Remember the Bat-Tussi?

The 60's Batman and Robin, Adam West and Burt Ward (ironic last name as he played Batman's ward on the show) will be attending Fan Expo this summer in Toronto.

PS - They don't need molded plastic to improve their physique!

PPS - How come Batman doesn't dance anymore???

Great, but forgotten TMNT NES game...

Still no TMNT Arcade game for NES, or Turtles in Time for SNES, which are the holy grail of Turtles games...but still rad!

Classic E&C!!!!

Steve's Favorite Summer Jams Vol. 346346

With Summer just weeks away, I decided to sporadically list some of my favorite tunes, tunes that play much better in the warmer months.

Daylight - Matt & Kim

Please check it. If you can honestly admit it's not catchy I will buy you slurpee!

If this came to pass...

I would want to shower at a minimum of 17 times a day, yet try to make said showers short in length in an effort to still be manly and also aid the environment!

WTF?

A fitting name for the song/video of this OK GO tune, which one can only assume with the taking of drugs the visuals would be accentuated a billion-fold.

But I give hugs, not drugs and slurpees, not herpes. Therefore, I will enjoy the greatness of this vid as is.

Closing Time...

Two days ago, alongside my Mom and Aunt Shelley, I visited my Grandparents house for the last time.

It was totally empty save for two clocks, a table, two glasses which my Papa used when he consumed his trademark concoction of vodka and five alive, one I took as a souvenir, and some items in the shed which included my old Bart Simpson skateboard, which I broke the back wheels off when I stood on it. Apparently ol' Bart wasn't prepared for the increase in weight since we last met.

It was almost surreal making my last rounds at the house on 164 Simcoe - in a way it didn't seem like the place where I spent almost twenty-six years of my life.

It provided a sense of closure at the end of the day, I guess. Something I still don't want to come to terms with, but such is life.

Despite how much it rattled me, I was glad I went and saw it one last time anyways. What I took away from it was a harsh reality that I would never step foot in that house again. But I also took with me the two and a half decades of awesome times I spent in that house - and my Papa's shot glass, haha!
