Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Semi-Finals Round One

Today is the first round of the semi-finals. In the last battle Tony the Tiger basically mauled Cap'n Crunch and made him eat his own hat. After the match Cap'n Crunch was rushed to the hospital but it was too late, they couldn't save his hat.

In today's match we have Snap, Crackle & Pop versus Toucan Sam. As per the rules in the first battle the Rice Krispies boys can only fight one at a time and tag out when they want to, there will be no ganging up on Toucan Sam. Since I already interviewed both of these characters, I wanted to get the opinions of some fellow co-workers. Before the fight I interview the Janitor and Camera Man #3.

VS

PTM: How do you feel about today's combatants?
Janitor: Those dweebs? I’ve seen more roughhousing at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Rehearsals.

PTM: What do you use to clean up blood after the match?

Janitor: It’s this cool trick my mama taught me called the Sponge Bob Band-aid.

PTM: In your professional opinion, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Janitor: That’s a hard one. Let me see (takes calculator out of his shirt pocket and begins punching in numbers..scratches forehead..scratches forehead again..). 3!

PTM: On a cold winter night, do you prefer the taste of Rice Krispies or Froot Loops?

Janitor: Hell, if I’m gonna eat that **** at all, it ain’t gonna happen on a cold winter night. I’m just sayin’.

PTM: Camera Man #3 has been talking smack about you for the past week. How do you feel about that?

Janitor: Man, that dude’s lens is so small. He’s just jealous of my equipment – if you know what I mean.

PTM: One last question, Can you shampoo the couch that's in my office? RawknRobyn and Camera Man #2 left some stains on it last night.

Janitor: RawknRobyn? Dang, she acts all sweet and innocent. No wonder they call her “Rawkn” (said with an elbow nudge). Don’t worry about the stains, man. I’ll just pour red wine onto it, and you won’t see them anymore. It’s a little trick I learned while working at the White House in the 90’s.

PTM: Is it true that you have a gold statue of Toucan Sam in your house?

Camera Man #3: Yeah, in the corner of my bedroom. His nose is so long, he’s my idol!

PTM: Does it bother you that RawknRobyn is fooling around with Camera Man #2?

Camera Man #3: Nah, the only thing that bothers me about her (‘cuz she’s pretty damn near perfect, actually) is that she writes all this crap about celibacy on her blog, like she’s some hoity toity expert on the matter. I’m telling you, that little hot number doesn’t know the first thing about celibacy.

PTM: Did you vote for Obama?

Camera Man #3: Who’s that?

PTM: Why do you have a problem with the janitor?

Camera Man #3: One night when I was putting my equipment away, he walked by pointing and laughing at my lens, saying he never saw one so small. It really hurt my feelings. You know? Gotta tissue?

PTM: Have you always wanted to be a camera man since you were a little kid?

Camera Man #3: Nah, I just always wanted a bigger lens. I thought I might get one this way.

PTM: Okay, final question. What do you think of these shoes? I stole them out of Cap'n Crunch's locker last week.

Camera Man #3: Dude, those are some big, long shoes. I’m impressed (said while giving PTM a high-five).

I want to thank RawknRobyn from Life by Chocolate for playing the Janitor and Camera Man #3. If you don't follow her blog already then there is something wrong with you. Now the most important part, it's time to vote. And you are not voting for the Janitor or Camera Man #3, don't forget the battle is between Snap, Crackle & Pop and Toucan Sam. Polls close on Sunday at 11:57pm. The next round will commence next Tuesday. Come back tomorrow for Passionofthemom's Movie Game Guest Post.

Hodgepodge of Things: The Movie Game Winner & Monday Minute

I want to congratulate Janet Gonzalez, aka Passionofthemom from Something to Talk About for winning this series of The Movie Game. She pretty much got every question right. She has the memory of an elephant and probably watches movies in her sleep. I hate to admit it but I think she knows more about movies than I do. I am ashamed to call myself a movie buff. Her prize for being awesome is she gets to guest post a movie game of her own on Wednesday. Now I know a lot of you don't participate in the movie game but you should still come by on Wednesday and show her some comment love. If you don't I will hunt you down and make you eat a whole bottle of cinnamon.

