No More May

 


That's how that meme works, right?

But in any case, summer is on its way, and it's time for a new post.

But honestly, not really feeling it this time around. I'll just post some random videos and pics I liked this month.


This Steamed Hams/Gorillaz mashup's been around for a few years, but I finally stumbled upon it a few days ago and can't stop listening to it. Everything is so synced up incredibly well.

Speaking of memes, a cel of He-Man in THAT pose went for over $2000. That video is over a decade old and has yet to get old.



Baby ducks are here!


And baby geese!


And a rabbit! They've been getting braver lately.



Tears of The Kingdom finally came out! 

...But I haven't bought it. Because I want to do stuff with my life right now. I'm not much a of a Zelda guy, but I'll admit I got interested in watching streams of it. Maybe I'll get it for Christmas.

It was Flea Market time once again! Only of the first treasures I found was a stack of uncut Garbage Pail Kids cards. But they've seen better days, so I left them be.

A pay phone has been one of the odder things I've found at one of these.

This was cool, but where would I put it?

Mood.

Something in the "shoulda bought" pile was this box of old Playbills, dating back to the sixties. They had at least three versions of Hello, Dolly. You have the original Carol Channing one above, and I also saw the version with Pearl Bailey. You can smell the Old Broadway in these. Or maybe it was the mustiness of being in a box for sixty years.

Plus the original Odd Couple. Yes, before Thomas Lennon and Matthew Perry, er, I mean Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, there was Art Carney and Walter Matthau as Felix and Oscar.


And finally, what I picked up there. These four pins only set me back ten bucks. There was a table that had a bunch of pins from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and these were the ones that stood out to me. That, and I'm not made of money. Around here I mostly see stuff from the 1964 NY World's Fair, so merch from any other big event in the country is pretty rare and I had to grab something from it.

I figured that other Atlanta icons made the cut for merch, like the Cabbage Patch Kids and Coca Cola, but there were quite a few pins of characters from Izzy's Quest For Olympic Gold. (I go into more detail about it in this entry). I left the Alice Ghostly voiced character pin for someone else.
