An early tie in a Game 5 sure hits different today. See you all in the 15th!

It was great fun seeing sports posts from mutuals roll across the feed last night. That’s a 3rd love of mine (along with comics and cooking).

The arcade game homage!

Alt: Shows play from the Breakout arcade/video game where you have a paddle, and keep bouncing a “ball” back against a wall to destroy each block one at a time. Closest I could find to the original Atari 2600 version I played

Nice, what a crazy cover - and one I don’t think I’ve ever seen

Finally remembered to do #shakeyourclz w/out seeing someone else’s. Randomly got (adjectiveless) X-Men #2 (1991) - I’m old school, only post the first shake.

Just for fun, here are my two Magneto t-shirts. Which one I wear depends mostly on my mood. #magnetowasright

Screen grab from the CLZ comic collecting app, shows the cover for X-Men #2 (1991). Magneto seems to have beaten the X-Men, Charles is more unhappy than usual. Says “Magneto triumphant”

Agreed! I bake mostly for myself so half of the cookies will go in the freezer, joining some chai sugar cookies and Mexican wedding cookies. To your point, I’ll pull out a cookie or two whenever it strikes my fancy.

Ha, right before I read this I put out the ingredients to make oatmeal raisin cookies! Yours look great.

I went to the rerelease of The Dark Crystal few years ago, and it was about as magical and weird as I thought it might be.

Added bonus: my pre-teen daughter didn’t quite get it, but at home kept making the (Chamberlain) Hhhhmmmmm? sound at me in pretty much every situation for a couple weeks

These are my X-Men, who are sometimes overlooked by others. And love the costumes, only cause they imprinted on my newly emerged comic reading self

I just added a comment shout that and also the Discs of Tron game, which I had forgotten about until I looked for gameplay for the original game on YouTube

1,000 pts to you, that’s awesome! A screening of The Goonies must have been amazing

Bet you hadn’t thought about that movie in a long time. Neither had I!

Truth be told, I got there from Kindergarten Cop, then Twins, then… Momma.

I’ve never done a project like that, but (badly) painted just enough models and miniatures in middle and high school to really appreciate your attention to detail.

Wow, this is looking fantastic. It has been fun following along.

Pizza night tonight: turkey pepperoni, red onion, jalapeño and garlic

After 8-10? times making+taking notes with the crust recipe, officially promised myself I’d stop fiddling with ingredients, proof, prep, bake. Kind of stumbled my way here, hope it still works the next time!

Side note 2: I only have one piece of comic Original Art. It’s a page from Eight Billion Genies #3 (page 4). Which is such an incredible series.

Got it because it has Jim Morrison, Ernest Hemingway and Dorothy Parker having drinks together at a bar.

Side note: the podcast focuses mostly on collecting original screen uses movie/comic props, so the beginning has a short update on prop stuff.

Both hosts work in Hollywood. One worked on Seinfeld and Veep, among others. The other is a main show runner for the House of the Dragon.
