4513	Article	Hoju Koolander	@vkimo Yeah, it's hard to grasp all the tropes being satirized as a kid, it just seems like a fun fantasy adventure. UPDATE #2: I finally got my interview completed with the gentleman who worked for Topps in the 90s and worked on the never released LAH comic book insert trading cards. It's a doozy, so stay tuned.

1696	Article	NLogan	@vkimo what is really impressive is that neither of my parents could afford the presents they got me. My dad is a postal carrier and my mom a secretary. Now that I am an adult I wonder just how much debt they went into for those smiles on Christmas morning.	NLogan's Retro Christmas	Dec 19, 2014
3585	Article	mickyarber	@vkimo thanks for the compliment on the formatting. I put some time into the pics. And yes, my old man really is the genuine article. You could ask him about this stuff now, and he'd just brush it off. Hate to hear that you missed out on these awesome toys of the 80s. I just can't imagine there will be anything that could ever top G.I. Joe for versatile fun.	1986: The Year That Santa Became Real	Dec 15, 2016
1998	Article	Hoju Koolander	@vkimo Oh, you got me! The funniest part was when I went to pick her up and mispronounced her name which had a very exotic, eastern European spelling. Her Mom just gave me this look like, "You're taking my daughter out and you can't even say her name right? Good luck!" just in case you were wondering she wasn't a high school girl or anything, with the living at home deal. It's not of THOSE Internet dating stories.	Remembering RetroJunk	Feb 13, 2015
1638	Article	Hoju Koolander	@vkimo I never knew you were such a Batman devotee. Did you attach this velcro bat-symbol or did you buy it that way? I am intrigued. @Vaporman87 glad you can back me up on this. Speaking of Batmania, there was a VHS that came out around this time called "Holy Batmania!" covering the phenomenon. My copy no longer plays, but I remember this segment of Adam West as Batman at some rinky-dink fan event giving it his all to entertain. It was sad and inspiring at the same time. Interesting that you had Mantis, he came at the end of the line when Kenner started throwing in lesser known characters, just because they had cool designs or making up new ones altogether. @thecrow174 Yeah, the return of Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters in '89 were just some the highlights, I wonder if we will get a year like that in the 21st century.

2693	Article	kidcoffee	@vkimo Hulkamaniacs never say die!!!!	Hulkamaniacs	Sep 21, 2015
3661	Article	Hoju 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 Trips	Jan 04, 2017
1924	Article	Hoju Koolander	@vkimo "Husky" would have been more acceptable to me, now that I think about it. It's got a softer feel to it. @Vaporman87 I think everyone had that fat friend they picked on, that's why I wrote the article. So I think you're off the hook. I just happened to BE the fat kid, but I realize now that kids are just dumb and can't think of much else to say. "Your ability to style your hair is sub-par" just doesn't have the same ring as, "Hey, Chubb-o". I had a friend who also used my weight as a source of comedy in our audio cassette recordings of fake morning shows and sketches, needless to say I found other partners pretty quickly. In retrospect his weak comic insults were kind of pointless, since it's not a visual medium.	Being The Fat Kid	Feb 09, 2015
4173	Article	Superman	@vkimo - From the looks of her, you can hardly believe that she's not younger. Meanwhile, half of the kids at the school I work at tell me I look much older whenever I tell them my age.	My Trip to Wizard World Chicago 2017	Oct 10, 2017
1947	Article	NLogan	@vkimo I know his real name but he prefers anonymity and has set up a Retro Machine Facebook page for fans of his old articles. https://www.facebook.com/TheRetroMachine/timeline Here is his email, well his fan one anyways: theretromachine@gmail.com	Remembering RetroJunk	Feb 10, 2015
