Totally 80s Tuesday

Have not had a chat response since the 9th

Football started, brah! Everybody going through hours of pre-season tape.

Sorry, In Wales at the minute.

How are you all?

I’m back at work tomorrow (only for 3 days) before heading back out on holiday. Living the dream.

I am listening to hours and hours of fantasy football podcasts in preparation for the 5 leagues I'm in this year

Christ. That’s a lot of football.

Someone stole my charger at work. I'm on an old ass phone, so it's been difficult to navigate.

Totally not quite the 80's just yet Tuesday

Am I the only one kind of annoyed with Horror merch being popular now and in stores like Target and Walmart and shiz? I mean later on we've had shit like Hot Topic or Spencers and what not carrying shit and that was like whatevs, but growing up I remember it was like scouring the earth to find cool horror shit.

I'm more annoyed when I see a shirt with a slasher on it and the quote says something completely out of character...

Like a Jason shirt with “Welcome to my nightmare” type thing? Or unrelated nonsense?

Unrelated nonsense. I can't tell you how many facebook ads I've seen with a Jason or Chucky artwork, and then a little tagline with some stupid schoolyard threat. I can't think of any exact quotes, but they're something along the lines of "If you don't respect me, you don't know what I'm capable of".

A bunch of stupid shit like that. Really dumb. I hope zero people bought any of those shirts.

That isn’t even comical irony, that’s just fucking dumb. I agree. No sales for you.

I have a Jason: No Lives Matter shirt, you dicks.

That one is fine.

Works for me.

i think it's pretty cool. horror isn't something that we should hold to ourselves and look down on people, cause it's a little bit more mainstream than it was in our days. this isn't punk rock.

Nah, it's not like that. It's more like fuck you for having it so easy. But I guess that's with a number of things as time goes on. Weed shops run like candy shops, it's like I know motherfuckers who almost died slinging this shit, now it's like dying over a Snickers.

I'm like this with toys. As a kid I'd love to have played with a legit Jason figure, killing other toys, instead of crafting one out of a G.I. Joe (complete with melting his face on an electric stove).
