And so Happy Christmas

Before the Civee and I pack up to go to Cincinnati for the second time in two days (but this time we’re staying for more than a few hours), I’d just like to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas.

Whether you’re a friend of the King, or here looking for pictures of Gob riding a segway, Graeme Lloyd, my foot in a cast, Tito Santana, or Jean Smart’s cleavage, I hope you all get what you want. (If you’re in the picture group, you’re in luck. Except for you Jean Smart people. I can’t help you.)

As for me, I’m rather content this Christmas. I can’t really think of anything I want, and for the most part, I’m just enjoying what I have. Maybe that means I’m growing up.

And if that’s the case, this blog might be a bit less fun in aught-seven.

Just kidding.

The megapowers collide

So the new trailer is out for Transformers The Movie (volume 2).

This is something that I was very skeptical about when they first announced it. The news that the actor who voiced Optimus Prime for the cartoon would also be Prime in the movie made me warm to the movie a bit.

The trailer is pretty good. It’s definitely moody. But the best thing about the trailer is seeing that Glenn Morshower, the guy who plays Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce on 24 will appear in the movie.

First he teamed up with Jack Bauer.

Now, he may team up with Optimus Prime.

That’s a better combination than peanut butter and jelly. Or pie and ice cream.

It’s not over until George pins Frank

It feels like I always remember (or are reminded) of this at the last minute…but I want to wish everyone out there a Happy Festivus.

The wonderful think about having a blog is that I don’t have to wait until this time of the year to air my grievances- it’s something I get to do year-round.

Actual Items

So I was looking through some catalog for no reason what so ever, and this caught my eye:

I give you the Turkey Cannon.

If I hadn’t seen this in a printed catalog, I would have thought it was one of those Actual Items from Conan’s show.

Yet it’s real. Some company expects people to pay nearly 30 dollars for some wiring and a part of a car’s tailpipe (with built-in handles, possibly a safety feature). In return, they get to make their birds explode with flavor.

I wonder if the result of a shot from the Turkey Cannon is anything like a Ham Explosion.
