4631ArticleVaporman87Wow! Nice review here. I have to say, I agree with just about all of your statements on these drinks. A couple things: Tab was something that only my grandma ever had in her fridge, and it was awful. But it was still better than the other option in there... Diet Rite. That stuff was like drinking a dead person. I regret to say that I've never had an Original New York Seltzer, so it seems I will have to rectify that. I enjoyed this funny and informative review. Keep it coming! Oct 22, 2018View
4944ArticleVaporman87Wow! I’ve not played any of these titles. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. Looks like I missed out on some fun play.Underrated NES GamesMay 29, 2019View
3649ArticleSupermanWow! I could really feel your poor brother's disappointment. I've never been gifted something someone mistakenly thought I wanted, but I'm sure the disappointment would be twice as bad than just plain not getting what you asked for. Incidentally, as both a Star Wars fan and a Nintendo lover, I can relate to both of your Christmas gift wishes.Christmas ConundrumJan 01, 2017View
4525ArticlejkatzWow! A video rental store in 2018 is rare enough...but one that still deals with vhs tapes? I don't think I need to tell you how lucky you guys were to find a place like this (even though I just kinda did). I would have loved to peruse that video catalog, looking for obscure B-movies.Rad Retro Weekend Part 3: Video Store VictoryAug 24, 2018View
1207ArticleVaporman87WOW! First of all, that furniture brings back a flood of nostalgia. Not just because we had all the same stuff filling up our house, but because I SOLD the stuff. Some of you may, or may not, know that prior to my business being strictly a propane business, we also had an entire furniture store (well, actually two) that lasted from the 50's until the 90's (when small furniture stores just started biting the dust). Seeing that furniture reminds me of my days standing around, waiting for somebody to walk in so I could put on my best "Goldberg" face and make a sale. My gosh... some of that stuff we had was just insane. Dining room suits were the worst. So much wood... thousands upon thousands of dollars for the good stuff. Giant, mammoth hutches and 15,000 leaf inserts to make your table big enough for the Duggars to eat at. Those were some interesting days. Then there are the electronics, which we also sold. Tube tvs that easily outweighed me, lifting them and moving them from one spot to another. shakin and I have discussed our fascination with the console televisions, with their wood cabinets and simple controls. Our first "big screen" television was one of the first to be commercially available... and it sucked. It was hidden inside a large wood cabinet. Then when you would turn the power on, it would lift up out of the cabinet and power on. If you tried watching from even the slightest angle, it just went black. LOL. You had to be DEAD ON centered to see anything. My friend and I watched many a Friday Night Videos episode on that screen. The clothes, of course I had them. My favorites being ones that I kept even until just recently (including a Spudz McKenzie shirt and an old Subway "Put a foot in your mouth" shirt. They had become so threadbare that my wife forced me to trash them. Also the armpit areas had become hard and crusty from all the years of deodorant coming in contact with them. LOL. And I had the toys for sure. While most of us might have suffered the fate of the poor sap who lost his sweet He-Man collection to you, I myself am to blame for my own losses. I willingly sold my He-Man collection and other toys at Garage Sales. Naturally I hate my pre-teen self now for committing such a blatantly stupid act. But hey, I wanted money for something. I have a feeling no Goodwill in my area is ever going to come close to offering the great stuff you've found here. More likely, they are going to be filled with beer t-shirts, crappy outdoor furniture, and hunting crap. Sadly, that's what you get for living in hickville. But at least I can live vicariously through vkimo. LOL And by the way, nice pic there at the end. ;) Retro ThriftingSep 07, 2014View
1009ArticleMissMWow, you have a very nice collection. I always have regretted never really collecting anything from Sailor Moon back then. I did like the series and everything that was really popular at that time. I also loved No Doubt too! (I still do) A nice article!Some of my First Sailor Moon Merchandise (bootlegs)Feb 18, 2014View
2540ArticleoniparWow, what a cool story! I wish I could remember how I got my first Nintendo, but I guess it was just a mundane occurrence for me. Loved reading this one, cheers!How I Got My NESAug 18, 2015View
4027Articletwcfan92Wow, we never had assemblies like that! All of ours were (if I remember correctly) no-name speakers. None of whom I remember.Awesome School Assembly MemoriesJul 28, 2017View

5583ArticleoniparWow, very comprehensive article, good stuff. I really didn't watch much Scooby Doo, even as a kid. One of these days I'll maybe go back and watch some. 5 Times Scooby-Doo Met Real MonstersJan 15, 2022View
