ManWithPez

Ah...marriage. Something truly evil for these two to deal with.

Typically speaking, a demon is a bad thing.  Not so on some of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all of it’s superior spinoff, Angel.  What’s that?  You don’t think Angel was better than Buffy?  Write your congressman!  This is my blog!  Anyways, I’ve decided to include some of the purer demons on this list, instead of half demons like Doyle or even the vampires.  Some of them had very limited screen time (in one case here, roughly five seconds), and some were around for years.  Either way, they made an impression on me, and so, let’s look at some demons after the jump!

Talk back to me again, and you'll be riding high tide, you got that?

Today is my son’s birthday.  In honor of this, I’m going to write a little piece about some of my favorite father/son relationships.  However, as is my wont here at ManWithPez, none of these are what you’d consider traditional father/son relationships, ohhhhh no.  In fact,  only one pair is actually blood related.  Having said that, I think we’ll do without the typical rank structure I usually employ with these types of lists, and just jump in.  Who’s ready?  I know I am, and before I go on…Happy 7th, Alexander.  Daddy is very proud of you.  Fathers and sons after the jump.

Yeah, I said his teeth are as yellow as his eyes! Scary, I know!

I don’t know why, but I find the following cartoon clips funny.  They’re really just repeated sayings from certain shows edited down to just those key things I find funny.  Find out why I think is so damn funny after the jump, but I warn you…there’s one clip in here that started me off laughing for a good ten minutes, and I STILL can’t explain why!  Videos for you after the jump!

Not the toad I meant, bu...ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

You know, ThatCostumeGirl and I argued over whether or not to call this group of people Lackeys or Toadies.  Turns out, they mean almost the same thing, really.  There is enough difference, however, that it looks like she won.  So, Toadies it is!  Besides, it’s the cooler sounding term anyways.  Now, there will be some on the list that you disagree with.  Indeed, there are some that start out as toadies, and then distinguish themselves otherwise further in the story.  For however brief a time, however, they were all in glorious servitude, and happy to be so!  So, here they are in rank order:  My Favorite Toadies, after the jump!

How could THIS not work for you? No matter who you are?

We’re goin’ back for the nerd crushes this week.  How far we goin’ back?  Waaaay back!  I figured if I was ever going to roll out some hot nerd crushes based on people who weren’t real, these two would be the ones to start with.  One’s a heartless well of all that is evil, and the other’s been known to rip people’s arms off when they don’t get their way!  I was introduced to The Baroness and Chewbacca both when I was a wee little BoyWithPez, but their influence has stuck with me throughout the years.  Find out why after the jump!

The best library companions ever! Or, the worst, depending on how you look at it.

I’ve made no secret that I’m a huge fan of Animaniacs.  In fact, in my office here at the ManWithPez Central, the siblings sit next to some of my leatherbound books.  I love my leathers, and I keep Wakko, Yakko, and Dot on the same level.  I honestly believe that it was one of the funniest cartoons ever made.  Actually, I still believe that.  Wakko was always my favorite, mostly because he’s completely different from his brother and sister, and not just because he has a completely different accent from them.  He thinks, acts, and genuinely is apart from them in every way.  In a very good, very funny way.  Watch some Wakko with me after the jump, won’t you?

You come in here trying to take my money?! You get burned.

I like dragons.  There, I’ve said it, and I don’t care what the rest of you think.  As a child, I used to sit and doodle dragons all the time.  I think a lot of us did.  Mine were a little strange, though.  I had all the firebreathing, scaly representations you normally see, but some of mine had dog’s heads and bird’s heads.  I had read that Chinese dragons took all kinds of strange forms, and I drew things like that.  The fish head dragon, I’m happy to say, remains buried for everyone’s sanity.  In doing research for this article, however, I”ve found that the dragon seems to by underrepresented!  So, here’s my personal list of my favorite dragons.  I’m certain you won’t agree with some of these, but feel free to tell me yours!  Dragons, after the jump!

Reference for #2 down on that list. I'll say it again...DAMN!!!

Damn!  Go a week without kicking Chuck Norris’s ass, and people will notice.  So, here it is, because YOU demanded it!  You know…I just hadn’t noticed that we hadn’t had a woman fight Chuck Norris on one of these outings.  Actually, that’s not true.  A lot of thought went into picking who was going to take on Chuck’s brawn and beard this week.  I could’ve gone with any old piece of nerdbait cheesecake(mmmm…cheesecake).  But, instead, I decided to go with a badass chick that none of us can deny.  Sigourney Weaver vs Chuck Norris after the jump.

Hey, look Chewie! Those nerds over there are having a boring conversation!

I’m a passing fan of Star Wars.  Now, I hear you bristling up out there.  Truth is, maybe I should have my nerd card pulled, because I think they’re awesome movies, but I’m never going to devote my life to Star Wars.  That being said, there are some zealous fans out there that have turned Star Wars, as creative a property as it is, into something more awesome that the sum of its parts!  Here are a few redubs and mashups.   And, while I know most of them are older,…I don’t really care.  Star Wars funny after the jump.

So...how many dead people are in this picture?

I’ve gone out of my way to try and pester the Twilight set, and for good reason, I think.  That being said, I think True Blood and The Southern Vampire Mysteries are awesome.  Well, season 2 of True Blood was off a bit, but there was enough “What The Fuck” to keep me tuning in.  I’ve read all the books, seen all the episodes, and I think that the people of Bon Temps, Louisiana would be easy to piss off.  Then again, we’re talking about vampires of a distinctly non-sparkly variety, so you might want to tread carefully.  Ten New Ways to Annoy the True Blood People starts after the jump.  Oh…and there are some spoilers here.  Mostly from the books, so watch out.
