Caution: If you call yourself a video game collector, this guy will make you feel very, very inadequate. Honestly, I never saw the allure of holding onto old video game systems but after watching this video, I am sorely nostalgic for all my old consoles. Everything in this collector’s room is gaming-centric, from the furniture [...]
This week’s League topic: Geek Confessions
May 14, 2012 By 46 Comments
This week’s League topic is sure to bring about a lot of gasps and shaking of heads, but I think it’s healthy to clear the air every now and then. This week’s league topic: —- What is something you absolutely hate or love or just don’t get, or maybe it’s something you have never even [...]

“Hey, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate!” That’s a wrap on another fantastic week for the League, which asked what would be the ultimate pop culture crossover event.

May 14, 2012 By 18 Comments
The yard sales were pretty good this weekend. We hit one neighborhood sale and two church sales, which I have started to really appreciate. The church sales are basically small flea markets, where a bunch of people get together in a parking lot to sell their items along with a bunch of stuff that was [...]

Want to know what I really like? “Bubble-headed” spacemen from the 50′s… Check out this vintage Buck Rogers frame tray inlaid puzzle I recently acquired on eBay.

Poster by Tom Whalen. 24″x36″ screen print. Hand numbered. Edition of 540. $50 I love Tom Whalen’s work and this Disney Pixar Toy Story poster is one of my favorites so far. I haven’t been trying for the Disney series of posters, primarily because I’m not a huge fan of the movies and wouldn’t really [...]
The ultimate Western crossover event
May 9, 2012 By 10 Comments
I alluded to this back in the “Expendables” post I wrote for the League a while back, but I just can’t help it, I love a good Western. So, the crossover I’d love to see would have to begin with the Earp brothers, Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan, and of course Doc Holliday–one of the greatest [...]

A while back, Shawn Robare of Branded in the 80′s suggested we do a League assignment along those same lines. This week’s league topic: —- What pop culture heroes or [...]

Apparently, my definition of “Sweet Ride” is different than others’ but that’s all part of the fun! Check out what the League members consider to be the sweetest ride [...]
