| 11735 | Drive-Ins | @massreality: Glad you got to experience the Drive-In. It's an iconic American experience that is disappearing all to quickly.<br> | Vaporman87 | Sep 25, 2014 |  |
| 11734 | Claims to fame | @NLogan: Actually those not yet released cereals still sealed in their box could fetch you some nice dough these days too. Anything is collectible these days. ANYTHING. :)<br> | Vaporman87 | Sep 25, 2014 | |

| 11732 | Claims to fame | When I was a kid I didn't understand the whole autograph thing. I guess it was the proof prior to cell phone cameras and selfies that you met someone. As an adult I know now that there are serious collectors out there and some signatures are worth big bucks. I even have a few now. But as a kid it didn't matter I would rather have shaken their hand. If someone didn't believe me oh well. But there was one time of the year where signatures really mattered to me as a kid. <br><br>When I was a young lad my mom used to drag me to this weird convention type thing that was billed as a food festival. You had a sack and went booth to booth getting samples from various companies. Everything from snacks to detergent or shampoo. They had spin the wheel type prizes at every other booth or a golf putt your shot in to win something cool like cups, mugs, hats, shirts, etc. One year I even got several carded Star Wars Return of the Jedi figures although they only had Gammorean Gaurds, Klaatus, and Squid Heads. I hit the booth several times and got several of each. The highlights of the food festival was being selected to enter the money booth tornado thing and grab as much floating cash as possible (I was never selected) and the other was the Raiderettes football cheerleaders would perform a dance number in their silver and white bikini tops and black shorty shorts and sign autographs afterwards. I don't know why the Raider's cheerleaders came we were not even in California. For some reason the line for autographs was all older guys and teenage boys. They wrote stuff like love ya, XOXO, all my love, etc. and called you Handsome, Tiger, Sugar, Honey, and a bunch of other crap that made my face light up and feet float a couple of inches off the ground. While they signed pictures of themselves (that they provided for free) you stood there awkwardly staring at their um ... assets. I collected several years worth of signatures while eating my free hot dogs and getting sample size boxes of new cereals that hadn't come out yet. I didn't save any Raiderettes autographs unfortunately but you get the picture.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1411612136raiderettes.gif"><br> | NLogan | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 11731 | 1978's Halloween. An American horror classic. | Yup, awesome. One of the many reasons why john carpenter is my favorite director. | Jrs1991 | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 11730 | Drive-Ins | I went to my first drive in theater this summer in Henderson, North Carolina. It was a double feature of Blended and Godzilla. Not a bad experience, I just parked too close and came out with a mega neck cramp. I'm glad I got to at least once. <div><br></div><div><img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/141160934410329175_10201958228659297_6150680741643542739_n.jpg"><br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div> | massreality | Sep 25, 2014 | |

| 11727 | 1978's Halloween. An American horror classic. | I love this movie so much. My father bought me a copy of it when I was about nine and it scared the hell out of me. It instantly became my favorite horror movie.<div><br></div><div>Funny side story: My family moved to a new house in Texas and for the first time ever my brother and I were going to have our own bedrooms. The first night we moved in I showed my little brother Halloween and Halloween 6. Our last name is Myers, so I convinced him that Michael Myers was our uncle and he'd eventually come for us too. He spent the first six months living in our new house sleeping in my bedroom. </div><div><br></div><div>He tells the story with pride now and the Halloween franchise is his favorite as well.</div> | massreality | Sep 25, 2014 | |
