Yeah, we get out of work early today. They’re shutting the place down just in enough time for me to go pick up my boy from kindergarten and take him to Toys-R-Us.
I am the best dad EVER.
Since I’m under a time crunch (and I’m simultaneously distracted by both the start of college football season and how much ass my Fantasy Football team is going to kick), I’m just going to post a few interesting things that I’ve recently stumbled upon…
Limited Edition Elvis Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with Banana Creme
When I was a kid, my favorite Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavors were chocolate fudge and banana. And, when I worked at Hersheypark, one of my favorite snacks were the frozen bananas dipped in chocolate and covered in peanuts. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I am literally willing to kill kittens with my bare hands just to get a hold of one of these delicacies.
The swankiest living room EVER.
I am an admirer of the Venture Brothers cartoon on Adult Swim. I want to have its babies. This is just one background painting for the upcoming season. You can see more here.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Yeah…that’s pretty fucking cool. You play this game as Darth Vader’s apprentice. And, from the looks of the action, you will be ruining some poor stormtrooper’s day. Repeatedly. Supposedly comes out Spring 2008.
So I tried one of these monstrosities — despite being a health nut, my morbid curiosity won out.* I expected something either really delicious or really disgusting, and I was kind of disappointed that my expectations fell somewhere in the middle. There was a lot less “banana creme” in mine compared to the image above, and I couldn’t really taste the banana because it had so much peanut butter in it. So really, the only thing that was maybe disgusting about it was the excess of weird crumbley Reeses Cup PB. (Which I’m generally not a fan of.)
*I would also like to add Reeses/Hershey owes you a portion of the 99 cents I paid for this thing, because I never would have noticed the display at Wawa had it not been for this blog.
