Note to Guy Smiley: This kind of outfit clash only works if you’re a girl trying to be artsy. Wow, it’s too early for this….. Coming Next week! Kitschy Monster toys and merchandise from the 70’s, Halloween costumes and a lot more!

I remember my Uncle Dan had all this stuff at his house before he had kids, he may still have it. It’s all so hilarious, I imagine that a whole evening alone could be spent laughing at that toilet ice bucket. What’s really funny about this is i bet all of this stuff (including a […]

Added a new page to plaidstallions.com about the kind of weird 1970’s Seaworld waterskiing show. You can check it out here.

I must have missed this episode, maybe after the whole “Spock’s Brain” mess, Kirk made him wear a flashing hemlet so they wouldn’t fall into the same trap again. It’s fun to think about Nimoy trying to do his lines with a straight face while wearing this.
