  • The Nike NOT Christmas Pack Christmas Sneakers

    Since writing the definitive recap of the five years of Nike’s Christmas Pack, this site has been inundated with traffic associated with searches for… why people in the United States say cheers instead of goodbye. And by “inundated,” I mean “a couple hundred visits at most per month.” But, like Shackleton, by endurance we conquer, […]

  • The Nike Basketball Christmas Pack 2010-2015. An Overview.

    What?! They have Christmas sneakers now? Yep. Kids these days. Seems like they could use some holiday opinion-ing. Nike’s basketball branch has been releasing a “Christmas Pack” every year since 2010. Each of their “signature” athletes gets a Christmas colorway. From 2010, that’s been Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. Though he had a “Christmas” […]

  • Here’s the Phillies 2012 Stars & Stripes Hat (Minus any Stars & Stripes)

    As has been the pattern since 2008, Major League Baseball will be using special hats for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and September 11 as part of their “Stars & Stripes” program. Mixing the design up every year, they’re actually eschewing the namesake “stars and stripes,” replacing them with a digital camouflage pattern. (Let me say […]

  • UniDiction 2011: Week 16 – Eagles vs. Cowboys and Week 15 Round-Up

    follow me on twitter (@dancfuller) Again, the Eagles one, I won. Good deal. Week 15 Round-Up A little more uniform action in Week 15 than we’ve seen in a while. The Chargers wore their powder blue throwbacks, which are better than the normal Chargers uniforms, but like some of the other (loud) throwbacks (Bucs, I’m […]

  • Z2K9 — The Day the Music Froze During the Loading Screen

    Update 1/1/2009: All better. The thing “fixed” itself. I was this close to composing a strongly worded letter written under only natural light. In the time between beginning this post and finishing it, it looks like Microsoft formally announced a solution to the issue, the always exciting “it’ll fix itself tomorrow.” Of course, that doesn’t […]

  • The 2006 Fuller Christmas Letter

    Look, we have a new design! If there are any issues with this new layout, please (please, please) leave a comment so I can fix it. It looks fine on my computer, but maybe it doesn’t on yours. Please let us know what you think – Positive, Negative, Who Cares – in the comments section […]

  • Christmas 2005

    Be sure to check out Nate’s review of Christmas cards that this review “posted over” tonight. Sorry Nate, I’m just trying to take care of the Christmas Night Media Blitz. One more down, and lots more to go. It’s not like I hate Christmas, it’s just that I’m a good number of years away from […]

  • Christmas Cards

    Worst. Christmas. Card. Ever. I’m taking a little break in my continuing series of reviews on my collection of Nintendo games, but fear not, I still have some doozies to share. That’s right. I just said “Doozy”. I didn’t send out Christmas cards last year. It was kinda a big deal because the year before, […]

  • Dan’s review of The Myth of Christmas Starting Earlier Every Year

    Dan prefers to think the Nessie does exist, because there’s no proof that it doesn’t. Here we go again. It seems as though, once again, my opinion is wrong and has been invalidated by our site’s speech-impairing oppressor, the same man who makes up words like “opinionary” for use in his reviews. The opinion in […]
