Just realized what a trend it was, back in the 80s and 90s, to have alien heroes escape their war-torn home worlds and take refuge on Earth, inadvertently bringing their conflict down on Humanity.

Bonus points if/when the aliens actively voice the opinion that Humans are ingrates for complaining about property damage and loss of safety (coughs*lives!*coughs) when they “protect” us from the very threat they brought to our proverbial doorstep.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE these series, but it is wicked thoughtless and insensitive when the aliens do that. Kinda irritating to be perfectly honest, and extra bonus points if the token human ally points this out even if just once in the entire show’s run.

Anybody know a place where I can watch old 90s cartoons?

The World is 4ull of Stuff

It's time for another long-winded, attention-seeking post to remind myself social media exists, and keeping in the spirit of last month's venture into Saturday morning nostalgia, decided to look back on another turning point in Australian pop culture history from exactly 30 years ago. Yeesh, this had better not become habit forming.

While locals across the land counted down the remaining few days before they flocked to witness an adventure 65 million years in the making, another world of adventure opened its doors for the first time on 19th August 1993. A world gargantuan in scope bounding with flashy colours and near-limitless opportunities for youthful imagination. A world guaranteed to leave boys and girls' heads spinning with ranges and prices on a scale almost inconceivable. A world... 4 kids!

This multimillion dollar project had been a long time coming for the Coles Myer group. And who could blame them? Their combined retail output at the time controlled a staggering 40 percent of all local toy sales, and with the nation slowly finding its feet after a crippling recession, saw an opportunity to cash in.

Such aspirations resulted in Coles Myer hitting hard and fast with intense production and marketing campaigns. Stores soon flowed with stock under long leases. Commercials and letterbox advertisements bombarded homes. They shamelessly boasted that unlike other stores, World 4 Kids was number one in a field of one. Oh sure people could visit other smaller chains like Casey's, Toyworld or Uncle Pete's, but this? This was an event. *The* toy store with *the* unbeatable prices and everything a kid could ever want under a single roof. Well, except for the ever elusive Thunderbirds Tracy Island playset and Grape Escape board game.

From that very day the first World 4 Kids opened its doors on the fourth level of Sydney's Chatswood Chase, a plethora of cherished memories would be forged. Be it running around with tiny trolleys or donating old toys for their in-store recycling program (both of which have since become the norm for a number of large retailers), many kids shouted with glee at the prospect of walking home with their first Nerf. First Barbie. First Biker Mice. First Cabbage Patch Kid. First Action Man. First Littlest Pet Shop. First video game.

But while ol' Globey greeted every shopper with a big green smile, the bean-counters gradually saw nothing but red. As the years rolled on, Coles Myer were hit by loss after loss, struggling to keep the franchise open. Perhaps they tried too hard? Or underestimated a frugal buying economy who preferred saving their spending until Christmas?

Or it was simply a case of envious corporate greed catching up after hoping to nip their former business partners and distinguished competition in the bud before they set up shop? Whatever the reason, World 4 Kids swiftly led to a near-decade long battle for the ages between two parties, with many independent stores caught in the crossfire.

But that's a tale saved for another day. In the meantime however, how strange it feels to (quite literally) revisit a few of said memories. Indeed Chatswood Chase was the first store to open, but Coles Myer had initially planned to kick things off in Penrith of all places. Situated on the corner of High and Station Street, this outlet was poised, primed, ready to be their flagship store... until a last second decision by upper management wanted it somewhere closer to Sydney's CBD.

Having made the pilgrimge across the M4 on what turned out a rather mild weathered early Saturday morning, it's quite astounding the building remains intact to this day. Being separate from a shopping centre undoubtedly had its advantages. For exactly two years World 4 Kids called this little corner of the Riff home before moving to Riley Street opposite the back of Penrith Plaza. That particular site was lucky enough to be one of the final shops standing until 2002 when it eventually became a Supre outlet (with some of the original décor left intact) until Westfield demolished the whole block several years later to expand said Plaza. In its place is an outdoor fooderie.

As for this old site, it too has shared quite a coloured history. The instant World 4 Kids left the premises, Spotlight took over and expanded to both ground and lower levels complete with upper enclosed car park. They persevered for many years until a new shopping centre opened on Mulgoa Road saw them move by the late-2000's. Nobody wanted to lease the massive floor space, so they cut the lower level off and made it a separate business. Trade Secret eventually chose the top floor, and the bottom remained vacant until Paul's Warehouse stepped in by late 2013. Losing the overhead carpark by early 2017 came as a blow, and even Paul's expanding to include rejected goods from the US didn't help. Neither store made it to the decade's end.

World 4 Kids may be long gone, its history stripped and buildings either renovated or destroyed, but for many Aussie kids and teens growing up in the 90's, was nothing short of paradise. It brought countless smiles and paved the way for some modern shopping experiences. It created memories to be proud of, even if none of us were aware of the tumultuous cavalcade of chaos behind the scenes.

