Gremlins In Los Angeles?
Hey everyone!
A Friend Of Gremlins Online, Andre “The Black Nerd ” Meadows just put up his newest Black Nerd Comedy video, which is about one night around Midnight in Los Angeles, as well as his thoughts on Gremlins….and where they may lurk!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Jun Planning awesomeness!
Hey Folks,
As many of you know, I work at a collectibles store in southern Wisconsin, and we have a very active online business as well as a local retail store. (Our online shop is at http://www.ultimatetshirts.com) We recently got these Jun Planning Statues in stock and after taking a peek in the boxes, I had to put them up!
These are produced by Craftlabel in the states, but are licensed Gremlins merchandise designed by the one-and-only Jun Planning co in Japan! Stripe is about 12″ tall, and frankly I would not want to wake up to him on my dresser, since it probably is the most realistic sculpt I have ever seen of a Gremlin. I think Stripe’s candy is a little bit oversized but it still looks rad as hell.
Gizmo is adorable, about 6″ tall with his pillow, and really a nice display piece.
They don’t have any points of articulation, as they are statues posed intentionally meant to convey emotion and in Stripe’s case, malevolence.
Speaking personally, the Stripe statue is what I hope my wife has stowed away in a closet somewhere for Christmas. She knows how much I love our green-skinned friends.
Part of the reason I am posting this is because apparently some of our visitors haven’t seen these statues before, and also because if Gremlins stuff starts being a huge seller at our store, I can probably convince my boss to get a ton more neat and possibly exclusive stuff in stock! (Things like T-shirt designs, hats, stuff like that)
Anyways I will talk to the boss man later today to see if I can get a discount for you Gremlins Online users as a “Thank You” for being super awesome and helping make this site as great as it is.
I normally don’t post sales type stuff on the site, as I don’t want to give you guys a bad site or something, but as I personally am working there and I have seen our customer comments, I think I can safely put the Gremlins Online! Pod of approval on ultimatetshirts.com. Besides, if anything went wrong, I can go yell at the shipping team myself for you guys.
I don’t think we will be getting restocked on these before christmas, so whatever we have in the warehouse is what we have. Feel free to print this out and add it to your christmas wishlist!
Take care folks and remember, stay out of the light!
Website Updates and housecleaning…virtually and literally.
Heyas all!
As many of you have noticed by now, some things have been shifting around in the last few weeks here at Gremlins Online, and I just wanted to give you a heads up and a chance to voice your ideas on how we can together make Gremlins Online evenmore awesome.
First off the biggest changes are in the comments. We have been getting assaulted with a ridiculous amount of spam lately, and a few have been slipping through the cracks. To solve this and make sure this site doesn’t turn into a cesspool of annoying spammers barely even speaking engrish, here is what is changing:
- All commenters must be registered on wordpress.com to comment.
For some this is a minor inconvenience but in reality it is something that should have been done long ago. Registering also fixes another minor issue people have contacted me about; Nickname stealing. So once you are registered you can customize your profile and do a ton of stuff you couldn’t otherwise. Your posts will not be manually moderated either, so no delay inposting on those days that I am too lethargic to check the comments queue and figure out which are real and which are attempting to get me to purchase brazilian mogwai cream. (yes I actually was offered this in a spam email once upon a time) - Link restrictions in comments
I put some more aggressive restrictions into action on the links that are in comments. Hopefully this will cut down on the malicious links that have popped up here and there. - Less comments displayed per page on default.
This is really another simple change that shouldn’t really affect most of you. We are only going to show the first few most recent comments on each page. Mainly this is another way of decreasing load times on the site, but also will be nice for those who don’t really care about the discussions to have to scroll through a massive long page of commenting. The discussion will still be there, you will just need to page through it manually now.

I have a toaster. It has become my nemesis.
I have a toaster.
Actually it isn’t just A toaster, it is THE toaster that I dreamed of when I married my wife. It was exactly the one I wanted us to have. Let me clarify: I wanted this toaster, she didn’t care. My “techie toaster” as she called it was all that was at the forefront of my brain as I was 
married. (aside from spending the rest of my life with a beautiful and forgiving wife that will not murder me for blog posts….I hope) I am pretty sure I rushed the ceremonies to simply get to the gift opening portion of the day to bask in the unadulterated glory which was my toaster. (The photo is a stock picture of the toaster we own, I assure you the reality is far from that beautiful after 6 years of abuse and would not be disgraced with bagels.)
Skip forward 6 years now. I woke up this morning with a dire craving, nay a NEED for waffles. I went and pulled the delightful blueberry Eggo waffles from the freezer, and as I loaded the 4-slot toaster I came to two disturbing realizations.
- There are 10 waffles in the box.
- There are 4 slots in the toaster.
I lowered my four waffles into the chrome slots with a certain hesitation, as I now understood why I lay awake at night.
I will have two waffles left over when all is said and done. This is an issue that must be resolved lest the earth hurtle into the sun.
There was no way around it, I wanted to eat my waffles but the cruel Eggo corporation decided to play a cruel joke to eviscerate my dreams of consistent 4 waffle breakfasts.
First, I toyed with the idea of making only 2 waffles, but then I determined that would be a waste of my toaster’s toasting prowess. If you feel I am being unreasonable, then take two wheels off your car and see how things go on your morning commute.
You got Gremlins in my Halo!
Hey folks!
Did you know that in the video game Halo Wars, there is a vehicle named the Gremlin?
It may not have big ears or really look much like a Gremlin, so what makes it special? Well it is fantastic at taking out enemy technology and structures similar to our little green friends, hence the name.
