InASense, Lost… So That’s Where Santa Claus Comes From

As a kind and generous soul, I implore you – gather up your children, and together watch this origin story of Santa Claus.  Revel in the triumphs and joys of his journey from his humble beginnings in the Korvatunturi Mountains, to the plush decorative throne at your local mall and local malls around the world…

But be careful.  If you do not respect Father Christmas, this will be the outcome (if you’re lucky):

If any of the above has offended or scarred you, you’re welcome.  If you want to take matters up with the company, please feel free to contact Rare Exports, Inc by clicking on this link.

Merry Christmas, bitches!

Hibbidy-Wah?! Give Me A F—ing (Christmas) Break

I’m running low on my Christmas spirit as I’m quickly realizing most all of my Christmas wishes are not coming true.  Smack that up against with me coming across this over-indulgent greeting card that almost two-million people have already seen (speaking of smack, that kid’s mug is begging for one):

I watched the entire extravaganza, and I guess the guy that set it up used to do special effects for Disney, but still… ick.  The song is even terrible.

It kind reminds me of a light show version of this:

"It's craptastic!"

 (And for the record… no, I am not his neighbor…)

All I Want For Christmas Is… Parajet SkyCar – No, I Mean, BackJoy

I had a mystery that required solving (as all mysteries do) about a week ago.  The situation was this:

I had awakened in the middle of the night to witness an infomercial for a product that you sat on, and it was supposed to help your spine align properly.  I had no more to go on than that… well… that, and the website site that sounded something like BooYah.com.

I asked everyone around the office.  I Googled as fervently as I could.  I could not find anything about this thing you sit on for spine support.

That was until I stumbled upon the word “orthotic.”  And indeed, the product was like a shoe insert.  Very soon after I found it… BackJoy.

As Danny Glover once said, in his mid-20's, "I'm too young for this shit."

 My co-workers had me thinking I dreamed it, when it was truly a reality.  No longer would I be uncomfortable sitting on stools without backs at the bars – I could have BackJoy!  And that’s when it hit me.  I’d have to carry this thing around with me, wherever I went, because I’m sure my back would get used to it.

So then I settled upon wanting this.  It was love at first glance:

An older Danny Glover was overheard saying, "I'll take ten." (Because he's rich, you see.)

Parajet SkyCar – the flying auto!  A reality actually spawned in my dreams!  Oh, the places– wait, what’s that?  It glides?  With a parachute?

Just give me the BackJoy.  And make sure it comes with a carrying case…

All I Want For Christmas Is… Any Of These Toys (But Mostly MindFlex… Maybe)

I haven’t been this amazed since I’ve seen babies reading, but this MindFlex toy looks incredible.

Use your brain to move around a ball!  How could any kid not want this!  Well, that is unless it’s a scam

So if that idea doesn’t fly (ha!), how about some of these Cubedudes!  Who doesn’t love superheroes made out of Legos?

Something's fishy if Aquaman's included...

Oh.  They’re a personal project.  Thanks for getting my hopes up (Comics Alliance I’m looking at you)!  You surely wouldn’t screw me twice, because if I can’t have those, I’ll gladly take one of these:

The Rocketeer got the Feds and the Mafia to work together to fight Nazis... He's a certified hero!

Consarn it!

Okay, then just give me this… it’s available on most reputable retail sites…

I've never met a stripper named Carousel, though it seems like it could be possible.

 Oh.  It’s $250.  That’s about $230 over our spending limit.  Never mindflex.

All I Want For Christmas Is… To Live Here, Sleep Here, Or Drive This

Like any person stuck in their own life, I dream of other places to be, other things to sleep on, and other things to drive. Here are each of my wishes:

1) Habitat 67

Named so because it was built in 1967, this prefab community looks cool as whip. It’s located in Montreal, which I think is in Canada (I’m just kidding… I know it’s in Mexico). So it’s old and in another country, which would normally be two strikes against a place, yet I still would like to inhabitat it. That’s mostly because I hear there’s a lot of models there (source needed). Wait, you don’t think they mean models, like “women posing” do you? ‘Cause that’d be so much better than putting together plastic crap with glue…

This is where the new version of "The Prisoner" should have been filmed.

2) Hide-A-Bunk-Bed

How cool are things that transform? The correct answer – very. Except when it comes to couches that transform into beds. But not anymore, thanks to this brilliant idea.

If only I could get somebody to sleep over...

Or would you prefer the Do Hit Chair?

This chair costs $6000. Srsly...

3) A-Team Smart Car

‘Nuff said.

All I Want For Christmas Is… Crispycones To Go Big Time (Or A Big Top Cupcake To Go In My Belly)

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!"

All I Want For Christmas Is… Condorman On DVD (Also Acceptible – Yor: The Hunter From The Future)

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?

All I Want For Christmas Is… One Of These Patrick Swayze T-Shirts

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.)

Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? Besides Band Names, What Do These Actors Have In Common?

This one took me awhile to figure out, but it doesn’t make the Coinkydink or Coinkdonk any less powerful (and they’re not very powerful to begin with)…

With Actor! Jared Leto out there fulfilling his Jordan Catalano duties as the lead singer in his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, I suddenly realized that his band name was a hybrid of two other Actors!‘s band names that came before:

  • Russell Crowe rocked out the number angle with his group, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts
  • Keanu Reeves kept it chill in space with his band, Dogstar

30 Odd Foot of Dogstar

So… weird, huh?  Slightly.  I mean, Kevin Costner, Julitte Lewis, and Jada Pinkett Smith’s band names (Modern West, The Licks, and Wicked Wisdom disrespectively) don’t bear any similarity to the others or each other.

So I posed a question to my co-workers and friends… besides each being in a band, what do these three Actors! have in common?

There was only one in particular that I remembered.  On this dreamed up website (the URL was still available last time I checked), they turned the infamous, allegedly dirty, C-3PO trading card into a light switch.
