Things that come back to you

It started with Alibi heralding salmon-flavored soda...
... which led to a comment from someone who tried the whole specialty soda gift pack, including Turkey & Gravy and Broccoli Casserole...

....which couldn't help but remind me of the classic (and apparently continuing) Steve, Don't Eat It!

Turkey and gravy-flavoured...?

Is that still around?!?

SFX: BWHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Someone's got to browbeat Starbucks Canada into carrying this at their Chapters bookstore outlet spaces!

My impression is that they're trying to add something new each year, and Salmon Pate' appears to be the latest. I saw they had more than one gift pack on their site, though it really does seem to be a novelty item best suited as a joke (or should I say gag?) gift or part of a hazing ritual. The middle link in the post, to the trio who did a taste tour through their gift pack, doesn't entice me to want to drink any of it.

Come to think of it, though, I believe the Panera Bread chain carries Jones' soda, so it could be that these have been handier than I thought.

At eBay! Just a note that Tony Collett has a an assortment of toys, action figures, comics and games coming down to their final minutes on ebay . (Sorry for forgetting to note this earlier, Tony. It seemed as if they'd just gone up and here we are near the end.) Also, Mike Leuszler's ebay store has an interesting mix of games, comics, prints, etc. I'll finally be putting some more items (probably only clix) up within the next day or two. Last week's power outage threw my schedule far off, and there were some complications due to me selling something large for someone else.

Bids & Pieces Email from eBay this morning informs me of price increases that will be going into effect starting midnight, February 18th. They currently hit sellers up for 5.25% of the closing value on items that sell between $.01 and $25, plus 3.75% for the portion between $25.01 and $1,000. The new rate will be a hefty jump to 8% on that base amount and a near doubling of the next level to 5%. There are other changes, but that’s the core set of changes I’m concerned with. This may be the extra fire I needed under me to get that long-overdue new round of auctions up and running soon. Heroclix items will be the focus, but I might also put up comics for the first time in several years, and perhaps some other things. Making the selections, doing some set-up between now and the 21st, and running a wall of auctions starting either that night or on the 22nd -- that's the loose plan. Updates and general self-promotion will increase as the kick-off date approaches and ...

Spider-man 3 succumbing to Batman/Superman syndrome? While I've yet to see this confirmed, FreezeDriedMovies is announcing three villains in for the next movie. We knew that James Franco, playing Harry Osborne, was going to be following in his father's footsteps and would be on the vengeance trail against Peter Parker/Spider-man. Moreover, given the personalities and the father/son dynamic in play most of us suspected Harry would change his father's costume and become Hobgoblin rather than try to become his father; his lack of self esteem, if nothing else, would have prevented that. Now we find out that Topher ( That 70s Show ) Grace is reportedly bulking up to be Venom, and Thomas Haden Church is set to be Sandman, both to debut in Spider-man 3 . I suppose I should say some versions of the characters, as odds are one or both will end up being catspaws that Harry's used Oscorp's facilities to bankroll. It's the tidiest way to cram three villains - two of who...
