fenchurchBefore we headed home from Portland, we were able to swing by Food Fight, a vegan grocery store, to pick up a few bags of Earth Balance Kettle Chips (the Vegan Cheddar ones and the Vegan Sour Cream and Onion ones... so incredibly good! And dairy free!!). I have no idea why Earth Balance has *still* not rolled those out to the western US (I still haven't had a chance to try the new Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares... the mail order places run out as soon as they get a new shipment). Annoying!
Anyway, we'd finished our shopping and were heading to the counter, when I looked up and spotted this bad boy (and I don't mean Mr. T or the kid with the banana).
When I was a kid, I wanted one of these sooooo badly! (But what did I know... this was also around the same time I was desperately wanting a Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow.) The boy next door had several and would, thankfully, let me play with them... they were great, though! Those were actual, launchable missiles in his left hand and IIRC, his fist was launchable too (I believe one of them also had a launchable axe). There's absolutely no way anything like that would ever get sold nowadays... and it may be that we were really lucky on Guam to get a lot of toys from Japan that didn't necessarily make it over to the US. But yeah... at the time, I thought they were the ultimate in cool.
