For Mike

So last night, after the Flicker Film Festival's 50 Feet of Good and Evil (each film maker was given 50 feet of 8mm film and a camera, all edits had to be in camera and the film makers didn't see their films until the festival) which Mike, Drew and Lance all had films in, Mike was all pissed off at me for not having posted at all yesterday. So today I will post twice. First, this post is dedicated to Mike and his continuing lack of transportation.

Limited Ed.'s second favorite car in the whole world, after the 1974 Corvette Stingray convertible, is the 1967 Ford Mustang GT fastback:



It is fast and beautiful, full of piss and vinegar, which kind of makes it hard to get in, what with the smell and all. But he would definitely settle for one of these sick new 2005 Ford Mustang's:



This beauty will be flying off the showroom floor. Definitely Limited Ed. Of course, neither Mike nor I could afford this pretty, pretty baby, so we will just have to admire it from afar (or is that Jafar?).
I'm also partial to the new Lotus Elise and the new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

Papa?

This Limited Ed. Jason Siu - Gangster Paradise II - Will:



Action figure produced by Hot Toys reminds Limited Ed. of his Papa, 'cause they got the same name. And they are both large men with goatees who like to wear track suits and gold chains. The only differences are my Pappy ain't a DJ. And he's not black. Not on the outside, at least. His heart is as black as coal, though. And he eats babies in their sleep.

Limited Ed. has already preordered this figure, which is limited to only 200 pieces worldwide, so he will be able to give it to his Dad for father's day this year. Won't that be a great present? Let's watch and see as Limited Ed. gets his ass kicked for giving his Old Man something he could care less about: something that Limited Ed. really bought for himself.

Limited Ed. Spam

Limited Ed. has started getting spam about limited edition crap. That Stewie figure, for example. And this:



I keep seeing commercials for this piece of dreck on late night TV. I'd melt this thing down and use it to make some dope fronts for my grill. Maybe put my name in it, get a little diamond for my incisor. Grrraahhh!

Ouch!

Limited Ed.'s favorite car of all time is the Corvette Stingray. He was trying to find a limited edition version of the Stingray, but all he could find was this Limited Ed. 1978 Corvette Silver Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car:



Limited Ed. remembers when it first came out. What a sweet ride. Of course Limited Ed. can't afford the $9,700 to pick one up. Plus, it's not a Stingray. The Stingray nameplate was retired in 1976 (maybe 2006 would be a good time to bring it back, huh?). But in 1976 the Corvette Stingray only came in a coupe. 1975 was the last year the Stingray was offered as a convertible. But Limited Ed.'s absolute favorite Corvette Stingray of all time is this:



1974 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Sure it just has a 350 ci, 250 hp engine and not the Big Block 454 that was last offered in '74, but I don't care. The 454 was only offered in a t-top or coupe and Limited Ed. has to have a convertible. And a '74, 'cause that's the year he was born. Now Limited Ed. just has to scrounge up $14,900. Come on, somebody out there has gotta' be able to lend Limited Ed. the money. Come on! Anybody?

Thanks to Spike TV's 52 Favorite Cars of All Time for inspiring my renewed passion for the Stingray (Limited Ed. is also partial to the 1969 Stingray, the year the Stingray nameplate returned to the Corvette, and the original 1963 Sting Ray).

TV Addiction

I am here today to reveal the dangers of TV addiction! Every year millions of people fall prey to this deadly menace. Just look at this evidence of how TV addiction has infiltrated other aspects of everyday life. This Limited Ed. LG Electronics TV Refrigerator for example:

The 26-cubic-foot side-by-side model refrigerator features a cable-ready, 13-1/2-inch television screen, FM radio, two speakers and a television tuner. It also includes an automatic icemaker and tall water dispenser and comes in a titanium finish.

Available in June for just $3,200! Limited Ed. can't afford not to have at least two of these. Then, when you're in the bathroom (maybe feeding another addiction, or just puking after a night of binge drinking) and your TV addiction kicks in you got this Limited Ed. Seura TV Mirror:

This cleaver mirror offers a discreet and elegant way to bring information and entertainment into your personal spaces without clutter or disruption. When the television is off, the front is all mirror. When the power is on, the LCD displays a crisp image on the lower section of the mirror.

Available now for $2,700 to $5,400 depending on how much coke you want to be able to do off of it.

Limited Ed. is too tired to made any cute or funny comments about this crappy looking toy. He's definitely not buying it, though.

Transportation For Mike

I have been thinking some more about Mike's transportation problem, and I think I have it figured out. This Limited Ed. 40th Anniversary Chrome Kyosho Mini-Z Mad Force 1:28 Scale Monster Truck:



This is transportation that he could probably afford. Now all he has to do is figure out a way to shrink himself down to 1:28 scale and get someone to use the controller to drive him to work. Or maybe just shrink the controller down also, I mean, if he is going to shrink himself down anyway. Aw hell, Chewbacca, that would never work, hell.

Z-Z-Z-Zips!

I know this isn't really a Limited Ed. item, but there are only a few of them, and they are only located in a handfull of cities (Beantown, New Jerk, Dirty Jersey, the District of Crime, and lovely Chapel Hill, North Cackalacka), and I think it is hilarious that Chapel Thrill is one of them. Who knew? For $5 an hour or $55 a day you can drive around in a VW Bug or Mini Cooper owned and operated by Zipcar. I wonder if that includes insurance, 'cause Limited Ed. is a lousy driver, especially when he's drunk. And he's usually drunk. If only Mike weren't moving out to Hillsborough, he could really use this with his lack of transportation and all.

Thanks to Josh Rubin, Cool Hunter for the info.

Knights In White Pen?

Limited Ed. has gotten a little bored with toys (for right now, don't worry y'all, I'm sure it won't last long), so he decided to go digging for shtuff. And what did he find? This Limited Ed. Montegrappa 2004 The White Knights Fountain Pen:



Pretty sweet, huh? It makes me think of that song by the Moody Blues:

Knights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send,
'Cause I love you,
Whoa, I love you!

Now I am going to go cry in a corner.

No More Piggies

Alright, I couldn't look at that damn pig anymore, especially after playing Manhunt with Ryan all afternoon. So I figured I would let y'all in on this sweet extremely Limited Ed. Mad Capsule Market Special 12" Black Cybone by Medicom Toys. Sounds dirty, doesn't it? Like something you might see in Jenna Jameson's ass. It's actually a pre-order for a new action figure on Ningyoushi's website.



Limited Ed. already pre-ordered his, so he felt it was alright to let everyone he knows know about it. Not that any of them can actually afford it or are willing (or even want) to buy it.
