Day 246 - Geeking Out on Properties - 9/4/2015
Missed a few days.
Here goes some catch-ups.
Today's (Friday's) Thing-a-Day Thing is a list of 10 things I am obsessed with and would buy everything related to it if I had the money and space to display/store it.
(all pictures from google image searches)
1. Bozo the Clown!
I used to watch Bozo the Clown on WGN every day before school. My Bozo was Joey D'Auria.
The reason I became obsessed with Bozo was because I liked the show and Bart Simpson idolized Krusty the Clown.
I love the Simpsons so I wanted to be like Bart and "idolize" Bozo the Clown!
2. The Simpsons.
I mean, who isn't still obsessed with the Simpsons?
3. Bill and Ted!
Loved the cartoon, got this shirt, watched and loved the movies, cereal, comics, and horrible live action TV series!
Look forward to the sequel!
4. Ghostbusters!
Loved the cartoon. Loved the toys. Miss Ecto Cooler like crazy! Watched the movies 10 million times. Have enjoyed the games and any other merch I've consumed recently.
Love the idea of the new movie!
Hopefully there will be lots and LOTS of new merch!
I loved Filmation's Ghostbusters, too!
5. He-Man!
One of my first obsessions! I loved this cartoon with all of my heart. I saw the Secret of the Sword in theaters and loved it. I saw the live action movie and loved it (even though it's kind of terrible and not much like the cartoon). I had many of the toys, but I never got the Slime Pit or the Fright Zone. :(
I have enjoyed the newest cartoon and the handful of the new comics that I've read.
I hope another live action movie gets made, this time with Orko!
6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
As with the Simpsons, I think pretty much everybody around my age was in love with, and still is in love with, all thing Turtles!
I didn't hate the new movie, but I miss everything they changed/left out.
7. Roger Rabbit!
I've covered my love for Roger before.
8. My Pet Monster!
Again, see other posts!
9. All of the old Nick Toons!
I miss them all!
This extends to all of the old Nick programming, too.
10. Calvin and Hobbes!
If you've followed the Ponder Couch at all, you've likely read about my great love of all thing Calvin and Hobbes.
That's it!
There are many other things I'm obsessed with (Peanuts comics, all kinds of bands, Tiki culture, Homestar Runner...), but I said I was going to list 10, and these are the first 10 I thought of!

Day 170 - Mikey Likes! - 6/19/2015
Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is about one of my favorite guys of all time!
Pizza, cats, skateboarding and nunchaku!
I'm super good at the first two, and would love to be good at the other two, but am not.
Yay Pizza and Cats and Ninja Turtles!

Clutter: Stickers All Over the Dressers!
I don't remember exactly when it started but at some point in my childhood I developed a love of sticker-covered things. It might've been a friend's older-sibling's bedroom door, it might've been one of my cousin's skateboards, it might've been some person on TV's dresser. I don't remember what inspired me, but I decided to cover my dresser with stickers.
Many, many Roger Rabbit stickers from the trading card series. I was and still am in love with all things Roger Rabbit. So I put a lot of Roger Rabbit stickers on it.
On one side of the dresser you see lots of Super Mario Bros. and Punch Out stickers. I wish I had more of these for other sticker-cluttering projects.
Here we see some TMNT stickers from their trading card packs. I see a the Rocketeer sticker, too. I don't know where I got that one.
Here we see more Super Mario stickers, some "great job!" style stickers from school, some Dole fruit stickers (I think they were from oranges, but it might have been bananas), and my name from a label maker! Like every other kid, I loved seeing my name on stuff. I had scratched my name on the front of my dresser for some reason. I don't know, dumb kid reasons. And not only had I scratched it, I'd scratched each letter backwards. Not just "HTES", but each letter was backwards as well (the E and S facing the other way). Kids are weird. It's still covered with stickers, though, so you can't see my pre-Auto Correct text mistake.
I wonder what kind of stickers those white paper remnants were.
This other side is kind of hard to see. I couldn't get enough light on it to get a good picture, and it's full of fabric (from my mom's sewing collection) so I was too lazy to try to move it to get a better picture.
I can see a Prairie Public Radio bumper sticker (ND), some Colgate and pro-teeth brushing stickers, a bunch of "Buckle Up" and "Don't Drink and Drive" stickers, and a "Say No to Drugs" sticker. My parents gave me the NPR one, but I think the rest were from something at school.
My dresser was sticker-covered because I was copying someone I looked up to. My brother Kyle covered his dresser with stickers as well. He might've looked up to me, too, but it is equally as likely that I told him to do it, too so there was another place to sticker clutter.
Most of his stickers were taken off, but I still see some of the same Super Mario Stickers, a Ron Jon Surf Shop sticker (I'm jealous), a Link sticker, a Punch Out sticker, a dinosaur sticker, a Christmas tree sticker, and puffy butterfly sticker with googly eyes!
There's a Mr. Man or Smurfs or something like that sticker. I think it's a guy holding a flower. I'm not sure what it is.
I think that's another Punch Out sticker and some TMNT sticker remnants.
And that's it! I'll do more Clutter Culture posts as I find more things from my past that are cluttered or if I do any more cluttering.
Do you have anything that you've sticker-cluttered? I'd love to hear about it! Leave a comment or send me a link.

