| 3582 | Article | mickyarber | Yeah, it really should be all about the giving, and I have what I feel is a pretty deep appreciation for that aspect of the season now. The bottom line of this article must have gotten cut off. Where it says "Stay tuned for an article going into more detail"....it should read "Stay tuned for an article going into more detail about all of those presents of 1986." Weird. | Dec 15, 2016 |  | |
| 3585 | Article | mickyarber | @vkimo thanks for the compliment on the formatting. I put some time into the pics. And yes, my old man really is the genuine article. You could ask him about this stuff now, and he'd just brush it off. Hate to hear that you missed out on these awesome toys of the 80s. I just can't imagine there will be anything that could ever top G.I. Joe for versatile fun. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 15, 2016 | |
| 3586 | Article | mickyarber | @Rick Ace Rhodes I've tried to take a lot of commercialism out of our family Christmases, but it is all around us so much, it's really hard to get rid of it completely. Last year we tried something in our house where we did just one present. One for each kid, and one for the wife and I. I thought it would make us really think of the perfect gift, but some of us cheated and stuffed multiple items into one box and called it one gift. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 15, 2016 | |
| 3590 | Article | mickyarber | @Hoju I wish I had titled my article that....Son of Santa Claus! @NLogan Sounds like an awesome picture to bust out and embarras a few people with! | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 16, 2016 | |
| 3593 | Article | mickyarber | @Sock Yeah, the Snake Mountain Challenge was pretty cool. It took me several years to be able to find pictures of it online just to be able to remember the exact name of it. The car that came with it was one of my favorites in m collection for years growing up. I'd like to find one of it now in pristine condition to add to my new collection. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 17, 2016 | |
| 3595 | Article | mickyarber | I don't know how I missed commenting on this last year when it was new, but I love this article. This is really what nostalgia is at it's heart. There are a lot of traditions around Christmas are luckily still alive and well around our house. Like I have a rule that no one opens a present until everyone has had breakfast....just like my Dad insisted on when I was a kid. My wife grew up with her grandparents making Pillsbury Orange Sweet Rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning, so we keep that going as well. So in these modern times, no one opens a present until everyone has had an orange sweet roll. But I love hearing about traditions in other people's lives, especially those involving Christmas. This article hits a nice place deep inside. Glad you shared it. | Christmas Memories: Traditions Come and Gone | Dec 18, 2016 | |
| 3598 | Article | mickyarber | This is a really good nostalgia piece, and there was a lot to digest. Since there was a lot to digest, there is a lot to comment on, so bear with me while I hit some of the highlights: - Hot Wheels always made great Christmas gifts, and you seemed to hit the jackpot with the specific ones you got! I had each and everyone of the cars featured in the 5 pack and 6 pack you show here, so I'm betting I got both of those packs at some point in life. I think I got more use out of the "Larry's Towing" white tow truck than any of the the other cars. - My older brother was the one fortunate enough to have that sweet How Wheels Sto and Go Service Center play set. He was always a scrooge with it, and I never got to touch it really until he out grew toys and it sort of became a hand me down. - All of your personal pictures in this article are great btw, but at the moment I was looking at the one of you setting up to play Catapults and Crossbows. It's cool you actually got to play the game. I had saved up allowance money at some point and bought it, but never once found anyone to play it with. I had to settle for setting it all up and playing the role of both players :( - That picture of the fried bologna sandwich looks incredible. Growing up in the south I can tell you there is no more traditional lunch time food than a bologna sandwich. If it's fried, then it becomes a delicacy. - I always preferred the Franco-American brand of canned pastas over Chef Boyardee. SpaghettiOs are the cadillac of canned pasta. - I like the little tale of your Grandma saying that the monsters helped out around the place and a bite of cookie was a small price to pay for their help. My grandma would make up little tidbits like this all the time that would keep us grandkids discussing the possibility of it being real for days. - The silver tree in that one picture is the spitting image of the one my grandmother used all the way up until she passed away in 2006! I love those old trees. To some, they may seem tacky, but to me and the memories I have of it at my grandmas tree, I say they are priceless. - All my life, I can't recall a Christmas season when there wasn't a blue tin of those danish style butter cookies sitting on the counter. Even as I type this, there is a tin of them sitting on my own counter. This was a really fun look back at some early 80's toys and such. Thanks a lot for bringing so much detail to it. I've really enjoyed it. It's been a great way to spend some time. Merry Christmas my friend. | NLogan's Christmas at Grandma's House | Dec 18, 2016 | |
| 3613 | Article | mickyarber | You've hit the nail on the head here talking about the "other" side of Christmas. Like I wrote in an old article, for years and years I always put on my wish list a rock tumbler and a chemistry set that I saw in the Sears Wish Book, but I never got them. On the flip side, I usually got things I liked from relatives. I didn't have many that I got stuff from, but the ones I did, did a pretty good job. | Christmas 64 | Dec 20, 2016 | |
| 3726 | Article | mickyarber | Great article, and great list of names. There are more great ones who never won one CM Punk and guys who never even appeared in one like Sting. Ive got an article coming on the Rumbles history as well. | 8 Great Wrestlers Who Never Won The Royal Rumble | Feb 06, 2017 | |
| 3777 | Article | mickyarber | Charleston candy had ads in comic books for years. I have some books from the 60's that have ads in them for Charleston. And I have books from the 70's, 80's, and 90's that also have them in them. They must have gotten great returns on the investment or they wouldn't have promoted in comic books for over 30 years. Fun article. You know I love food stuff AND comic book ads, so this tickled my sweet spot. | Marvel Comics Food Ads of the 90's | Feb 24, 2017 | |
