Leapfrog Didj Custom Educational Gaming SystemLeapfrog Didj Custom Educational Gaming System

No Frog Left Behind

All right, that’s it. I told you what would happen if I found another encyclopedia hidden under your mattress. No more Didj for a week.

Don’t bother begging. Maybe after a week without solving any addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems with the included Jet Pack Heroes game, you’ll knuckle down and get serious about your responsibilities around here. Have you even looked at all those Ultimate Fighting bouts on the TiVo? Or even one episode of Hurl? No, I didn’t think so.

You better not even think about creating any custom spelling lists or playing any of the rest of the extensive line of Didj learning games (sold separately). Don’t even touch the styling skins or the jelly case. If your father and I find you using your Didj to sharpen your math, spelling, and language skills and totally ignoring the TV, well, little mister, don’t think we won’t wash your mouth out with the DVD box set of season 2 of VH1’s I Love Money. That’ll be a lesson you won’t forget.

Now, you know, your father and I approve of things like unlocking exclusive downloads and earning badges for in-game achievements. But not if it means you’re going to learn something. So while you’re taking this little vacation from your Didj, you better find some other video games to play instead of wasting time reading books or something. You’ll thank us when you get older.

Who Wants Flowers When You’re Dead?

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is how I feel about a dead writer they make you read in high school and all that kind of crap, but I don’t really feel like going into it if you want to know the truth.

What I know, and really, who cares about any of this crap, is that there’s some guy they mentioned on one of my mom’s old Beastie Boys records because he rhymed with “challenger”, and they probably didn’t ever read him either or somebody made them read him, and then that guy they mentioned went and bit it yesterday. I keep hearing teachers say I should like him but I just felt sorry as hell when I found out all his books are published by a major publisher. How many blogs could have been set up with all that cash and drama? And then he sued some guy for writing a parody? That made me think he was really too corporate for me. I don’t go in for all that corporate crap too much. That’s why I bought an V-Touch 16GB Portable Media Player.

It’s sort of a joke on everybody else I know. They see this thing that looks like an iPod and they get all excited and I can show them that it’s just a cheaper lookalike, and that instead of listening to MP3s or WAVs or WMAs or AACs, I’m using the built-in FM radio to listen to NPR, and then they get mad like it’s some big issue or something. I think it’s because they don’t like someone who shows them how phony they are. This whole world’s gone phony, you see, and I feel sorry as hell for anyone that can’t recognize it. I’m gonna start my podcast about it using the V-Touch 16GB Portable Media Player’s built-in Voice Recorder soon. It won’t have many listeners, probably, but I don’t care about listeners. I just want to do it, get the word out, maybe help people start thinking about crap like that. People just don’t think at all, and that makes me sorry as hell, and I guess I want to try and help them do it more.

Anyway, last night, I was taking pictures of the carousel in the park with my V-Touch 16GB Portable Media Player’s 2.0 MP camera. I do that in the later evenings, you know, the sunlight then makes everything seem more real to me somehow. I was in the park, and I saw my English teacher talking to some guy on a bench. He was patting his hand real seriously, like they were dating or something, and he was saying that before he was famous, the guy dated Eugene O’Neill’s daughter and she dumped him for Charlie Chaplin. I guess that just made me sorry as hell for how it must have felt to be young and have nobody listen, and I guess that made me think differently about all this dead guy crap or whatever.

I mean, it’s not like he and me ever would have been friends or anything, and he was probably a total phony like everybody famous except for Conan O’Brien, but everybody knows how bad it feels to have something you thought you wanted blow up in your face. Like, if the V-Touch 16GB Portable Media Player suddenly sold out, and everybody had one, I probably wouldn’t want it any more, and I’d feel bad I ever bought one. I’d probably throw it into the ocean or something, just smash that 2.8 inch touchscreen, just because. I guess maybe the only way to truly be non-commercial is to just never give anyone a chance to see your stuff. I guess maybe that’s why he was all alone up there in that big house with his words. He was just trying to be pure. Makes you sorry as hell to think about all that crap.

So rest in peace, JD. But don’t think I’m gonna miss you or anything. Once you start missing dead strangers, you start missing everybody.

