Probably because I’m hungry right now, I’ve got food items to put on my Christmas wish list.
First up, there’s a product out there called Crispycones, and I’m already moving Hot Pockets around to make room in my freezer.
And while I’m waiting, can somebody please make me one of these? Funfetti, of course.

I scream, "Pizza!"
He screams, "I'm done!"
I should have included this song on my list of memorable movie music, but it is not remembered by many other than me.
Walt Disney released Condorman in theaters in 1981, and I don’t think I saw until it arrived on VHS a few years later. It was back when Disney released movies on those white clamshell cases that had stickers… not slip sheets like the later stuff did.
The later stuff
Apparently, the DVD was released by Anchor Bay 10 years ago, and since then has gone out of print. Used editions go for $40, while new ones go for $85-150!
So I guess my wish would more accurately be – PLEASE RE-RELEASE CONDORMAN ON DVD! Last year, when all I wanted for Christmas was that Parker Lewis Can’t Lose to get released on DVD, I never thought it would come true so soon!
If Condorman is unlikely, then I have a second option… Yor: The Hunter from the Future. That hasn’t been released on DVD in the U.S. at all, so how about a little love?
It’s that time of year again, when the bugging reaches an apex – What do you want for Christmas? What do you want for Christmas?!
All right! I’ll tell you.
For starters, I’d like either one of these t-shirts. I only want one, because I don’t think I could pull off that level of irony more than once per laundry load. (Click on each self-explained pic for the link to the site.)
"Mommy, is there a Chippendale's in heaven?" "I hope so, sweetie. I hope so."
"There are too many babies in the corner! Can anyone else help?"
(I apologize for being behind on posts… I plan to catch up soon.)
My friend (and coworker) Chris often makes interesting web discoveries, and he always passes the info onto me, and I to you. I always make sure to give credit where credit is due, so I thank him for his finds as a footnote. No more. Maybe.
This could be a one-shot; it could be a regular. If it is, will this post stay the Chris List, or will it get a more clever name? I can’t say for sure. What I can say for sure is that the following website delighted our coworkers for hours/days on end. Unfortunately I was busy at clients, and didn’t get to partake in the shenanigans…
"This is what we like to call a 'choose your own adventure' family photo."
The URL says it all, and not all of the pics and comments are hilarious, but when you find a gem – it rocks. Unlike that pun. Awkwaaard…
2) This pic is worth 1002 words…
Chris doesn’t even have an iPhone, but he made me aware of this site. And even though it is iPhone centric, and I feel bad for bringing it up, it could be worth it if any of the games pan out to be good…
Just like digital candy...
Check it daily to see what new free games are available for download. Like you ever do anything I say.
BONUS AWKWARD:
"Ever wondered what the kid with the clarinet is really thinking?"
To begin… these aren’t special deals. These are suggestions I’ve hand-picked for you. I’ve categorized them into groups for those hard-to-buy-for loved ones. A lot of them happen to be USB products. Go figure. (Click each image for more information.)
FOR GRANDMA:
Grandma collects good luck trolls and loves cats, so why not get her one of these! (Possible setback: Grandma doesn’t have a computer… hey, there’s another gift idea on the house!)
Yoda blushes when his lightsaber glows! Wait, that sounds NSFW...
Transforms your jump drive into a cat!
FOR GOTH SISTER:
She hates almost everything… except cigarettes and ironic murder!
When Texting & Driving meets Smoking & Typing...
Even unicorns hate mimes...
FOR ANNOYING KID BROTHER:
Known for liking gross things and dumb things, you can’t go wrong with these!
Saves the mess of squeezing a real frog.
This ain't your daddy's Pet Rock! It has a USB cord!
FOR PERVERTED UNCLE:
I’d suggest having these delivered to his house.
She gyrates whether or not there's any porn surfing.
I'm not here to judge. Only to provide ideas.
FOR DOUCHEBAG BROTHER AND MASSEN-GIRL SISTER:
Oh brother… oh sister…
Leave your guitar at home and play Maroon 5 songs on this shirt!