Here is the front of my once-upon-a-time completely sticker-covered dresser. When I got older and was in my "putting away childish things" phase (before my "let's get those childish things back out" phase that I am currently in... in which I currently am... my phase which currently I am in an will continue... inhabiting.) I decided to take the stickers off. It didn't go so well, so many of them are still on there! Let's see go through them, shall we?
Many, many Roger Rabbit stickers from the trading card series. I was and still am in love with all things Roger Rabbit. So I put a lot of Roger Rabbit stickers on it.
On the right side you can see lots of little music note stickers. I got these from piano lessons. Collections that add up quickly are addictive.

A Pizza Hut TMNT Michelangelo Pizza Review!
A few weeks ago Bryan Trusty told me that Pizza Hut was going to have 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles promotional pizzas with turtle-specific toppings. I haven't been a fan of Pizza Hut for many years, but Bryan asked me to do a review. So I tried. Princess Melawesome and I went out that weekend to order the Michelangelo (my favorite TMNT). But the Pizza Hut we went to didn't seem to know what we were talking about. So we just got a pepperoni stuffed crust.
I didn't see any TMNT decorations or ads or anything in the building. The website had them listed, but only the turtle names and the pictures of the pizzas. No pictures of the turtles. I do know they had a commercial:
Then in Target I saw this:
So we searched around for another Pizza Hut to try. They weren't quite sure whether or not the pizzas were official available yet. But they made us the Michelangelo anyway:
As described on the Pizza Hut site:
It was really good! I was a bit surprised because I don't usually care for pineapple on pizza, but I'd order it again! I also recommend that you check it out, especially if you're a TMNT fan.
Our waitress said that the pizzas would be available and promoted more when the movie comes out. I hope it is and that there are things like Ninja Turtle carry out boxes and the like. I would love to get another Mikey pizza, or maybe one of each, in a special box.
I don't know what to make of the new movie. I plan to go see it, even if it gets terrible reviews. I'll reserve judgement until I've actually seen it. Even if it's terrible (worse than "The Next Mutation" or the "Coming Out of Their Shells Tour", even) I'm glad it's coming out because of promotional goodies like this.

(there should be a video above, as long as it's on youtube)
But that was it. Nothing in Pizza Hut, not much of anything on their website.
We waited a week.

Michelangelo's Favorite Pizza
Known as the jokester, this one gets a little crazy with seasoned pepperoni, smoked ham, sweet pineapple and spicy jalapenos.

Strange Kids Club Published My Review!
Remember last post when I said that Strange Kids Club was one of my top geek sites? Well, now they are even more so!
Go to this link (click anywhere on these words) to read my review of the Junior Novelization of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: the Secret of the Ooze"!
Sure, there are some grammatical mistakes here... there... and a few over there in the article, but I don't think that's any worse than the usual Ponder Couch posts! And Strange Kids Club posted it! Hip, hip, Huzzah!