Giant Screaming Monkey with Woot CapeGiant Screaming Monkey with Woot Cape

And Now, Ladies And Gentlemen

He was a king and a god in the world he knew, but now he comes to civilization merely a captive – a show to gratify your curiosity!

It wasn’t easy – just ask all the crewmen lost on Stuffed Monster Island – but Woot brought him back alive! Behold the biggest, screamingest monkey ever seen in these latitudes by civilized men! You see before you a titan, a colossus, reduced to a plaything and forced to wear a demeaning red aviator’s cap and a cape smeared with a silver Woot logo!

A full 28 inches long, with the rubber slingshot arms of his lesser cousins, but with an ape-sized scream guaranteed to empty any room, annoy any co-workers, and awe any Stone Age tribe into meek, worshipful submission – truly the Eighth Wonder of the World! Or at least one of the top, let’s say, Fifteen Wonders of the World! And we bring him to you in gratitude for enduring the marathon test of endurance and credit balance that terrified natives throughout the South Seas call “the Woot-Off”!

Oh no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was hitting F5 killed the beast!

Warranty: Why would you wanna return this?!

Features:

• Slingshot-like rubber arms
• Like 4 regular screaming monkeys screamed into 1
• Majestic cape features equally majestic Woot logo
• Screams like the souls of the damned stretching on the racks of Hades
• Dimensions: 28” x 6” (L x W)

Razer Lycosa Back Lit Gaming KeyboardRazer Lycosa Back Lit Gaming Keyboard

Kneel Before Lycosa!

But the slavering man-beasts didn’t sink their glistening fangs into Roeder’s flesh. Grabbing him roughly under each arm, they seemed to be taking him somewhere.

“Wh-where are you t-t-taking me?” Roeder stammered. They only snarled in reply. Roeder felt that if they weren’t under orders to capture him, the werewolves would’ve been thrilled to devour him. Roeder watched the shopping mall parking lot pass him by as they pulled him into a patch of overgrown ditchweed taller than Roeder himself. Before he knew it, he’d been pushed down some kind of hole hidden among the weeds. He bumped roughly onto a stone floor a moment later, tasting blood from a lower lip he’d bitten on the way down.

It was dark. Then, it wasn’t. Roeder realized that everything was cast in a very faint but unmistakeable blue glow. He looked around for a moment – then the back of his skull exploded in pain. He never felt the two werewolves dragging his unconscious body by the arms along the cave floor, their mouths watering with repressed bloodlust.

“Prisoner! Prisoner! Wake up! Stand in Her Majesty’s presence! Bow before Lycosa – Queen of the Werewolves!”

One of the werewolves slapped Roeder across the face while the other lifted Roeder on to his feet and gave him a shove. Groggy, off-balance, Roeder half-expected to open his eyes and see the shopping mall. But the blue glow blinded him back to reality. So intense now it filled the chamber, Roeder could hardly stand to focus on its source. And when he did, he choked with horror.

There must have been fifty nubs on the thing’s black, monstrous body, each glowing with an inscrutable symbol from the creature’s eldritch rune-tome. Roeder retched cold bile. “Speak, maggot! How will you serve Lycosa?”

“Serve? What? I don’t understand-”

“Shall I stomp your body into slop for my skele-hogs? Answer me, maggot!”

“I’ll do whatever you want. I am at your service. Your highn- uh, majesty?”

“Highness is fine, too. I accept your pledge of fealty and grant you the luxury of serving me!”

Roeder sighed. He had some time to figure out how to escape. “Awesome.”

“You shall be my man-bride, available to pleasure me at my will, until my whims dictate that I rend your flesh into bite-sized wads and use your pulpy remains to fertilize my homegrown. Is THAT clear?”

“OK, but you’re going to have to explain how to pleasure you. I’ve never gotten busy with a keyboard before.”

“It’s simple. Just play me.”

“Play you? You mean -”

“Yes. Use me to control your PC gaming. Pound my backlit keys. Exploit my Hyperesponse technology. Explore my TouchPanel easy access media keys. And I can handle up to 10 customizable software profiles, so use me in any PC game you want.”

“Any game I want?”

“Yeah, I keep an updated library of games on hand just for my man-brides. I’m on every major company’s promo list – the industry is like half werewolf. Without us, they’d never ship a single game.”

“Well, your majesty, and your highness, if I must serve, I must.”

You Deserve This HD LCD Television

Especially after the January you’ve had.

