Please Save Me EKM

by

Evil King Macrocranios has a hobby that would seem strange to some, but to the future society of our Robot Overlords he’s providing a tremendous service. You see, Evil King Macrocranios has a blog called Please Save Me Robots where he chronicles the history of toy robot sale ads in a highly entertaining manner.

This week EKM has mixed things up a bit and is posting ads from different types of toys. He’s got some ads for He-Man, Secret Wars, and G.I. Joe on this most special of weeks. I’d definitely recommend checking the site out if you want to know how much a Skystriker used to cost back in the day, if not to put yourself into a dark depression since you can’t go into a store and buy a vintage He-Man for two bucks. Plus, EKM is damn funny.

    Thanks Paul, honestly and truly. I don’t get much comment activity on my blog so sometimes I feel like my writing goes largely unnoticed. I’m not doing it for the hits or anything but it is nice to connect with like minded types. So to get some recognition from you is a big deal to me personally, especially since I really dig you humor.

    I should be able to do the GI Joe post later tonight and tomorrow night I cap it all of off with a couple of old Star Wars ads. Talk about deep depression! I almost purposely avoid collecting vintage Star Wars ads because I can’t afford the alcoholism and meth addiction that they’d drive me to.

    Hey no problem man. It’s funny how you can get any number of hits, but they don’t mean as much as a single comment.

    Hopefully some of my loyal readership will start to follow you like I do. Keep up the good work!

    No one ever comments on my blogs. Nobody likes me!
    I must check out EKM’s blog.

    Sam, here’s a recipe for more hits and comments: More pictures and better paragraph breaks.

    Getting your own domain name wouldn’t hurt either.

    Yeah, I know. I just figured out how to do paragraph breaks on blogger though, so that should help some. And I now have tie to actually take pics, what with the thesis being done.
    As for the domain name, I’ll probably be doing that in the near future.
    EKM: Cool blog!

    There we go, I just did a post with more pics and better paragraph breaks.
    And I still like EKM’s blog. Go-Bots were so dumb, but those ads make me want to buy them all over again.
