MtG was released to the public in 1993.

That must be all kinds of crazy tax stuff.

I remember seeing those booster packs when I would go in to Babbages where they kept all the CCGs; Wyvern, Jihad, Star Wars and Star Trek were others I noticed. They moved the MTG to behind the counter.


Yup MTG is OLD! I do have a picture of my friend and I playing MTG in 1995 on the hood of my parents car.

It's Monday...

HAve I ever showed the youtube video of the heavy metal belly dancer. Probably not considered safe for work.

One last Monday video...

Tawny Kitaen passed away within the past week so I thought it should be fitting to play a little Whitesnake.

I've seen her videos before good stuff!

Also, I forgot to mention, I am not at all surprised that Slicky went against the mainstream, and didn't play MTG, but instead chose to play some random knockoff.

🤣 I'm not a cow, I don't follow the herd, never have, never will.

Well now's a good time to start MtG, cause there's apparently a huge Pokemon craze right now that I just found out about today.

Why yes, I DO live under a rock. Why do you ask?

Slick was probably a Digimon guy

That's a hard NO!

I was X-Games before there was X-Games....

I raced BMX bikes all across PA in the mid 80's and then got into skateboarding and did that for 5 or 6 years. One of my coolest jobs was a clerk at a Schwinn (bicycle) shop, which I did for about 10 years every summer. One thing I still enjoy occasionally is going chip and putt golfing.

I started playing D&D in the late 80's and played through most of the 90's, when Christians touted it as the game of the devil. Gave that up and I started playing Guardians in the mid 90's to the early 2000's, cause it was was much faster paced. The artwork on those cards are still the best of any CCG (Keith Parkinson, Brom, Don Maitz, Mike Ploog, and James Wahorla) and I appreciated how it pokes fun at MtG and iconic comic book characters. Of course up until I found HeroClix in 2015, I played a lot of video games starting with Atari, progressing to Nintendo, then Sega Genesis, and finally PS1 through PS4.

I was never into Power Rangers, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, pogs, Digimon or MtG. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Black Locust and Lizards on the Toast

Yep. Definitely a Digimon guy.

Apparently, you're an out of the closet Digimon fan.

Just to let you know how far off the grid I am, I got my FIRST cell phone 2 years ago!

Ahh, moving from Mennonite to Curmudgeon status.

It was a smooth transition.

I upgraded from the slip-out keyboard phone, like, last August. Now that I finally have a smartphone, I don't know what I was doing with my life.
