How appropriate that this should arrive in my mail box today:
Sure, 7-11 is offering free Slurpees today, but if I had that flux capacitor working on my time machine, I’d be headed back to 1976 to pick up on of the free plastic cups they were handing out.
I bought this poster on eBay last week. From the pictures, I couldn’t tell if it was a silk screen print or not, but I still thought it was pretty great. Unfortunately, it’s not a silk screen, but a mass-produced 4-color poster, but I still love it.
Just look at this guy:
What’s not to love?
I had that cup. My mom threw it and a ton more away while my brother and I were in school….curse you mother.
ouch. The best response to these horror stories is to tell your mom how those same cups could have paid for that tuition (not really).
It’s funny. That version of King Kong was just on HBO Family earlier tonight.
Yep, i caught it last week. I always get sucked in to watching it if I see it is on.
Yeah, the best part of that movie is when King Kong and The Dude go bowling – then they team up to fight the MCP on their lightcycles.
Hmmm. I must have have been pouring myself a white Russian during that scene. 😉
That’s a shame – best scene of the movie!
It’s okay, though I screencapped it for you
Oops – looks like the screencap didn’t take. Let me try that again.

There you go – best scene of the movie.
HAHAHAHA! Now I definitely need to watch it again. 😉
Yeah, you can’t miss it. It’s right after Dwan gets bitten by the snake and right before Kong soils Jack Prescott’s rug (a shame, too – it really tied the room together.)
I’m a huge fan of Dino’s King Kong. I always defend it. This is a great pickup. I was always tempted to get that cup on ebay.
Now that I have this poster that cup tempts me more than ever! 😉
My Bro and I had some of these!! What a great graphic. 7-11 was Da Bomb back in the 70’s and 80’s!
