More Halloween preparation:

Kevin knows what he’s doing… have started to make your Snakes on a Plane costume yet?

My video capturing/editing abilties are weak, but if someone has the technology and the know-how, I’d appreciate it if you could grab the first two minutes or so of last night’s Gilmore Girls. I have the whole episode on my computer, but I’m having a tough time cropping out all the non Snakes on a Plane stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Here’s my bad, bad effort. It’s got an annoying text message in the middle of the screen AND you’ll have to skip past the first minute (”last time on Gilmore Girls”) which isn’t relevant:

Snakes on the Gilmore Girls

In the interim, here’s a transcript:

Girl: Let me bottom line it for you, snakes are gross, snakes are scary and slithery, and do you know where snakes do not belong?

Boy: On a plane?

Girl: They do not belong on a plane.

Boy: It’s not an ideal situation

Girl: They do not belong anywhere except in cages stuck in safes buried deep deep underground. I hate snakes!

Boy: So I’m gathering.

Girl: With their gross no-legged bodies and their scaly scaly skin and their wiggling and their hissing.

Boy: Ok, Laura, I respect your very valid feelings about snakes…

Girl: Thank you.

Boy: But I have to say, we were fairly warned.

Girl: No, no, a movie should not just be its title. Driving Miss Daisy ddin’t all take place in a car, Dancing with Wolves wasn’t one long wolf dance. This was nothing but snakes snakes relentless snakes snakes on a plane snake snakes snakes on a plane!

Boy: This was our fifth bad movie in a row, it’s got to be some kind of record.

Girl: We’ve got to face facts, movies have gotten bad.

Boy: Unless it’s our fault…

Are their names Laura and Chris? I don’t watch Gilmore Girls.

Halloween is fast approaching and Jakob was kind enough to get us in the mood with these pumpkin carvings:

Now I know a lot of you are considering tasteless sting-ray or Cory Lidle costumes for this Halloween, but might I suggest a wholesome, family-friendly, homemade snakes on a plane costume? I’ve posted this image before, but it seems like a good thing to consider:

You’ve got two weeks left until Halloween, get cracking.

More comics from around the web:

The first comic is from Sunday’s Shoe, the second is from PvPonline’s guest blogger Chris Giarrusso.

I know you thought the whole Snakes on a Plane thing had peaked, but, well, this one’s new. “The Snake has entered the Colliseum”:

USC Marching band covers Snakes on a Plane

AOL Sports Blog was kind enough to point to the above video and add the following commentary:

Proving that no cultural phenomenon is too overdone for the University of Southern California’s Trojan Marching Band to exploit, this year’s pop-culture song added to the Spirit of Troy repertoire is Cobra Starship’s “Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)”.

I like the big snake walking around the field, but it would have been nice to have some sort of plane, or, of course, Samuel L. Jackson in lieu of the Trojan mascot.

Back in my day we used a TI-81 without all these fancy-pants features like the ability to run software downloaded from the internet. When I was in high school we had to write our own stupid BASIC choose-your-own-adventure programs. I don’t know if I can take much stock in this new, downloadable bunko. I tend to think it’s going to lead to the pornographication of the calculator.

Anyway, an officemate of my old roommate wrote in to point out this:

Snakes on an XY Plane

It, cleverly:

“Draws random snakes on the xy-plane. This program takes one argument, n, to indicate how many snakes to draw.“

You can download the .zip file from the linked site, or mirrored locally.

Burger King is getting in on the whole snake phenomenon:

A surprising twist opening from Lost’s season three premiere episode was caught in this stunning freeze frame (you’ll need to click to see the subtle details):

More fan art and photos from around the web:

We’ve got a viewing party with Jakob at the top, and we’ve got Snakes on a Lane at the bottom.

A few months ago I pointed out a board game that was scheduled to go on sale in the future. At the time I questioned whether it was legit as they didn’t have any contact information and they were taking pre-orders without a solid-ship date. Well, it appears I was wrong to have questioned them as they’ve sent me a ‘review’ copy of the game. You can order them here. It actually looks fairly professional:

The best part, though, are the player cards which include such classics as:

I haven’t gotten a chance to actually PLAY it yet, but just reading the cards has been amusing enough. Check out their official site if you’re interested in more: Cobras in the Cockpit.

A few weeks ago there were snakes on a Pensacola Highway. I now have one more picture of them, and I really like efforts of whoever did these, so I’m going to post it yet again. Enjoy:

Jump the shark?  No, jump the snake:

When something that was hyped to be great turns out to be mediocre, especially when you really should have known better in the first place.

This differs from jump the shark because it refers to something that was never good to begin with, versus something that was good and went bad.

Ah, Urban Dictionary, you can be so harsh.  You loved us in the past.  What happened?  What happened…

I received this little marketing piece the other day as I got out of a cab in DC. It seems like it’s a little bit late to start pushing the film, but, well, I guess you never know when a passenger on his way to Dulles is going to be in the mood for a cab-receipt-originated film recommendation.

I’ve been mighty quiet lately. The film, obviously, has opened. We all had a good time. Sadly, I’m back in school and spent last week traveling in Boston searching for jobs. I’ll be spending next week traveling in Los Angeles searching for jobs. Anybody want to throw one my way?

Anyway, to keep us on topic here, here’s a series of Fan Comics from around the web:

As with everything lately, my attribution abilities are just awful. Please let me know where these came from.

Snakes have shown up on the highways around Pensacola as drivers approach the airport. Here’s just one example photo:

Does anyone have any more photos of these?  Thanks to Wise82Guy for this one.

I’ve gotten a few things in the mail in the last few weeks. I’ve been slow about posting it all, but here’s an update.

This meta-shirt was put out by Look at Me Shirts and can be purchased here. I know it’s a little bit late to be picking up new shirts, but, hey, it’s really never too late.

Snakes on an umbrella? I know you were all waiting for this to come out. You were sitting there, holding on to your last twenty dollar bill, on the verge of financial ruin, just waiting, WAITING, for a Snakes on a Plane themed umbrella to be available. There never was one before, there probably never will be one again. But there is one now. Damnation-Inc rocks.

And finally, the most precious of the three items. A friend was on a work-related visit to Taiwan and took this picture, which I was pretty happy with, until my package arrived in the mail today containing a Snakes on a Plane poster in, well, Chinese? I assume Chinese. Pretty cool, eh?

Anybody want to send me more foreign posters?  It could be a thing.

Has Snakes on a Plane finally found it’s sequel?

SnakesattheDentist.com, I mean, sure, why not?

Shakespeare was far ahead of his time. Here’s an excerpt:

So come, ye traveler, and fix thy mask
Of air upon thy visage. Soft, but breathe
Most normally. Yet offer none who hiss.
For gods in high compartments o’erhead
Have granted me with gilded blades aloft.

Who knew Shakespeare was such a visionary.

Fan Comics from around the web. Unfortunately, like my last post, since I’ve been disorganized lately, I don’t know where the comics came from. Damn my crappy archiving system, damn it. If you know where these came from, post them in the comments so I can give proper attributes. Ok, the first is from Blaugh.

I do, thankfully, know that this last one came from Jeff Rowland at Overcompensating:
