Hot Wheels Mystery Cars: Part 1 Of 2.

by -RoG- on 05/18/2008, 2:49 pm

Oh the anticipation! Actually, I don't care about cars at all, but I can't resist a good mystery, damnit!

So I was walking around the toy aisles of Target the other day, like any grown man should, and I noticed a strange Hot Wheels package out of the corner of my eye. Normally, I barely even pay any attention to Hot Wheels since I generally don't give a damn about cars, but the solid black packaging drew my eyes in like a magnet. Hot Wheels "Mystery" cars??? It took all of about two seconds to realize I would be buying this thing immediately because I'm a total sucker for any kind of "mystery" items where you don't know what you're going to get. I've already posted evidence of this in the past with the Mystery Surprise Grab Bags from the dollar store. I've also posted about another form of mysterious automobiles from Matchbox in the form of Coal Cars. Those things came with a nice lump of coal to keep them in though, and these latest "Mystery" cars don't come with anything of the sort, so the cars themselves have a lot to live up to. After all, when something costs a whopping 99 cents like these mystery cars do, you expect it to be of the utmost premium quality, right? Right.

So let's see what I got... (more...)

Listen All Of Ya’ll It’s A Sabotage!

Why so blue?

We were at a video game party not too long ago and I made a costume for it: a scared ghost from Pac-Man. I once dressed up as Pac-Man when I was a kid, and I'll try digging through some old photos sometime to find a picture of it, but I never had a chance to be one of the ghosts. I dunno what it is about 'em, but I always loved how they turned blue with fear whenever Pac-Man ate a power pellet. Now, having worked on countless sprite-based games and comics, I'm extremely anal about making sure everything is absolutely pixel perfect, and making this costume was no different. I measured right down to the pixel an actual Pac-Man ghost and then translated it to the measurements of the large craftboard and foamcore that I would use to make it. Knowing I wouldn't be able to wear it during the entire party without crushing it, I opted to make something that I could later use as a wall decoration. What do you guys think? Personally, I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially since it was a last minute kind of thing that I put together in a day.

But most importantly, my buddy Tom captured one of my performances of "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys on Rock Band. You can watch me in all my rock star glory after the jump... (more...)

Fast Times At I-Mockery High.

by -RoG- on 05/07/2008, 6:29 pm

Aloha, I-Mockery dudes! All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

As you may have noticed, I've been somewhat absent on the site over the last week ever since I put up my big Toxic High School tribute. It just happens to be one of those extremely busy months for me where I have trouble finding the time to eat, let alone get my daily site work done. This past week, an old friend (and roommate) from Virginia came out to visit us here in L.A., so we gave him the grand tour o' the town. I now have only a few days to play catch-up on all of my work because my brother is coming out to visit this weekend and I'll be showing him all around the city as well. So as you can imagine, being a Los Angeles tour guide for almost two weeks straight is leaving me very little time to work on the site. I'm also going to be doing some traveling this month as well, but at least that will lead to some good photos and stories I'll be able to share with ya. (more...)

Who Left That Coupon There?

by -RoG- on 04/22/2008, 2:13 am

The Great Grocery Whodunnit

I'm sure you've all experienced this before, but it's one of those things that I never hear people talking about, so I'm bringing it up now. You go into a grocery store, and you find a lone coupon placed on top of one of the products you occasionally buy. It's not one of those in-store coupons that comes from the mechanical dispensers you find in some aisles, no siree... this is a bona-fide mailer coupon that was clipped out by somebody and left for one lucky individual to find. My question to you guys is simple: who is leaving these random coupons on the grocery shelves? (more...)

Mallow Fries: Candy Or Abomination?

by -RoG- on 04/18/2008, 12:09 am

Damnit! These just make me want real fries...

As I was wandering through my local CVS the other day, I noticed they had a new section of candies near all of their "get ready for summer!" crap. While the allure of new flip-flops and a rainbow-riddled beach towels would probably prove to be too strong for most people, my eyes were already locked on these marshmallow monstrosities. Kandy Kastle is a company that clearly knows how to bend marshmallows to their will. If they wanted marshmallows to take on the form of a fully functional German zeppelin, I'm pretty sure they could pull it off somehow. But since a life-sized marshmallow zeppelin won't fit on store shelves, they're going with fries instead. Let's take a closer look at their "Mallow Fries" and see what twisted fluffy secrets they contain, shall we? (more...)

Damnit, Kool-Aid Man! Look What You Did!

by -RoG- on 04/14/2008, 2:34 am

OH NO!

We all know the Kool-Aid Man has a reputation for busting through walls to give you a refreshing drink, but this old comic book cover shows that he doesn't just limit himself to our homes. He'll nonchalantly bust through the hull of a space shuttle in outer space too whenever he has the chance. Now, on earth, this would only mean a big repair bill, but in space we have quite a different story. His busting through the hull of a space shuttle would instantly cause everybody inside to get sucked out into the endless black abyss, floating until they died either from a lack of oxygen or (in the case of the two kids with the space helmets there) starvation. Actually, I'm pretty sure those kids would suffocate too, because while they are wearing space helmets, they don't have any astronaut suits on, just t-shirts and jeans. So, unless those are some kind of magical space helmets that allow you to wear regular clothes while floating through space, I'm pretty sure those kids would be screwed in an instant. (more...)
