Star Trek Handheld That Never Was
I just stumbled onto a Star Trek Toy I had never heard of before. While this is not a very surprising statement to many people, I pride myself in knowing quite a bit about Star Trek collectibles. After all I have been collecting the stuff for nearly twenty years now. I am far from an…

Yummy Peanut Butter Meltaways
My all time favorite candy is the peanut butter meltaway. I try not to eat them very often because I am allergic to peanuts, but since the allergy is not a sever one yet I do indulge every once in a while. Way back in the 80’s I used to love Gardner’s Candies PB Meltaway.…

Phooey on the Foo Fighters
The foo fighters are suing Marvel Comics for using one or two of their Songs in a promo for the new X-men cartoon. I for one think it is ridiculous. How can they claim damages when no one even remembers who the foo fighters are? Heck, I would think they should be happy with the…

Wolverine and the X-Men Trailer
Here is the offending trailer to the new Marvel cartoon Wolverine and the Xmen [most likely we’ll never get this cartoon since these guys are being buttheads about the use of their music….as if it is hurting them any having it used here].
