Masters of the Universe – STINKOR

January 30, 2012

Years ago, when Stinkor first hit shelves, kids everywhere held dear an action figure whose primary feature was right in the name. This guy smelled awful. In fact, he smelled so awful that he was featured on Cracked’s list of the 26 Worst Action Figures from Iconic Toy Lines. And yet, some couldn’t resist the allure of a figure that had more than karate-chop action or extra weaponry.

So he’s back.

Wearing a mask that suggests even he can’t handle his own odors, Stinkor joins the newest line of Masters of the Universe figures. If your home’s scent needs a certain je ne sais quoi, then pre-order now! This guy ships out in May!

Star Trek Apartment Flat is for Sale

January 29, 2012

He boldly went where no man had gone before — only to be beamed cruelly back down to Earth.

A British Star Trek fanatic embarked on his own continuing mission — transforming his apartment into an exact recreation of the interior of the Starship Enterprise over the past 10 years.

But a court ruled that 58-year-old Tony Alleyne’s ex-wife, Georgina, has the right to sell the apartment, The Sun newspaper in London reported.

Tony Alleyne, a nightclub DJ , has been living in the one-bedroom railroad flat in Hinckley, Leicestershire, since the couple split in 1994.

The apartment has been decked out with a working flashing computer console that would make Captain Picard proud. It also boasts “transporters” that don’t actually teleport, but do look cool.

“To say I’m gutted is an understatement,” Tony Alleyne, told the newspaper. “It is my life’s work — and it looks like it’s going into a skip. I admit there were tears.”

He says it would cost him roughly him roughly $150,000 to rebuild his masterpiece in another apartment.

Georgina Alleyne, however, denies she is a heartless Klingon. The 52-year-old told the newspaper she has paid the mortgage out of her own pocket since the couple’s separation and just wants “to sell it as conventional property.”

This apartment needs some protection in case there is a home invasion. Can’t have a gun, that would be nonsense! We got the perfect solution…check it out:

Please Check out Everlast’s new music album

January 27, 2012

I heard Everlast was the guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast and it has been a while since I heard anything about Everlast (I have the song “What’s it like” on my iPod touch and it is on my playlist when I workout at the gym). While listening to the podcast, they played a clip off his new CD and it sounds awesome (I get by)….check out the Youtube video below:

I purchased it off Amazon.com and I highly recommend this album. Everlast is someone who constantly breaks barriers and crosses lines most urban music artists are intimidated to walk through, and he does so without compromising his art. He might receive less radio play because of it, but damn this is a very good album. Here is the Amazon link:

James Reimer White Jersey NHL Hockey Figure Series 30

January 27, 2012

At 6’2, 208 pounds, Reimer doesn’t have much of a problem filling the net. His style has been described as simply coming out of the crease and challenging shooters to find space around his large frame. When he is on his game, the lanky netminder uses his size to cut down angles and plays a controlled, focused game. He also displays decent puckhandling skills and is an astute worker.

Boston Bruins visit White House minus Tim Thomas

January 25, 2012

bruins at the white house with president obama

Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas says he didn’t attend the White House ceremony with President Barack Obama honoring the team for its 2011 Stanley Cup Championship because he believes the federal government “has grown out of control” and threatens rights and liberties.

Thomas said on his Facebook page Monday night he was exercising his rights. He said it wasn’t “about politics or party,” and he blames both political parties.

The veteran goaltender basically lead the Bruins to their sixth Stanley Cup and was MVP of last year’s playoffs.

Personally, I am siding with Thomas on this one….Occupy Wall Street!!! Screw the 1%….stand with the 99%. Oh yea, we also carry the hugely popular Tim Thomas NHL hockey figure….Check it out….word to your mother!

Lego man sent to space by teens

January 25, 2012

A pair of Toronto teens sent a Lego man into space, capturing their plastic astronaut’s entire 97-minute adventure in an eye-catching video.

Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17-year-old Grade 12 students at Agincourt Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, used a helium-filled balloon to send the Lego man into space 24 kilometres above sea level two weeks ago. They were inspired to try their mission after watching avideo of a balloon sent to near space by some Massachusetts Institute of Technology students.

The Toronto students used a Styrofoam box containing four cameras and a cellphone fitted with a GPS program so their vehicle could be recovered. They even sewed the nylon parachute to ensure their Lego man would return to Earth safely.

The eye-catching images captured from the flight show the Lego man, gripping a Canadian flag, against a backdrop of a fast-shrinking skyline that gives way to the darkness of space.

Then the balloon pops and tumbles back to Earth. Ho and Muhammad were able to recover the balloon — with their astronaut intact — more than 120 kilometres from the field were it was launched.

Check out their Youtube video:
