I'm old enough to remember when that Leatherface standee was in video rental stores, and ads in Fangoria where you could order one for your very own.
Full page ad as seen in Fangoria by Cannon Films and Media Home Entertainment promoting the home video release of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986), available on videocassette and laser videodisc.
Celebrate this momentous occasion with your own Leatherface 6 foot Standee, Vac-U-Form 3-D Poster, and puff printed T-shirt.  
They won't cost you an arm and a leg.  Order these now!

I've known about Shy People for ages, never have gotten around to watching it. And you'd think I would have, considering it's been forty years and I'm still thinking about The Mosquito Coast.. Well, this one scene, anyway.

Hardbodies may've been second best for 45 Grave's Party Time, but it was arguably the very best for Darcy DeMoss and the Big Weenies building. Back around 1985, I got to watch Hardbodies like thirty times in a single month when it was in heavy rotation on Big 80s HBO. What a time to be alive.
Mural painted on the wall of a building featuring a bikini clad blonde hugging a huge hot dog.  Nighttime shot.
Text reads:  big weenies are better

Long Ago, a Pilot Landed on an Uptown Street. That's Where the Bar Was.
In 1956, a drunken Thomas Fitzpatrick made a barroom bet, and then to win it he stole a plane in New Jersey and plopped it down on St. Nicholas Avenue. He did something similar two years later.

Filled up with gas for the first time in a long while, first time I've gotten gas at all in months. Likely the last time I'll get ethanol free, which I've been running for twenty years. It's 50¢ a gallon higher and CO-OP has new pumps with screens that play 'country' videos and commercials.
