Monster Pops 2007-08-02 19:07:52 If there’s one thing that really scratches my CD, it’s not being able to find information online about food that was made in the 80s! This much I do know: there was a brand of popsicles (cherry, orange, grape, etc.) that were molded like Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein. I believe there was a 4th monster, [...]

Nintendo Classics 2007-08-01 11:50:43 What is it about the Nintendo
Entertainment System that even to this day, plays a large part in our lives? Is there anything else on the planet earth that can rival the nostalgia factor of this console? Nay, I say to thee. Nintendo will always be around based on the brand loyalty alone that systems [...]

Rambo: The Force of Freedom! 2007-07-10 15:15:56 “Anywhere and everywhere the S.A.V.A.G.E. forces of General Warhawk threaten the peace-loving people of the world, there’s only one man to call.”
Get me…
The year was 1986. The Cold War was in full effect, hair metal band Poison was starting to make some waves, G.I. Joe was an extremely popular cartoon/toy line, the Reagan/Bush Regime was [...]

Christmas in July 2007-07-10 14:08:47 So it’s July 5, 2007, and Christmas
is on my mind. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Christmas. Is it because I’m so religious? Not really. Is it because I feel that my fiancée and family owe it to me to deliver every DVD set I can dream of come the morning of [...]
The Ultimate Question 2007-08-05 14:11:39 Mankind has been plagued by numerous questions…
The chicken or the egg? What is the meaning of life? Why can’t the Coreys be in the Lost Boys sequel? Why did Shane McMahon get so much offense against Bobby Lashley?
But there is ONE QUESTION that simply MUST be answered:
Which is better, the yellow-neck Rattlor or the red-neck [...]

DVD Buys 2007-08-08 12:47:23 If you know me, you know I LOVE buying DVDs. Unfortunately, ever since leaving my last job for a meager retailer’s paycheck, I haven’t been able to get as much as I want (there’s LOADS of WWE stuff I still need). But, every now and then a good paycheck comes along with very few bills, [...]
High Tech Misfit 2007-08-06 19:26:25 YEAH! Just put the finishing touches on my new Dell computer (installing & connecting the newly arrived router and wireless keyboard/mouse). I feel a great sense of accomplishment and there were no major hurdles to overcome during the process. Which makes me wonder… What bad thing is going to happen tomorrow?
Anyway, it’s good [...]
Growing Up With Ice Cream 2007-08-09 21:56:02 So old man Bayne was talking to me earlier about a new ice cream that sounds delicious. Pretzels & ice cream! Why not? Pretzels already work with yogurt. So that got me thinking about ice cream, and ice cream I grew up loving, in particular.
So with summer coming to close, here’s a look back at the frozen treats [...]

G.I. Joe Review (DiC Series) - Season 1, Episode 9 2007-08-14 00:30:56 Our story starts out with three different Joe teams in Washington, D.C., lying in wait for Cobra to make their move for the U.S. Constitution. Why are they stealing the Constitution? It’s not really explained, but ransom, demoralization of our country, and just generally not being nice are all good reasons for them to do [...]

DVD Buys Part 2: (Or How I Spent My Paycheck) 2007-08-11 22:47:10 Okay, I broke down and picked out three more DVDs today:
Captain N: The Game Master - The Complete Series
Sweet like bear meat! I’ve been craving this set ever since I heard of the release. It brings back memories of when NBC actually used to have saturday morning cartoons. Hm, I wonder if Wish Kid will ever [...]

Join the Steel Brigade today! 2007-08-18 22:55:28 One surefire way to get the kids emotionally (and financially) invested in a toy line is to have special offers that place them in the very same universe as their heroes. Marvel did it with a Captain Universe comic book years ago ($14.95, and yes, I WAS Captain Universe), but prior to that, Hasbro offered [...]

The Lost Weekend 2007-08-18 13:28:41 We’re in the second half of August, and yesterday & today (Hey kids, remember Y&T– the band?) it seems we’re getting just a sample of fall weather. Instead of 90s and high 80s, we’re now in low 70s/high 60s. With this morning probably dropping to around 60 or so. It’s even cloudy! And as we all know, a [...]

Mountain Dew Game Fuel! 2007-08-16 19:50:11 So, being the sucker that I am for gimmick sodas, I tried out Mountain
Dew’s latest “limited edition” creation– Game Fuel, last night at work. The label features Halo 3, so I take it you’re supposed to suck these back while playing endless hours of the game. Which
The drink itself is okay. It’s supposed to be [...]
Commercial Cavalcade 2007-08-19 22:18:36 Commercials. You can’t get enough of’em.
Thunder Punch He-Man
The Greatest He-Man Figure of All Time IS Thunder Punch He-Man. This actually isn’t the commercial I remember for it, but then I’ve never had the greatest memory, so it’s definitely possible this is the ONLY Thunder Punch He-Man commercial. In my version, there was lots of lightning [...]

They Shouldn’t Exist: 10 Lame G.I. Joe Action Figures 2007-08-22 14:17:08 G.I. Joe? Sure, we love it. I had the tent, canteen, wallet, bedroom slippers, etc. The cartoon rocked, and the toys were great. But what about the dark side of G.I. Joe? What about the side that sucks? And no, I’m not talking about G.I. Joe: The Movie (hey, it was a bit too sci-fi [...]

Cobra wants YOU! 2007-08-27 18:25:36 The year was 1993. G.I. Joe had been handing Cobra
their rattlesnake butts from the past 10+ years. It was the original “Decade of Destruction”, regardless of what the WWE hype machine said about the Undertaker.
The run-of-the-mill Cobra officers, vipers, and B.A.T.s just weren’t cutting it. So Cobra went into overdrive trying to find and [...]

King Koopa… Children’s Television Icon? 2007-08-26 21:53:01 Hronmeer’s Ghost !!!
King Koopa’s Kool Kartoons? KING KOOPA’S KOOL KARTOONS ?! He really is evil! I mean, stealing princesses is one thing, but when you start hosting a show that pushes cartoons starring cigarettes… Oh wait. Not that kinda Kool?
Well, this King Koopa show may not be quite as evil as marketing cancer sticks to [...]

Well, I do. And apparently, so do the fine people who make the TGI Friday

Not that there’s any TRUE relationship between the two snacks, but hey, don’t be such a blogkill. No, my friends, these *NEW* TGI Friday’s Cheese

Halloween Junk Food 2007-10-01 19:53:16 Okay, so today was a good day. It rained and/or was dark & gloomy all day long, which is a great way to kick off October! It sets the proper mood for the fall, Halloween

AMC’s MonsterFest! 2007-10-05 14:39:53 MonsterFest. It used to be the end-all be-all of horror movie marathons in October. This was mostly due to the showing of the Universal Monster movies, but AMC hasn’t shown those in years. What...
