some of these re-releases. First off, as you may already know, all of the Friday the 13th films were forced to be heavily edited by the MPAA back in the day in order to get an R rating. As a result, fans never got to see the full extent of some of Jason Voorhees' most memorable kills. Well, Paramount has finally started to give the fans some of that footage back.

For the first time ever, they've finally released Friday The 13th Uncut. All of the death scenes have been fully restored, so if you've been yearning to see extended footage of Jack (Kevin Bacon) getting an arrow shoved through his neck, this is the DVD for you. It also has some (more...)

Olvera Street Rules.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR SPICY TACO SAUCE!

I visited Olvera Street recently and it was quite awesome. As you can see, I walked away with one hell of a mask. I'll try to post all my photos from Olvera Street it by the end of the week. Until then, I assign you all with the highly important task of coming up with a name for my latest Mexican wrestling persona. Who knows... maybe I'll even have him battle my other persona, El Serpento, sometime. I'm always fighting with myself mentally, so I might as well make it more official with a physical battle of epic luchador proportions. Failure to suggest at least one name will result in me breaking into your home, putting you in a figure-four leglock and eating all your food.

A Little Birthday Trip To San Luis Obispo: Bubblegum Alley And Madonna Inn.

by -RoG- on 01/05/2009, 4:43 pm

Bubblegum Alley: where all wads of bubblegum go to die.

As I mentioned recently, my birthday was the day after Christmas, and since L.A. practically becomes a ghost town during the holidays each year, we decided to take a little road trip of our own because the prices of airline tickets were inexplicably astronomical. One of the places I had been intending to visit for a long time was San Luis Obispo because it was home to Bubblegum Alley. When we did our Great American Roadtrip a few years back, I remember reading about this awesomely kitsch little attraction in California. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of the towns we'd be able to hit during our epic cross-country journey, so I swore we'd visit it at some point in the future instead. Now I'll take any excuse I can get to drive up the incredibly scenic Pacific Coast Highway anyway, and since I didn't want to stay home for my birthday, this was finally the perfect excuse to pay San Luis Obispo a long overdue visit.

As you can see from the photo above, Bubblegum Alley certainly lives up to its name (click here for a larger view). Located off of Higuera Street, I was surprised at how they don't even make a big deal about it. There aren't any signs alerting each passerby to its existence, and it's definitely not something you'd notice from your car. I can only wonder how many people have driven through this small town not even realizing they missed the opportunity to view one of mankind's greatest achievements: an alley completely covered in bubblegum.
