ET Thursday

Hey all, its ET Thursday again. Feeling a bit lazy today but I managed to dig up a funny ET related picture.

There is a scene in the Animaiacs episode "Hooked on a Ceiling" where Yakko, Wakko, and Dot help Michelangelo (not the turtle) repaint the Sistine Chapel after they white-wash it. After their first repaint has images like Elvis, and dogs playing poker in it they repaint it again quickly before the "His Eminence" comes to view it. Before Michelangelo has time to look at the finished painting the special guest arrives. Michelangelo is horrified as they both look over the painting to find our buddies ET and Elliot in the finished work. However, "His Eminence" loves it, who in fact turns out to be Steven Spielberg (although he is never named, you know its him).

One other pop culture reference to note, four ninja turtles pop out during the introduction when the narrator is naming well known figures from the renaissance. Jeremy will like that one.

Enough talk, just watch the episode!

ET Thursday

This week is another flea market find. Behold... the ET light up candy dispenser holder thing.

ET on a stump

mmmm... vintage candies

SUPER DELUXE LIGHT UP ACTION FEATURE!!!

At first I was so pumped to find this because I thought it was an original 1982 product. But then I thought, gee, maybe the candy would be in worse shape. Then I thought, gee that doesn't look like a sculpt from 1982. Then I thought, gee, the light up feature is pretty good and the batteries still work from 1982. Then I read the label and saw the web address and thought, gee, I didn't know Reese's candy had a website in 1982. OK, so this didn't turn out to be from 1982, but from the 20th anniversary in 2002. Is 10 years vintage yet? Still, I had to buy it, to sit amongst friends on the shelf.
