I bought this Rally IV Pong machine by Roberts years ago because it's the same system I owned as a kid. I never hooked it up or even opened the box. I'm never going to play it. What should I do with it?

I found an old Skedoodle toy at an estate sale last weekend. The best part about having a toy booth is I can buy stuff like this, play with it for a couple of weeks, and then pass it along to someone else. #vintage #retro #toys #1980s

Picked up this Alexander's Star Puzzle over the weekend. I guess it's for people who thought a Rubik's Cube was too easy. I am not one of those people.

I registered with 3 pixelfed servers and never got accepted so idk. But, imgbb[.]com seems to work globally (tested it with vpn thru Manchester) so I've switched to that. Thanks again for the head's up.

One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Trip to the Doctor Since people rarely read my entire blog posts I'll start this one with a one sentence summary: while stealing a broken music keyboard from my neighbor's trash pile I wrecked our eBike so badly I ended up at the doctor's office and getting referred to leg wound care. The longer version is slightly funnier. Our...

All I wanted was a free keyboard. www.robohara.com?p=15649

One of these things is not like the other. Both came from garage sales and both cost around $10. The Sanyo (top) doesn't work at all; the Aiwa (bottom) works 100%.

Someone tell me how long Alf magazine was in existance and what the content was like and if you're interested in bringing it back with me. Alf 2026, we can do it.

This cozy little gaming setup is located in the lobby of Gambit's, the place on #Route66 where we have our toy booth. Sometimes when my wife is restocking the booth I play a little Super Mario Bros. myself. #toystore #toybooth #collector #retro #nostalgia

Do you like monsters? I like monsters... but I'm out of room. :( I took these Imaginext figures up to our toy booth along with a bunch of Disney, GI Joe, and other 1.75" figures. Gotta make room for new toys!

It looks like the main pixelfed[.]social is not accepting new accounts and the rando one I picked (gram[,]social) has a 10GB limit and no way I can see to pay for more. I'll poke around for a solution though; had no idea this was an issue. imgdurrrrr

Man, I had no idea about imgur doing that -- thanks for the head's up. I'll look into alternative image hosting. HostGator tricked me into an unlimited hosting plan and then changed it on me, forcing me to off-source some of my images. I am old and still think of the internet as being universal :/

One Great Burger in One Weird Restaurant I'm not too good to eat at a greasy spoon diner. I've had some great meals at places with wobbly tables and sticky salt and pepper shakers. Last week I had a fantastic burger at a hole in the wall res...

Wasn't expecting to find a New York Yankees Jack-in-the-Box in a random Goodwill in Oklahoma, but this one popped up. Get it? Popped up?

Electronic Football🏈 was my favorite handheld game followed by baseball⚾ and basketball🏀. I don't think I've ever played a hockey🏒 one before. Sometimes it's hard to tell new ones from old ones but what I've learned is that if they work they're probably new ones😂😂😂

The original Rogue had a boss key. I used to bring it to school on a floppy disk and play it in the library and used the boss key quite often.

I Feel Good Listen now | There are many reasons to watch movies.

What are some of your "go to" movies when you just want to chill out and feel good for 90 minutes? Here are four of mine, one of which involves 150 Munchkins and ISN'T the Wizard of Oz. www.videostorepodcast.com/p/i-feel-good #podcast #movies #videostore #chill

I picked this up for our toy booth but if it doesn't sell I will keep it. Next to my original Tron cycles I have "things that look like Tron cycles." If that's not a specific collection I don't know what is.

A Windfall at Winstar? Visiting the World’s Largest Casino Last week, Susan and I took a mini-vacation to Winstar Casino, located on the Oklahoma/Texas border. Winstar's claim to fame is that it is the world's largest casino. I don't know if it has the most m...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who are Irish and all who wish they were! Eight years ago today Susan and I were out having a Guinness at a local Irish pub. We should make that an annual tradition!

It’s Fun to Sweat at the YMCA Susan and I are both a little sore, but in a good way and for good reason as we've spent an hour every other night over the past two weeks working out at the YMCA. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HAXZUhm.jpe...

I am consistently shocked by the price these old metal lawn chairs. This dual-chair was $85; there was a single one for $50. We had a set of green ones when I was a kid and it seems like every single house had a set in their backyard. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic
