Colonel Angus Anyone?

Burger King has a new burger called the Angus Steak Burger, so I asked the girl at the drive-thru if it was named after the Colonel. Predictably, she responded, "Who?" So I said, "You know, the Colonel, Colonel Angus? He was a great Civil War hero. Come on, Colonel Angus? Colonel Angus? Next your going to tell me you don't know who Ray Charles is." I tell you what, do not piss off a young African American woman at a drive-thru at lunch time. Seriously, bad idea. There was definitely spit in my burger. Probably a little bit of Colonel Angus, too.

Anyway, I just got me a set of these Jay and Silent Bob Action Figures:



To christen my new apartment. Gotta' have some new toys for my new place. It only took me four hours to pack up all of my other toys last night. I love moving!

Thanks to Tom Fool for getting me on the subject of Colonel Angus.

Ride That Pony!

Everyone knows that Adidas, Puma, Vans, and Nike make the coolest shoes around. Everyone has seen the Laser Cut Nike's, the customizable old skool Vans. Everybody's got a pair of funky-colored Puma's lying around somewhere. And who has never owned a pair of Adidas Sambas? But if you want to be fresh on the scene with something no one else will be wearing, you gotta' get yourself a pair of Pony's!

I remember I must have been around eleven or twelve years old, hanging out at the mall. I had a brand new pair of hi-top Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars and I was going up the escalator, not really paying attention. When I reached the top, I planned to let the escalator gently release me onto the upper level, but instead it grabbed a hold of the fronts of my shoes and tried to drag me into its mechanical depths. I freaked out and started screaming and had to rip the fronts of my shoes off in order to free myself! Mall security accused me of trying to damage private property, and I accused their escalator of trying to kill me, and eventually it was all settled by the mall buying me a brand new pair of Pony's from K-Mart. Although I don't remember them being nearly as cool as these Pony Midtown Crackles:



I also appreciate these Pony Turf '79's:



And these sweet camo Pony California '78's:



Get these and other fine Pony's online at www.zappos.com before they get so hot you can't find them anymore.

There's A New Toy Store In Town

And it's name is Wootini!



Wootini will be opening June 21^st at the Carr Mill Mall in Carrboro, North Cackalacky. It is the first such shop of it's kind in the area, and is the kind of place I was thinking about opening on 9^th Street in Durham. Damn them, they beat me to the punch! I'm sure I will be spending a lot of time and money there. Is that a tingle in my Achilles heel?

Cannabis Vodka

Who needs to smoke it when you can drink it and get the effects of two intoxicants at once? Actually, the cannabis seed oil that is used in the production of this Limited Ed. Cannabis Vodka probably won't get you high. Cannabis seeds don't really contain THC, the active ingredient in the leaves and buds of the plant. THC is alcohol soluble, however, so don't put this stuff in your water pipe unless you want to waste your cannabis. Of course if you drink enough Cannabis Vodka, it will definitely get you wasted! I'm very interested in what this stuff tastes like, especially since it is made by a Russian oil company.

Cheesiness

I have written some really cheesy entries recently. Well, like yesterday and today. Okay, there were some cheesy ones before that, but mostly I like to drop the ill shiznitz on ya'. Like this Limited Ed. Moog 50th Anniversary Watch:



Combining my love of Moog synthesizers and cool watches with this watch, limited to only 500, Bob Moog has only increased my respect for him. Moog is also releasing these Limited Ed. Moog Album Tees:



These also make me very happy. So happy that I'm pissing all over myself.

One More Silver Dollar

And I'm not gonna' let 'em catch me, no, not gonna' let 'em catch the midnight rider!

