5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Plaidstallions McDonald’s Captain Crook Promotional Hats (eBay Link) – I’ve never in my life had a “Fillet O’Fish” sandwich, and that ain’t changing (allergic), but if they were handing these out in the 1970s? I’d have pushed people down to get one. I liked freebies a whole bunch. […]

Kenner Venus Space Probe (eBay Link) – As a dabbler in Kenner’s Six Million Dollar Man stuff, I’ve kind of resigned to the notion I’ll never own one of these. They are pricey and rare, and well, they never turn up around here. I do kind of hope I get to play with one sometime, […]

  Star Trek: The Motion Picture Belt Buckle (eBay Link) – This belt buckle is almost as big as the ones in the movie; they were “Graceland” big. What makes me laugh is, did anyone walk out of that movie with a desire to copy that dress sense?     Vintage 70s Spider-Man kids shirt […]

MASH 4077 Beer (eBay Link) – I was about to say, “I don’t remember this,” but then I realized a) I was nine and b) I only knew the beer my dad bought, and well, he liked the German stuff. Now I like the German stuff because I stole much of his beer.  Dyn-O-Mite Mug […]

CB Sweater from the 1970s (eBay Link) As a survivor of the CB radio/Trucker craze of the 1970s I have no explanation for it. I knew what I was doing but it’s like I wasn’t in control. All that lingo I memorized is by and large, useless in my present-day life. The World’s Greatest Shoes […]

  Imperial Toys Buck Rogers Pencil Toppers store displays (eBay Link) – As an acolyte of Rack Toys and Buck Rogers, these are….chef’s kiss.