This was going to be THE year, wasn’t it? The year you were finally going to get your life together and start fresh after the Great Bummer of 2009. You even made a list titled “Changes To Be Made” and everything, with things like “Start a fitness plan”, “Don’t get drunk and call Mom to apologize for the failure I’ve become”, “No more throwing myself on coffins and screaming ‘WHY?’ at funerals”, and “Stop sabotaging the computer just so I can seduce the Repair Guy into sleeping with me.” One by one, each of those little promises you made yourself were broken like a wine glass at a Jewish wedding, weren’t they? Funny how things work out. Or, you know, DON’T work out.

But now’s your chance to turn all that around, friend! There’s still one thing you wanted to do to make 2010 great! Look! There near the bottom of the list! Number 147 says, “Buy myself one of those fancy, yet refurbished, HD televisions.”

SCORE! Now instead of adding one more Red X of Regret, you can finally put a Checkmark of Success next to something! This refurbished Philips 32” LCD HDTV with 1366×768p resolution and Dolby Digital Output may be just the thing to get you back on track for the remaining 11 months of the year. Its Pixel Plus HD for better details, depth, and clarity won’t make up for all those other disasters, but it’s a step in the right direction.

“Ay! It’s-a me! The freaking’ Pope-a! It’s-a niiiice, being-a the Pope-a all-a that time-a. You know-a what I got-a here? I got-a the mouse-a. See? It-a all cute-a and-a cuddly, it’s-a a Salmosa, and-a it-”

“Cut! Marty, really. Didn’t we get rid of this guy last time? Didn’t we talk about this? I don’t care that he’s a method actor deep in his role, I hate this guy. I hate him, Marty. So why’s he back?”

clickIt was a union thing, Jack. Focus on the Salmosa’s optical sensor. You know this thing is the fastest optical sensor in the world, so play that up. Maybe just try to work around him or something.

“Ay! I-a no like-a the ‘around’. The Pope-a ain’t-a no ‘around’. The Pope-a, he-a the ‘center’. He have-a the Pope-a-mobile and-a the Pope-a-cave and-a the Pope-a-sicle. It-a come in-a cherry and-a orange-a too.”

“You hearing this, Marty? Work around him? Marty, my whole concept for this was a Razer Salmosa 3G Optical Gaming Mouse fighting in World War II. It was going to be a heroic story of man against Nazi. A story of the struggle to overcome-”

clickThe Razer Salmosa 3G Optical Gaming Mouse isn’t just about games, Jack. It also works as a professional mouse as well.

“At’s-a right, and it’s-a Pope-a approved-a too.”

“Get out of my face, pal.”

“Oh! You-a no threaten the Pope-a again! The Pope-a strike-a you to Hell-a!”

“Any time you’re ready, buddy-boy.”

clickJack, now, come on, stay focused. Talk about the two buttons and the switch on the bottom that lets gamers change the dpi and polling rate without needing to install new drivers.

“You-a gonna get-a messed-a up, boy-a”

“Yeah, you talk a lot, Pope, but I don’t see you swingin’.”

clickJack, Jack, what are you doing, Jack, c’mon, don’t be stupid.

“You-a gonna learn-a a new dogma of-a pain.”

“Yeah? Well, I’m like the Razer Salmosa 3G Optical Gaming Mouse. I’ve got an Always-On mode.”

“OW! YOU-A BROKE-A THE POPE-A’S NOSE! THE POPE-A’S NOSE! SHE-A BROKEN INTO-A ITTY BITTY-A BITS-A!”

clickSmooth move, Jack.

“Marty, it wasn’t my fault. This guy just… I mean, that Pope thing! It’s just so offensive! I couldn’t help myself!”

“OW! THE POPE-A NO FORGIVE-A YOU! YOU-A GO-A STRAIGHT-A TO THE HOT-A PLACE! AND I DON’T-A MEAN HAWAII! OW! THE POPE-A GONNA SUE! SUE! OW!”

clickGreat, Jack. That’s gonna come out of the budget too. You better hope we sell a lot of these Razer Salmosa 3G Optical Gaming Mice today.

“Great. You know, this probably never would have happened if we’d gone with that guy pretending to be Greek Orthodox.”

clickDon’t make it worse on yourself, Jack.
