Click that nonsense up thur. Then do the insanely easy registration and give the cat a greenlight. That way he wins life. I’m pretty sure he’d be more than willing to return the favor.

I’m taking an action analysis class in the animation department this semester. I’ll periodically upload the pencil tests and stuff that I’ve been doing. I looped this one 3 times since it’s so quick. It’s like a quarter of a megabyte. I know it’s lame. It’s homework.

I found an awesome website that has over a hundred TV ads from the 80’s. This shit blows my mind. They have the ad for C3P0’s, the Star Wars branded breakfast cereal. They have an ad for GI-Joe Bridgelayer, which is seriously the crappiest toy idea I’ve ever heard of, a Barbara Bush PSA from the days when she wasn’t so busy condescending to people who have just lost everything in a natural disaster to tell America how well television and books go together. No idea if she’s reading The Pet Goat in there. Video is grainy. That’s the only drawback: they’re all in WMV so have that craziness installed.

All in all, this has had me amused for hours. G’head and waste your day. I won’t fight you.

I have no control over my actions when I’m in a grocery store and I spot something absurd. If a food item achieves a certain level of absurdity, I simply have to buy it. Here’s the scorecard that I can remember. There was probably more but I’ve likely shut the trauma of the experience out of my memory.

Spongebob Squarepants Pop-Tarts
Description: The filling was called ‘Wild Bubbleberry,’ which as near as I could reckon, was just plain old strawberry filling, but with less scruples. Then they were frosted with bright blue stuff, into which were embedded little candy spongebob characters in all sorts of wacky colors.

Outcome: The thing about pop-tarts is there are always two wrapped in plastic, so you kind of have to cook both at the same time. Not that they would go bad if you left them unwrapped, but that shit just works. Psychologically. Anyways, after one you’re so fucking bent on sugar that the other one actually seems like a good idea, because despite the vile melange of industrial baking chemical flavors that you’ve slogged through on the first one, that second one beckons you. You cram it in and let the boiling sugar frosting burn your palette even more. Then you go into convulsions.

Score: Them: 1, Me: 0

Woalaver’s Organic Oatmeal Stout
Description: Unassuming six pack design. Looks like some kindly souls took it upon themselves to fill a gap in the organic foods market by lovingly creating some fine microbrews for the beer lover.

Outcome: You crack open the first bottle in the pack and take a quesadilla in to the TV room and sink into the couch. You take a bite of your quesadilla, and as you swallow, you bring the bottle to your lips. You tip. You take in a mouthful, and you realize, yes, that this is easily in the top 5 for most disgusting tastes you’ve ever had in your mouth. Maybe even number 2. That time your buddy shot a load in your mouth when you passed out will probably never leave spot number 1. You rush back to the store and see if you can get a refund, but they tell you to go fuck yourself. You go back home and attempt to do the honorable thing and finish what you started, but you fail and have to throw out an $8 six pack. For fuck’s sake. Oh fuck and the quesadilla is cold now. FUCK.

Score: Them: 2, Me: 0

Monty Python’s Holy Grail Ale
Description: Pint-sized, $4 beer bottle with monty python shit on the label. Irresistible to a man with my proclivity for these sorts of thing.

Outcome: After hemming and hawing for a couple of days (traumatized after my last risky beer purchase), I finally poured myself a glass of this and was pleasantly surprised at how much it didn’t suck. In fact, it was firmly on the side of rocking. Quite firmly indeed. Now if it wasn’t so goddamn expensive it could be a regular thing for me. If only…

Score: Them: 2, Me: 1

Marshmallow Blasted Froot Loops.
Description: Take a box of Lucky Charms and filter all the actual cereal out of it so you just have those little ‘marshmallows’. Then add those to a box of Froot Loops. Add milk. Eat.

Outcome: These were exactly as vile as they sound. They FUCK your head up. I couldn’t eat a bowl of them without having a pounding headache for a good hour afterwards. And I ate the whole box over the course of an agonizing week. You must understand that a serving of these contains 53 grams of sugar. FIFTY FUCKING THREE. Most of the insane kids cereals I’ve had are lucky to go past 15, but the Kellog’s corporation, using scientific sugar density breakthroughs, managed to up the ante. Big time. And they’re totally heinous.

Score: Them: 3, Me: 1

Spicy Thai Flavor Kettle Chips
Description: Kettle Chips are a gourmet brand of potato chips. They cut the ‘taters thicker than most and cook in fresher oils in smaller batches. They’re really tasty. They have about a million flavors ranging from Salt and Vinegar to New York Cheddar and Herb. Now they have Spicy Thai.

Outcome: I didn’t have high hopes for these, since chips almost never have fair names for their flavors, but these actually DO evoke thai spices. I think they might have actually USED thai spices. And somehow that tastes good on fried potato. Go figure.

Score: Them: 3, Me: 2

That’s all I got for now.

Someone throw me a flotation device. I’m drowning in a sea of apathy.

And now you know because I blogged it. Woooooooooo.
