That sounds like such a wholesome memory. I'm almost tempted to out my collection of simpsons stuff. I've got a weird collection.

That's a great story @Armin Tamzarian. My dad was a workaholic who spent his weekdays working will 11am in the office and his weekends working till 7pm in the office. Probably because he wasn't much of a family man and found comfort in his office. Despite this he doted on me (the youngest of 3) the most, he expressed his love for us through short 1-on-1 shopping trips to the mall. But my favorite memory with him was dragging him to watch the shitty Street Fighter movie with my brother. I thought he would like it since it was an action flick and he loved action stars like Jean Claude Van Dam, Steven Segull, Arnold and Stallone. He probably thaught the movie was alright but was pissed when I stepped in dog shit after the movie and tried to get into his brand new company Mercedes. Made me put the shoes in bag and ride bare foot home.

Back to the Simpsons movie - watched it in the cinema with my brother, caught a morning show before our uni lectures. It was alright, didn't have the same wit of the original series with too much slap stick, but a decent family outing.

Layzie, I would be both your enthusiastic audience and overeager customer if you ever decided to unleash the trove, hahaha.

Rocklobster that rules! Hahaha, the bagged shoes. Sometimes the weirdest memories with our old mans turn into precious moments in hindsight - I love throwback cinema visit stories with family too. Going to the movie theater for the first time in the 90s with my pops changed my life - the awe of the bright proscenium screen in a pitch-black room... and naturally, the first scene was the Millennium Falcon loudly gliding into view ;D I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but god dam what a powerful first cinema experience for a kid.

But yeah, I can't say I'd ever re-watch the Simpsons Movie for the same reason - it lacks that classic slapstick! I never thought of attaching the phrase 'slapstick' to the original Simpsons seasons, but that's perfect!

Since y'all asked so nice, I'll start with these unopened boxes of cereal I got 18 years ago.

They have never been opened. Not even to see what it looked like inside. It could be full of dead caterpillars for all I know. They've been to Yokosuka, San Diego, Honolulu, Bremerton, and now Athens.

I'm not usually an unboxing video fan but I promise that you would win the hearts and minds (swoon) with one featuring these, Layzieyez.

Edit: really nice collection, the art work on the boxes looks so expressive! As an adult all my breakfast cereal consists of oatmeal squares with boring ass graphics.

That's dope, you should post more from your collection! It's been too long since I checked this thread I'm glad to be back
There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

Delightfully devilish @Monkey_Mcpott !

I have the entire Steamed Hams script memorized, my wife has got it 1/4 down. I recite it every time we go out for burgers or I'm doing isometric exercises.

This thread got me to check out some episodes from the latest seasons, just to see what I had been missing out on in the past few years and one of the first ones I put on was the one where Marge gets into crystals. The moment she entered the shop and was greeted with 'shalom', I lost my shit.

Yeah, the newest ones aren't as good as the first 15 years, but every now and then they hit a Homer.

Seent it.

 You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

Yup, it's always weird to see Bart in a blue t-shirt instead of orange, which I think they maintained for merchandising.

BINGO, Layzie that is too cool 8) Thanks for showing us the relics!

Friedbread, that book looks like it owns! I've never read it, but I am currently feeling very bereft of the wisdom it would've provided me ;D

Today's scene goes to the downfall of Unky Homer, as broadcast by one of my favorite underdog characters, Arnie Pie (In The Sky)

Who else almost has every episode in some shape or form? I started with taping episodes on VHS to collecting the DVD seasons, but thanks to the internet, I have an almost complete collection up to the most current season.

My favorite episode I watched today was the Johnny Cash episode and my wife realized she never watched the Skinner/Armin episode as we were watching it.

I'm one of those weirdos that refuses to watch anything past the like 9th and 10th season. Once I get there I just start back up with season 1. Those seasons in particular were the ones I grew up watching as a kid and it just gives me such crazy nostalgia and joy. I even got my kids into them. I had them all on dvd when they Target would sell the box sets. Im pretty sure I still have them somewhere in storage.
