Well folks, I just got the new photos in of the Shirt Ninja Figurine, and he is looking SWEEEET. I didn't realize it was possible to get more excited than I was originally, but I've clearly underestimated myself. I'm literally beside myself with excitement. No, seriously. I'm looking at myself right now. I'm waving at me. Oh! I'm waving back!
These preorders are going fast and furious (The limited editions sold out in less than 9 hours), but once I make the order, the quantity I pick will be set in stone, so the only way to be 100% sure you'll be able to get one of these bad boys is to preorder, so preorder yours today!
Gozer the Carpathian

Okay, before I get any more of you crazy buggers e-mailing me about this, I thought I'd defend myself a little bit (as much as I can, anyhow.)
First, let me establish that I have not seen Ghostbusters in... well, let's call it 15 years for good measure. I'm not proud of that, by any means... I just haven't seen it since I was about 11. Now, BEFORE that time, I had it on VHS and watched it all the time, but I will still working on an 11-year old's memory.
So, to back it up, I skimmed the Wikipedia article on Ghostbusters, which reminded me that the god's name was Gozer. That sparked a memory in my head of "Gozer the Carpathian". I don't know where it came from, but I remembered having seen it before. So, I went to google and typed in "Gozer the carpathian", and a bunch of things came up, so I figured "Hey, cool. That sounds way better in a punchline than just "Gozer". (It's a writing thing.)
Now, had it NOT been 5 AM, I might have glanced upwards and noticed that "Gozer the Carpathian" only returned 1,580 results, which is HARDLY enough to establish credentials. And had I KNOWN then to search for "Gozer the Gozerian", I would have seen the roughly 361,000 results, telling me "Hey... that's probably correct."
So don't blame my geek cred. Blame my 11-year old self. That guy can't remember shit.
