Yo Ho Pictures

More pictures, more fun comments. Can you believe some of this stuff?

Disney has toned down the Pirates of the Carribean ride, but apparently not the naming of the merchandise, yo ho! How is it that the word "whore" is spelled with a silent "w" but the abbreviation is not? Shouldn't it be "who" instead of "ho"? Hahaha yeah I know it's usually spelled "Hoe", so "Whoe" would be more accurate. Which is slightly less, but almost as silly.

There's been a few My Little Pony merchandise, from the beginning of the Friendship is Magic show, that called this character Derpy Hooves, due to her silly cross-eyed look. But "Derpy" was found out to be an insult to people with intellectual disabilities, and they quickly changed the character's merchandise to either leave the name blank, or show a muffin icon, which has been associated with the character since she'd been seen chomping a muffin (like this figure is doing.) So I was a little surprised to see a new merchandise use the name Derpy on it. Whew, that was a long explanation. In any case, the name was never meant to be an insult, and she's got a lot of fans, so maybe she's okay with being called Derpy now.

Which Sailor Scouts are these? Did we get more planets somewhere? I know they are probably villains or something, it's just odd seeing different characters when almost all of the Sailor Moon merchandise is only the main few characters.

Got a laugh out of this Countdown to Cat Lady set. They forgot the word "crazy" in there. I might know a couple of people that are close to this. One of them would be like "only 11 cats?" Not kidding. They're not reading this anyway. Hahaha you got a lot of cats! 

I usually like the P.Lushes Pet designs, they are typically artistic and cute. But this thing is a nightmare! Mouths all over it! AHHHH!!! Gimme a kiss... Mwa-mwa-mwa-mwa-mwa.... Ahhhhh! Run away!

Most Lego and Mario fans are furious that they have been doing sets based off of the Mario video games for YEARS yet they have not yet made actual Lego minifigures out of the characters YET. They snuck Peach into this farmer set, gave her some glasses, a new hair do, and some farmer clothes. It's like the Clark Kent of minifigures! Is that really Peach? What are you waiting for, Mario? Go save her!

This picture is from a while ago, but I finally finished off the "handfulls" of Chandrilla Star Line cookies we took home from our Galactic Starcruiser trip. Hey, they told us to take handfulls. The small package has info on the back, should we try contacting them to see if we can get more? There is a catchphrase of "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies!" So maybe those Dark Side people can get us more. Maybe I should remind everybody that these were very good cookies, and we'd want more if we could.

Yeeeesh! Sorry for the horrible picture! This is Castiel from the show Supernatural, on the other show Gotham Knights as the Batman villain Two-Face. He spent all season looking like a regular guy but finally he got half his face messed-up, and the evil coin and all. It was nice seeing a favorite actor in a new role, and he was a highlight of the show, but I think it's been cancelled already so you'll not get a chance to see more of this. I would have liked to see more.

Can I use an "inside joke" on the blog? I feel like I need to explain now. My friend was busted when he said "That's awful (pause) just awful" more than a few times, and then got teased about it whenever there was something... awful (just awful! hahah!) So I saw this and laughed as I thought: This guy's name is Clawful... just Clawful. Hmmm... I feel like explaining it makes it not as funny. Nevermind, this whole picture comment has turned out awful. Just awful.

One day I went to the mall, and while walking in, noticed this kids hoodie on this pole. After getting lunch and wandering around the mall for a while, upon exiting, it was still there! Nobody wants a free hoodie? Is this some kind of trap?

Bored with usual dinners, we tried to make some nachos using pepperoni slices instead of chips. It's not a crust-less pizza with no sauce and jalapenos topping. It's nachos with meat instead of chips.

This looks more like it. I gotta say, pretty good. before we melted the shredded cheese on top, we toasted the pepperoni slices, and pressed them in paper towels, to get the grease off of them. Which probably made them crisp-ier than they normally would have been. I forgot which type of cheese we used but I think it was a Mexican blend of some kind.

Don't like your princess? Erase her! How? Duh, use one of these. It says it's for erasing princesses, right there on the package.

How's this for a little tiny bit of mind-blowing? A few weeks after we go on a personal Star Wars adventure, where we see Yoda space-technology-projected above the Jedi Holocron we all used The Force to open, here we see the same technology used in that illusion. On a kid's toy. This was a hard picture to get, as the "trick" involves projecting the image onto a moving fan, so it appears to be hovering in the air.

As an adult, can I buy a full-sized Target shopping cart? If your kid wants this, at some point you have to think: Dang, I guess we do shop at Target too much.

This is just a plain funny picture. Don't bother that poor woman, she's got a headache! Also... compression? How would that help? Wouldn't it just make it worse?

