Summertime used to be when everything was a bit slower and felt like it stretched out forever. Living out in the country there was plenty of time and no reason to hurry. It was visits to the grandparents and short vacations, daytime movie trips, the alluring fragrance of a freshly watched VHS tapes, character cereal-with no need to wolf it all down(no bus-no rush), … Continue reading The League!!!! Summertime Guarantees
This is my first time hearing of this colossal Pop Culture & Americana auction. I must say I am extremely excited about all the items up for bid.
I have picked out a few of my favorites.
When I was younger, I used to go to a lot of Toy Fairs with my dad, and I’ve picked up old star wars figures, various cars and other random stuff. I also used to go to auctions and little sales that we could find as well. This Hake’s auction is a whole new beast. They have everything from concert posters to prototype action figures.
All the pics will be direct links to their appropriate auction webpage so you have no excuse to not start bidding!!!!
Also, Hake’s will pick a post from this week’s League assignment, and give that poster $100 dollars to spend on any auction they want! So that’s pretty damn cool.
Lets take a closer look at some of the better pieces:

This week the topic was where the nerd inside of you wants to go. This week it took me a bit of thinking to figure out where in the world I would go. Continue reading “The League!!! Pop Culture Road Trip”
Another week and another League post. What I made was: Pizza. I know what you’re thinking: “Hey this is a joke, he’s not proud of cooking a frozen pizza?” Yes he is dammit!

Look What I Made!
I must confess it has been a considerable amount of time since I have caught up with the league. Unfortunately, I have been absent from the game for period and am squeezing my way into the fray once again.
This edition from the League of Extraordinary Bloggers, is about showing who you are by showing off some of your shelves.
We will be exploring pretty much any flat surface that can hold something at my apartment. Hopefully, some connections will be made or you will think I am an insane person who desperately needs to be committed. Either way, here we go.
Starting y’all off easy with action figures.
The things in life that turn out exactly how you want them to are fantastic. They can send a wave of relief washing over you and serve to lure you back a few paces from the edge. For every triumphant soldier/post there are many fallen ones that couldn’t quite stand on their own. However, if some of these wounded warriors band together they can also … Continue reading Missed Chances (The Forgotten)
If you are unaware of this amazing character, he is the costar of: The Big Lebowski, directed and written by the Coen Brothers. If you have never seen the movie here’s what he looks like: Walter is my absolute favorite character in the movie and I continue to watch it repeatedly, on a Howard Hughes-“Ice Station Zebra” level of repetition. This is due 100% to … Continue reading League of Extraordinary Bloggers: My Latest Obsession
Once again its time for The League of Extraordinary Bloggers weekly article. This marks my second post with the league, and this time it’s all about my favorite Christmas memory.

First, I need to give … Continue reading League of Extraordinary Bloggers-Christmas Memories
I have traveled to several states around the country in the South and the Midwest as well as the East coast. And in those travels (aside from all the general prettiness of the landmarks and other fantastic sites that are available to be taken in), there are places that seem overlooked or disregarded. These poor dregs are the red-headed stepchildren (so-to-speak) of the tourist trade. … Continue reading Gas Station Uniqueness
