This 1976 NBC series about a pair of crusading loan officers helping people consolidate their debt load, relied too much on accounting jargon and featured little to no action sequences, save for when Stanley and Lamar would run for coffee. The show was decimated by ABC’s “Starsky and Hutch”, which held the same timeslot and […]
Mike T submitted this more recent mall appearance photo, it’s from 1991 (that’s what i consider recent) and it’s his kids with Dave Steven’s classic creation, The Rocketeer at Potomac Mills Mall near Woodbridge, Virginia . I didn’t know there were appearances such as this but it makes total sense considering the costume. Send us […]
Well, you guys made it hard to decide but I’ve finally picked my three favourites out of the great submissions I received. I can’t believe how many of you heard that “Gene Simmons had a cow’s toungue surgericly implanted” thing, I used to believe that but not the “KISS went to Mars” my deskmate Andrew […]

Perhaps it was the beer or that crazy disco beat but for some reason, Sam decided it was the perfect moment to grab himself a handful of Jim….
It’s contest time again and instead of trivia, I thought it’d be more fun to share personal stories, namely “What’s the worst BS rumour you heard on the playground as a kid?” I’ll share a couple: In 78, I was that unfortunate kid who didn’t see Star Wars when it came out, my pal Gerry […]
Jamie submitted this great photo of him and Spidey to the PlaidStallions Facebook Page , I forgot to ask the date but judging by the cool Jaws Type Rubber shark he’s holding I’m going to guess 1976… Send us your Mall Appearance photos!
