| 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! | Oct 22, 2018 |  | |
| 4632 | Article | vkimo | Finally got a chance to sit down and take a look at this gem! Rocky Point sounds like a awesome spot! In California we didn't have much for spooky haunts save for the Winchester Mystery House - but PA seems to have dozens. I'd like to see a picture of your house decorated. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Oct 23, 2018 | |

| 4634 | Article | jkatz | I only know about Tab from a Simpsons episode("All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a Tab."), I've never seen it in real life yet. One soda I wish they'd really bring back, even temporarily, is Josta. It had the coolest logo ever and was kinda like Dr. Pepper with extra caffeine. | Reviewing the Retro Soda Comebacks | Oct 23, 2018 | |
| 4636 | Article | NLogan | @vaporman87 you are welcome sir! @vkimo unfortunately there aren't many photos of the yard decorations growing up. There are plenty of my dad's efforts as the years went on and we had already left home (over the top and cheesy), and if you mean decorations of my own house well... The truth is I don't decorate overmuch now because my neighborhood doesn't receive a lot of trick-or-treaters. I live on a hill on a dead end that ends in a circle. No one wants to hike the hill and steps for every house. We get like 20 max each year. I put out tombstones, carved pumpkins, and metal pumpkin lights each year. One year I did decorate my mother in laws' porch with an elaborate mini haunted house with dungeon corridor I spray painted on cardboard with window openings to jump out and scare people with, skulls, a cauldron with dry ice mist near the candy bowl for those who made it, chains and manacles hanging from the walls, etc. Somehow no photos except one were taken. Me popping out to yell Happy Halloween in a Pennywise voice and I didn't even paint the inside of the window shutters. My boys are getting old and may want to party instead of trick or treat. There may be some decorating in the future. However my twin brother just had a baby girl necessitating another decade of trick or treating. <img src="/images/postImages/1540333060Halloween2005boo.gif"> <img src="/images/postImages/1540333224October 30, 2009 085.jpg" width="285" height="213"> <img src="/images/postImages/1540333360Oct 29, 2011 (62).JPG" width="326" height="431"> | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Oct 23, 2018 | |
| 4637 | Article | Hoju Koolander | While I was driving around for RetroCon last year I was listening to the Big Orange Couch podcast ep 61 where they talked all about the Nick Or Treat block and especially that process of the call-in prize line and going to the houses on the TV screen. Very fun. | Kid Channel Halloween Treats | Oct 24, 2018 | |
| 4638 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You're right about Ecto-Cooler, the hunt for the green elixir was the real heart of the experience. It took me 3 months of searching until a friend finally tipped me off about an end-cap display at a local market. I drank my supply for 6 months straight and loved it. For some reason the Original New York Seltzers were always being sold at frozen yogurt shops in my area as a kid and as a result, the soda and frozen yogurt are forever linked in my brain. | Reviewing the Retro Soda Comebacks | Oct 24, 2018 | |
| 4639 | Article | Vaporman87 | These are all excellent choices, but I feel like Trantor from Ernest Scared Stupid takes the cake in the "creepy creature" department: <img src="/images/postImages/1540498228Ernest Scared Stupid.png" width="409" height="245"> | 5 Scary Characters In Family Films | Oct 25, 2018 | |
| 4640 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 I agree about that snotty troll, but we knew what we were all getting into with Ernest Scared Stupid. Now if he had showed up in Slam Dunk Earnest... | 5 Scary Characters In Family Films | Oct 26, 2018 | |
| 4641 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've mentioned before that I don't feel like the 2000's was a bad decade by any means. Many key things in my life happened in that decade: - I married my wife in 2002 (we recently celebrated our 16th anniversary). - My first two children were born in 2006 and 2008. - My work situation improved when my dad was able to secure a loan in 2005 to buy his two brothers' shares of our business, eventually leading to me becoming owner in 2012. These are major events that were huge positives in my life. As far as the culture of the 2000s is concerned, that is where I believe it doesn't really hold up well against it's predecessors. Every decade has its technological, creative, and social advances. But you can't really point to any one thing from the 2000s that truly defines it. At least, not a very positive one (9-11 is not something you want to "define" anything). The '90s can claim the explosion of the internet as its crowning achievement. The '80s are defined by a number of major things... the explosion of home computing and gaming, an explosion of entertainment outlets - cable and satellite among them, ending the Cold War, etc. These are positive things that changed the course of history and/or our lives in monumental ways. This is not to say that the 2000's had none of that. There were certainly some positive things taking place that were influential to many. But perhaps none that really define the decade. In my opinion, it seems more like a transition decade, or one that simply saw improvements to that which we already enjoyed. But it will always be a matter of opinion. So I certainly am not claiming that any of this is an ultimate truth for all. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Oct 26, 2018 | |
