| 1207 | Article | Vaporman87 | WOW! 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. ;) | Sep 07, 2014 |  | |
| 4525 | Article | jkatz | Wow! 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 Victory | Aug 24, 2018 | |
| 3649 | Article | Superman | Wow! 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 Conundrum | Jan 01, 2017 | |
| 4944 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! 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 Games | May 29, 2019 | |
| 4631 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! 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! | Reviewing the Retro Soda Comebacks | Oct 22, 2018 | |
| 4994 | Article | Rabbitearsblog | Wow! That's a lot of Batman merchandise! I especially love the Bat Car and the comics! | Batman 1989 Movie Merchandise | Aug 01, 2019 | |
| 897 | Article | Vaporman87 | WOW! This is a really well done article, and it's obvious you spent a great deal of time putting it together. So thank you for that vkimo. One thing I picked up on right away is that, although our Christmas experiences were so different growing up, the spirit of it and the magic feeling of the season can be felt regardless. Having grown up and lived my entire life in an ultra small community, I can't relate to the splendor and awe of a place like San Fran during Christmas. Even so, I recognize that feeling from my own memories. It's something that transcends your environment and circumstances. I laughed at the insertion of Rain Man and the generic fat guy as stand ins for your relatives. LOL. Hilarious. Thanks for this vkimo. A great read! | A Yuletide Yakking | Dec 12, 2013 | |
| 4452 | Article | jkatz | Wow! Those are some great photos. I liked reading about the Wagon Train events as well. It must have been fun to spend summers with the same group of people each year. | Wagon Train Vacations | Jun 17, 2018 | |
| 4696 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! Very nicely done on the eagle-eye spotting of super sweet '80s toy goodness. I would love to have pretty much anything you spotted here. I have to commend the kid on his fascination with Bravestarr and MOTU. A true Filmation fanatic he must be. All that was missing was some Ghostbusters stuff - the original ones that is. | 80s Toy Movie Treasure Hunt: Mac and Me | Dec 03, 2018 | |
| 920 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! Where to begin? So much of what you have gone into here I can relate to. For starters, I can't agree with you enough regarding commercials during the Parade. Good grief, does there really need to be THAT many breaks in the action? I suppose if you had recorded it previously (as you mentioned), you could simply fast forward through the commercials... but it shouldn't have to be that way. Putting up the tree as a kid was not something we really did much as a family. Now that I have my own little family, we DO make it an occasion (especially the choosing of the tree and the star that will adorn the top). An what Christmas would be complete without the right television specials and films? When you're a child, it doesn't really matter what you're told or how you're taught... you are GOING to remain solely focused on presents. How can you not? So a kid can hardly be liable for not desiring to attend a church service in the midst of such excitement. And I say that as a Christian myself. Thankfully, the actual time for opening presents (and playing with them) and attending service rarely conflicted for me. Finally, I share your affinity for snow. During the beginning of this month, we were in Florida. It was so strange to see all the Christmas lights and hubbub in such a warm climate. I felt like something was missing. Then, in the Magic Kingdom, there are places and times when "fake" snow (consisting of clumped up bubbles) fall from the sky. I felt sad for those there that have never actually seen the real deal. That fake snow made me long for home and the real thing. Great first article SF! Thanks so much for sharing! | A White Christmas | Dec 18, 2013 | |
