Shiny New Pictures

 Wake up! Pictures are here. We have a work order to install pictures today, with fun comments.

Knock knock! Sorry to wake you up, but we need about 5 hours to install the new air conditioner unit you didn't ask for. Um... sure! Gimme 5 minutes to use the bathroom, as the utility closet is in the bathroom.

Shiny! There was nothing wrong with the old one. I suppose the apartment place got a bulk deal or something. Why replace it, if it isn't broke?

Bye, old air conditioner! Just so you know, you were really cool. Except in the Winter, when you were super hot. Those were good times.

So we spent the morning playing Animal Crossing and watching the Today Show. Pretty much the same as every morning! Ha-ha! Just kidding. We'd still be asleep.

The old one looked surprisingly clean. There was seriously no reason or need to change it. But what are you going to do? Not get a new one? The new one has got to be better, right?

This part looked kind of worn down. That edge looks like... brass knuckles? Just keep your cool, and nobody has to get hurt.

Here's the new hotness. Slightly smaller. But it turns out, it's twice as noisy. I don't remember how loud the old one was, but I don't remember having to turn the TV up to hear it, whenever it ran, like I do now. So... not really an upgrade. Play the loser tune from The Price is Right... [Bum-Bum BahBummm... whaaaaaaahhhhhhhh] Is there an "un-do" button?

For some reason, they gave me a new vent cover. Part of the package, I guess. That also did not need replacing.

And... they didn't exactly replace it. They took the old one, and put it on the other side? Now, we have a perfectly inaccessible critter sanctuary hiding spot. Screwed into the wall. So if anything wiggles in there, it's totally safe! Bonus!

Back to some more-fun types of pics. Hey, do these fruit snacks look like dinosaurs, or dragons? Who knows? Just put both of them on the box!

Super Bowl Licks! They spelled Licks with an X. LIX. Remember how the Cheifs were going for an un-precidented three wins in a row? And the game was a complete blow-out? They should put that on the t-shirt.

Another fun story, that needed me to take pictures before this, but I'll catch you up. We went to the Walmart which is remodeling, the store is kind of a wreck as they move the sections around. Causing them to randomly clearance stuff. There was a laptop that was priced at $54! When we went to buy it, the manager guy said it was locked into the display, and they had to wait for a guy to come and free it, apparently the maintenance guy didn't have the fancy star screwdrivers (? yeah that's what I thought) and they needed another guy. Well... Walmart sells those screwdrivers... duh!

It's free! Okay, not "free" but like, free from the lockdown. Check it out! $54! The manager guy was not too happy. But he did mumble "If we could get it out of the display, I'd totally sell it to you!" During the initial conversation, and the other employee was there when he said it.

It was the store display model, so a little bit of a "gross" factor, it's a "Chromebook" so it uses Chrome operating system that only runs Chrome things, so it's more of a fancy Tablet than an actual Laptop, and the screen is smaller than what we would have preferred... but hey, $54! That's a total win that nobody is seriously going to complain about. Just so you know, we did look up how to give it a complete reset, in case there was some messy program stuff installed for the display.

Whew! That's a lot of words for this bunch of pictures. Here's a simple one, I got SIX McNuggets in my $5 McValue Deal! Score! Like a $54 Chromebook wasn't good enough? Two free McNuggies!

Time Travel! I wonder, at what point can we start bringing our own movies to the theaters? Any old movies you want them to re-run on the big screen?

"You want me? Come and get me!" Is the quote from every commercial for Captain America: Brave New World. Funny that the computer busted and there's no preview picture here. The movie was pretty good, but it would have been a lot better if the commercials did not spoil the big surprise. The ironic "surprise" is that the movie title wasn't really Captain America vs The Red Hulk, as much as the promos for the movie spoiled that.

Spotted in the clearance section, were these hiding in the back? You'll remember they pulled the Wicked movie dolls from the shelves, because the back of them said the wrong website, the one on the box actually goes to a not-safe-for-work (or kids!) site!

Whoooop! Here's our Chromebook in a different Walmart! $300! Hey, if they need me to get this out of the display, I have some experience with that.

But... I brought the pizza to game night! Don't vote me out!

One of those cards was the Superbowl MVP. It was not Patrick Mahomes this year. Maybe luck, maybe not, but it's neat that Jalen Hurts made the display board for the NFL Uno Football edition.

I scored a picture of the chase figure! Okay, I didn't buy it. But I sure did get the picture!

I'm not really a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, but you gotta admit the character designs are recognizable. This thing was adorable.

There ARE Looney Tunes episodes with Marvin the Martian and Bugs Bunny, but I feel like this should be Duck Dodgers instead. Right?

Fisher-Price LittlePeople "Collectors" is a little confusing, made for babies but of grown-up stuff. Multiplied by this Chucky movie which itself uses the premise of childish things but for grown-up horror stuff.

My friend got a laugh out of the thought of picking up a chick in the clearance section of Walmart. Surprise Chick! Find the limited-edition Golden Chick!

Punk rock Peeps were funny. That's all.

Happy Hogan! Do you think directors like Jon Favreau put themselves in movies to get action figures of themselves? To be fair, he did not direct Iron Man 3 that the box here shows, but he did direct the first Iron man movie, that he was in, as this character.

Poor Ultra Magnus. Transformers tried to upgrade the Autobot leader to this new guy but the fans rejected the idea and they had to bring Optimus Prime back. Here's the Hot Wheels of him!

LMAO it's a Hot Wheels based on a toilet, which is advertising some kind of hot sauce! Hilarious. It burns going in, and burns going out. Was that too much? Ouch.

Isn't chocolate by nature plant-based? Is this a trick?

Another trick? Aren't Jolly Ranchers 100% Sugar? How can they be zero sugar? Is this an empty bag?
