Why isn’t Hermey the tooth-obsessed elf in Predator: Badlands? The answer is less complicated than you might think.

Probable scam Instagram ad that is an unboxing video of a handheld gaming unit, but the video starts with this frame that I thought would be *much* different entertainment.

With the ongoing decline of the US, it’s a rare comfort that Jiffy muffin & cornbread mixes are still around and still ~$1-2 a box. Perfect to have a few boxes in your pantry for when you get a midnight muffin craving.

I made this 5 years ago and I can’t believe the Democrats keep it accurate every day since.

One of my best (worst?) recent bodge jobs is this monstrosity token guide for our SafeCracker. The width was created using double stick tape and some of our souvenir post cards. Then the channel is held in place with copious amounts of tape. It ain’t dumb if it works.

A safety sticker on this bag from China looks like it applies to both asphyxiation and just daily life in the US now.

This is not good. It tastes like someone put 2-4 drops of berry lemonade in a can of flat water. The only reason I finished it was that it cost me $4 and I needed the caffeine.

I haven't done a photoshop in a long time, so I'm hella happy with how this turned out.

I always cut out the motor cover on the back to improve air flow to the motor. On some models, this also allows access to lubricate the rear bearing.

Finally doing to long overdue house cleaning and found a penny. I should clean more often.

I love when a visitor makes the connection about why the game is called PINball.

The PPM is around the corner from a great donut shop. Occasionally they drop off a box of leftovers that I give out to members. Usually a blessing, today it’s a delicious curse.

Always fun to mad dog the JJP Elton John game camera.

Two of Poki’s old beds have been re-homed and are being put to good use.

I got my ancient mac laptop out to test out burning CDs for the jukebox, any they worked! Time to make some more compilations.
