The first New Year’s Eve ball, from way back in 1907, constructed by Jacob Starr. Alright kids, it’s that time of year again. We’ve invited all those uncouth hooligans from Hooniverse over to join in the revelry, so it’s time to let our hair down. This is the Official AtomicToasters – Hooniverse New [...] From our band of misfits to your family, may you find the droids you’re looking for. 
Since it is the holiday season, we can’t let the weekend pass without remembering some Christmas film favorites. Yesterday The Professor gave us some great vintage toons, and today, as a treat, we have Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, a sci fi classic from 1964. The plot, if that sort of thing matters to you, involves a Martian bid to make disgruntled their children happier, that results in them kidnapping Santa from Earth… According to the Public Domain Review blog, this nugget regularly makes ‘Worst Movie Ever’ lists, and has been sent up repeatedly on such shows as MST3K and Cinematic Titanic. With endorsements like that, you can’t go wrong, so take a little time out of your last minute shopping and enjoy! It’s that time of year again… For those of you who may have missed it over on our sister site, Hooniversal Secret Ninja-Claus is back on again. You have until tomorrow to get your name into the pot if you’d like to participate. There are two ways to ensure you’re going to be [...]
One of the greatest holidays is upon us. It’s time to stress out over what to get Aunt Mildred and dream of what we would like to receive. As the great 21st century philosopher Sheldon Cooper said, “I know you think you’re being generous, but the foundation of gift giving is reciprocity. You haven’t given me a gift, you’ve given me an obligation. The essence of the custom is that I now have to go out and purchase for you a gift of commensurate value and representing the same perceived level of friendship as that represented by the gift you’ve given me. Ah, it’s no wonder suicide rates skyrocket this time of year.” Happy Thanksgiving! [Image Credit: Banyan Communications via Flavorwire] Nah, you better not. Pussies… I hope everyone is prepared for all of the little disguised mooches tonight. I’m following tradition again this year and turning off my lights and turning on my gravel (not lawn) sprinklers. With luck it’s supposed to rain tonight [...] What an incredible year that must have been! Science unbridled by the restraint of humanity and without concern for legal ramifications of building on work performed by other, more successful inventors. [Image Credit: Fake Science] 
This upcoming week marks both Independence Day for the good old USA on the 4th, as well as Canada Day (Today!) on July 1st (celebrations subject to movement to Monday for reasons of missing work). I don’t know how things roll up in the Great North, but down in these parts we love explosions. That means it’s time for some bi-annual fireworks fun! So let’s take a look at some vintage fireworks packaging illustrations from an extensive collection I came across recently. Happy celebrations to everyone, whatever flavor you prefer! |

It’s that time of year again when the staff ’round these parts tend to get a little bit even more drunk than usual. Content will be light to non-existant until the new year as we put up with visit our families, yell at inanimate objects, eat things that will make us fat(ter), and [...]
