Let's hear it for derailing the comments! Yo Joe! :) Lowdogg, glad you enjoyed the site. A visit to yojoe.com always brings back good memories for me. I know I've got a big box of file cards somewhere in my parents' attic. Probably right next to the big box of figures... Woo hoo! Let’s hear it for derailing the comments! Yo Joe! :)

Lowdogg, glad you enjoyed the site. A visit to yojoe.com always brings back good memories for me. I know I’ve got a big box of file cards somewhere in my parents’ attic. Probably right next to the big box of figures…

I used to keep all of these. It would give the real name of a figure (if known) and other background about them. Heli- That website is awesome!

Heli,

What does it mean to “write the file card” for a GI Joe figure?

I just went online to look for a book on ghosts I'd read about the other day that just came out, and I could remember neither the title nor the author. I gave up, and then I wandered over to ericdsnider.com for my daily dose of humor, and lo and behold there's this brand new blog on "Heart-Shaped Box," which was one of the books mentioned in the article as having been written by the same author as the ghost book. So, anyways, I was able to find "20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill thanks solely to this blog. Thanks! Here’s a weird coincidence.

Being a huge (I'm fat)Stephen King fan, I was going to read it even if people said it sucked. I'm glad it's getting good reviews. The only thing better than a good scarey movie is a good scarey book.
