"HELLO, I'M TERRY, AND I'M GOING TO ENJOY MYSELF FIRST..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on English 2 tone and ska revival band THE SPECIALS, performing live, venue & location unknown, c. late '70s/early '80s. 📸: Virginia Turbett.

"Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink, The years go by, as quickly as you wink, Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think,

Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first.

It's good to be wise when you're young, 'cause you can only be young but the once, Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun, So glad and live life longer than you've ever done."

-- "Enjoy Yourself" (1980) by THE SPECIALS (a cover of 1949's "Enjoy Yourself (It's later than You Think)" by Carl Sigman, with lyrics by Herb Magidson)

Merry Christmas 1982 from Citadel Miniatures, who had a reciprocal relationship with Ral Partha in the US, with each distributing some of the other’s products in the early 1980s.  (White Dwarf 36, GW, December 1982)  The “Special Offer!” in the 3rd column mentions Military Modelling magazine, suggesting this ad originally was formatted for publication there and reprinted without correction here -- though the line at the very bottom of the page got it right.

Syndicate Collectibles has released an electronic prop replica of Killer Klowns from Outer Space's popcorn bazooka. It appears to be more screen accurate than Spirit Halloween's version from last year.

Priced at $99.99, the 24" of popcorn power features trigger-activated light and sound effects from the movie and a crank handle that "pops" artificial popcorn. It's rechargeable via USB.
