I was forced into a trip to the mall recently. While attempting to find some random hope of passing the time in the empty expanses of the place I stumbled across these happy little items from my childhood...
That is right, I found Garbage Pail Kids cards. Now for some reason I don't remember much of the 80's or large chunks of the 90's. I think it might be all the drinking and the ninja fighting. When I saw these cards something quickly came to mind, I remember everyone making a huge deal about these things. Also having weeks of nightmares after watching the movie. I guess it might be a good thing that I remember nothing about this part of the 80's. Regardless I was more then happy to pick up five packs of these things. I told myself that I was an adult now, and that I can do things like this. Nothing bad can happen, can it?
This picture turned out shittier then I imaged that it would. Basically they are just really, really fucking lame. I got a couple of a kid peeing in the corner and having it flood the room. Others have some kind of child ripping itself apart. Needless to say it came with alot of "Scary" green gum. I guess the biggest deal about that is that it could possibly look like vomit. I thought that was odd seeing as how it looked and smelled like sour apple. I threw a couple of pieces of it at my roommates and house guests...
I wouldn't call that terror. I would call it a forced smile though. From everything that I could gather nothing was wrong with this gum, besides the fact that it was horribly average in every way. Considering that I was horribly depressed at this point, clearly disappointed in apparently how lame I was as a small child, and to top it all off I was trying to write a rant about these things. Hell, they weren't even cards, they were just dumb stickers that only caused and issue because they were targeted at children ages 3-6. Hell, if you say "chainsaw" or "blood" around things that age (including wine) it has a habit of becoming unneededly frightened.
After some quick thought I decided to make this a short rant and bring up one other thing that I bought...
My Medabots models. These things are all kinds of unneeded coolness. First you start off with this metal frame that is supposed to be the "Universal skeleton" and build them off of that. Because the basic skeletons are all the same all parts are interchangeable. Now this might not be that cool to most people, but they basically made it so you build these models the same exact way that you would build a real Medabot. Just not real. Or with the power to take over a small country. And much smaller then the real size. And plastic. Also some parts can break pretty easy cause they are mass produced by people in some country that I have never heard of, but am guessing is in Asia. I think you get the idea.
What I would like to talk about is the strange one in the center. If you notice it is some kind of clear "metal" that would seem to offer no form of protection from things like bullets of the undead. This is one of the things that I will never understand about Japanese people. There need for toys to be see through. I am sorry, if I want to buy something to have it sit around my room and look kick ass, then I don't want it to be see through.
So here is a list of things I don't understand about Japanese people
1: Tentacle
rape anime
2: Why they give the
peace sign as a symbol of thumbs up
3: Clear toys
4: Bukkake
5: Roller Skates
That is pretty much the list. But to end this rant on even more of a random note that has nothing to do with anything, here is one of the models half finished!