Perfect for when girls go wild!
FOR DAD:
Dad thinks he’s funny. I mean, he maybe once was, but times change. Time to change his towel:
FOR MOM:
Mom would like to be funny as well. This might provide her the chance to freak everyone out. Maybe.
FOR GRANDPA:
He’s classy. He maybe fought in a war or two. He married your grandma and stuck around as the above brood grew. Get him this:
It's understated, and upside-down.
There are three phases to my gratitude for the lovely Alison Brie.
1) As Trudy Campbell on Mad Men, she first caught my attention. Playing a put-upon cuckquean, she somehow reminded me of a real-life Disney Princess that realized wishing gets you nowhere. And oh how I wish to meet her! she was on Saturday Night Live instead of co-star January Jones!
His disregard for her feelings makes me a mad man!
2) As Annie Adderall Edison on Community, she wriggled further into public awareness in a more notable role. And she’s also proved she’s funny. And funny goes a lot further in the cute department, of which she’s the manager.
Will she end up with Troy, Jeff, or the entire Community?!?
3) And of course, there’s always this case study in stunning black and white…
If have never heard of Tommy Wiseau or The Room, then you’re missing out:
Watching it is like having a fever dream, only the movie makes less sense than a parasite-driven meltdown.
The fact that this has been produce and is ready for sale brings great joy to the cold cockles of my heart, and for that, I’m thankful.
I wish his hair was real.
Also thankful?
The Gang can always make room for The Room
"Hey would you like to swing on a star..." Oh no wait, that's the theme from "Out of This World"
…or should I say, “I am thankful someone else has heard of Otherworld.” In the days since the TripleDoubleU has taken its foothold as our MRS (memory replacement system), there are few things I cannot find any mention of out there via Google.
Unfound(dead) Item #1 – Fender Bender ring anyone’s bells?
Unfound(dead) Item #2 – Anyone else ever hear that John Williams reversed a song he wrote to make the Star Wars theme (other than the Indiana Jones theme which is the dumbest rumor I ever heard!)?
Anydogpile, I remember Otherworld for only one thing – everyone there was primarily left-handed. Nobody on all the other blogs I checked mentioned that. Oh well. It existed. You can watch all eight episodes from the 1985 show here. Or just watch the intro and end below. Or do nothing but dream about turkey. This was my Thanksgiving miracle, not yours, so I’d understand. Jerk.
I wonder if Eco Pods make good echoes...
I’m environmentally conscious. I don’t pollute, and my biggest pet peeve is polluters. Whether it’s plastic CD wrappers being dropped walking out of stores, fast food bags being tossed out car windows, or emptied glass bottles being left in parking lots, my blood instantly boils. I’m not perfect in the green department, but in this regard, I mark myself an emerald shade. (I even changed one of my friend’s littering ways.)
Not to be outdone, this is filled with marijuana plants.
So I’m always looking for ways to improve, and it appears the city of Boston is, too. An architecture firm and science lab teamed up to produce the above…
…a vertical tower of prefabricated “eco pods” filled with bio-fuel producing algae for the space. The new tower would act as a center to test new algae species and different growing methods. (via Inhabitat)
Even though I truly despise Boston’s sports teams (I’ve mentioned it before), I really liked Boston Legal. And now I’m in favor of the sci-fi flavored forward-thinking that’s going on there. Perchance the developers bring such technologies to Detroit? We have tons of abandoned buildings.
Do you think robot arms are ticklish?
P.S. I also hold this against Boston…
Self-Titled Boston Rob: World-Titled Survivor Douche
For 23 years, the Burning Man festival has taken place in the Black Rock Desert, and since I first heard about it in an old issue of Marvel’s X-Force (it was issue #75 at the point when Cannonball, Siryn, Warpath, Sunspot, and Boom-Boom Boomer Meltdown comprised the line-up), I’ve been curious about it. By saying I’m curious, I’ve been picked on at work. I’m not sure why, exactly, because based on the pictures below, it looks… weird. And I’m always thankful for that.