Another picture from a while ago. When a friend called and discussed wanting to see the Barbie movie, I asked if he had a pink shirt to wear. You didn't have to wear a pink shirt to see the Barbie movie, but wouldn't it be a lot more fun if you did wear one?

At the closing of the Bed Bath & Beyond store, I saw all these ladders and got some fun memory flashbacks to the wrestling matches where they would climb up and jump off of them. Let's hang a Money-In-The-Bank briefcase up there!

Clone Captain Howzer did a bunch of stuff but basically was manipulated into making an honorable choice rather than follow his direct orders, thus exposing the Clone Troopers as untrustworthy soldiers. And that's why we get bad-aiming Stormtroopers. I'm not sure what the point of honorable Tusken Raiders was, but this is the guy that saved Boba Fett after he crawled out of the Sarlacc, for whatever that's worth. See? They are still making Star Wars figures out of background(ish) characters.

Do you think they made a LittlePeople set of the Oppenheimer characters? They should have made a full combo set for the whole Barbenheimer event-thing, right?

If you were wondering if Snoop Cereal has anything to do with the celebrity Snoop Dogg, I can tell you... it sure does! Can't you tell by the dog mascots? This almost looks like some kind of comedy parody merchandise you'd see in a movie, but it's real!

A few weeks after the single Magic The Gathering "One Ring" card was confirmed to have been found, we see more of these Collector Booster packs in the store. It still "rings" up in the scanner at the outrageous high price of $42 per pack! The whole point was that there was one single card printed for the Lord of The Rings set that could only be found in one of these packs. Why would you even want this knowing that the card has already been found? You could buy so many regular packs for that price.

Anybody remember this movie quote? Anybody? Yeah, it seems too much like they tried really hard to create a quote that would be "iconic" and everybody would say it all the time. Movies, right? You never know where the next "GET TO THE CHOPPAH!" will come from. If you don't remember, this is from Avengers Endgame, from Iron Man's daughter. I found this tag on the ground next to the mailboxes and put it on top here. Where it's stayed. For months. It's still there, when I posted this picture to the blog. Will nobody love this tag 3000?

Way to go, Mike's Hot Honey. It's a little uplifting that the flavor has not been stolen from Mike somehow, and turned into some kind of generic hot-honey flavor. I've seen it on a lot of things, and each time it says the specific Mike's Hot Honey. Whatever magic they are using, keep it up. It's a great flavor.

Bonus cool-points to the game designer who named these figure sets. We all know Obi Wan's "Hello There" catchphrase, but Twice the Pride is also very clever for Count Dooku. 

Is that really a Squishmallow Cthulhu? Do we know any other anthropomorphic dragons with octopus heads? It's cute, but maybe don't give this cosmic horror to your kids, just in case.

What is with that expression?! Hey baby, wanna see my Glow Worm? Awwwwww yeah, you do.

Hmm... Cracker "Jill" gets multiple different Jills representing many diverse girls. Cracker Jack is just the one guy they've had since 1896. Yes: 1896. Should they have made just one Cracker Jill? Not to be coy, but why is the puppy the same? Should they have diverse puppies, too? Ah, I'm just being silly now.

Um.... Lego? What are you doing with a green... um, what is that? Giant Lego sculpture in the store?

Ah, looks like it's some kind of... blob... creature. It looked odd from behind. This is much more clear. I think.

I know, this is very crude humor. But you can't help but think it's funny that those girl puppets WANT Pinocchio to lie to them. A bunch. More. Tell us more lies, Pinocchio.

These are not "official" "Disney Pins" even though they are officially "Disney" pins. Does that even make any sense? I still like the Chip and Dale pins, would it matter if they are officially one thing or another?

Jotaro Kujo, also known as Jo Jo. Is this energy drink so good, it lets you freeze time? It's only like, 5 seconds, but you can do a lot in 5 seconds.

I'm sorry to say I don't know who Beth Phoenix is in the WWE, but I found a chase POP! Figure. These look like totally different people. Is that the point? Maybe I should look this up.

I hate to be "That Pony" but why do they spell out the whole name "Eleven" for one character an this guy gets numbers? We all know it's easier to use "001" but they still call this character Zero Zero One in the show. It's just not consistent. Does that kind of thing bother anybody else? Or am I being silly?

I had to get the new Scrap-Iron figure since he was a childhood favorite. Back in the 80's, he was in a regular-figure package, but he came with a giant missile launcher, so it was like a bonus huge accessory. The new one is in a much larger package and cost a whole lot more than a regular figure would, so that kind of ruins the special-ness of the guy, but still, it's an upgrade of the launcher to a remote-controlled drone thing, so that ups the coolness back.
