GUESS WHAT I SHOVED IN MY 40 YR. OLD BODY ON SATURDAY.

Give up? Don’t really care? On Saturday the wife and I journeyed from Manhattan Island to the Isle of Long Island City to see my buddy’s band ADRENALINE play. 

THEY ROCKED!!! That being said…

We had to brave the F train ON THE WEEKEND!

Walked late at night through a deserted creepy industrial park…

‘til we finally arrived at the german restaurant / metalmania bar – Wunderbar

Immediately I ordered a big German beer with a giant head (mommy bloggers get your heads out of the gutter). 

Then after perusing the menu I settled on the

wiener schnitzel ala Holstein – every bite was pure heaven!

SO WHAT IS IT?

Essentially it’s deep fried veal topped with a nice healthy fried egg – Calorie-riffic!

Add the beer and fried potatoes to the mix and that pretty much sums up my need for …

…early Sunday morning. Still worth it. Every bite of it.

JUST ‘CAUSE IT HAS A HOOK GROWING OUT OF ITS ASS DOESN’T MEAN IT AIN’T CUTE

MAN, PEOPLE REALLY DO HATE THE CRAP OUT OF SCRAPPY-DOO!

Scrappy-Doo was added to the Scooby-Doo cast in 1979.  Apparently the show was at a ratings low point. So the ABC suits thought a new character might draw in viewers. Surprisingly this “puppy power!” actually helped…at least back in the day. Though as we all know, Scrappy eventually became one of the most hated characters in Hanna-Barbera history. And sadly this rage has yet to die down. Check out these comments I found on the net.

WHO WANTS TO SEE AN HONEST-TO-GOD BLOGGER TOUCH THE INSIDE OF A URINAL?

Working super late again for the umpteenth time. Let’s get a collective, “Awwww, poor baby!”

Anyhow, while I was bored doing boring things I went to the men’s room. And since it was late and no one was around I…well, I’ll let you see for yourself.

Cold to the touch. Brrrr.

I gave you a wider shot just in case you thought I was lying.

BONUS SHOT: Me touching urinal water. YES, I washed my hands after. I think. It was late, so who knows. 

THE 90s CALLED, THEY WANT THEIR ONE EXTREMELY VALUABLE POG BACK.

What’s a pog you ask? It was an extremely shortlived kid craze in the 90s that basically involved collecting circular bottle type caps with graphics on ‘em. The first pogs came from Passionfruit Orange and Guava juice bottles. Hence the name.  Sadly the POG value hasn’t stood the test of time. Most sell for a scant .99¢ on ebay. That is of course except for one. HINT: It features a prominent icon of the 90s (NO, it’s not the pink Power Ranger). It’s a gold POG of MR. OJ SIMPSON!

Starting bid is $19, or you can buy this 90s ebay gem right now for $39.99.

SO I GUESS O.J. IS GUILTY...for making me want this collectible soooo bad!!!

I took a deep breath and prayed it wasn’t some e-virus du jour and clicked. What I witnessed, well again, I have yet to put into any coherent collection of words. I just know that I LOVE IT!!!! Oh, and I almost forgot – here’s the pic enclosed with the email.

So without further adieu here is GIBBYGOOBOP performing his soon-to be hit single – STRIFE ON MARS?

HEY KIDS OF MOMMY BLOGGERS! FOUND A NEW RUSSIAN ROULETTE TOY JUST FOR YOU.

Yes, I broke the story on balloon roulette back in June of 2010. 

I thought that case file was closed until I found this little shocker on Amazon.

Shocking Roulette Game

The rules are smidge different than the classic Bond shocking casino game scene in Never Say Never Again. 

This game begins with 4 players shoving their fingers in 4 slots. You press the start button and the real fun begins. 

The toy emits beeps, bleeps, screams and then caps off the macabre merriment by randomly shocking on lucky kid. That's pretty much it. The game only costs $17.99 and takes 3 AA batteries. In Amazon’s defense they do say it’s a game for 14 yr olds and up. No word if you can buy a warrantee for it. The game, not the kids. 

Still don't follow the toy concept? This video gem might shed a little light on the subject.
