Oh yeah the stand. Bro I remember when that aired. The intro of everyone being deceased man that stuck with me as a kid. Didn't they do another the stand a few years back or something?

They sure did, and it was a good adaptation, but just didn't resonate with me as much as the original.

That would be very big: a canoe with two Psychos moving premiums from one country to another.  

 

Eventually we would end up with a boat dropping the packages on the beach for the moderators to pick them up with a van.

"BS or silver', they'll end up saying to someone we all know.

No, come on, our story in the USA would be more like a road movie, a cross between "Lethal Weapon", "Easy Rider", "The Cannonball Run", and some others that I won't name. 

 

 

Well this Moderator would be glad to help out!

At least use a dingy (for more room) so you can bring some premiums for trade to the USA!

I remember in the 90s how it wasn't uncommon to have those TV movie miniseries that would sometimes come on Sunday nights and would run for a few weeks. If it was a two part movie part one would come on Sunday night followed by part two airing Monday night. Well the Tommyknockers came to mind and I couldn't help but revisit it again after so many years seeing how the last time I remember watching it I wasn't even in double digits yet.

I loved when ABC did these. Especially when they did The Stand, it being my favorite King Series.

Happy Thursday Psychos! @Casiusco, I still love seeing concerts in person but seeing Metallica at the Drive-In was an amazing experience.

addiction?

 

So this is an addiction? 🤨

 

Are the others right that cramming a room with nice collector's editions is not normal?

 

I don't think so.

 

In fact, I think they have a problem, and it's called ‘Lack of sensitivity to art’. 

 

We are simply the last romantic guys on earth.

 

No more.

It cannot be a coincidence.

 

This reminds me of "Lost". 

 

Probably one of the best series ever, and one of the few that really changed something in the industry.

 

Are we all Psychos going to be Lost characters?

Will this community be the island?

 

Or maybe the day we organise a face-to-face meeting we will be isolated and our own reboot will begin?

 

What is clear is that it is not a coincidence. There must be a reason.

 

Destiny has something in store for you.

 

 

I don't believe in coincidences, so it means we must be Premium Brothers!

good afternoon my dudes. went from 57 with a cool breeze hoodie weather to air fried chicken legs turn over at the halfway mark for a crisp exterior on both sides. pretty much high 80s all week. I'm not complaining though it's been a rough winter of salted roads and gloomy overcast.

I know the feeling. It went from nice mid 60s to mid 80s plus humidity this week.

Man that’s crazy, what are the odds?  When were you at Barren County?  I graduated from Warren Central in 1992 (Jeez I’m old).  My primary interaction with Barren County High was playing their tennis team twice a year   

I lived in Barren County from 1990-2000. Now that is crazy odds, we both lived there during the same time and now have a Premium addiction!

I hope everyone has an awesome Monday and Week!

That sounds cool, I love car shows.  We are actually going up to Mammoth Cave, the world’s largest cave system.  It’s near my hometown which, since you mention car shows, is the home of the Corvette.  I have been to a lot of great car shows.  Of course, the big event every year is the Corvette Homecoming, when people drive their Corvettes in from all over the country.

 

But Bowling Green KY also used to be a big center for drag racing as well, and there are lots of non-Corvette car shows.  There used to be a big event every year for Grand Nationals but I’m not sure if they’re still doing that.

 

Got any cars that you’re especially proud of?  I only drive a Hyundai, sadly, because I’m a middle aged dad who needs a good warranty and good gas mileage.  I recently sold the last fun car I had, a 2000 VW GTI VR6.  Fun to drive, but it needs so much care that it’s like having an extra child.

I miss Bowling Green and Horse Cave! Went to school at Barren County High. I had 2 cars that I was proud of. I had 1970 Chevelle SS 454 Big Block and 1964 1/2 Mustang. Alas, once I moved around in the Military I couldn't keep them and had to sell them.

Wow, that literally hurt to read that.  I sure hope you can find replacements, but there's nothing like the one's you held in your Cheeto's stained hands as a kid, right?

A not quite similar story for me, but with a happy ending . . . I'm also an avid Stamp collector (no, I'm not old 😆), my dad got me started when I was 5.  My first real album was a Scott Liberty in two volumes.  My sister used to go in to it and get mint stamps to send her postcards, etc.  Bummed me out.  So, when I was about 13 and had a pretty awesome/valuable collection, I went in the basement and hid it in the drop ceiling.  I climbed up on a chair, and lifted a panel, then pushed both volumes to one side to hide it from my sister.  

