Piping Hot Pics

Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been a little distracted recently. Not an excuse, just dropping some honesty. Thanks again for checking back though. I hope you enjoy the pictures and fun comments for 'em.

Wake up! We got some Hot Wheels coffee. Tiny regular cars are plenty cool, but wacky cars are fun to see, too. I always find it funny when colors are used to imply connections. The dark green and brown colors are clearly meant to be Starbucks, no need to have it actually say the name.

So I finally tried to make my own Panera Bread Breadbowl, to see if the home-made version would be as good. It was much less cost, for sure. I remember I used to get the broccoli & cheese soup, but I've also gotten it with Mac & Cheese, too.

When I bought it, it didn't seem like it, but this sour dough sphere was huge! It was easy enough to carve out a circle and pull the middle part out to make a bowl with it.

Did I need a picture to show I microwave-zapped the soup? You don't cook the soup inside the bread bowl. You pour it in hot.

Ah-Maze-Ing. The soup was tasty, the bread was tasty, and the combo was just as tasty. This was a lot. I could barely eat the whole thing. When I was done it felt like I ate a whole pizza. It was that much.

Shirley Temple! Is this some kind of history lesson? She was a popular actress in lots of great movies, and had a fine career in acting. But you need to get that drink named after you! That's where the longevity goes.

Hahahahaha! Yowza! The Geico Gecko is posing in an art studio in this commercial. And even though it's obvious by the fact that he almost never wears clothing, this does imply that he's "naked" for the art class.

I should have bought this for a friend of mine, who gets frustrated with video games and has an urge to crush the controller. Squish away your rage!

Um... I've never had Cheez-Its in a shake before. Is that a thing? Why else would this box have a shake with a Cheez-It in it?

Cranky Kong! Do you think he'd be happy with having an action figure of himself? Action figures are old-school playing.

An excuse to plug this show I like, Spy Family. The description on the back has [redacted] black squares covering sensitive info. Get it? Because the show has spying in it.

What? Official water? That sounds like a silly thing to say. Isn't all water officially water?

Nobody knows what it means, but I saw these and laughed. Six-Seveeeeen!

Cool! It's the car from Jurassic Park! Like, the actual car! Now that's what you call a valuable collectible. Screw the tiny Hot Wheel version. What do you mean, "look behind you"?

Neat piece in the pick-a-brick wall at The Lego Store. It's cool imagining what you could build with a bunch of these. Obviously some kind of space castle.

I don't think DJ Pon-3 ever got any speaking lines, did she? She was a fun background character in the show. Popular enough to get a cool jacket merch all these years later.

Neopets! They have the same kind of problem as Pokemon, where there's too many different types to cover any sort of figure spread. Mostly Neopets are the same with different colors, so it's not as bad. But there are a lot more neat variants of each one, too.

I found this old Xmas pic, and just wanted to say "Vixen" is a cool name. If you don't remember, it's the name of a female fox. Not sure how that came about, but it sounds cool.

Hmmm.... This is some kind of lesson here. You can have this perfectly fine print of the Mona Lisa hanging in your house. How is this different than if you had the real one? We all know it is, but is it?

I saw this promo banner with Ariel and Moana hanging out, and it was cute! They would be best buddies, with Moana having water magic and all. It makes so much sense!

The nearby 2nd-hand Lego shop had a gift-with-purchase exclusive set, I think you had to buy like $200 worth of sets to get this for "free" (heh). It has three of the same figures but it's okay they are supposed to be the same clones.

Look again, that's Hologram Janeway. From the Star Trek: Prodigy series. It might be a recent series, and it's a cartoon, but it's also a direct sequel to Star Trek: Voyager, once you get a bunch of episodes into it. Hallmark always has the best Star Trek merch. Check out Guinan doing the hissing-claw gesture at Q!

The Thunderbolts* movie was perfectly fine. I liked it. Everybody quotes Red Guardian yelling "that's what I talk about!" in his Russian accent. Yelena Belova is oddly lacking a super hero name, but is otherwise very charismatic. People should still be on board with the Marvel stuff, why not?

Did I post a picture of Iyo Sky yet? She's one of the fun modern wrestlers to watch. Stacy Keibler did upgrade to actual wrestling herself, but she started off as a ref-distracting agent Miss Hancock.

I know a lot of cat fans, but do they cook a lot of eggs? Meowch!

I think I took this picture to notice how Funko POP! Figures can cover totally separate things and feel like they go together. Like the Headless Horseman and Sabrina Carpenter. You might need to keep them in the packages to tell what they are, you think?

I got a new Lego set, and it had the paper bags! For a long time Lego claimed they were switching to less-plastic, and I finally see they did it. I mean they still use a lot of plastic in the actual set, but you're not throwing that away like the now-paper bags.

Awww! Look how adorable the cosmic terror is! And that cactus! Are they trying to be cute with things that are typically non-squish-able?
