Youtube Comment

While watching a Youtube clip of Matt Damon dooing a Matthew McConaughey impression on Letterman, I ran across this comment. Best laugh of the day for me right here:

underrated? the guy has been in a ton of movies and gets paid millions to be in each one. If you want to talk about under rated why don't you go talk to Tim Medows
----------------------

I love that the poster digs Tim Meadows, cites the injustice that Tim Meadows still hasn't been recognized as a serious talent in Hollywood, and feels the need to bring his name up out of thin air in the conversation, yet can't spell Meadows' surname correctly. Really, have Matt Damon and Tim Meadows EVER in the history of time been compared to each other? Tubepotatoes1, I salute you for your bravery and keen acumen!

Toy Thoughts

These dolls frighten me. Especially when they have fully functional working parts. I see dolls like these in toy stores now and I can't help but think of that creepy Soderbergh film, Bubble, set in a souther doll factory. The trailer for that film was disturbing.

These dolls, and all the ridiculous care they require, remind me of that insipid Tamagotchi mini- craze back in the late 90s. What on earth were we thinking? I guess the tomigatchi could keep us company while we waited in line overnight for a Furby. Anyone seen or heard of those things lately? I gotta admit, I was shocked hasbro still had a website up and running for those guys. I've still never seen one in person or met someone who had one or even knew of someone having one.

Just give me a plain old battery/computer chip-free Gizmo and I'll be happy. Though, much like an electronic Furby, I can't let Gizmo get wet, either. Oh well, guess I'll have to swim those laps today all by my lonesome. Gizmo can look on pool-side, he's my life coach.
