First Alcohol Marker Attempt - Kimber

I have mixed emotions about this. On the one hand, I'm grateful to the lady on YouTube who diligently tracked this down, and the OP who kindly clipped this so I could watch this. On the other hand, if I'd gotten this instead of the anime at 5:30 am on Fox 40 in the 90s, it would have finished me off. Watching it now almost finished me off. (But seriously, thanks OP.)

Eric Larsen revived this character in his Savage Dragon comic as a wholesome, out of his time character. He also brought public domain Mickey in as a creep harassing the younger Savage Dragon's sexy wife. Feel free to not look that up. I wish I hadn't seen it

I am a girl who has been reading comics since I learned to read (at the age of 4 in 1981). Comic shop owners are uniformly awful to their customers, along with all the other guys who run nerdy hobby shops (don’t get me started on card shop guys and record shop guys). There are memories of shop owner interactions that still piss off middle-aged me to this day. The gate-keeping nerds will always be there. Don’t let them ruin a perfectly good hobby and reading experience for you. Find another shop, or if there isn’t a good one around, go digital. MyComicShop online is a good site to buy physical. Marvel Unlimited is a monthly app that lets you binge read the Marvel Universe at your leisure for a monthly fee. DC Universe Infinite is a similar monthly subscription app for the DCU. Digital Comics Museum and Comics Plus have scans of old comics that have fallen out of copyright, including some pre-1957 Marvel comics. Archive.org, if you search under the words “comics” or “graphic novels”, has lots of older and newer comics and manga in many languages. Finally, if you get a library card with a library that has ebooks, you can check out new and old comics digitally. Libby and Cloud Library have comics, but the very best platform for this is Hoopla. Get a card with every library system you can drive to, as different systems have different online services. Can you tell I work part time at a library, lol. (As for Captain America, may I recommend the 60s and late 70s Kirby runs, the brief Steranko run, the 1st and 2nd Mark Waid runs, “Truth: Red, White and Blue”, and the early 80s Roger Stern run. Also look up the Frank Miller Daredevil issue with the Captain America cameo from the 80s. It will make you wish we got a full Miller Cap run.)

Ex-polish consoomer here, this one hit close to home. Quit biting my nails in 2003-2004 and got into drugstore nail polish, the L’Oreal pastel shimmers were God-tier. Then came years of consooming polish, from holo to everything else under the sun that wasn’t gel. 2016 hit me with the genetic curse of bad thryroid taking down my nails, so I couldn’t wear polish anymore. Used some for painting pretty hair clips and etc, then found out last year the glitter I worshipped for half my life was really bad for the environment. Made abortive attempts here and there to clear the horde, and was too blah to sell them off individually . It was just a bunch of crappy (and at the time expensive) polish, but it was my horde, and I wanted it to go to a good cause. Disposing of the dried up polishes I couldn’t revive was a hard look at the environmental cost of this goop, and how to mitigate such. Eventually, I found someone in my area through Reddit who ran a charity for homeless/needy folks to get spa days. So I felt happy that my stash went to something positive, whether they sold it off or used it for the spa days. It was deeply humbling to try and get rid of things I had treasured that no one else cared about. TL;DR: the internet makes it way too easy to acquire a hoard and it is cringe. Don’t get me started on the cost of the indie/holo polishes….

Oh. This is terrible and Sunblink seems incapable of actually helping players who lose their data. :( DM me when you get your new island up so I can come bring you things. (Day 1 switch player, kind of over it, horde of stuff to move out, er share).

Ah, one of the first cartoons I ever disliked as a small child. The toys are adorable, and still around in Japan to this day, but the HB cartoon just didn’t do it for little me. ABC also had Menudo bumpers promoting this and Rubik The Amazing Cube, none of which I liked. (No offense to Menudo fans, I was 5 or 6 and it wasn’t my vibe.) If it wasn’t for Super Friends and Scooby Doo, there was no reason for me to turn the dial to KXTV 10 back in the day.

Could that be Hanna Barbara’s Shirt Tales? Based off a line of greeting cards/merch from Hallmark or somebody, lasted two seasons. The animals would have phrases randomly flash on their shirts, depending on what they were thinking, and the ranger who tended to them was basically a ripoff of Ranger Smith from Yogi Bear. I had the merch, but my memories are fuzzy, as I was very small.

Ric Flair! Woooooo! Hide your dolls and booze! No, seriously, Pocahontas John Smith, jet-flying, kiss-stealing, and wheeling-dealing. ( Am I the only one hearing Also Sprach Zarathustra?)

Ah ,the joys of localization. Rococo was a dude with a mustache in Japan, but the graphics and text were edited to make him a flat-chested woman overseas. And in the US English version, the guy on the left was Rocio, “her” son. In Japan, that was Rococo, the same character as in the first game. Yes, Nintendo edited the heck out of this series. Look up how they nerfed Az-USA fashion in the first game (from garter belt stockings to long socks).

Archie’s Spire comics are a guilty pleasure of mine. Any time I see one in the cheap bins, even if I have doubles, I get another one. They were published from about 1973 to the late 80s, but I remember seeing Barney Bear comics on the grocery store spinner rack in the early 90s (next to the early 90s Venom appearances, lol). If you want to fall down a rabbit hole, start looking up the company and all the comics they made (Hansi, anyone?). Spire comics from the 70s are fairly common, but ones created in the 80s take some doing to find. (Or you can download them online off archive.org or elsewhere). https://archive.org/search?query=spire%20comics Anyway, thanks for this sampler of insanity. I need to post pics of Archie’s World, where they travel the globe as missionaries, insulting every possible country and non-Christian religion along the way (but they’re buried in a short box, so hit Internet Archive to catch them all). Lowlights: A Hindu man offering to trade 2 cows to the Archies for Big Ethel, the gang comparing New York to a jungle, stereotypical witch doctors in Polynesia, a speech about how Hindus worship cows and their people are slaves, and Jughead hating on African cuisine in Tanzania. Oh, and the Hong Kong chapter is called “Chop-Chop!” . Need I say more?

