Mimi's Adventures in Miminton, Part 5 (or, yes, I'm still obsessively playing the soap opera otherwise known as Animal Crossing)

Although it's been a while since we last checked in on Mimi, Momo, Mumu and their lovely pal in the next town over, Leelee, not much has changed in either Miminton or Loompala.

For instance, the majority of the animals that call the above-mentioned hamlets home continue to harangue their human counterparts whenever and wherever they feel like it.

In the case of new-to-Miminton neighbor Snake, though, such negativity often is overlooked.

Tangy, below, also tends to get a pass thanks to the dimwittedness that's nearly as prevalent as her bitchiness.

Speaking of Tangy, she recently introduced Mimi and her minions to the wonderful world of wintertime igloos.

She also introduced them to the matchless joy that is making snowmen.

Momo, below, in particular can't get enough of the frigid figures--as evidenced by her showman garb and furniture.

Although most of Miminton's residents enjoy encountering a snowman around every bend, Freckles, below, isn't one of them. Unfortunately, everyone's favorite oddly coifed duck took out her frustrations on Leelee when she paid the burg a visit early in the month.

Actually, Leelee was lucky to get away with just a spit-drenched face and outfit. Her pal Momo, below, wasn't so fortunate. (Yes, Freckles punched her in the kisser--as she was putting the finishing touches on her 115th snowman of the season.)

Dear Harmonix: Please make a Lady Gaga version of this Dance Central ad for the US

Actually, I can't imagine enjoying a Lady Gaga version of the following ad even half as much as I enjoy the current, Kylie-fronted iteration, but Ms. Minogue probably isn't popular enough here in the States to make such an extravagant commercial worthwhile to the folks at Harmonix.



I'd ask for a Madonna version, but you know she'd never agree to such a thing. Even if she did, though, the folks behind the commercial surely would have to change up the story a bit, as La Ciccone would never allow herself to be locked in her dressing room like that.

Super Mario Meat

Speaking of Mario, the following t-shirt design is up for a vote (here, for the next seven days) at threadless.com.

Lest you should think the shirt was inspired by the meat dress Lady Gaga wore to the recent MTV Video Music Awards show, designer JFish says:

"I get really hungry when I play Super Mario Bros. Sometimes I get so hungry I imagine Mario is made out of my favorite meats. In this example, he’s made out of a t-bone steak, prosciutto, mortadella (with pistachios), bacon, sausage, salami and capicola. His mouth is a small smooth chunk of pimento."

The gayest (Dragon Quest IX) party ever

The only way my Dragon Quest IX party (below) could be any gayer is if it included Babs, Cher, Judy or Lady Gaga.

My diva-licious Dragon Quest IX party (clockwise from the upper-left corner):
Madonna, Utada, Beyonce and Janet.

Actually, I would have included the first three if I had thought of it--as any of them would be a worthwhile replacement for Utada, who I adore but who really isn't a gay icon.

I thought of including Lady Gaga but decided against it because without the ability to give her a big schnoz she'd look just like Madonna--and that ain't right.

But will it include "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Neigh)"?

According to the always-on-the-ball crew over at gamesetwatch.com, Ubisoft recently registered a trademark for Horse Gaga.

Around the same time, the French developer and publisher registered the following domain name: HorseGaga.com.

Is Ubisoft working on a title that will combine its Horsez franchise with the gay icon formally known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta? I sure hope so.

BTW, head over to gamesetwatch.com to see a hilarious Horse Gaga cover mock-up.

I'd probably buy this if someone made it ...

"This" being a game called Cooking Gaga.

Sadly, the game is just the figment of some artist's imagination as of now.
