Holiday Gift Guide: New Moon Home of the Cullens
Twilight New Moon fans who have a buck or two or 3.3 million lying around can own the Cullen’s home used in the movie. If you always wanted a winter getaway in West Vancouver to celebrate the Holidays then you must act now before this 5000 sq ft, five bedroom beauty is gone.
Learn the Electric Slide from Microsoft
Um, yeah this is so cool? Employees at the Microsoft Store in California bust out the electric slide in the store during working hours. So if you ever wanted to learn this classic, just watch.
I don’t know about you, but I suddenly feel the urge to buy Windows 7! Or not…
2009 Word of the Year: Unfriend
The New Oxford American Dictionary has named its 2009 Word of the Year, and it is “unfriend.”
unfriend – verb – To remove someone as a “friend” on a social networking site such as Facebook.
That wasn’t already a word? Unfriend beat out contenders like netbook, tramp stamp, and tweetup.

Facebook Better Than Sex?!
In the realm of search terms, yes, searching for “facebook” is now more popular than looking up the term “sex.”
Recent Promos
Some recent promotions I’ve seen or heard about.
- Buffmama.org. Saw the Buffmama mobile driving around, so I had to look it up. Buffmama is a personalized fitness trainer whose motto is “It’s not as hard as you think.”
- Knockouts Haircuts for Men. Coming to Hawaii soon I suppose since there’s a truck driving around emblazoned with the Knockouts logo and models.
- Who Is John Scott? You read the story about the 74-year old guy slapping stickers around that ask “Who is John Scott?” If I ever start making “What is Pulpconnection?” stickers, someone please stop me.
Word of the Day: Fauxcast
Here’s my fictitious word of the day, fauxcast. It means “a completely inaccurate weather forecast.”
Isn’t Hawaii under a flash flood advisory right now? It’s gorgeous blue skies and sunny outside. The meteorologist must have given a fauxcast.
Get it? Soon to be published at UrbanDictionary.com.
I Heart Twilight, Jacob, and Taylor Lautner
…if the Google Analytics stats for Pulpconnection indicate anything. See what I mean?
Of the recent top ten keywords, seven of them relate to Twilight, Jacob, and Taylor Lautner (and his underwear). I’m kinda surprised that Seth Sundberg aka Franco Metcalf made the list.
Oh by the way, New Moon rises on November 20, 2009.

Made yourself in to a dancing Christmas elf recently? No? Good think ElfYourself is back! More dances and up to five elves.

If Mark Dacascos Were a Starbucks Drink…
He’d be a tall, skinny Peppermint Mocha Twist! A refreshingly cool, mocha complexioned, non-fat drink with a kick. The only question then is would the drink be cool or hot?
Be sure to vote for Mark and his temporary partner, Anna Trebunskaya, as Lacey recovers from the flu.
