Bee Flips!

If you've ever noticed on the right hand side of this blog, there's a list of our "sister blogs," one of which is called "Bee Flips or Beef Lips." It was a one-joke blog that John Reid and I started way back in 2007 and never updated.

Well, for some reason, called it kismet or karma or coinkidink, I've been spotting a lot of bee flips lately. I sent all these to John, and he proposed that now would be the perfect time to finally update the blog.

I said no. So I'm posting these here on this blog.

Robo Morphers: Less Than Meets The Eye

As Christmas approaches, tons of blogs and TV shows roll out their annual gift ideas sections, suggesting solar-powered foot massagers or baseball-themed golf accessories and golf-themed baseball accessories. But what most of them ignore is that kids (especially boys) still want only one thing: Transformers.

Yes, undeterred by the failure of "Transformers 2: Rise Of The Fallen" and the underwhelming overwhelming of "Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon," scores of kids still want transforming robots in their lives.


And who can blame them? Shit is awesome. The idea of a truck transforming into a fighting biped robot is almost irresistible to most male brains (except Andy Dick).



But as I was perusing the aisles of K-Mart the other day, I happened upon a cheaper alternative to the famous Autobots:




Sad, right? I felt so bad for this Endcap of Misfit Toys, that I bought three of them to examine what made them special.





Here are some quick clips of what the toys sound like:







Wow, it almost sounds as if the toymakers were too cheap to record three different sounds and just applied the same one to all three.

And... here they come! Robo Morphers: Stay assembled!

I'm surprised he hasn't found proper "mangerment" yet. But how do I know this is an email from the real Ochosky Dibaocha and not some impostor looking to profit off his good name?

He's In My Life

Pictured below, my iPhoto "Faces" feature asks me to identify two people in my albums.



I know that guy on the left, at least.
