3218ArticleNLogan@vkimo, mine were tattooed former airborne rangers at 6'6" and 6'4" respectively. One put us on his Harley Davidson motorcycle and wheelied scaring the crap out of me. The other had the nickname "Tree" and had his own slot machine one armed bandit that you could play. It never escalated beyond beating them at chess and losing to them in arm wrestles. By the time I could actually take them in high school I was heavily into martial arts and they were both in their late 50s. But I still remember the, "Say boy, c'mere lookit this". Dec 14, 2015View
4910ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo Yeah, Shelley Long can be an acquired taste, but her character in Troop Beverly Hills is a total 180 from Diane on Cheers. Much kinder and goofier, less self-seriousness.10 Best Cameos In Troop Beverly HillsApr 18, 2019View
4513ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo Yeah, it's hard to grasp all the tropes being satirized as a kid, it just seems like a fun fantasy adventure. UPDATE #2: I finally got my interview completed with the gentleman who worked for Topps in the 90s and worked on the never released LAH comic book insert trading cards. It's a doozy, so stay tuned.Last Action Hero Movie MerchandiseAug 13, 2018View
1696ArticleNLogan@vkimo what is really impressive is that neither of my parents could afford the presents they got me. My dad is a postal carrier and my mom a secretary. Now that I am an adult I wonder just how much debt they went into for those smiles on Christmas morning.NLogan's Retro ChristmasDec 19, 2014View
3585Articlemickyarber@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 RealDec 15, 2016View
1998ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo Oh, you got me! The funniest part was when I went to pick her up and mispronounced her name which had a very exotic, eastern European spelling. Her Mom just gave me this look like, "You're taking my daughter out and you can't even say her name right? Good luck!" just in case you were wondering she wasn't a high school girl or anything, with the living at home deal. It's not of THOSE Internet dating stories.Remembering RetroJunkFeb 13, 2015View
1638ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo I never knew you were such a Batman devotee. Did you attach this velcro bat-symbol or did you buy it that way? I am intrigued. @Vaporman87 glad you can back me up on this. Speaking of Batmania, there was a VHS that came out around this time called "Holy Batmania!" covering the phenomenon. My copy no longer plays, but I remember this segment of Adam West as Batman at some rinky-dink fan event giving it his all to entertain. It was sad and inspiring at the same time. Interesting that you had Mantis, he came at the end of the line when Kenner started throwing in lesser known characters, just because they had cool designs or making up new ones altogether. @thecrow174 Yeah, the return of Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters in '89 were just some the highlights, I wonder if we will get a year like that in the 21st century.

3661ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo Happy Trails, vkimo! As for which Gas Station, I'm sure it exploded in a Griswold related incident years ago. @RickAceRhodes That story needs to be fleshed out in an article. 7 hours for a 1 hour trip? That's an adventure! @Vaporman87 I've got plenty of new stuff in the hopper once the vintage articles are restored.Family Road TripsJan 04, 2017View
1924ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo "Husky" would have been more acceptable to me, now that I think about it. It's got a softer feel to it. @Vaporman87 I think everyone had that fat friend they picked on, that's why I wrote the article. So I think you're off the hook. I just happened to BE the fat kid, but I realize now that kids are just dumb and can't think of much else to say. "Your ability to style your hair is sub-par" just doesn't have the same ring as, "Hey, Chubb-o". I had a friend who also used my weight as a source of comedy in our audio cassette recordings of fake morning shows and sketches, needless to say I found other partners pretty quickly. In retrospect his weak comic insults were kind of pointless, since it's not a visual medium. Being The Fat KidFeb 09, 2015View
