M'ask you somethin'

Another batch of pictures from shopping adventures. And stuff.

This is the time right before these masks disappear, probably just as quickly as they started appearing. Do you remember? Last year it was a struggle to find masks at all... and then BAM! Masks of all colors everywhere! If you want some, for whatever reason, get 'em while you can.


Nightmare-Eyes frog for you. Will certainly keep your garden safe.


This deer-in-the-headlights with a crown was curious enough to get a picture of. That's good "art" because you look at it and can think all different things.

This thermometer floats in a pool, right? Looks like it's part of SpongeBob's Dungeons & Dragons battle kit.


This Figpin of Grogu is done in a black-and-white style, but it makes his robes black; which looks like the poor child has gone to The Dark Side. He'll be taking the control knobs, now. All of them!


Hot Wheels-sized version of the Masters of The Universe Battle Ram! Since the He-Man figures and vehicles were typically larger than the other 80's figures, like G.I. Joe and Star Wars, these smaller versions look super smaller than they should.


This is some very clever use of the same toy in slightly different packaging. It's common for toy companies to re-color something and re-label it as a different toy, to save costs; but here specifically this is the exact same speeder bike at two different points in the same episode! If you remember, that's the Biker Scout that punched the sack Grogu was captured in. He became a sort of funny break-out background character because he was also trying to shoot a tin can and totally missed it a bunch.


Stewart's! Funny how I took this picture and did not include the root beer. Like, it's not called Stewart's Hot Dogs and Waffle Fries. But... maybe it should. Because it's sooo good!


Fun with math! This cup says Stewart's Root Beer started in 1924, over 85 years ago! Which puts that number to 2009. So... they've been using the same cups for about 12 years! Time to print some new cups? Did they really stock up on 12 years-worth of cups when these were printed?


Candy flavored lip balm. While that sounds like a neat idea, it also sounds like excruciating torture; tasting peeps constantly without actually eating any! Would this drive you insane?


I might have taken a picture of this Tweety car before? My friend was just pondering why painted-up car patterns were not yet "a thing" people commonly do. What's with the bland solid greys and what-not. Is that a Wolverine POP! Figure on the dashboard? I 'taught I taw a putty-tat! Close enough?


Elsa with a dubiously-placed "Try Me!" button. She actually, not kidding, gave out like a giggle-sigh when my friend pressed it, and he felt like he was a really big creep immediately. I mean, Elsa is old enough, and she was asking for it, kinda. But yikes, it was unexpected.


How boring is your life that you consider the loss of your favorite lunch spot a huge disaster? We just went to this KFC less than a week ago, and without warning... GONE! A few years ago, the Taco Bell across the street closed down, but was quickly re-built anew. I hope the same thing happens to this KFC. The next-closest KFC to us is over a half-hour away!


ALL of these are awful! Horrible Father's Day gifts include a "Coupon Book" for things like... folded laundry?! A Beer holder for the SHOWER?!!! A trophy that says "Best Dad by Par" which I guess is supposed to mean "by far" except Par is just "okay" for Golf and not really "Best". And... good luck with the "Ring for Beer" bell. It's so terrible I don't even think I need to add anything else!


I think I found out why the Pokemon cards are nowhere to be found. Apparently some famous YouTube people did pack-opening videos, and everyone is jumping on the train to get packs and make similar "opening" videos. It's gotten so crazy that the riots outside stores have forced them to stop selling the packs all together! Pretty sure you can easily order packs online, why the craziness in stores?


Person-sized robot made in a cave with a box of scraps, piloted by an adorable kitten. How is Fortnite going to make a better character than this?


As we spend an un-eventful day walking around Princeton, my friend takes off his mask for a brief moment to smell the Honeysuckles. Which he says is the "best smell ever".


Fabric paint to fool your vampire friends with. Hey yo, I got your lunch blood bag right here! Hahahaha! fooled you! it was paint! Yeah that's going to play out well for you.


Is there something philosophical to the phrase "I was in the art store when I found Jesus was on clearance." Like maybe if you are looking for Jesus, but like, on sale, just go to the art store.


Stopped at this light, looked over and saw some science goggles on the road. That was some experiment that went horribly wrong!


Inuyasha change purse. In the anime, he had a beaded necklace that got super-heavy when the command phrase was spoken. It fit with his demon-dog theme, and was always funny in the show.


This oddity was called a "sunbed" and was $1,700! You going to spend that kind of money and put this outside?


New Star Wars figures from the new show, which look like they were made in the 1980's! This would be really cool if they did not have a premise-busting, non-peel-able, GIANT sticker pointing that out. My friend got the Moff Gideon and tried to get that sticker off, but it wasn't budging. it started to rip and was obviously going to be a huge mess. What's even the point of it with that sticker on there!?


Remember that part in Jurassic Park where they say all of the dinosaurs were made to be female? We laughed when we saw this extremely "female" dinosaur. Would you be scared if the T-Rex looked like this?


Our new jam is recording the Toon In With Me show in the morning and watching it when we eat diner. They show random awesome classic cartoons of all kinds, and this bit at the end of a Road Runner cartoon was so awesome we had to share.


After watching Wile E. Coyote get beat-up for several minutes, they gave him a small amount of pity and faded out during his fall. It was really funny that they did it, but it also made my friend go "Awwww!" Like, at what point do you see the Coyote fail so much that you start... rooting for him? Hmm...
