Combine your love of The Simpsons and WWE in the newest Simpsons Guest Stars Figures
Star Trek, Television, Wrestling on May 19, 2014 at 4:29 pm by JohnScottThe newest wave in The Simpsons Top 25 Greatest Guest Stars figurines allows you to combine your love of The Simpsons with WWE, Magic (non-The Gathering type),or Star Trek. If your current Bret Hart or Spock figures aren’t cartoony enough, or you really wanted to make a Penn and Teller or Stephen King diorama, these just might be for you. I can remember almost all the other appearances in the line, but I had no idea the “Excellence of Execution” was ever on The Simpsons. Or that he parlayed that appearance into voice acting on the Canadian cartoon Jacob Two-Two, based on the popular children’s book series. You learn something new every day! Wave Three should just be hitting shelves now, and with any luck you can still find Waves 1 and 2.

Saturday Six – First Concerts You Ever Attended
Music, Saturday Six on May 17, 2014 at 8:30 am by JohnScottLast week I talked about how I didn’t get to attend the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Coming Out of Their Shells tour. So this week I thought I’d go through a list of tours that I actually did get to attend. Only music tours though, so no discussing my trips to the Ice Capades, or the Masters of the Universe Power Tour, the He-Man and She-Ra themed roller skate tour (yes, that was a real thing that I actually attended in 1987 when I was 6).

Take it Or Leave It – May 14, 2014
Take It Or Leave It on May 14, 2014 at 8:55 pm by JohnScottI’m gonna do this a little differently this week, since the first 3 parts of Superman: Doomed all shipped together this week, I’m going to take them all on as a whole. And then some Star Trek for good measure. Because of course I would.
Don’t forget to call your Mom today, especially after she put up with all your shit your entire life. To commemorate this 100th Mother’s Day, I present Mr. T rapping to remind you to treat your momma right.

Saturday Six – First Music You Ever Purchased
Music, Saturday Six on May 10, 2014 at 12:00 pm by JohnScottSo this week marked the 50th release in the Now That’s What I Call Music series here in the States, which is a lot of crappy pop music, going back to 1998. This got me to thinking about all the crappy pop music I used to listen to as a kid, so I’ll embarrass myself and share the list of the first 6 pieces of music (non Pocket Rocker) I ever paid my own money for.
