Best Wishes from Batman and Wonder Woman

click for a larger version My pal Scott hooked me up with this incredible “autographed” promotional photo of Sea World Batman and Wonder Woman, I now owe him a coke. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this particular image and while wall space is limited in the lair, this one is getting framed. Send me […]

Batman and the Orange Hand

Batman and the Orange Hand My friend Todd from Hake’s Americana sent me this incredible bit of 1970s weirdness. It’s a UK promotional catalog where Batman solves a case inexplicably by buying a young boy some polyester pants and a few sweaters.  Never has there ever been an item so fitting to what this website […]

The Mack Brothers

Will their awesome ability to do the robot be enough to save the community center from the clutches of “the man”? Tune in this Friday at 9 to find out!

Orr…Bobby Orr

I recall having the Regal Bobby Orr doll as a kid, mostly because one of his skates remained in my curbside until about 1980 as a constant reminder. Me not being much of a Hockey fan, never really knew what to do with him and probably just made him a member of the Adventure Team. […]

Like most of the contests I’ve run here, I’ve really enjoyed reading the input from you all and found it hard to make a decision. You can read the results after the jump. First off I was originally only going to […]

We’re on route 9, next to the “Dad and Lad”.

Cylon Socks

Yep, two days of Battlestar Galactica themed items, you have died and gone to heaven. I think I finally found something even dorkier than these. There is just something so odd about trying to make tube socks cool.. I also love the wonderful merging of themes here, is this toy love or fashion mockery? Why, […]
