  Robert Englund Evolves

  I have followed this guy's career, all the way back to when he played the
  role of a skinny young lizard alien visitor in the TV series, "V".

  Today, Robert begins his transition into the "next phase", as most actors do:
  directing.  He starts shooting the film Killer Pad in late April, and you know
  any horror movie with this guy behind the lens is sure to be a bonafide
  thriller.  Thanks to Cinescape for the newsbyte.

  The Year B4

  
At this point in time one year ago, Star Wars fan Jeff Tweiten was about
  mid-way through his wait in line for Star Wars tickets, in front of the Pacific
  Science Center IMAX Theatre.  You may recall this guy, waiting 5 months in
  line to be the first at his local theatre in Seattle, WA, to see ROTS.

  His site is still up, and shares his experiences during the near half-year
  wait to see the last of the Star Wars films debut on the big screen.  Check it

  " 'Scuse Me, While I .... .... .... "

  This line will be immediately recognized by any classic rock fan, as one of the
  lines from Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze..  Today, they played this song on a local
  rock station, and after it played a listener called in-  She was an older woman,
  and told the DJ that she and her friend always thought the line said " 'Scuse me,
  while I kiss this guy..."

  
The DJ basically replied, "Uh, NO", and then made mention of the fact that
  
they'd actually been asked that before..  To go a step further, it is apparently
  such a common error that it gave birth to a site on the web specifically for
  misinterpreted song lyrics: www.kissthisguy.com.

  Upon hearing this, I had to check the site out for myself.  The amount

  500th Vader: 20 Clams???

 
 Today, I spotted the '500th Figure' Darth Vader in a KB Toys in DE, and after
  seeing the price tag, I know why..  The fig was priced at $19.99, and there
  were at least 4 of them there.

  My question is this-  Are there really that many collectors out there willing to
  pay 20 BUCKS for a figure that's been made more times than a Mickey Mouse
  toy?  Don't getta me wrongo, yes, I'm a collector; but I also have to draw the
  line somewhere..  My current collection is already chock full of Vader figures,
  molded in virtually every conceivable pose, with the exception of him leaning
  against a Death Star urinal, or out buying his groceries..

 
 My suggestion is this- if this is a "must have" for your collection, order it
  through Amazon and save 3 bucks.  At least then I'll know I helped someone
  along.

  Here's a little thing to make you go HMMMMM-  On a news story on NPR this
  morning, they made reference to the new Crustacean species that was recently
  discovered, which we mentioned last week.

  The reason the topic popped up on today's news was because scientists
  gave it a formal name today.  And while the new name was being discussed,
  they mentioned how some species have actually been named after recent
  celebrities..  One name that really shocked me was..... Harrison Ford.  Apparently,
  there was a species of spider named after him in 1993: Calponia Harrisonfordi.

  Anybody who's been collecting Star Wars stuff for more than a year knows
  that the original Death Star prop sleeps soundly in the home of Gus Lopez-  And
  the chances of that guy letting it go are about as prominent as me growing
  back my 80's mullet..

  So, if you're a Death Star junkie, and you WANT a collector item of the same
  significance, you can either:

1. wait till Gus goes out one day and bust in his place (NOT
recommended)
OR

2. bid on this auction on eBay                                       

  My money, and my (lack of) criminal record, are on numero dos..  Just be sure
  to drop us an email if you win it..

  Sweet. Free GOP CD...I love that band.
  
Coming from someone that grabbed handfuls of free AOL discs to use as frisbees,   coasters, target practice or whatever fit my malicious mood, this is even more
  of a reason to grab and trash stupid advertizing. But it is especially funny
  that it came from the same band that sang, "Let's Wiretap America".
  Go Big Brother!

  The Wampa Wace
  
In spirit of the Olympics and this site. I actually watched "Curling" this year.

  Here, just type 'Ooo Mao May dot Zang'...
  
I guess if you dont like what you see, just build your own Internet. I love the
  smell of packets in the morning.

  The last thing I want to do when I wake up, is think.
  
Good thing its baseball shaped, because it would get tossed across the room to
  its destruction.
