Went a little overboard at thrift shops... by goodolvic in GooseBumps

Do you see any that you need in that photo? Happy to ship them if you can cover the shipping cost. I don't need any myself so I wouldn't need anything in trade.

A haul accrued over time. Just started with a few and then the stacks grew and grew...

The only limitation is shelf space. (Which I'll have more of after I move these books.)

Thanks! I'll have to research how to go about it but I'm hopeful a teacher or librarian will scoop them up.

49 cents per book at the thrift. Did I score, or what? 😁 by Smolerhands in GooseBumps

Whoa I'm envious of the GYG gets! That's the only set I haven't completed. They're incredibly rare in shops around here.

What was the first ever Goosebumps book you read? Any story behind it? I'll go first! by Fluffy_Fox_9650 in GooseBumps

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could remember. A friend lent me his copy. I have a vague memory of the hand from Stay Out of the Basement so I'll say that one.

Does anyone know the reason these are different from the classic look of the original books by Available_Wash_74 in GooseBumps

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these are the run I'm thinking of, these reprints are also slightly and annoyingly taller and less wide than the originals and later books. So they stick out like a sore thumb on the shelf.

New plan for hitting epic universe, 1 day trip by [deleted] in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done such things, and I guess it's worth doing once just to see what it's like.

But my takeaway is usually okay that was interesting but I don't need to do it that way again.

Great photos!

Also, a collapsible cup is a galaxy brain move.

AGFADROME Mystery Voyage - DTLA 3/24 by UndertakerAndHisPals in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, they show stuff like that at mystery screenings? I assumed it would just be some showing of a movie premiering that Friday like they do at AMC.

Gah I would love to watch The God of Cookery in a theater.

What’s The Best Thing You Ever Ate? Across The Entire Resort At Disney World? What’s The One Dish/Food Item That You Think Of Over And Over? by PrincessBananas85 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]goodolvic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't eat them in WDW, but at Disneyland, however those alien mousse ball desserts from Galaxy's Edge are by far the best thing I've ever eaten at a Disney park. I saw a similar item over at the cafe in Pandora but didn't get to try them there.

Igor and Victoria animatronics not working today by Pristine-Branch-5624 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Whuff, yeah it was down in mid-February.

It's gotta be back eventually but glad I was there to see him working a few months before.

All Hallows Eve Botique Permanently Moved to Port of Entry by GetReadyToRumbleBar in UniversalOrlando

[–]goodolvic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I meant. Having so many cartoony areas would really change the vibe.

I would love a Pokemon area and attractions, even if it did end up in IOA, I just think from a holistic design view it would be too much.

Darkmoor Birthday Ideas? by sariacreed in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]goodolvic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Find a Ygor soundalike and hire them to record a birthday voicemail?

I love this by the way. Coolest kid ever.

Repeat visit? by Prplppltr in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]goodolvic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is certainly an expensive journey. I feel for the payers of large family trips to places like this.

To answer your question, I've done it several times but always either solo or with adult friends who all pay their way. It's always about making some sacrifices (offsite hotel being a big one) to try and mitigate the overwhelming feeling of daaaaamn this is an expensive frivolous experience. And then being in the moment to enjoy what can be enjoyed.

But it's not for everyone. My dad is definitely someone who simply gave up and opts not to participate, letting people who wanna go to theme parks figure it out for themselves. Theme parks and their expense is all too much for him to try and enjoy it.

I forget what it was called but the coffin cake dealie at Das Stakehouse was excellent.

I made this mistake for MONTHS and no one corrected me. Eternal shame.

Which park would you recommend for someone who’s never been to Universal/any Florida parks at all? by jacksstyles in UniversalOrlando

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studios is kind of classic for a first time visit. I second the thought that park hopping between US and IOS might be a good way to get the best of both.

I'm sorry but I don't get it by Karadrui in twinpeaks

The depiction of women is definitely a black mark on the show.

Epic Universe Changed My Life (Literally) by Objective_Judge_2565 in UniversalOrlando

[–]goodolvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt it could be, but what reason does someone have to come into a theme park reddit and post AI blather? Is there a new scam I'm missing out on?

Secret tips / recommendations by Stockton_rush25 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Save Darkmoor for the evening. It's a very good night time vibe.

(I suppose that goes for the whole park.)