I am putting the movie game on temporary hiatus for right now. It was a lot of fun to do but my brain is fried from thinking up questions. Also not enough people play it right now. What's up with that people? Go watch some movies, dammit!!

Here are last week's answers and the final movie game standings.

Who was your high school Sweet Heart?

Betty White. She used to be a lunch lady at my school. She is a wild woman. Alas, it only lasted 2 months. She fell in love with the janitor.

What is your favorite vegetable to eat?

The Jolly Green Giant once touched me inappropriately and I haven't been able to eat a piece of broccoli since.

Do you plan on dressing up for Halloween, if yes, what do you have in mind?

Since I dress up every day as Powdered Toast Man, I do things backwards on Halloween and walk around in my birthday suit.

Are you a reality show junkie? If so, what is your guilty pleasure?

Reality shows are weak. Try doing 3 hits of X and watch your cat and dog put on a rendition of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. That shit is reality for you.

and finally

What year did you graduate high school?

I never went to school. My mom taught me every subject while I was in the womb. I came out knowing calculus and Einstein's theory of relativity.

Make sure you stop by tomorrow for the first semi-final round of the Cereal Mascot Battle. I have a special guest helping out.

I was also featured as the Saturday Supahstah on Mother of Pearl it is. Go check out my kick-ass interview HERE

Fun For the Whole Family

Has anyone ever played the board game Mad Gab? It's a simple word game that is a lot of fun. It's not about what you say, it's about what you hear. For example read the following phrase aloud: Law Sand Jealous. Sometimes you have to say it fast to "hear" it. Did you hear Los Angeles? Here is another one: Apparel Owe Furs. Did you hear A Pair of Loafers? Now it only works if you say the words out loud. You won't hear the actual answer if you try and say it in your head.

This game is fun with a lot of people. Laughing hysterically always ensues. So for some simple fun I thought I would put some words/phrases from the game on here and you try to guess them.

There are no points involved, just some laughs. Under each set of words is the answer, just right click with your mouse and highlight.

Q: Us Cooled Each Her
A: A School Teacher

Q: Eggs Truck Itch Up
A: Extra Ketchup

Q: Europe Ray Fear Own
A: You're a Brave Hero

Q: Ease Bag Kin These Had Dull
A: He's back in the saddle

Q: Hit Snotty Fin Clothes
A: It's not even close

Q: Muff Heater Gold
A: My feet are cold

Q: Bat Chill Harp Hearty
A: Bachelor Party

Q: Hike Hen Sit Hen Year Rise
A: I can see it in your eyes

Q: Better Hoses
A: Bed of roses

Q: Ask Wig Cuss Awful Ash
A: As quick as a flash

Q: Sofa Kin We Tart It
A: So fucking retarded

So how did you do? It's a little tough at first but once you get going they will come to you right away. I hope some of you were playing this at the office and your coworkers were looking at you funny.

I Have a Surprise For You and It's Not a Toaster

I am sick and tired of receiving all of these awards. I am not that special. I am not that awesome. Please stop reading my blog, it's a waste of your time. You should..... "Hey pirate, what are you doing on my computer? How did you get in here again? Stop writing whatever you are typing!!"
"Haha, you will never catch me!!" (Pirate jumps through the window). "Dammit, I didn't get pirate coverage yet, that window is gonna have to come out of my giraffe fund, I will never be able to afford one now."

Sorry about that folks. I don't know how the pirate got in again. He somehow managed to get past the moat full of mutant tiger sharks (half tiger, half shark) and the clones of Mr. T. I have received a few awards over the past month that I finally need to recognize because if I don't who will? You? Probably not.