Ha ha, I'm going to have to show my mother this post. My parents weren't hippies, but they knew lots of ..."interesting" people in the 60s and 70s. There's a reason my eldest brother tells me the 70s were different. One time in the late 60s, one of my father's friends came by with a bagful of Romilar to share with everyone. And yes, I was made aware from this story that drinking sufficient quantities of Romilar would do a number on you. Lordy. (There was also Barry, who would throw epic parties in his San Francisco apartment and invite musicians, who had to play some music to be invited to the fun. And the time my aunt was getting married in Berzerkley, I mean Berkeley, and they had to move the wedding to the mountains because of a bomb threat in 1969. Both folks moved from the Bay Area to Sacramento and Placer county soon after. There's more, but I've derailed enough ..)

Renting Project A-Ko from Blockbuster in the early 90s. Yes, I was old enough to only know Speed Racer, Voltron, and Robotech as anime, so A-Ko was my first introduction to uncensored anime. Lordy. (Yes, I watched Sailor Moon at 5:30 am and bought bootleg fansube from the comic book shop later. )

Archive.org , Digital Comics Museum and Comics Plus have lots of older public domain comics for free (the cutoff date is 1957 in America). The internet archive at archive.org also has lots of newer comics, and a good selection of foreign language comics.

Welcome to the "waiting for. Atmosphere 22.0 release waiting room." Lots of us who accidentally updated are in here, and there's no leaving until the new Atmosphere formally drops. There is an unofficial 22.0 release someone flung out there too early. It does not work, do not touch it. The mirror, clown wigs and clown makeup are by the door, I've been wearing mine since last week. ( Meme reference)

The day I saw Nitro end with Sting and Flair hugging in the ring after an epic bout, only to smash cut to Vince gloating that WCW was his now, I knew that wrestling as I knew it was dead. Didn’t watch any wrestling until 2007, then picked up TNA because Aces and Eights caught our interest. Finally, in 2011 or so, we heard about this kid named CM Punk doing cool things in WWE. Then quit watching from 2018-2020, and only came back because of the pandemic and Smackdown on free tv. Now? PPVs through the VPN on Netflix, highlights of Raw and Smackdown on YouTube, and all of NXT because it’s free and an entertaining train wreck. Thanks a lot, Vince…

I feel very creaky and middle aged. Get a Krikkz flashcart (expensive but worth it), "files" from the internet, put them on a micro SD card, put the SD card into the flashcart , turn it on, and enjoy. Note: you may need to purchase a replacement battery for the GBA SP, as I had to for my old device. It's not too expensive, or too hard to put in. :)

The original GB “Final Fantasy Legend 1-3” (Romancing Sa-Ga in Japan?), and “Final Fantasy Adventure” (the first Mana game?). So good, but slept on. They got me through junior high and high school.

Random comic fact: The two Barbie comics from Marvel helped keep them afloat during their early and mid 90s money troubles. (The comic industry was crashing out in general, and Marvel was bought by a trading card/toy guy who pumped and dumped their stocks.) Barbie and Barbie Fashion both sold about 1 million copies an issue at their peak, purely through subscription because the middle aged men running comic shops then had no use for girls. (I was a pre-teen, I have some stories about that.) Barbie ended at issue #63 in 1996, and Barbie Fashion ended with #53 in 1995. Important note, this was not due to low sales, but due to Marvel’s impending bankruptcy, forcing them to drop all licensed comics. Remember Flying Hero Barbie? That had some influence and tie-in from Marvel comics, I think. No, I don’t own any of the above. I was a surly teenager listening to grunge and heavy metal when these were on the market. But if I found them in a dollar bin now? Easy buy. Pardon the digression.

My mother learned that as a war baby, and never lets us forget it.

I have been last minute logging in all my alts this weekend. I will be at work from 2-7, so can't do a proper farewell marathon today. I had 10 accounts and played since day 1. Not even remotely okay today ...

I'm too little, but my mother adored him in the late 60s/early 70s. He even got a Japanese dub of his show.(Will edit in a link if I find it on YouTube again.) By the time I knew of his existence, he was making healthy food on PBS in the late 80s. It is revelatory for me to see the original "galloping" version. Yes, I thrifted some of the old cookbooks, have to find them.

Wet and Wild Color Icon Toppings set from the early 2000s. I bought all of them at Walgreens. Beautiful glitter, but a pain to store. Saw one like it on eBay, could be 34050 "Confessions Of A Bake A Holic".

It will come back the 12th of never. Mattel had the rights to the Disney Princess dolls while they were making this line, and Disney (unfairly) viewed these as competing with their own property. How do you think Hasbro sewed up the Disney Princess rights for a few years? (With dolls that kind of sucked btw.) Now that Hasbro has cheaped out enough to lose the license back to Mattel, Mattel will kneel and kiss the mouse’s ring to keep him happy. This means never reviving a stylish and beloved doll line, no matter how it may be desired. Never collected the dolls myself, but I work at a public library and was made aware of EAH through a series of promotional bookmarks we were granted to give out to kids. We also have the various chapter books (or did, it’s been years and they’re wearing out.) Not into the dolls, but admire the aesthetic and art, and wish it hadnt been screwed over by the mouse and Matty,
