This feels like the Key & Peele Gremlins 2 skit of video games. "What about robots?" "They're in the game!" "What about giant spiders?" "They're in the game!" "Bats are pretty scary..." "Bats are in the game!"
Short box...tall box.
Retro calendar pictures for August. Once again, I think the TMNT one is by far the best.
Hit Half-Price Books to kill time before an appointment. Couldn't say no to Doug E Fresh and Ghostbusters 2!
Last night, The Late Night Baker's Club made our first baguettes with our new pan. The process took hours and then we ate half of one in under 10 minutes 😄 Definitely need to get a new razor for our scoring tool. They're a little ugly, but they taste great!
It's really sad that people don't seem to care about the struggles of mutant families that live in the dessert. With GPS, no one ever turns down the wrong road anymore. How are these families supposed to eat? I've started a new organization, The Hills Have Hearts, where for just $1 a day...
Went to the sculpture park today. Son and I and took some artsy photos, as well as some figure photos. Hopefully those 100 degrees days are behind us...
I went back to Savers today and the Outkast book was still there, so I knew it was a sign I should pick it up
I found a really cool kids' library book series at Savers called, Hip-Hop, by Mason Crest. They're sort of Crestwood Monsters for rappers. The line up is pretty great; there are definitely some I wouldn't mind picking up. But the only one I got Saturday was Wu, because Wu-Tang is for the children.
Came across this kiddie ride released in 1979, but was in production until the 1990s (I assume this catalog photo is from the 80s or 90s based on the kid's clothes and the photo quality). Could it have inspired the design of Roton or did they redesign the ride after Roton? 🤔
This ad is an all-timer! Rascal Robots, Micronauts, Star Wars, Star-Bird, Bronze Age Marvel, Shogun Warriors, Knight of Darkness... Give me a time machine, I'm going to Bennie's

Me, throws up hands: June and July have been chaos for my family. I really hope we can finally catch our breath in August. Back to School lingers outside in the hallway... Me, catching a glimpse of movement in the doorway: Damn it!
I tossed a dime into a well And made a wish as that coin fell And when I heard the splash, I knew My secret wish had just come true I had asked to grow some hair But I failed to mention WHERE… I joined the list of that well’s rubes And ended up with miles of pubes
Here's the Dropbox link for 8 color variations I threw together for this kickass sticker that @shawnrobare.com posted last week. If you'd like a certain color combo, let me know and I'll make it happen. Enjoy! www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/zv0sh...
I'll post some color variations later this weekend and share them on DropBox or something so everyone can download one for their kid's room/Man Cave/She Shed:

I went for a walk this evening and there’s a young adult Christian camp thing going on down the road away and they were all doing some creepy ass Midsommaresque howling and I, honest to god, don’t think I’ve ever felt such legitimate terror.
This reminded me that I needed to post the zines i just received in the mail! Thanks for the fun, @sanshinsoba.bsky.social! Look for an envelope heading your way next week.
Zine will be sent on the 15th of every month now. Creation is already underway. August will be fun. & I have goodies for Oct! I have a Kofi. Donations are not necessary, but if you want to tip or subscribe you can. Again, just my biggest thank you for playing nonsense with me! ko-fi.com/kifoxwrites
Whenever I'm fixing something around the house, I always ask myself why we haven't updated bad designs from the past. Why did I have to completely uninstall my garbage disposal to get to the wiring? Why is the wiring on the bottom where the unit is most likely to leak? It's 2026, people!

How about some old ass Star Wars stickers! There’s also some random Burger King prism stickers as well as a badass “Danger Do Not Enter This Room” sticker which feels like it would have been a cereal premium. Not sure though…
🧵16 years ago, I was incredibly jealous of all the people attending SDCC. So, I created my own fake con in Paducah, KY called, PaducahCon. The hook was, instead of having Hugh Jackman, PaducahCon had the *actual* Wolverine. So, it was better, see? The website still exists: paducahcon.wordpress.com

A Gen Z player on my wife's roller derby team thought the lyrics for Ice Ice Baby were: Something grabs ahold of me tightly Flow like a harpoon, Keira Knightley They asked my wife what that meant and my wife just looked at her like...

"6-inch Ganondorf" is a NSFW Google search. I know because I'm meeting with HR later today...
Hasbro The Legend of Zelda 6-inch Ganondorf, preorders go up tonight (7/22) around 8:00 PM ET.
I am Mellie, Destroyer of Worlds. What crimes against humanity do you think this little fuzzball has committed? Wrong answers only.
The streaming era is wild. This show is entering its third season and I didn't even know it existed. Are there more Walking Dead shows that I'm not aware of?
Maggie (Lauren Cohan) realizes that those walkers aren't going to clear themselves in the latest clip from AMC's The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3. / #DeadCity #TWD