The first one is The EOD (end of days) award from Chuck over at Apocalypse Now. He made this award himself. I forget why I got the award. Probably because I bribed him with some pie and double stuf oreos. The other award is from The Invisible Seductress over at the blog of the same name (psst, it's called The Invisible Seductress). I got that fancy award for being a loyal slave...err blog follower and commenter. Thank you to both Chuck and Seductress for the lovely prizes. If you don't follow their blogs then you should hit yourself over the head with a big rock.

Now before I get on with the meat and potatoes (or broccoli and potatoes for our vegetarian bloggers) of this post I want to recognize muah for surpassing 400 posts!! You can't see me (or maybe you can, I don't know who is stalking me now) but I am doing a little jig in my computer chair. It kind of looks like I'm skiing without moving my legs, just my arms. I am sure it will be on youtube tomorrow.

Now that I received some awards, I want to give one out myself. For the first time I am giving out my own award. I didn't receive this particular award from anybody. I didn't actually make the award, I found it on google.




During the months of June and July I decided to keep track of who commented on my blog. I tallied them for about a month. To answer your question, yes I am a big dork with nothing better to do with my time. I received comments from over 60 different bloggers. Originally I was going to award the top 10 commenters but in honor of the ongoing dirty dozen posts, I am awarding the top 12. There aren't any rules attached to this award, just display it on your blog with some class. You can do a post about it if you feel like it, no obligation. So here are the winners in order of comments.

Blogger - Blog - # of Comments

Pat - Pat Tillett - 20
Alex - Alex J. Cavanaugh - 20
RawknRobyn - Life by Chocolate - 19
The Invisible Seductress - The Invisible Seductress - 17
Chuck - Apocalypse Now - 16
Passionofthemom - Something To Talk About - 12
Nippy the Penguin - Crazy Penguin Ramblings - 11
Baygirl32 - What's the Story Morning Glory? - 9
Marg - Finding Neverland - 8
Cheeseboy - The Blog O' Cheese - 8
Arlee bird - Tossing it Out - 8
T.S. - The Non-Review - 7

Thank you to all of you for all your awesome comments. Now if I see you slacking on comments over the next few weeks I will take that award back so fast it will give you award burn all over your hands. Click on any of the blogs to check them out. I dare you.

The Movie Game

This is the last round of the movie game. Better play while it's here.

RULES: I present you with two movies, for example: The Matrix and Miss Congeniality. The object of the game is to link them together to another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Speed using Keanu Reeves from The Matrix and Sandra Bullock from Miss Congeniality. Another example is: Link Top Gun & The Shining. The answer is A Few Good Men, using Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Get it?

Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. Try not to use the Internet. This is a game of memory and skill. I ONLY ACCEPT ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF AN EMAIL, DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, LET EVERYONE HAVE A FAIR CHANCE AT PLAYING. EMAIL ANSWERS TO reviewsyoucantuse@gmail.com. GOOD LUCK!!

Easy - Link: Secret Window & Blood Diamond (1 point)

Medium - Link: Man of the Year & Ella Enchanted ( 2 points)

Hard - Link:Boat Trip & Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (3 points)

Challenge - Link: Suspect & The Rainmaker & Miracle on 34th Street (1994) (5 points)

Here is the new addition to the game. It's sort of like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but instead of using Mr. Bacon I am going to give you 2 random actors/actresses and you have to find the quickest link using movies. For example: Will Smith to Al Pacino. The answer could be: Will Smith in Men in Black with Tommy Lee Jones who is in Batman Forever with Chris O'Donnell who is in Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. If you finding a quicker link than good for you. The less movies you use, the more points you get.

Link: Ray Romano to Eric Stoltz

Link: Tom Arnold to Penelope Cruz

Points are as follows:
In same movie together: 5 points
Using 2 movies: 4 points
3 movies: 3 points
4 movies: 2 points
