You always remember your first!

My first “love”!





The first Car ( of the now ten I have owned) was the 1964 AMC Rambler Classic 770.





It was bought new by a nice lady in St.Cloud who only drove it to “Church and the grocery store”. She left it to her nephew with only a small dent and 24xxx miles. The Dad and I bought it for $1000 bucks in 1988.



I LOVED this car!!!

It came to an untimely end – cause I smashed it up- a few years later but it had a nice ride!





My best memories (outside of romantic ones) in this car involve playin’ CB Tag with My Boys- the Bastards.



We developed this game by accident-we all had CBs in our cars and would play a radical version of hide and seek in our cars.



You were “tagged” when a “seeker” was behind you by less than a car length at a stop sign or red stop light. This and the boundary lines were pretty much THE ONLY RULES.

As 18 year old boys- we were CRAZY! Honestly- looking back- I am amazed no one got hurt. We only had two crashes in the 5 months or so we played the game.

It got sooo crazy- the County Sherriff had a “Task Force” to catch us.




They did- it took them two months and a team of 10 officers- but they did.

The Bastards have joked about playing ‘Tag’ again someday but with all of us being “grown-up” now I doubt it.

Maybe when we are all retired and need something to do we’ll play again. Or then again- maybe that’s when we’ll take up “skitchin’” again.





But that’s another story!

This is a "fire" in your pants

Crazy what those Diggers find

This is labeled as an ancient stone "sex aid" and "fire starter"

That's Hot!

I'm not the only one, thank God!



http://www.popeater.com/2010/05/20/guy-loves-sex-and-the-city/?icid=popeater-iphone-url


Pop-Ed: I'm not trying to be ironic. I'm not trying to be proud. I'm not even trying to score points with the ladies. And I'm certainly not apologizing. I'm just saying I'm a (straight) man, I've seen and enjoyed all of 'Sex and the City,' dug the movie and I'm psyched for the sequel. And I feel like I'm the only one.



I sometimes wish I could write off the fashiony, gossipy adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte as a guilty pleasure, but in truth I spend more time shrugging my shoulders, misunderstanding why guys avoid the show the way they avoid buying tampons or watching 'The Bachelorette.'



Read about my love affair with 'Sex' after the jump.


When the complete DVD set turned up on my then-girlfriend's doorstep in all its pink, velvet glory, I'd never seen an episode. I grumbled and tried to make jokes at the show's expense -- this was being forced to watch 'Moulin Rouge' all over again -- and, like that fabulous musical that charmed me when I least expected it, 'Sex and the City' surprised the hell outta me. It was like finding my sister's Cosmopolitan (the magazine, not the Carrie-and-co-endorsed cocktail), making sure no one was looking and pawing through pages from the minds of women, for women. It was like that, only much more entertaining, less obsessed with 75 boilerplate bedroom tips and with nudity galore. I laughed a lot, became invested in the characters and just really enjoyed the show.



The glitzy New Yorkiness of it all, watching in small-town Maine and dreaming of moving to the city, was intensely alluring. Since living and writing in New York, I've seen firsthand that Carrie's columnist-in-a-huge-apartment-buying-thousands-of-shoes lifestyle is fantasy BS (and that cabs do go to Brooklyn, Miranda, and real-life people commute from that supposed nether-realm each and every day), but I just don't care. Carrie and her ilk are well-written characters who, when you move past the headlines and the misconceptions, can span more demographics than reason would suggest.



This isn't to say I couldn't see the show's flaws, and the same went for the 2008 movie. There was plenty not to like -- after six seasons of Carrie and Big's will-they-won't-they, I just wanted to see them together, not fighting and being depressed -- but, just like I approach my Stephen King fanaticism (which is way out of hand), I treat the movie and the series like a relationship: Recognize the major imperfections, ignore the small ones and try to love it as a whole. I thought the movie rocked a fairly unblazed trail in taking a TV serial and continuing its thread on the silver screen. When it came to critics' opinions -- particularly as time has passed these two years -- and even regular old friends, I felt more and more like a loner in my unrepentant fandom of the flick.



Now the sequel. Again, I'm excited. When I saw the first trailer with my gal, I nudged her and said we'd need to go, even if it was under the guise of her wanting to see it. I gasped -- a little, just a little, guys! -- when I saw Aidan pop up. I sunk into the familiar viewing groove when I heard Carrie's narration over the shimmery shots of Manhattan. Hell, I'm excited to hear Liza Minnelli's take on Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.'



I'll be there on opening weekend, sticking out like a sore thumb and not caring, but still wondering ... where are the others like me?

ME to Star Wars-"I love you!"- Star Wars says- "I know"




Would have loved to have been in LA last night for the 30th Aniversary screening/fundraiser of “The Empire Strikes Back”


In attendance- not pictured-Mark Hamill (Luke), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Billy Dee Williams(Lando), Ewan Mcgregor(young Obi-Wan) and Han Solo himself- Harrison Ford. He also did a Q&A after the film- oooooohhhhhh would that have been awesome to witness.
Made me nostalgic for many things Star Wars. This Weekend I am going to my parents house to go thruohg my stuff from the attic and I know I’ll find many classic Star Wars toys( along with some Batman stuff) here are a few classic and modern Star Wars products that stand out. (Via MSN)
 
 
Marvel released comics for all the 'original trilogy' films,  had many of these- including the GIANT one.


The 'Think Geek' site sells this. so you too can be Luke cuddling in the warmth of a TaunTaun.
TaunTaun smell not included.


I find your lack of Jam disturbing!
a toaster that imprints Lord Vader on your Toast.
Gotta wonder who came up with this one.


O Hasbro and their 'mail in' offers.  This was one of many- the main one I remember was the one for Boba Fett before he was released to buy in the store.  That one had the launchable rocket pack too.

And finally- the grail of Star Wars items


ANYTHING with "Revenge of the Jedi"
the original title of Episode VI. Then george decided , 'revenge' was not a Jedi concept.
I had a hat with this one it at one time- maybe I'll find it in the 'stuff from the attic'

Now if he had web shooters this would be Legendary, but it's still awesome!


"Spider-Man Foils Robbery in Comic Book Store" - www.asylum.com

http://www.asylum.com/2010/05/04/spider-man-foils-robbery-in-comic-book-store/?icid=asylum-iphone-url


In a neat case of life imitating art, while proving the former is much less exciting, a would-be comic book thief was apprehended at an Australian comic book store this weekend by a crimefighter wearing a full Spider-Man costume.



When store owner Michael Baulderstone spotted the customer slip a $150 "X-Men Omnibus" into his backpack and make for the exit, he knew he had to act fast.



With his Spidey-sense tingling -- he was wearing a full Spider-Man costume for International Free Comic Day -- the 45-year-old sprang into action and followed the thief through the store to challenge him.



Then, in a sight which makes us glad CCTV was invented, he demanded the man hand over his bag and carried it back through the Adelaide store, followed by the red-faced crook.



During the incident Spidey, sorry Michael, shouted over to a group of 40 other costumed comic book shoppers, including Jedi knights and the Flash, to block the door.



However, he says it was not until he asked the collected superheroes to call the police that they realized exactly what was happening. Until then they'd all thought it was a PR stunt.



Keep reading to see Spidey in action.
