Thanks sir! Yeah, if I can pass down even a 10th of my weirdness and interests to the kids I'll be stoked.

No worries, I'm always stoked when anyone finds this place. Yeah, most nights I'm in bed when the kids go down at 8:00pm because I'm up at 2:00am taking my watch for the baby. I keep hearing it gets easier, clinging to that hope...

Thank you kindly sir and thanks for taking the time to check out my silly ramblings.

Thank you kindly, and I'm def hoping to come back to this in the future.

Thank you kindly sir, and even though I'm hitting the family stuff later than you did, I now know how much effort you put into being rad (as both a dad and a fellow creator.) Here's to raising awesome kids!

Thanks Jason, that means a lot coming from you sir.

Thanks sir! And that's my goal too. I want my kids to have a great childhood, hopefully enough that they're be just as nostalgic for theirs as I am for mine. And no worries, there's always a notebook with idea near by. I hope I can return to something in the future for sure.

Thanks Mickey, you know I'll still be around on social, and even though you can't see me listening, I'm still digging listening to you an Jason on TRN...

I think Frank Welker was just going for a stereotypical "southern drawl", but yeah I've only head a couple of folks in the Georgia area who come close, but not really. I lived in GA for 20 years and didn't come across that accent...

Re: Before & After Ecto Cooler there was…Ecto Cooler?

Very cool! Looking back I wish that I was in more of a Nostalgia mindset at the time, I could have paid more attention to the Crazy Citrus Cooler release while it was out too...

Totally. The fear in the marketplace to bet on sure things confounds me. Like how movie studios never release horror/monster movies in October. I mean, duh.

They pop up pretty regularly on ebay, just gotta be patient to find one cheap!

Totally remember them. Those are the white whale of my wife. She misses them dearly.

I did see an Optimus repaint as the gear truck for Jem recently. I really want that. I think it's by the same guy who did the Joe one... https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

It probably is the Mandela Effect for sure, or I slipped into an alternate reality for real this time and not just while role playing.

Weirdly so. It's like these stickers are finally experiencing their destiny...

There was definitely a period where Cool Ranch Doritos were my jam. Also, checking your memory because mine can be faulty, do you remember those chips having blue bits sprinkled in with the ranch flavoring dust? I do, but I may be just transferring my memories of the old blue bags onto the chips themselves. Another big one for me were Wise Calypso chips and Quackers crackers...

I've seen the Ghostbusters ones in both Sooner Snacks and Rowntree Snacks packaging...
