There is something strangely fulfilling about seeing new candy. I think it’s also the same thing that makes me excited as when a new beverage comes out. I’m psychotic about that kind of stuff and I always wondered why. New food? I could care less. New cookies or chips? I hardly ever give a shit about those kinds of things. However, when a new beverage comes out I will dart to my local store and buy three of them. When I’m at the store and I see uniquely shaped bottles and containers that house said beverages, I’m like an animal unleashed. I once spent forty dollars at Raley’s here in town when I saw all their new and fancy bottled drinks. Most people have their achille’s heel when it comes to spending money and drinks, those are mine. Drinks and candy. Yesterday, I about peed myself when I saw that they came out with Tropical Tootsie Rolls. You don’t know pleasure until you’re sucking on a pineapple tootsie roll pop.

I bring this up because my seemingly strange oral fixation for candy always gets in the way with my gaming. I can never suck on a lollipop while playing a game because it takes at least one hand to suck upon the lollipop. I could always leave it in my mouth, but why? I can’t enjoy the spherical shape of the lollipop and evenly make it’s candy-shell shrink if I just pop it in and devote all my attention to the game. See where I run into the problem?

If only they could make a candy that you could pop into your mouth and have a good time with WHILE not having to think too hard about it while playing. Sure, there’s things like M&Ms and Skittles — but those don’t last long. You still have to take one hand off the controller to grab some. With gum, it loses it flavor too fast and then you’re stuck chewing on nasty gum until you can find a safe place to pause.

I know, of all the things to blog about. Of all the things to whine about, I chose candy and my laziness due to ease of consumption. I never said I had a good argument, I just thought to post about it.

Any suggestions?

I live in a town in Nevada. In a desert.

It’s the end of May, which is really close to June, considered by most to be summer.

It was snowing today.

That is all.

All I can say is LOLLERS! It’s a discussion between Kaz Hirai and Lex Luthor (played by Kevin Spacey).

“Come on…lemme here you say it once…”

For those of you eagerly looking forward to Superman Returns and can’t get enough of teaser trailers. You’ll probably be interested in this international trailer. Click here. Enjoy.

Joey Coco’s Top Five Tokusatsu Openings! I’m putting everything on the line with this list. I hope you trust me to bring you only the finest.

5) Super Robot Mach Baron

Mach Baron is most notable for how distracting it is from the show at hand. The opening almosts suggests that you should black out before the first act. You probably will.

4) Kaiketsu Zubat

Zubat is one of the first tokusatsu openings to really grab the viewer’s balls. The whip is almost a distraction to the coming onslaught of awesome.

3) Super Rescue Solbrain

Help! Help! Stop, that’s all you need to say about the early 90’s monster known as SOLBRAIN!

2) Space Sheriff Gavan

This is my favorite hero, so it’s no surprise that he would make my top opening list, right? Well, it’s not just Kenji Ohba’s charm that lands his spot in history. The waka-waka twangs and transformations combine to make one of the most legendary segments ever spliced together on film.

1) Honoo No Chôjin Megaloman

There’s not much to say here. The explosive musical opening might serve as a pre-punctuation, but Megaloman’s mullet creates a time vortex that remains unrivaled. Thanks for checking these out. Post your own lists in the comments section if you like. Maybe I’ll post all five in the Joseph Luster Report! Also, there weren’t any sentai shows listed because that would just be unfair. Watch 4 seconds
of FIVEMAN’s OP and you’ll understand. Expect a sentai countdown soon, though!