Well, I thought that it would take a little longer before Ronald "McDonald" Reagan got his face on some money, but apparently the National Collector's Mint beat everyone to the punch. They actually have two new collector's coins dedicated to the jelly bean addict. First, the Limited Ed. Ronald Reagan Silver Dollar:



This is the only officially authorized Ronald Reagan commemorative coin and, according to the website from this lousy piece of spam I received:

They said he was just an actor. But he played the role of President like he was born for it. His critics predicted he would wilt under the stress of the world’s toughest job. But he took a would-be assassin’s bullet and kept right on leading the Free World without missing a step. They said he wouldn’t grasp the complexities of the Cold War. So, all he did was win it. He was “the Great Communicator.” Most importantly, President Ronald Reagan inspired our renewed patriotism and love for America.

Okay, so half of that is b.s. There is a strict limit of five on these bad boys, so get yours today. The other collector's coin is a crappy medallion that really isn't worth mentioning. It's not nearly as nice as that painted silver dollar, no sir. I would rather have a Limited Ed. Legal Tender Harry Potter Coin than one of those crappy R.R. medallions anyway. The Harry Potter coin is officially authorized legal tender on the Isle of Man, imagine that. Once again, you can't make this kind of stuff up folks.

Limited Edition Muff

You can't make this stuff up, people. You can only sit back and enjoy it.

Who among us doesn't love a nice Limited Edition Muff?



I know I just can't wait for winter when I can sink my hands into a nice warm muff. This muff is from a faux Crystal Fox. I remember when I went to The Crystal Fox Lounge in Reno, Nevada. Sure, all the ladies there are over 65, but that just means they are more experienced. They know how I like it. But some of them may need some Merkins to cover up where they are getting a little thin, if you know what I mean.

Post #75! And for some reason I am still counting them!

Supersweet!!!

Remember back in the day when the first Star Wars movie came out and you couldn't believe your eyes? You had never seen anything like it before. It was a little scary, but exhilirating to watch. And then came the merchandise. Little, three-and-a-half inch figures in clear, molded plastic shells attached to informational cards with pictures from the movie on the front and pictures of the other toys on the back, so you could decide what you wanted to get next. All the ships, troop transporters, and battlescapes that realistically recreated scenes from the movie. I had it all, and it was all sold at yard sales for pennies to kids who wouldn't appreciate it nearly as much as I had. Well, now I can recreate that feeling of joy that I had back then with this Limited Ed., not for retail sale, carded Sandtrooper Kubrick by Medicom that Julian has over at Why Workshop:



I'm sure they will be ridiculously expensive. The carded Luke Skywalker Kubrick is selling for seventy-five dollars US on e-bay, the carded R2-D2 Kubrick from the hit TV series "Droids" goes for over a hundred bucks US, and if you can find it, the carded Boba Fett Kubrick is going for anywhere from a hundred to four hundred dollars US, damn. That giddy, child-like feeling of anticipation fades quickly when faced with those kinds of prices.

Pretty Kitty

Limited Ed. is an animal lover. Not in the sick beastiality sense, you freak. I can't believe you were even thinking that. He likes having pets, they are very relaxing and entertaining. And people who have pets tend to live longer, happier lives. Limited Ed. already has a cat, but if he were to get another one it would be one of these amazingly cute Toyger Cats... the house cat with the look of a mini tiger!



Unfortunately, there are no breeders listed on the Toyger breeder page. That is why it is a Limited Ed. cat, I guess. Also, check out the Pixie Bobcat, the Bengal cat and the Savannah Cat. All of these are new breeds and very cute.

Delicious Sneaks

Most vegetarians I know don't really care that much about what their clothes are made of. They really just care what their food is. Of course, most of the vegetarians I know aren't really vegetarians. They all eat fish, and they all wear leather. For those of you out there that prefer a more vegan or mocrobiotic lifestyle, i.e. you don't eat anything that casts a shadow, you got these Limited Edition Red Eliot Sneakers:



Personally, I'm still waiting for Adbusters to come out with their Black Spot Sneakers:



Until they come out in September I will just have to wish for a pair of Adidas Gazelle "Naturals":



These shoes are made from hemp to satisfy my hippie chic desires.
