“Yeah - By the power of Grayskull, I have the power.”

My jeans have a giant hole in the left hip pocket that threatens to liberate my wallet. So today I spent 3 hours in a mall looking for a new pair. I went to every place in the mall that had guys’ jeans, tried on jeans in 4 different places, criss-crossed the mall three times, and at one point decided that if I ate something maybe I would be less troubled and frustrated and more likely to buy jeans. I did end up with a pair of jeans, and now all I have to do is find a place that would like to charge me less than 40 dollars for hemming them…
Also, Panda Express thinks that Orange Flavored Chicken is a Panda Express Original. That’s like me saying that I invented Grilled Cheese.
Teddy Ruxpin was by far my favorite toy when I was little, followed closely by the Chipmunks and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I had the guy that played tapes while his eyes and mouth moved, I watched the cartoon, and the best part was the live-action, people-in-costumes show/movie (I can’t remember which).
Now, they’re re-introducing Teddy Ruxpin and adding digital audio. Apparently they’ve got a big nostalgia market with parents, and people have 85% brand recall for Teddy Ruxpin, which sounds pretty crazy to me. But really, who doesn’t remember Teddy Ruxpin? Penny Arcade certainly does.
I wonder if the guy who did the Teddy Ruxpin voice will be back. And if the live-action show will have a second coming. Remember Grubby? And Newton Gimmick? And Tweeg. Tweeg was a badass.
Well, I’ve never actually tried it. But supposedly the finest coffee in San Francisco is at the Blue Bottle Coffee Company, whose line of eager coffee drinkers is the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning and look out the window. Too posh for its own good, I think.
