| 1130 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man. This is what I love about this site and others like it. That chance to peak into the pasts of others and experience the spirit and passion of those good times. This Suddenly Summer contest has truly brought out some of the most well written, passionate, and stirring reads yet. Benson feels like a place I could call home. With a small population (Rutland has around 400), a General Store (just as you described, the still functioning store that just scrapes by meeting the needs of the locals (and has since the 1870's), and the beauty of the water (I live just minutes from the Ohio River). Benson could be Rutland, and vice versa. Thank you so much for sharing this. | Jun 16, 2014 |  | |

| 1131 | Article | Vaporman87 | One of my favorite "steak" memories, now finally told in the elegant form of an article. Yes! I love this story, and have since you mentioned bits and pieces of it a year or more ago. Now though, I really feel like I know what you were experiencing during that trip and your first encounter with the digital world of video games. It's great to see your writing again my friend. You never disappoint! | Galaga Rising | Jun 16, 2014 | |
| 1132 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh yeah... and I love the drawing of the game room! ;) | Galaga Rising | Jun 16, 2014 | |
| 1152 | Article | echidna64 | Great title and I didn't even realize it until reading the comments below that the graphics were user created, awesome job! | Galaga Rising | Jun 16, 2014 | |
| 1157 | Article | shakin steak | Thanks guys. vkimo that's pretty funny. Didn't you guys have Smokey the Bear over there? | Galaga Rising | Jun 26, 2014 | |
| 1145 | Article | shakin steak | I wanted to include more pictures, but I would have missed the deadline. Coloring takes [me] way longer than it seems like it should. Maybe next time, I'll use some black and white drawings if I get short on time. I'm so glad you like it. You should see it full size. Some of the character is lost here, like scaling a record cover down to CD size. You feel you know what I experienced...really the best compliment I can receive. That is my goal as a writer. Thank you. | Galaga Rising | Jun 16, 2014 | |
| 1151 | Article | vkimo | I really dig the custom art! Being stuffed in a Rabbit for any length of time is admirable. I remember one time we planned this vacation to Sacramento, about 3 hours away. It was a sweltering day. My parents had 3 cars at the time, all junkers. First we took the 88 Cutlass and were driving about 2 hours before it started to overheat. I remember my dad throwing his cigarette out the window and turning back. Then we got into the Buick and made it a little farther but it too started to overheat. We finally gave up and went home. On the way back the cigarette my dad threw out caused a small fire on the side of the highway and we saw firetrucks scrambling. That was about it. | Galaga Rising | Jun 16, 2014 | |
| 5829 | Article | Benjanime | Geez dude, I didn't know you could draw. This definitely gives some more inspiration for illustrated articles. Awesome work on this one. | Galaga Rising | Jan 17, 2025 | |
| 1124 | Article | Vaporman87 | I will admit, I could not wait until you had finished this piece to read some of it, so I used my webmaster mojo to dig it up and read some of it while in draft form. LOL. Pardon my impatience. Such a great article. And a fun and poignant reflection of what summer was like in the vkimo house. From the bbq on the grill, to the chlorine filled pools... I can almost smell the memories. This cracked me up every time: "Ah yes, I remember this themed BBQ. Wear your girlfriend's shorts". I also never went to any summer camp. However, as I have previously mentioned elsewhere, I did attend two summers worth of college preparatory programs on the campus of OU. Those are summers I'll never forget. It was a taste of the freedom of college come years early. And I made friendships that, though they did not last, will be forever etched within my mind. Thanks for this vkimo! | In The Summer Time | Jun 06, 2014 | |
