Are you shore you don’t want to take one last trip to the beach? Take along a “portable” Vectrex video game system from 1982!
JediShua and shazbazzar load up on cereal news from the Roving Spoonster, Shane in GR before playing Robocop at the arcade on a “brand new” Vectrex vector graphic video game…sort of.
Even though summer vacation is winding down, summer is still in full effect as shazbazzar and JediShua enjoy their last full week before school starts back again at the beach, at the arcade, and in a puppetry museum in South Metropolis.
In the NEWS
Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation lands on Supergirl with Sam Witwer. Biff joins the cast of Legends of Tomorrow. Anakin ends his stint on Timeless. An Indiana cornfield emerges from Stranger Things’ Upside-Down. Transformers: The Movie returns to theaters next month. Billy Vann from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein is honored in a museum.

We Love Our Cereal…
…and EarBuds do, too. The Cereal Commercial Contest continues with a few submissions, but you still have time to send us your 30-60 second spot. Imagine a cereal and waffle dessert while playing a Monster Cereals’ card game in your brand new cereal sneakers with a bowl of quinoa before realizing that Coco Pops drops 40% of their sugar content.
