3662ArticleHoju KoolanderStill one of my favorites. No doubt as a teenager this would have been my dream first job, I don't know why I never went for it. Instead I will just have to live vicariously through your adventures. Jan 04, 2017View
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
3660ArticlejkatzThe green skin on Mandarin and Dr. No was because both these characters were originally Asian stereotypes. I think they did the same thing for Ming the Merciless in one of the Flash Gordon toons (I want to say Defenders of the Universe?). That Oddjob is amazing. I'll have to look for his action figure now.James Bond Jr. RememberedJan 04, 2017View
3659ArticleVaporman87It seems every Weird Al fan but me has actually seen him perform!90's Concert Experiences Part 1Jan 03, 2017View
3658ArticleVaporman87Glad to see this one back on the site. It was a great look into the life behind the counter. It was sad to see the last of our local rental stores close up just recently. I don't know of any anywhere local now.The Video Store ClerkJan 03, 2017View
3657ArticleSupermanYour father most definitely sounds like a great man. This was a nice read.1986: The Year That Santa Became RealJan 03, 2017View
3656ArticlevkimoGreat timing, I'm currently enroute from San Francisco to Philadelphia. Except I'm driving solo. What gas station in Utah did you loose Nuggit? Maybe I'll find him behind the churro maker. Also, good luck finding a Rambler on Find-A-Car Bingo!Family Road TripsJan 03, 2017View
3655ArticlejkatzGreat article! I love reading about obscure animes and films...they usually end up in the most interesting places.Urikupen Kyujotai: The cartoon that introduced me to animationJan 02, 2017View
3653ArticleRick Ace RhodesNice article MassReality! I've often wondered what it must of been like for a video store clerk back in the day. I'm sure like all clerk jobs it offered customers that were annoying, odd or actually interesting. It's a shame that technology has made things like this obsolete. It may have made our lives more convenient, but it removed some of the fun that once was involved in the inconvenience. My father loves to tell this story of how on Saturday's him and his friends would go out to the mall, drink and eat, and then spend the day in the record store digging through shelves and looking to see what cool records were in stock. Now and days that's all removed, you can just go to iTunes and find what you want. I've often wondered: why are new video releases released on Tuesdays? Even today new movies on DVD and Blu-Ray are often released on Tuesdays. Is it because Sunday's usually aren't business days and so Monday's have to be used to instead ship and receive them in stores to be put out on shelves?The Video Store ClerkJan 02, 2017View
3652ArticleRick Ace RhodesCool article Hoju. The worst road trip story I have wasn't even from an actual road trip: my father and I went on a trip to my orthodontist who was about an hour away. The ensuing trip and back actually took seven hours, as every possible thing from closed roads, getting lost and nearly getting into a car accident occurred.Family Road TripsJan 02, 2017View
