The Sound of the Funny: The Vocal Chord Wiz Behind âDougâsâ Theme Beat
Start humming the opening theme to Nickelodeon's classic “Doug,” and any self-respecting '90s kid will surely join right in. Fred Newman, the man behind the doo-doo-doo's, didn't just give his improvised snap-and-pop to the show's theme and soundscape, though: he was also the voice of Skeeter, Porkchop, Mr. Dink, and the lead singer of the Beets. Having also worked on "Gremlins," "Harry and the Hendersons," and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," Fred is a true legend of the voiceover game. His advice after a lifetime of making sounds? "Whatever makes you weird, go there and pursue that." Thanks, Fred. We salute you...(Read...)

Xenomorph Eggs Want to Scramble Your Insides
I’ve wondered why in every Alien movie why exactly the people walk into a creepy room filled with weird cantaloupe looking things and immediately put their face over it for a nice long gander?

Easter is right around the corner and if you are looking for some eggs to celebrate with for your favorite geek, here they are. You’ll get a 6-count carton of Alien Xenomorph glow-in-the-dark eggs. Three of them are unopened, but the other three have facehuggers ready to inseminate your chest.
The eggs are 3″ tall and 2″ in diameter. The set of six eggs will cost you $24.99(USD) and they come in a fancy black egg crate with a cool Alien warning label that sticks over the original egg label.
