Old school bitches!

I'm usually pretty good about remember to bring things back and forth when ever I go to Cranbrook.  I've forgotten to take stuff back to Cranbrook for storage purposes, but I've never forgotten anything when I came back to Calgary.  Until this trip!  I actually forgot a few things including a work shirt, my slippers, a Nirvana CD and my razor.   I miss my slippers the most as I'm pretty much wearing them all the time when I'm at home unless I'm sleeping or showering.  I'm going to have to go buy some new ones on my day off.

To balance out the stuff I forgot I brought triple the amount of junk back to Calgary.  Liquidation World had some cool and useless stuff that I bought anyway.  I got this big Monsters Vs Aliens Insectosaurus pillow that I put on the couch for extra comfort.  I also got some sweet pose-able Power Rangers zords including the original Mighty Morhpin' Mega Zord.


I picked up this handy dandy Game Boy carrying case from AABCO for $5.  It seems pretty hefty for a carrying case, it's more like a suitcase.  Check out the Game Boy Tetris cartridge on the bottom left for reference.  I need to start buying small stuff.  Maybe I should start stamp collecting?


The Man Without Fear!  No, it's not Ben Affleck, it's Daredevil.  I got this guy in a bag with some other toys for $1.50 from the Hospital Auxiliary.  I kept Daredevil and the other toys went in the garbage.  They sucked, I'm sorry.  Yes, he looks pretty worn, but that's what I like about him, he looks totally old school vintage.  Is he old school vintage?  I don't know.   There isn't a date stamped on him, only "Hong Kong".  I'll take a wild guess and say late 70's??

why is he carrying a candy cane?
and when I saw that first pic load I was like, "were gameboys really that big?" it's been awhile but still..

It's not a candy cane! There is no white strip. He uses it to beat up bad guys. It later changed from a hooked handle cane to two straight sticks, so he can beat up bad guys twice as fast.

Game Boys were almost as big. They should've included the battery pack as an accessory case.
