Ton o' Towels!

By the time I write this, Towel Day will have passed us by.

I'd been meaning to do this all weekend, and finally got around to emptying a drawer full of towels that are still in their plastic wrapping.

Quite the hodgepodge there. When necessary, I'll open up the plastic and take a pic of the entire towel. For example, these two Godzilla towels that I won't put back in the drawer and use them as seat covers for my car. These I acquired via UFO Catcher.

 

This little Mothra towel is one that I think I'll use as a handkerchief. I have nearly a complete set of these...somewhere.

Hey, I have two T-Shirts in that drawer too.

In a similar vein , here's an Evangelion towel.

A couple of Dragonball and a One Piece.

 

No idea where I got this nor what it is.

A couple of Lupin III from The Castle of Cagliostro.

A mini Moomin from KFC.

Two Snoopy ones.

Rilakuma. This is very soft and I don't think it's a towel but rather a wrap-around shawl.

I never noticed that Sailor Moon is such a metalhead.

Of course, Disney makes an appearance.

I'll have to add this to my Halloween costume bag for the kiddies to wear for dress up.

Not sure when or where I landed this Alice. It is gorgeous!

Not a clue what this is.

Rugby towels given away when you buy four pops.

Probably acquired at a St. Patrick's Day party.

I don't remember buying this. Glad I scored a bit of history.

This Ninjago came as a freebie when I saw the Lego movie.

Finally a pair of UFO Caught Marvel beach towels. These things are taller than I am.

I do believe that when next I travel to Canada (if ever), most of these will be omiyage to be given to friends and family.

Are you a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is!

A Bucket List.

Just some odds and ends today. First, a few freebies I've accumulated over the past few weeks.

Hey surely, you didn't buy these kiwis merely because they came in a Halloween bucket?
Of course not, and please don't call me Shirley.

Hey Michael, you didn't buy 4 soft drinks just so you could get this bucket, did you?
Hmmm, perhaps it was a factor.

Hey Michael, you didn't buy four CC Lemons just so you could get this cute little bowl, did you?
Of course not, I just really needed a bowl and it was the only way to get it.

I like the werewolf best.

Hey Michael, you didn't buy a 6-pack of teas just so you could get a towel, did you?
NO, no, no, no.

Hey Michael, you didn't buy another 6-pack of teas just so you could get a towel, did you?
Quiet you!

I'm running dry of Eko Eko Azarak postcards, so if you don't mind watching a show with no subtitles and lots of incomprehensibility, try Hecate Part 1 and Part 2 (note: the first minute or so of part 1 is NSFW but is safe after that.)

Other than that, today's movie was Panic Flight. Oops, that's the Japanese title, this is the real title.



Wes Craven still has it with this low key tense thriller.

Just for fun and since I haven't done a pamphlet in a while, here is Assassination Classroom.

Here's a clip of the best fights, albeit from the anime, not the movie.



If you click the little F for FaceBook badge on this blog, that'll take you to my FaceBook page where you can watch the entire subtitled movie!

As for a fellow Cryptkeeper (also available if you click the Cryptkeeper badge on this blog), try The Horrors of Halloween.
That's it for today, more creepiness(?) tomorrow.

A Qoo d'Etat!

Since it's Talk Like a Pirate Day today, I'm going to jump the gun on a Countdown to Halloween post and show some cute Pirates right now.

  

That Pirated gal is none other than Jeongyeon of  Twice fame, a K-Pop group that has sung many of their tunes in Japanese as well. What follows are several of the other gals in Halloween garb anointing the label of either Orange, Apple or Grape-flavoured Qoo.

 

 

 

 

 

It was not until I went to the Qoo website that I noticed that the random letters behind each gal spell out something. (I didn't buy 9 bottles of one flavour, I mixed and matched.)

Here's a brief commercial...



I didn't just buy the Pops (can't really call them juices) for the flavour, I also scored a Clear File and a mini-tote bag.

 

A word of advice, if you want to run out and buy these, I'd do so at a supermarket where they're about 78 yen each, if you go to a Conbini, they're about TWICE that. (See what I did there?)

I don't think I'm going to run out and buy any of their albums, they're a tad to sweet for me.
Case in point...



To wrap up this "Talk Like a Pirate" post, I'd be remiss if I didn't include a silly statement I made on Facebook today. Similar in vein to two years ago, I said,
"Are you King of the Jews?"

"Quod scripsi, scripsi" ("What I have written, I have written.")
"Quid est veritas?" (What is truth?")
"Crucify him!" Why, what has he done?"

It's "Talk like a Pilate Day"!

9 years ago, it was, 

Altitude: 21,000 feet. Speed: 520 knots. Level flight. Course: zero-niner-zero.
As everyone knows, it's "International Talk Like a Pilot Day".

Today's witticism is:

I'm an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS₂.
It's "Talk like a Pyrite Day"!
