I bet you'd like to give it to her.

Well, it is Scarlett. I think she and Baroness were my OG developmental locks.

I was aware I was into women since first grade, but even by 6th grade I just didn't know what I was supposed to do about that.

And there was a girl that had a crush on me and as girls do she went around with a group of people to try and ask me out. Out. Obviously if I can barely handle one girl trying to talk to me having her and like five henchmen come up is just not going to work in her favor.

She actually choke slammed my friend Brian against a brick wall outside of the school demanding to know why I wouldn't talk to her. One of my teachers even walked by and laughed. Different times.

Anyway, all this to set up that she and her posse chased me on bicycles to the local convenience store where I was trying to duck them. Faced with no recourse, all I could do was grab... It wasn't even sports illustrated it was the less successful sports magazine that also had a swimsuit issue.

And this girl with all her heart was seriously pleading, why won't I go out with her? What's wrong with her?

And in these formative years, these crucial developmental years, I threw that swimsuit magazine at her and said "because you don't look like this!" as I fled.

I often think about what her therapy bills must look like.

No shame. My mom was a red head so... Baroness was it for me. And dark haired women in glasses with an accent still rev my engine for sure.

Big time same here. I always had a crush on at least one in every grade. And I totally fantasized about girls as long as I can remember, but obviously it only went as far as my knowledge. In first grade I was like "aw man, I would kill to kiss her on the lips!"

I have a slightly similar experience but it was because I wasn't into her and didn't know how to deal with that and felt bad so just made it way worse than a simple rejection would have been. We're inexperienced, ah well. It's amazing how many things I still kick myself about from grade school. Man, why didn't six year old me know how I handle shit like a 48 year old?! Fucking eejit.

Also this occurred to me:

haha is there an inside joke I missed?

Heheheh oh yes.
I had the temerity to point out the new parts on Ghost-Viper (there are lots!!) on Facebook, and some collector bro absolutely declared war on me. It was . . . kinda funny, but he really lost his shit and threw around some crazy accusations and also said he was Very Big In Collecting and like in some documentary.
It was a weird day.
 
Finally got my Blowtorch, and two things struck me about the image on the back of the package.
1) The Bridgelayer! Could this be a sign that we’re getting this vehicle from Hasbro?
2) With Cobra troops on the other side of the ravine, why is Blowtorch firing in the opposite direction? Talk about “friendly FIRE”.
 
When I first noticed it, someone (I'm sorry to who it was, I can't remember) pointed out they put stuff like that on there and doesn't necessarily mean it's coming. but I'm also wondering, without taking the time to examine them, how close the bodies for the Bridgelayer and Wolverine are, meaning could they make one and easily reuse it for the other?
 
Ooooh, I never even knew the bridge layer was a thing until the late 2010s, I was quite irked that it was never released here because I love that they had something just purely practical for support purposes. I eventually got a fixer-upper off eBay, restored it and paired it with a modern era version of the driver guy. Would love to see it get the Classified treatment, even if I did just spend the afternoon tidying up the storage room wondering where the hell I can put anything more.

In other news, I picked up a retro Jaye in a bargain bin but after much umming & ahhing, decided to stick with the OG Classified body (prefer the darker jumpsuit) and give it the head (not crazy about the lipstick but the eyes are better), weapons, camera and backpack. I think this works for me, I'm good now. She'll go nice with Flint when he finally arrives.
