Something about the King’s placid expression just makes me happy at a base level.

I just sit back and smile in a relaxed way, and feel… happy.

I want to be friends with that King.

Haven’t even finished reading the article yet, let alone any of the comments…but had to say that “…kids couldn’t be bothered looking under the couch cushions for rubber ant asses when there was so much else left on their to-do lists” definitely takes the cake as my favorite X-E line ever. EVER.

There actually were teams of good and bad guys named by Mattel, but you had to buy the larger packs of figures to see it.

Personally, I never considered any of them good or bad. They were strictly neutral.

This discussion of M.U.S.C.L.Es begs the question… Whom did you put on the good/evil teams back in tha day? I didn’t know much about those things until I came to X-E, so I can’t put in any input there…

I got army ants when I hat chicken pox as a little kid. My dad worked at a toy store at the time so he was able to snag pretty much the entire line of ants in both colors. The ants were all over the place…I had epic wars with them.

(By the way I used the asses as a sign of life or death… the ants who died lost their asses)

Oh lord, my brothers were so totally into M.U.S.C.L.E.s my older brother actually wrote and illustrated his own comic books about them…which my older sister, me and my younger brother would pay “money” for. Man we were pretty dorky. What am I talking about were? Most of the time we still are. Lol! I don’t think they ever had the Army Ants though.

Does anyone remember those little rubber domes that you could turn inside out and set down and they would slowly pop back to right side in? The only reason I mention these is because someone in another comment said they used to squeeze the Army Ant’s butts and stick them on their tongue and my siblings and cousins and I used to turn those domes inside out and set them on our tongues. Man it hurt when they popped back, but we still did it over and over again.

I’ve had a few mudslides before and all I have to say about them is YUM!

I love Red Robin and Applebees, they are lovely places. We don’t have Cheddars here nor do we have Whitecastles, but we DO have Carl’s Jr.s which I love. I worked at 2 different ones for a total of 2 and a half years back in high school…good times.

Oh, I live in southern California by the way. As if anyone actually cares. Hahahaha.
