U-Haul Sucks!

This is a place holder for my anger, when I calm down and can express my anger and frustration with U-Haul in a family friendly manner I will update this post, in the mean time DO NOT RENT FROM U-HAUL, they will rip you off!

We need more great crab raps, but not crab rappers!

As you might imagine with the Palaba's Post HQ located in lovely Baltimore Maryland, we love us some steamed crabs! I realize most of the country does not share our joy, but we know the people in Camden County sure do! And not just New Jersey, Missouri, Georgia or North Carolina, no I'm speaking of all the lovable folks of My Name Is Earl. (We love Earl too, just not as much as crabs.) Crabman, Randy, and crew (Yes Earl too) shot this music video expressing their deep admiration and respect for that delicious crustacean.

So Check out the video Here
And if you can't get enough Earl, Wikipedia has a great Wiki for his list Here

Scare the crap out of your friends!

Ok This is one of the most fun pieces of marketing I've seen in a minute. Check out the site SliceoflifeTV.com, there is a little prank you can play on your unsuspecting loved ones, while at the same time do a little advertising for Showtime's Dexter. (I've never seen Dexter or really herd anything about it, so if you've seen it let me know what's up in the comments.) All you need to do is head over to SliceoflifeTV.com enter you victim's e-mail address and Name, answer a few questions and the rube of your choice will receive an e-mail from you with a link to a fake news story. The fake news story tells of a serial killer in Miami who is not so subtlety targeting your prank victim. I recommend sending it to yourself first so you can see in what context the answers to your questions appear, but it's some great Halloween fun so what are you waiting for? When your done come back and tell me how your victim reacted.

A new Captian America!

Before I get started I feel the need to tell you that I have not always been the biggest Capitan America fan. As a kid I thought he was kinda corny. Not until the Ultimate redo of the Avengers into The Ultimates in Marvel's Ultimate Universe did he start to Ultimately grow on me. (?) I liked the view as a super soldier again I thought Cap was too one dimensional Follow the flag right or wrong, which I suppose is what a "good soldier" does. I always like to see him in battle though, flinging that shield and disshin' out some grade A but kicking. So I really start getting into Cap and the whole "Civil War" thing starts over in the Marvel U, and what comes next? The go and kill Capitan America or Steve Rodgers that is. I think he's been "dead" before, there have been other people filling his shoes (Really though, why is U.SA.gent still wearing that I wanna be cap outfit and calling himself U.S.Agent while running around saving Canada? I know If I was told that my country needed Capitan Maple Leaf or Mr. Mexico to defend it, I'd been insulted.) So the Capitan America book has been really good since Steve-o kicked the bucket, and now as we all knew they would they've found a replacement. I don't know who's behind the mask and Marvel isn't telling. But by the look of the pic's they put up Cap is again Caucasian, ruling out Sam Wilson aka the Falcon, who I was rooting for. I wonder what it does to those Will Smith as Cap in the next movie roomers? Oh and I guess some people are upset over the gun. Well the rest of the world thinks Americans are a little to gun crazy, so I guess it fits. According to the article over at Marvel Alex Ross git the inspiration form the 1940's movie serial. I must say I'm not sure about the shiny outfit but time will tell. What do you think of the new duds? Let us know in the comments...

Check out this Tokyo Party Boat

Check out this party boat I spotted over at Gizmodo. It's the Jicoo "Floating Bar". They call themselves a "Floating Bar" but we have a few here in the Baltimore Harbor we call Party Boats. Anyway, I'm going to try and get one of out Japan corrispondents to check it out and mabie get some Video. The bar cost ¥2,500 or $21.30 and includes your first drink, so I think we can work it into the Palaba's Post budget this month, but only if they take the train home. Drinking, driving and boating is way too much in any language. So if you'r trying to check out the secinic view of Tokyo from the bay, the boat leaves Hinode Pier every hour. The Hinode Pier is a short walk drom Hinode station on the Yurikamome line from the Shinbashi station, or so I've been told. Or call them yourself at 0120-49-490

Here's some more picks

This is just too funny!
Honestly the funniest thing I've seen on SNL since, well since they started to suck.

The flight of the X-Wing

Well here is the result of the X-wing we showed you earlier. It didn't go too well for the X-Wing, I can only wonder what happened to R2. I was however happy to see one of my other favorite "Wings" make an appearance, the Y-Wing. Neither "Wings" got too far, but the launch looks great! Also there another rocket shaped uh, rocket that did quite well, only bashing my hopes that maybe just this once that Star-Wars physics could beat out out actual science. But than I remember I'm in the real world and am thankful my boss can't shoot electricity from his fingers. (Video contains mild language)
