A Day In The Life And A Knock Off Hogan !

My mom comes up to me today holding this can of Progresso Soup and says" Ya see this can?" In her thick NY accent. " I need you to find me the same soup, just not as spicy. I love the taste it's just too damn hot!" I laughed and told her no problem. Then she says " Wait a minute, are you gonna be able to remember the brand and flavor when you get to the store?" I tell her " Mom. We have phones now. With built in cameras! I'll  take a picture of it  and pull it up at the store for reference!" She says" Oh! That's a good Idea!" 😂😂😂   Gotta love her! 
In other news. Remember these guys?!? Looking through my stash I stumbled across my good ol' knock-off Hulk Hogan figure. My god these sucked but not entirely. The resemblance to the actual wrestlers wasn't too bad and they made for a decent wrestling match in the absence of any official WWF figures. I also have a Jimmy Superfly Snuka floating around somewhere. Good memories, good times!

    Hope you're able to find that soup for your mom. I like spicy (and Italian sausage)... so I'm gonna be on the lookout for that exact soup.

      It looks pretty damn tasty. I haven't tried it yet.

    Yes - knockoff Hulk Hogan. Oh - and yeah - did you get the less spicy soup. Inquiring minds want to know.

      Haven't hit the grocery store yet, Jigs. Once the list gets made, Progresso Italian Style Wedding "Mild" will be at the very top 😆

    It's the complete opposite between me and my mom. She's considerably more knowledgeable about computers and phones than I am.

    Kudos to your mom 😆 Mine rolls with a flip phone. She's like an 80s drug dealer😂

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
