2966Articleechidna64Great article vkimo! I love the old-school dialogue and all the throwbacks to retro pop culture. The Darth Vader costume reminded me of the scene from Revenge of the Nerds Fright Night - A Retro NarrativeOct 16, 2015View
2965ArticleVaporman87Well, here is something I wasn't expecting. This is definitely unique among the 350 articles that have been submitted here in this site's short life. It is... a story. I hadn't considered a work of fiction as anything I would ever come across here. So I wasn't sure how to react. All I know is... I loved it! So this brings us to a crossroads: What do we, as a membership, define as an "article"? Must it be purely based in reality? Reviews, top ten lists, descriptions of actual past events, etc... are these to be the only works we consider appropriate for a submission? I vote NO. Why? Because our memories and our pop culture are finite. What do we do when we're "tapped out"? Will our well run dry and leave nothing new to be written by some? I think it's possible. Because I made no stipulation that a work of fiction could not be entered, I am allowing this. But we need to, as a group, discuss this further amongst ourselves. What do YOU think? Make your voice heard <a href="http://www.retro-daze.org/site/thread/id/1373">here.</a>Fright Night - A Retro NarrativeOct 16, 2015View
2964ArticleVaporman87Lots of great "final Halloween" stories this year. Very funny and enjoyable. I think I would have to question the friendship of somebody who left me to suffer the consequences of her own dirty actions. LOL. But in the end, it certainly made for a memorable final outing. Fun read!Halloween: 10 year old terrorOct 16, 2015View
2963ArticlepikachuloverI was like one of the biggest No Doubt fans at my high school. People who never met me knew that was my "thing". Gwen Costume 2000Oct 16, 2015View
2962ArticleDirtyD79@NLogan When I first looked at the picture in your comment I first noticed what I thought was Jesus' face. I remember hearing a theory similar to what you mentioned. Someone was mentioning on this one site how kids usually notice the arrow in between the "E" and the "X" in the FEDEX logo before adults do.Searching for a Real Haunted HouseOct 16, 2015View
2961ArticleRick Ace Rhodes@Vaporman87 Thanks man. Looking back it was more trick or treating then the holiday that made me hate it. But then again trick or treating is the whole point of the holiday.Halloween SucksOct 16, 2015View
2960ArticleNLogan@DirtyD79 the Winchester Mystery House has been on my bucket list for a while being interested both in the western history aspect of the firearm as well as ghosts, one day I'll make it. Cool you have a picture with Sarah Winchester! or old lady tourist or ruffled curtains. I think the pareidolia aspect is pretty cool how our genetics make us recognize shapes that appear like faces as both a nurturing thing as babies as well as a self preservation thing against predators or competitors hidden in the background or lurking in the bushes since the earliest times. The best example I can give is little kids looking at clouds and imagining shapes. In these cases those shapes are recognized by our visual cortex as faces and because they shouldn't be there obviously that means they have to be ghosts or divine figures on toast or trees, right? <img src="http://www.ourcuriousworld.com/Art Page_files/pareidolia_jesus.jpg"> What do you see in this late 19th century photo? A couple with a child in the middle wearing a cloche hat or bonnet, or the face of a divine figure in the middle?Searching for a Real Haunted HouseOct 16, 2015View
2959ArticlejkatzThat was a good read. I spent the first 4 years of my life in an small neighborhood that was populated with almost nothing but older retirees. We were the only young family in the neighborhood and I swear to God that they prepped every year for it. Homemade cookies and such aplenty. Recently I went back to where I grew up and every one of those sweet grannies and overenthusiastic grandpas were dead except for one couple.Halloween SucksOct 15, 2015View
2958ArticleoniparI actually didn't have any of that stuff as a kid. I didn't get to go to fast food places very often. But I made up for it as an adult! :-pHalloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90sOct 15, 2015View
2957ArticleNLoganI had the Hardee's ghost and it is still in a box of junk at my mom's house. I had several of the monster cereal prizes as a kid. We did have a few Mc Donald's pails Mc Boo, Mc Goblin, and Mc Punk'n around 1986 or so.Halloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90sOct 15, 2015View
