| 1759 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've received some pretty disappointing gifts on my birthdays. Typically they were clothing items (which I DESPISED getting for any occasion outside of purposefully accompanying a parent into a store for that sole reason). However, the most disappointment I ever remember feeling after having received a gift was an elementary school Christmas gift exchange. I remember seeing my friends opening gifts that I thought were pretty neat, and hoping I too got a good one. But the person who had drawn my name was one of the less fortunate students, and his gift was naturally that of a child in his predicament. Used and dirty. I think it was a Star Wars action figure (at least that was the scale of it, the Kenner 3 3/4" figs). Out of the package, terribly used, and in a plain brown box with tape keeping it closed. Much as I tried to hold it back, the tears came forth. I felt embarrassment that I was the only one in my class with such a gift. As a child, it's difficult to understand why something better could not be afforded. I wish I could have a redo on that and just show some appreciation... rise above the embarrassment. But what's done is done. | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 05, 2015 | |
| 1761 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Thanks for breaking the post-holiday article drought. This was a great read, as usual. I hated those learn a skill books with a passion. One year I got the Klutz Juggling book, I wanted to play, not learn to entertain at other kids birthdays. My Mom's boyfriend got me trilobite excavation kits or other science junk birthday presents for years. At the end of their relationship he finally wised up and got me an album full of 8x10 vintage KISS publicity photos, but it was too little too late for me to put in a good word for him. Should have been buying me comics, dude. Oh and loved seeing the Geoffrey cash, I miss that stuff. Now a Toys R Us savings bond, that would have been something to get excited about! | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 06, 2015 | |
| 1765 | Article | comic_book_fan | i remember when i was in kindergarten we had one of those gift exchange things and my mom bought the present for me to give to him and his mom bought the present for him to give to me and it turned out the present my mom bought for him was a really cool spiderman action figure and i totally wanted to keep it and what his mom bought for him to give to me was a really cool cyborg arm thing that he wanted to keep but we had to exchange so it at the time we both thought it kind of sucked. | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 07, 2015 | |
| 1766 | Article | Vaporman87 | @cbf: I think I would have tried to work out a deal where you "re-exchanged" the gifts after the passage of a little time. LOL. Of course, you would want to hide those gifts from your moms. Unless you just said "Hey... he said I could borrow it." | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 07, 2015 | |

| 1768 | Article | Vaporman87 | EXCELLENT!!! Darn you Hoju, you have tread on hallowed "retro" ground and I'm extremely jealous. I would have done the exact same road trip with the whole family, given the chance. That is just awesome. Bill and Ted made history just a little bit cooler than it once was for the remaining 3 years of my high school life, following the release of the movie. Suddenly I found myself looking up history on all these characters (excluding Abraham Lincoln), because I had never paid much attention prior to that (you only memorize stuff for tests, then it fades into obscurity like every other piece of knowledge you'll never need). My friend is an avid Con attendee, and he had the opportunity to meet and chat with Alex Winter (whom he said looked the same today as in '89). He had mentioned that a new film was in the works and that Keanu was on board with it, but who knows if that will ever surface. As for places nearby caught on film, there isn't much to speak of here in no man's land. Even so, it's not completely devoid of filming locations. Here in Rutland, our streets and buildings have been caught by the camera for documentaries and specials pertaining to the infamous Skatopia skate park. Not something we're proud of. But just a few miles away, in Point Pleasant, WV, many television shows and documentaries have been made regarding The Mothman. Most famously referred to in the Richard Gere movie, The Mothman Prophecies (though no filming for that movie was done in the actual town it happened in... seriously, why do they do that?) | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 07, 2015 | |
| 1769 | Article | echidna64 | I adore this article. It is amazing how many places are still "the same" i.e. the Chinese place | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 08, 2015 | |
| 1770 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Why did you give Lincoln the cold shoulder during your history boom? You got something against stove pipe hats? @echidna64 Glad you dig it. Small correction: Excellent Adventure was actually filmed in 1987, not '88 like I stated. | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 08, 2015 | |
