Ghost of Xmas Toys Past

 i sometimes have a little cascading problem when it comes to certain things.  i sometimes like to collect things. Then i lose interest and have to revisit them again years later.  Then there are some that i could never have gotten.

{Insert Picture of Turbo Man here} - or lazily don't

One such toy that i regretted selling (sold all my Star Wars stuff in 1999 for $400 or so) was my Rancor Monster

{Insert picture of Rancor Monster Here}- 1983 Kenner, if you wanna look it up

Sometimes i want a replica of an iconic toy from my "childhood" that i never had. Unfortunately, the Montgomery Ward catalog doesn't exist anymore.  i think it would be kind of cool to have some of the following toys: 

* Masters of the Universe: He-Man, Skeletor, Castle Grayskull,  then maybe: Man-At-Arms, Teela (non-snake), Orko, Evil-Lyn   

* Gobots: Leader One, Cy-Kill, Scooter

* Transformers: Optimus Prime, Slag, Megatron, Starscream

* Madballs

* My Pet Monster

* Others i can't think of.

Santa, My Xmas List

 Xmas is coming soon.  Sorry if i'm later than i should be, but i don't have Santa's mailing or email address.  i have been mostly not naughty this year.  i haven't committed any felonies (that i know of). 2021 has been a truly awful year. i could use Rudolph's nose to cut through the unrelenting darkness.  

i won't ask for the impossible (like world peace), but it all won't be easy.  Santa, here is my list this year. 

* A jackpot winning Powerball and/or Mega Millions ticket (so i could buy my own wishes, like a house, peace of mind, and all the semi-necessary material trappings)

* A woman to unconditionally love me (in every sense of the word), bonus if the merger could relate in a joint venture with a spinoff in 2022.

* A toy train or something like it (like Hermey painted in Rudolph).  Something to show you care

*  A "retro" toy - something i might have circled in the Montgomery Ward catalog. i'm thinking maybe some Madballs or a My Pet Monster.

* Less suffering/pain/misery.

Thanks Santa, i do sort of believe in you. Santa we need you more than ever.

Merry Xmas, Xmas people.
