10 Summer Vacation Survival Tips from ‘The Great Outdoors’
Hey, look at me doing a League post! As some of you know, life just keeps throwing me curve balls covered in dog shit carrying communicable diseases that have kept me from blogging and being social (okay, I admit some of my time away was for gaming, too), but after...
Pizza Gyoza is Not Just for Ninja Turtles
Regular readers should already know I'm a huge fan of Nickelodeon's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show (and Ninja Turtles in general), but something you might not know is that I also love to cook! Though I've never had the motivation to start a cooking blog...
Now that I’ve beaten The Last of Us, what should I do with my life?
Am I proud of the fact I spent 20-some hours playing The Last of Us since last Friday night? No. Am I proud of the fact I consumed approximately 14 Fig Newtons, 23 Diet Pepsis, an entire box of Special K popcorn chips, at least half a box of wine (yes, a box), and...
AEIOU & Sometimes Awesome Stuff in the Mail
Well, I guess that's one way to get me back in the swing of blogging... Send me cool surprise gifts in the mail and I'll have no choice but to write a thank-you post! That's what Dex of AEIOU and Sometimes Why did, anyway. Well played, Dex. It turned out to be an...
Why do toy makers think little girls are obsessed with poop?
That's my burning question for The League this week, which asks "why?" No, really, WHY? Profound, I know. I was willing to let this whole pooping pets thing slide when I thought there was only one of these dolls--specifically, the one with the glitter-pooping...
The “I’m Not Dead” Post
Jesus. Has it really been almost a month? Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead, kidnapped, or locked in the trunk of Paxton Holley's car. At least not anymore... Behind the scenes I've been on a bit of a roller coaster ride with work stuff but things are...
“Lemons make me smell so great!”
This isn't going to be much of a post, I just wanted to give more attention to a certain (now infamous?) sticker from my 80s sticker book I shared the other day: this weird, kind of disturbing sticker of an uncommonly intelligent fish laying on a dinner platter...
ShezCrafti on Nerd Lunch #82: Sitcoms of the 90s
Last week the crew from Nerd Lunch needed a last-minute fill-in spot for their show about 90s sitcoms, and I, having nothing better to do on any given night, obliged. Also I figure I'm not sitting on all this useless Roseanne and Full House knowledge for nothing....
My Sticker Book from the 1980s
My older sister and I didn't have much in common growing up, aside from having been pushed through the same vag and the few mortifying occasions our mom forced us to wear matching outfits. My sister, the prissy straight "A" student who was into clothes and make-up,...
Buy some rad stickers, why don’t ya?
As usual, I fail when it comes to promoting Cult Film Club, being over a week late in announcing that we have TOTALLY RAD STICKER PACKS for sale! I'm hoping the all caps will make up for my lackadaisicalness (it's a word, I checked) and put me back in the good...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I Can Hug!
Rabid TMNT fangirlism + childhood memories + tax refund =buying all four of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cuddle Pillows (or "Pillow Buddies", depending on which store you buy them from). There was really never any question that I would end up owning these,...
First Impressions: Johnny Depp does NOT want you to like him.
This week The League is all about first impressions. Though I'm certain this won't be a popular choice, my mind immediately went to a movie that has one of the best opening monologues in cinematic history: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVH_eYxQzFg My favorite...
