As noted previously on Scary-Crayon, Wes spent a few days in China in May 2007 -- and in Toys from Shanghai, he describes his experiences in the foreign toy shops and reviews his spoils. Toys have little holes, too. (6/21/07)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #100!
And in Dusty Plastic Hell: Hot Flash #100 (yay!), we head on over to China for a sampling of Wes's adventures on Nanjing Road, the main street for shopping in Shanghai. Indeed, one can buy all sorts of things there... (6/5/07)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #99!
Why has my cell become a magnet for wrong numbers as of late? It's maddening and mind-boggling, but at least it makes for good Hot Flash material. I'll have a cape and a cowl and a plucky young sidekick (or two) to go! (5/21/07)
In a faraway land where everything is covered with mold, a lone scholar takes it upon herself to rid her town of the oppressive fungus. Read about her solitary exploits in an allegorical tale entitled "Mold Country". (5/21/07)
TMNT I & II: THE MS-DOS PORTS!!!
Scary-Crayon continues its unofficial quest to review every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for the PC in this look at the MS-DOS versions of TMNT I and II. Beware, for April O'Neil has joined the ranks of the living dead. (5/10/07)
In the long-awaited 14th edition of Crayon Poetry Corner, we sadly reflect upon an encounter with a flattened horny toad during a late night walk. Weep, dear readers, for it died so young... and with so much undone. (5/10/07)
Many Random Lunches are made, but few are seen here: most are forgotten. Yet just as busty explorers raid ruins to uncover relics of old, so may you unearth these dishes by reading... The Lost Lunches: Volume One. (5/5/07)
The new season of Doctor Who hasn't been all that great, but this latest development is especially ridiculous and utterly unacceptable. In A Crayon Haiku #65, we look upon the abomination that is... well, abominable. (4/21/07)
Like the VA Tech shooter, Wes was also condemned for authoring "disturbing" works in college. In fact, this very excerpt was deemed so horrifying that the writing tutor avoided him at all costs after reading it! Srsly. (4/20/07)
Today is Friday the 13th, so here is A Crayon Haiku #64 with a potentially spooky product from the dollar store to commemorate the occasion! Perhaps it will go well with Whitehall sandwich slices... and bread. (4/13/07)
They've released a ton of Ninja Turtles video games over the years, but none has been quite like TMNT: Manhattan Missions (except for itself, of course). Read on to find out why it's our favorite interactive Turtles adventure! (4/8/07)
Yes, it's time for another short story! Well, sort of, as "The Native and the Foreigner" is more of a brief vignette that describes an uneasy foreigner's initial interactions with his native host. Strange customs indeed... (4/4/07)
With a new Turtles movie in theaters, you just knew they'd release a video game tie-in to milk the franchise for even more cash. But is it worth buying? Read our review of the PC version of Ubisoft's TMNT for more details. (3/31/07)
Well, the latest TMNT film is finally here! Alas, for us at Scary-Crayon, it's something of a disappointment. We've summed up our thoughts in A Crayon Haiku #63, but see the attendant blog post for a fuller assessment. (3/25/07)
A Crayon Haiku #62 marks the writing debut of Grimlock, who has composed a haiku about the rather unfortunate state in which he appears in this short piece. Curse those Autobots and their poor leadership skills! (3/25/07)
Those wacky exterminators are popping up everywhere -- apparently even in the homes of people too fat to actually walk to the store to purchase them! See A Crayon Haiku #61 and the attendant blog entry for details. (3/15/07)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #98!
The Daleks return to Scary-Crayon in Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #98, in which a restaurant comment card asks the question: what would a Dalek do if it owned a zpizza establishment? I think you know the answer. (3/14/07)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #97!
The Transformers return to Scary-Crayon in Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #97! The Decepticons may be trouble, Hasbro, but that shouldn't be taken literally concerning certain characters' action figure designs. (3/8/07)
