Today, I’d like to take a moment to pay my respects to the greatest gizmo of all time: The Nintendo Power Glove.

For those of you who don’t remember, the Power Glove was released as a peripheral to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. That is also, coincidentally, when it entered my heart.

First of all, I understand that it’s fiction. And I’m willing to accept the notion of a space alien with the power to fly, see through stuff, and wear primary colors without looking stupid. But there were still some things in this movie that just can’t be reckoned with.

The plot goes like this: Marlon Brando and his wife have discovered that their home planet of Krypton (which is, apparently, an English-speaking planet) is going to blow up. Why? Who knows, but the fact that all the office buildings are made out of crystals might have something to do with it.

Last week, I found myself shivering with cold sweats. It had been ages since I had spent a ridiculous amount of money on a marginally useful gadget. So, despite the fact that I already have a Palm Tungsten T5, I picked up the nearly identical Palm TX.

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Kentucky Fried Chicken Famous Bowls… they’re famous, after all. How they managed to be famous the instant they were released is a mystery, but if KFC says they’re famous, who am I to disagree with the Colonel?

The concept, in theory, is fairly simple: take everything you’d get in a good ol’ “just-like-Mom-used-to-take-out” KFC dinner and chuck it all in a bowl. Like a big meat smoothie. Mmmmmm.

Yesterday I watched this movie adaptation of Vertigo’s venerated Hellblazer series. I’m not going to comment on it, because comic movies are always cursed to simultanously suck and rule, but I do want to comment on director Whatever-his-name-is’s presentation of Hell.

I don’t have a strong opinion about Oreo Pizza, except that it strikes me as totally awesome.

It’s just that every post I write about food, Smivey seems to have written about it first, and drops by to link his blog. As if I don’t know he’s funnier. It’s the blogging equivalent of “Simpsons did it!”

So here. Here’s proof that I wrote about Oreo Cookie pizza first. Just look at the date on this post. I wrote about it Oreo Pizza so long before Smivey that the internet hadn’t even been invented yet. Hell, I hadn’t even been born yet. That’s just how much of a jump I have on Smivey on the topic of Oreo Pizza.

And to prove it, here’s a picture I took of my Oreo Pizza long before Smivey:

That’s right. See how it’s all sepia-toned? That’s ’cause it’s old. Much older than Smivey’s post.