6/24/23.

The Hazmats (London, England) "Skewed View" 7" cover really looks like it came from the 1980s. And really, the song "Skewed View" sounds like it could have been written and performed by Glenn Mercer in either The Feelies or Wake Ooloo.

The Bandcamp page states that The Hazmats (containing members from Powerplant, Big Cheese and Chain of Flowers) sound like a Sarah Records band. For "Skewed View",

"Think a mix of the Field Mice, Sea Urchins and the Mighty Lemon Drops. On the flip is Wondered which is a more uptempo and forceful song that will have you hooked from the first guitar riff. It has the same edge, production and hooks of early The Wedding Present and This Poison!

Static Shock Records is releasing this in July 2023. They released a previous 7" in 2022.

One Mr Franklin J Kittycat, protector of homes and hunter of mice, best friend and brave and true companion, passed on in my arms this morning surrounded by love and care. He had a fierce and mighty battle with a growth in his abdomen and in the end I let him go before he could be in any real pain.

He was with me for the lions share of my life, and every apartment and home I lived in in Chicago. He listened to me and loved me and I loved him so very very much. My best perfect little princess baby man. My heart hurts so much.

Please no Rainbow Bridge stuff, but otherwise knowing he was loved by others will help. I cannot thank all of you enough who helped me keep him at home for the last month of his life, we got to have lots and lots of last moments together.

More Mice!

Whatever the result is, I will attempt to recreate it as a drawing!

ToA daemon AU where humans have daemons but gods dont. Gods aren’t people and don’t have souls. They still have animals which are associated with them, but they’re just symbols. 

Apollo, as Lester, gets a daemon for the first time. He didn’t have a daemon for his previous human punishments since he was a god in mortal form - now he is a full mortal. 

At first he thinks the unbearable pain in his chest is just the broken ribs from his free-fall from Olympus. After the fight with the muggers and his introduction to Meg, he finds he can’t walk ten steps from the dumpster he landed in without collapsing. 

Meg rolls her eyes at his utter bafflement as he squawks about being on the brink of death. She and her small hare daemon cast their gazes about the alley, then in the dumpster. She reaches in and pokes something, and Apollo gags in pain. Meg seems satisfied, and announces that he can’t leave because his daemon is stuck in the dumpster. Apollo snaps that he doesn’t have a daemon, he is a god! Gods are self-sustaining, they do not rely on puny- ack! Meg had poked the thing again.

Frustrated, Apollo pulls himself up to investigate and explain to this silly mortal why whatever-it-is in the dumpster cannot be his daemon. Then he sees it. 

It’s a tiny white mouse. Suddenly he notices the pain in his chest is not just broken bones, but a distinct emptiness. Something is missing. As soon as he locked eyes with the mouse, he knew that it was supposed to be filling that hole. 

Apollo had been associated with mice for some millennia. He had been called Apollo Sminthius since before the siege of Troy; Lord of Mice. They were useful for spreading plagues, and rather cute, but not something he’d ever thought of as similar to him. He was no mouse! He was a mighty lion, a sweeping falcon! He was a god, the very top of the food chain! He was no ones prey! 

But there it was. A tiny, insignificant creature that looked as if it belonged in the dumpster. Not unlike Lester Papadopoulos. Perhaps Apollo was a great dragon or a fearsome wolf, but he supposed, with crushing disappointment, that Lester was about as close to a mouse as any living being could get. 

[grison-in-space]

well, it's happened. at the ripe old age of four, Benton discovered he had a prey drive. he now believes that he is a mighty hunter and, faced with the loss of his quarry (another... possum? rabbit?) he has gone to stare out the missing plank in the back gate and shriek. prior to that he was circling the perimeter of the fence with glassy-eyed hope.

this is a new and horrible development, but at least pacing alarmedly around the perimeter prevents him from playing his other obsessive compulsive games like "Rattle A Pebble Against Your Teeth While Drooling Heavily" and "Dig Straight Down Into a Frisbee On The Ground" and his old great love, "Object Permanence: The Game." you know what, I'll take it. the newly awakened prey drive has also apparently overwritten Benton's terror of going outside on a summer's night (thanks, fireworks neighbors) so that he's actively resisting coming inside because he wants to hunt rabbits through the fence.

the one thing I also have to stress to you all is that Benton's actual hunting ability is very, very bad. All this got started when he identified that an adolescent opossum had moved in under our deck stairs, fixating on it for days, and eventually dug into its hidehole and evicted it. He had his teeth on that possum multiple times including an attempt at a death shake and as far as we can tell it played dead and we got him inside before it could wake up. He is awful at identifying mice and he gets so wound up that he starts traveling exclusively at a fast collected trot, like a dressage horse in heel. When he gets frustrated he screams like a toddler that fell down while trying to steal an entire pie. It is hilarious.

It's not that I intend to let him practice on the local wildlife, but I confess that his vigilance is not exactly keeping me up at night with concern over the possibility that he might succeed.
