Wrapper #2, Bumblebee


Package number two in my line up of M&M’s wrappers features the humble bumblebee. Once a yellow Volkswagen in the original, Bay has given him a makeover as a stunning 2009 Chevy camero. If I had a camero like that, it would be yellow with the black racing stripes and I am sure I would put the autobot logo somewhere on the car. Sorry, that is the kid in me talking!

Shown here in his bumblebee gear is Yellow together with Bumblebee striking a pose. And yes this is a “tear and share” package and I did share. My daughter Lily loves M&M’s and had to have a few.

VIctory for LSU

Congratulation to the 2009 LSU Baseball team on the sixth college series championship. Watched the game start to finish and it was awesome.

I felt a little bit of sympathy for Texas but hey, they still have a good team and can try again next year.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

M&M’s Chocl - o - bots


In my effort to cover all things transformers this summer, I stumbled upon M&M’s. Ok, I would be lying if I said I do not eat M&M’s on the regular but not as often as I did for this series of blogs. I added at least a pound eating these dang things and burned up some gas finding all the packages.

M&M’s stepped up the Transformers 2 promotion with seven new packages and one new flavor. The first cover shows Red in his transformer attire with Optimus Prime and the official logos from the latest movie, including the weird symbols that I have yet to understand, probably because I have not seen the movie. Optimus Prime, being the leader of the heroic autobots gets top billing in this series as made official by placing him on package number one. I am partial to this one of all the package mostly because I am a prime fan and love the big red semi, have since a kid. I actually own several versions of the big guy and cannot wait to see him in the next movie and the cooresponding toys.

While the package is cool and definitely increased my M&M’s intake, it really does nothing for the overall flavor. They are still the same chocolate candies and still melt in your mouth as well as your hand in this heat.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen


Yes, it is finally here. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen aka Transformers 2 is out! I cannot wait to see it! Probably going on Friday with my wife and some friends. I will be sure to post my thoughts.


Also I will be covering some of the promotional materials and toys associated with the first blockbuster of the summer. Stay tuned!

Quick Laugh

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, just not much going on.

Quick laugh for the day. I was downstairs in my building, downtown and say this little old man with the strangest shirt. Not strange in the that it was an odd color, or anything. The shirt on the man just seemed out of place.

This guy had to have been in his 70s or older and was hunched over and walking with a cane. The funniest thing was that he was wearing a brown shirt with the neck of an electric guitar printed on it and the words, "I LIKE TO PARTY". I had to turn my head to keep from laughing out loud. Just altogether amusing. I thought I would share.
