You can't even re-enact the leg crossing scene from the Basic Instinct movie; get someone walk your dog without having being forced to leave your job.
Not surprising when that region is home to a hotbed of gangsta impersonators called Menstrual Tension Society.Quote:

Lo and behold, I discovered the 8th Super Sentai series called Choudenshi Bioman (from 1984) and that the mecha which featured in this series was the very toy we played with!
Just last night, I was reading about the “Unseen” Mechwarrior designs and came across a design which looked very similar to a small diecast robot toy I used to play with. After further digging around I found out I was playing with a figure from the Fang of the Sun Dougram anime (from 1981).
Sadly I don’t have any of these toys anymore but it’s cool to finally discover the story behind them and that they were actually licensed merchandise, not just some random cheap generic toy.

The way it works, you’ll eventually stumble across the story in some random part of the internet :)

Okay... I must be on Autocon's ignore list. That's fine, but he's obviously unable to see my previous post which answered the question, so could someone please let him know that these toys and the castle are from Supernaturals?Quote:

I can see wooden doors underneath the coffin. Was there a running change? Or knock off?
Photo please?
The wooden door is on the Tomb of Doom playset - the coffin is just an accessory. I honestly haven't looked at Supernaturals since the 80s so I'm working off 30 year old memories here.

I think you don't remember your childhood as well as we do. :D
Other than Snake Mountain, this is the only other castle with purple I could find so it must be this.

^ Purple equates to evil Decepticons ... hence, therefore Disney is evil...
I'll admit it, I was never into Super Naturals. My childhood was dominated by Transformers and I remember that a lot, but Super Naturals was something that I barely paid attention to. I bought just one of those toys and played with it for about 2 years before getting sick of it. Not like buying most Transformers and playing with them for 30+ years and never getting sick of them. ;)Quote:

Indeed people can be wasteful. I try to model my behaviour to the likes of George Costanza. Oh wait, do I see an untouched choc eclair on a paper towel in the bin...Quote:

Have you heard a sexy voice on the radio / phone then see an actual pic of that person & think WTF. Nothing like how I pictured that person to be.
Lets not mention any of your partners here ok.
Yesterday I was at a parking station and it was pretty full up. I spied a spot which got me excited for a moment until I realised it was a handicapped space, so I reversed away from it and went on to find a free non-handicapped spot. On my way back to my car I find that someone else has taken that handicapped spot with no disabled parking permit displayed. On my way out of the parking station I buzzed the intercom and reported the vehicle to security.
^ Megan Fox. Those thumbs are pretty hideous. But you're right Gok. She should know better & display the permit in the car.

Looking foward to the extensive deep intellectual dialogue.
^ too harsh mate. Give them a chance, after all they all are very altruistic in wanting "World peace" and all.

I believe its because the three crows weren't politically correct anymore so they were recasting them with three seagulls. Personally I think its whitewashing at its very worst.Quote:
