The Public Push-Up.

Oh don't mind me... I'm just doin' some push-ups!

My friends, I come to you today with alarming news of a new phenomenon which I have witnessed twice in the past 24 hours. I was driving down Sunset Boulevard earlier today when I noticed a shirtless fellow drop to the pavement and begin to do push-ups. Mind you, he wasn't doing this in a park or some other recreational area, but on the sidewalks in front of various shops. At first, I shrugged it off, figuring it was just one of those random peculiar things you see every now 'n then while living in a big city. (more...)

The “PickleMan Begins” Beta Test Was An April Fool’s Day Gag? You Don’t Say!

OH HOW I LOVED WHEN YOU ATED MY HEAD, PICKLEMAN!

So yeah, for those of you who didn't get it, the "PickleMan Begins" Flash game beta test was a complete joke. I'm sure most of you realized this fact quickly, but it never ceases to amaze me how there's always a handful of people who think these gags are the real deal. It's all part of the fun though and I gotta thank Nick (Bomtoons) for staying up with me this weekend and working on my latest absurd April Fool's Day gag. Having done fun ones in the past like the I-Grounds prank, I always feel like I need to top myself (as with most anything I work on, even though that's an unrealistic expectation much of the time), but it's always a good time brainstorming ways to screw around with people or give 'em some extra laughs come April 1st each year.

“The Monster Squad” And “Night Of The Creeps”? Now That’s What I Call A Night On The Town!

If only every sight in our daily lives was this cool...

Doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye seeing that beautiful marquee? Seeing rare prints of two of my favorite cheesy horror/comedy flicks in the same night for 7 bucks with writer/director Fred Dekker there to talk to the audience? There may be no finer way to spend an evening and it sure as hell started my weekend off right. (more...)

Beetles And Gum, Together At Last!

Let's have a stag party... a stag beetle party that is! HOORAY FOR BUG JOKES ROFLROFLROFL!

The last time I reported to you about something interesting I found at Mitsuwa Marketplace, the greatest Japanese grocery store in L.A., it was to show you that the old Orbitz novelty beverages do still exist under the guise of Capsela. Today, I wanted to share with you this little oddity that I recently found in Mitsuwa's candy aisle. Granted, I don't speak a word of Japanese, but when I see a box depicting stag beetles crawling around on it in the candy aisle, I don't ask questions... I just buy, buy, buy! So just what were these mystery stag beetle boxes all about? Let's take a closer look... (more...)

Who Couldn’t Use A Tentacle Arm?

please note: the Tentacle Arm is simply a novelty item and NOT a rape device.

If there's one thing we humans got screwed over on, it's gotta be our lack of tentacles. Yes, yes, the whole opposable thumbs thing is keen, don't get me wrong... I just think when it comes down to it, we could all accomplish a hell of a lot more if we had tentacles. Just imagine the power you'd feel with suction cups on your squigly arm extension.

Well, fortunately the Gaia Online Store has decided to grant us the same powers that have been bestowed upon our octopus and squid brethren. Behold the almighty tentacle arm! (more...)

Don’t Eat The Yellow Polymer Snow.

Warning: Super Snow is not a dietary supplement. It may, however, prove to be a powerful laxative.

One of the perks of running a big entertainment site is that you get all sorts of interesting emails from people. Yes, I get to hear from lots of cool, like-minded people who want to share their thoughts about the articles I've written or to tell me about something I should write about at some point, but I also get to hear from nutjobs every now 'n then too. Today I received an email from one of those delightful wackos, and the best part is that this one decided to breed.

Remember that article about "Super Snow" I did back in December of '06? Well a mom just sent me an email inquiring about the product that I simply had to share with you. I'll omit her full name to spare her any public embarrassment, but you've got to read this: (more...)
