i long for the days when it was marine world africa usa. if you have any smidgen of happy memories there, i highly suggest you not even drive down 80, let alone set foot there again. it's horrible. they were losing money so six flags bought them and literally slapped a bunch of roller coasters on where the parking lot used to be. you can still see handicapped parking spots underneath the coasters, which just have chain-link fences around them. it's horrible. most of the old stuff is still there, but it's completely lost its charm with the whole six flags **** they put up everywhere.

i highly suggest NOT going there again. and no, i never did the snow thing, but i always wanted to. oh well.

sorry to derail the thread. ummm... old stores from the 80's, yep, i remember those. oh yeah.

a funeral home is full of substance? full of dead people, maybe.

i'm 33% as well, sweetie. watch out.

word. joel is one of the most brilliant folks ever. i wish he was more prolific these days.

i'm down with this flick, but i'm a little sick of the burton/depp collaborations. i couldn't love burton's stuff more, but i wish he would expand his actor bank beyond depp and his current  girlfriend(s).

wait durge - what's the deal with the invisible hand guy? is that you?

that avatar of his is all the more interesting, now.

anyone nab a sweetums yet? i'm still debating on the $40 tab... by all accounts it looks like the  muppet figure to end all muppet figures, but damn... $40... the line is winding down, but it looks like the palisades people aren't going down without a fighting chance - series 10 is going to be online only, and they're developing ideas and prototypes for beyond - looks like a line of vet hospital figures. let's hope they come through.

and here's the new ebay exclusive, available now for $20:



that would look nice with my rudolph figs...
