The Upside-Down

 Bunches of random-themed pictures with fun comments. It's like you're hanging out with Minty!

I just realized that Dairy Queen should do a promo for Stranger Things, since they promise to serve your Blizzard "Upside-Down". That's good synergy, right? They could even do candy letters like the lights on the wall. Another million-dollar idea from Minty!

My friend is looking at that card holder back there with Chip and Dale about to fight over this girl chipmunk. It's an odd sort of merchandise image, since it's kind of non-peaceful and unsettling. I guess it's good "art" at least, since it causes feelings and what-not.

Hmmm, I guess I'm a little behind on posting some of these pictures. Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May. Even knowing that, we usually forget each year. Not this year though!

Free Comics! They are basically the comic book equivalent to movie trailers. Just a little taste, and not even complete stories. But hey, free is free, so gimme!

Tomax and Xamot the Crimson Guard Commanders! G. I . Joe had some unique memorable characters. These twins had the thing where you would hit one and the other would go "ow!!" and they spoke different words of the same sentence like you were only taking to one guy. Like, simply being twins gave them superpowers hahaha.

I heard there was an interview with Patrick Stewart that suggested to him that today's youth might not know him as Captain Picard, but simply as "The Facepalm Guy" due to the meme'd image of him expressing the facepalm. That kind of thing ironically deserves the actual facepalm!

I saw this and thought... wow you can be a jerk to your dog? This seemed like a jerky thing to do, right? Just give them the treat! That dog doesn't know about puzzles.

Sometimes it's still a little shocking to see pop culture tie-ins with fashion things. I know it's a lot more common these days, but in the recent past it would be hard to imagine this type of thing existing.

Lego did a breif promo for Nestle Quick and there's the minifig for it! It was one of the first unique-sculpted head pieces that Lego does all the time now for other things. 

Another fun sidewalk board that points you to Delicious Cookies and No Cookies. Haha. Anybody else a fan of fun sidewalk chalk boards?

There's a new hardware store that opened near us. Check out the size of this wrench! Time to go take apart something with ridiculously large bolts on it. Who would need something this big? Building your own bridge or battleship or something?

18,000 Lumens! The package says 5,000 Lumens is equal to daylight, so this is 3 1/2 times as bright?! Crazy! Where's the don't-look-at-it warning? I'm curious to see how bright this is, but also a little scared it might be TOO BRIGHT and I'll just burst into flames or something.

"Predator" doesn't sound like the right name for a portable generator. What is this thing preying upon? It's probably noisy so... sneaking up is not going to happen.

Can I axe you something?

I didn't really know anything about how much power these solar panels really generate, and this package tells me 5 hours of sunlight would power a laptop for 9 hours. Camping with your laptop? Why not just stay on the couch if that's what you're going to do? Still, this is a cheeky thing to bring along if you are getting dragged into camping by someone.

$65 seems like a very reasonable price for one of these hand trucks. So next time you have to move somewhere, keep in mind how much trouble this thing could save you. Totally worth it!

They are selling interrogation torture devices? What, do you cram this in someone's mouth and... you'll tell us what we want to know...as it slowly pulls their jaw apart? Yikes!

Why do I find it cool to see merch of the rides at Disney World? I suppose it's because you'd normally find that kind of thing only at the actual theme park. To get excited about this, you'd already had to have gone to the park, yet here it is at a McDonald's.

A few nights after the nachos, we saw that we had a few leftover jalapenos and shredded cheese, so we thought we'd try just melting the cheese over the slices. And I gotta say... pretty good! No chips needed! It was so good, we got a picture to share.

The dark black ink on this paper straw looked perfectly safe. Oh, that's right, sarcasm doesn't translate well on The Internet. What I mean to say is, this surely won't poison me somehow. Haha... actually this was pretty durable for a paper straw, so whatever that ink was, it was sturdy. At a Wendy's, if you need to know that.

Electric Bus - Repowered by LIES! Soooo funny that a quick glance at their poorly-named company UES looks like the word LIES. How about they change the font on that? Make that "U" look more like a "U"? Who says fonts don't matter? That's a LIES.

My friend bought this giant truck on sale, just for the Fortnight figure that is an obvious "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski. Careful man, there's a beverage here! These figures are totally reminiscent of old G. I. Joe figures with similar size and pose-ability.

One morning, a wasp flew into the car and buzzed around inside for a while. I circled it so you can see. It was a funny few minutes of... what do you do?! After it flew close enough to the outside of the door, we slammed it closed and jumped in. And it proceeded to bounce off of the windows as we started the car, like it wanted back in! 

We went to a deli for lunch one day and there was a cork board advertising some free pets. It's tempting... But no, we really can't get any pets like this now. Maybe one day.

This Gangsta Kermit looks familiar. Did I already get a picture of this? Maybe I saw it while I was driving, and was not able to get a picture at the time. Anyway, it's funny, right?

They were throwing away these magnetic letter signs at work, so I made one up for myself. They were out of "N"s so I had to use a sideways "Z". Check out the 80's T-Rex, with its tail dragging on the ground.

My friend made it to Master Prestige level 300 recently. We don't play as much Call of Duty as we used to, but it's still fun to play when we can. It's neat that the game tracks all kinds of stats, like the slightly-above-average kill/death ratio but way better win/loss ratio. More fun math with the total time played stat: since the game came out on November 3rd, 2017. That's an average of 17.3 minutes, or 1.8 matches... every single day, and about 42 kills. Which is about 23 kills per match! That seems a little high, but... math! We play mainly Hardcore Domination mode, if you needed to know that for the stats.
