Let’s get romanitcal.

So it is almost February…which I am deeming the month of love. After which you can go back to resenting your significant other, or to being extremely alone and cynical. Anyway this blog is going to have a theme…can you guess it… if you thought ‘superior intelligence’ and ‘witty charming goodness’ you were right by default but no. Anyway I am going to throw a wrench in the system by saying that Feb 14 is no longer Valentines day…and because of the “witty charming goodness’ bit you buy it.

So it’s what Jan 29… and I say bring on the love!

First on the theme of Looooove you can go here myspace.com/thetinamarlinincident and read the blog called ‘First kisses- swap some spit’ OMG!!! Did I just name drop myself…indeed I did.

Next.

The thing on everyone’s mind I’m sure…is what wedge would make the best mate. And by mate I mean other half…significant other…etc. etc. What I don’t mean is the verb form of mate… everyone knows that wedges don’t have reproductive organs –cringe. ANYWAY I digress. Okay best mate award, for me, would have to go to Octo who can both hold your hand and hold the door at the same time.



Come back for more love. We’ll be here all month. [note: the ‘we’ is 50% me and 50% my ‘LOVE’ at the end of the month I am the part of the 50% that isn’t going anywhere…}

Let’s Play a Few Rounds of ‘Would you Rather’

The game where everyone is a winner! Well maybe not everyone –I mean if you’re already a loser the game can’t really change that. Although you are here which means there is hope for you yet!

Would you rather be punched in the trachea or buy a wedge? [not sure what a trachea is go here: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-trachea.htm] –And SPEAKING OF… -the speaking of refers to the wedges purchasing not tracheas- thanks to those who came out to City of Craft!!!

Would you rather be paper cut by a 1000 envelops licked by some guy who holds the record for the longest days without brushing his teeth OR read this blog right now?

Would you rather learn jujitsu from Octo OR Chuck Norris? Okay no wait that’s not fair. Ummm….would you rather cuddle with a plush Octo OR Chuck Norris? (I just want to make it clear to everyone that the answer shouldn’t be Chuck Norris. Not sure who Chuck Norris is- check your pulse. Then go here: http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ finding it hard to answer this question? Then go here: http://web4health.info/)

Anyway if you promise to come back and visit I promise to love you unconditionally like a mom does a small child. Only with the awkwardness of knowing that we are neither related nor in all likelihood are you actually a small child.

Countdown to Fan Expo 2008 - DAY 2

Introducing Octo! Octo is a Sea Wedge. He works at a stop sign factory at the bottom of the ocean. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and has completed several certification courses above and beyond his regular workload. He is trained in the use of precision laser cutting devices. He's big on lasers in general. One of Octo's life goals is to have lasers mounted on his tentacles and to become a crime fighting ninja octopus. A Ninjoctopos.

Octo has either 8 arms, or 6 arms and two legs, depending on who you ask. At any rate, Octo tends to favour his 4th arm for table tennis (4th and 6th when playing pairs solo) but he's generally quite ambidextrous.

Did you know that Octopuses are ridiculously intelligent? They can open jars and escape from any aquarium that is not locked down like Fort Knox. There have been reports at zoos of Octopuses that have escaped from their aquariums, slurped across the floor to their feeder aquarium, and gorged themselves on fish. If that wasn't enough, they then knew enough to break back in to their own tank to avoid getting into trouble. This blows my mind and makes me want an Octopus as a pet, except that that is the worst idea I have ever had.

Les Fruits De La Mer!

This morning when you woke up and immediately refreshed wearewedges.com, you may have noticed something new.

SEA WEDGES!

Octo is an octopus!
Squido is a squid!
Sluggo is a sea snail!

Which is your favourite? Did you know that Squido has 2 more tentacles than Octo, so a bit of an edge there. But Octo works works in a stop sign factory, which is pretty random/awesome. And Sluggo is named Sluggo! It's so hard to choose!

Sea Wedges aren't in the online shop yet, but will be varrrrry soon. However, they are for sale at our summer shows and events starting right...now! Speaking of summer events, watch for more SUPER EXCITING news soon about upcoming events. Seriously, SUPER EXCITING.)

ps. Did you know Brent Spiner is going to be at FanExpo Toronto this year?

pps. Brent freaking Spiner!