 

Well, football season started, then school started, then I met a girl, and before you knew it I forgot where I put it.  Then, one day, my dad comes home and says we're moving (it was a rental so it happened quickly).  I tried to find it, but couldn't, I swear I looked everywhere, and no dice . . . and then we moved.  I was pissed off.

 

Years later, like when I'm 35, my mom and I were driving by our old house (we'd moved to Florida) and I said, let's stop in, I want to see if they found my stamp collection.  The people were really cool about it, I told them the story, they laughed.  I went in to the basement, and the friggin first panel I lifted up, in the back corner by a non-structural wall, I saw the edge of the blue spine of the album.  When I pushed to the side when I was 13, it had slid down a bit on the other side of the non-structural wall, so I couldn't see it when I was much shorter.  

 

I couldn't believe it.  Just crazy, 20 years later to have that back.  

 

So, long story to say, I'm sorry you won't get your comics back @MikeH5856 my man.  Although replacing them will be fun too, you get to relive buying them again.  

There is nothing wrong with Stamp Collecting! I'm so glad you got it back. I collect a little of everything, so you have to enjoy what you love. I am so glad to your collection back!

Bummer! How did you make out with your other albums? 

 

@nathan_s82 I was delinquent and didn't ask you how you did with RSD either! Sorry, man... I'm juggling too many plates right now. 

I was able to get Malkfunkshun, Screaming Trees and Team Sleep which on the top of my list. I got there a little later than I wanted and was still number 42 in line.

Uh . . . It think you're the good dude @nathan_s82!  

It was fun texting across country hunting for records on record store day.  Such a great vibe everywhere.  I stood by a guy who came to visit from Michigan, ended up chatting for an hour about music.    @nathan_s82 what is your experience when trying to talk about premium movie editions with the vinyl crowd.  Year after year on RSD I try to find someone, and they are oblivious, and have never heard of FAC, HDZ, even steelbooks.   I try to educate, but no one seems interested.

I was talking to some people in the line, and ironically they were all there for Taylor Swift. I've tried discussing premiums, and it goes on deaf ears, lol. Especially when I talk about Mediabooks, UHD, HDZeta and Manta. But it was fun to talk to the newer generation of Vinyl Collectors to see what hey are into. Ironically, I learned about some Metal Music I need to listen to.

NOPE! LOL Not successful at all... I was only able to get to the store about 30 minutes before they handed out their stock lists to mark what we wanted, so I was at the tail end of the line, which wrapped around the block. There must have been a few hundred people ahead of me. 

 

The Garbage album was the only thing I wanted, but it sounded like they only got a couple of them... Oh well. Hopefully it'll get an iTunes release soon. There's no way I'll be able to miss that one! 🤣

 

Congrats on the comics haul, man! Funny story (not really) -- my parents were hoarders and I had a long box of comics still in their basement that I'd been searching for after dad passed away back in September (mom predeceased him about 9 years ago). But it was so freaking cluttered, I was never able to locate it. We had the estate sale last week and guess what the sellers found?! I didn't even know about it until I saw photos online of all that they were selling and I was so freaking bummed/ticked off to see all my childhood classics up for grabs. All the issues sold, which I guess is good news (more for the estate sellers pockets than mine, of course... 😡), but man, seeing all the pictures of The Punisher comics I had worked so hard on putting together entire runs of as a teenager freaking hurt. So now I'm on the search to find a complete run of The Punisher Final Days event because I really want to revisit that now. 🤣

I'm sorry to hear that. As a comic collector myself, that hurts my heart seeing they get sold that way. That 80s/90s Punisher run was so good too.

Happy Monday All!

After long lines and standing in the Rain on Saturday, Record Store Day 2024 was a success this year. Thank you @BreakBeatDJ for trying to help me as well, you are such a good dude! Were you successful as well @MikeH5856? After RSD, hit up a local comic convention, and found some old 90s books, I need to fill holes in my collection.

Sunday was all about Volunteer work, making breakfast for over 600 people at our local church. I hope all of you have an amazing week!
