The Ultimate `80s Sticker Collection.

Can't believe I managed to get this done during the week, but guess what: A new article, during the week! I picked up this insanely odd (but definitely interesting) Sticker Collection a while back, featuring plenty of old favorites, from Gremlins to Garfield to stickers that smell like baby powder if you claw at them. The way the pages are organized is completely genuine -- I didn't just slap a bunch of stickers together for effect. That's what makes it interesting -- the pages you'll be seeing were some kid's pride and joy. Regardless, chances are high that you've had a few of these babies -- though I'm not sure a great many of you enjoyed "Noah's Ark" stickers. Deprived. Read, enjoy -- it won't be posted on the main page till I get home from work tomorrow (probably with a better logo header, yeah), so consider this an early gift from the sticker form of Zeus. Edit: Okay, it's up now.

Random Fact: I originally canned the article for lack of star power, and while in the process of converting it into a little blog entry, it grew back into a full feature. Just another chapter in the long line of X-E trivia tidbits. Did you know that I own Pluto?

Matt, are the little titles before each page description some kind of secret code? APPLES, ORANGES, JACKPALANCES…What it god’s name does it all mean?

I once got a scratch n sniff on my homework that had a motorcycle on it, and smelled like motor oil. Not my favorite sticker.

I just got a new puppy, and named it Piper honoring legendary grappler Roddy Piper.. although I’ve yet to teach him the sleeper hold.

I still collect stickers too. One of the best ones I have is a Smello Mello cherry ice cream scented one. I’m inspired to go look at my old albums.

You know, this article reminds me of when I was a youngin’ in potty training. Every time I used the potty by myself, I got to put a sticker on this scroll my Mom made. For peeing by myself, I got to put up a yellow sticker, since pee is yellow. For shitting all by myself, I got to put up a sticker of multiple colors, because my poop was multi-colored. Well…OK…so my shit wasn’t multi-colored, but the rest of the story is true.

I have an interesting idea. We could make a puzzle out of it and try to fgiure out which stickers fit inside which borders. But don’t expect me to do it cuz hey, I’m just offering a suggestion to yall.

My wife was a preschool teacher for a while and she tells me I would be amazed how kids would whore themselves for a sticker. My 4 year old always has a sticker on top of each hand lately, and gets stressed if they come off.

We have 2 cockatiels, Gaby & Valentine. They pretty much hate me and will bite any chance they get. I think they are related to Crow from last year’s Advent Calender.

Matt,

I forgot to say that I think it would be funny if you left the Christmas decorations up all year! :)

My Pets

Living in a dorm and all, I personally don’t have any pets for the simple fact that I’m not allowed to. However, my brother owns the cutest cat ever. Instead of telling you what he looks like, I think it’d be better if I just showed you a pic:

http://photobucket.com/albums/y5/Mister_NES/?action=view&current=IMG00001.jpg">Awww! So cute!!!!!

But don’t be fooled. He’s very ornery! He likes to play a lot, but don’t you dare try to hold him. He will fight for his life to get out of your grip. Of course, we still do it to him anyway. If you wanna touch him, just pet him on top of his head. He likes that. But just a little.

Was it wrong of me to figure out that the first border sheet probably contained my little pony stickers before I even finished scrolling through the rest of the article and seeing the actual stickers in all of their glory? I mean, I never owned a my little pony, so why am I able to do this? I’m a little bit scared of myself right now…

Chestnuts roasted by Michael @ 03/26/2005 2:26 PM

Hey – totally unrelated, but I have a question that some visitor of this page will absolutely dig on. Anyway, I was had a few converastions yesterday about that doll that was all over the news after eating a kids hair. I say it was a Cabbage Patch, but I’ve heard other arguements, such as it being a Baby Alive. What is the truth?

Chestnuts roasted by Tougi @ 03/26/2005 3:05 PM

It was a Cabbage Patch Kid. :)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 03/26/2005 3:18 PM

Cabbage Patch Snackin’ Kids or some varient of that. Had plastic carrot and celery sticks, you just shoved one into the mouth, it would "chew" on the thing, drawing it into the mouth and into an interior compartment for later retreival. Then came the hair incidents! "The doll tried to eat my baby!" cried concerned parents. "Chomp chomp chomp!" answered the dolls. Chucky commented, "Don’t look at me! Those things creep me out!" Lawsuits were threatened, recalls were implemented, and a good time was had by all.

But, some dolls escaped, and are still out there, waiting……

Baby Alive was a basic drink-and-wet, with a motorized mouth action, never actually "eating" anything. Even the food was just dry packs of colored gel you mix with water.

The crazy thing is, I now work for a company that builds laser systems that essentially cut out stickers. So I’m still surrounded! (Plus, there’s the fact that I scrapbook, so I get to use ‘em all the time)

As for pets, currently I have a veiled chameleon named Vito. He’s not terribly friendly, like many chameleons, but fun to watch. We used to have 2–the other was Stampy (a la Simpsons) but he died.

And I am currently watching my parents’ bloodhound named Tater. The breed usually lives 7-10 years, but he’s 11. He’s really sweet, but wow, he’s old. Just a speed bump in the carpet.

why isnt the bear looking at the ice creame hes allegedly eating?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr.Green @ 03/26/2005 7:22 PM

That is the only way I’ll eat apples! Seriously, without the salt raw apples are kinda nauseating. Oh, and melanie, that story was friggin’ hilarious.
I had a CCD teacher who gave out puffy Simpson’s stickers as prizes for getting questions correct. I distinctly remember him telling us that if we could resist opening the packs and kept the stickers they would be worth a ton someday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19242&item=5964501024&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW#ebayphotohosting">Apparently, he was wrong.
We have a chicken named Pollito and a cat known as Sneezy. More often, though, the cat is known by another, similar sounding name, also based on a bodily function.

Wow. Hot shit. I got that demented bear sticker when I took my flu vaccine like a man. A man who would soon lose his nuts in a water fountain accident. Yeah, I took that demented birthday bear sticker and put it right on my notebook, right next to my drawings of a scary Asian girl climbing outta a well.

And on the subject of pets, I have two. Fang, my cat, is of undeterminable breed, black and white, and can move at blinding speeds. He can fucking jump of the wall and cath a fucking bee in mid air. And then there’s Kapn’ Klaw. He’s a big ass lobster. I bought him at the store, and he’s fucking HUGE! I couldn’t eat the guy, so now he’s my pet, and he’s about the size of a very small cat. I keep him an aquarium with a headless fred flintstone (Which was decaptitated by the Kapn’) and a few seamonkies (which are his favorite snack). Yeah, I’m like that crazy french dude with the pet lobster…

I have 2 dogs, a mut named Casey and a Chihuahua named Chili Pepper. I have 2 parakets named Mia and Nikita. 2 Rats named Grapes and Elton(Who is a hailess dumbo rat with hair?), and 4 Guinea pigs named Julio, Maria, Murrey, and for the love of god, I can’t remember the last ones name!
