GI Joe and Transformers had a crossover series in the 80s, when Marvel had the licenses and was publishing individual comic series for both. I had a subscription to GI Joe for a while but only a few issues of Transformers. I did enjoy the writing of both and how it was clearly aimed at a bit...

I had a ton of GI Joe and a few Transformers as well. My brother and I even had the USS Flagg aircraft carrier. But I think we ditched all of those in stages, between three cross country moves in '87, '90, and '93.

I have some old VHS I haven't ditched yet, and a few vinyl records I can't currently play, though I'll likely pick up another turntable at some point. I've got the original Star Wars soundtrack 1977 double album, Bob Johnson and Pete Knight (of Steeleye Span's) musical version of The King of...

It was tweaked a bit to connect to an existing Action Man IP, and branded as Action Force in the UK. There were a few generations of the toys, getting closer to and incorporating more of GI Joe directly over time and apparently once Hasbro got full control of the line from Palitoy in 1985...

Once upon a time, but not anymore. All the MotU stuff went away, I cannot recall exactly when. Probably either in '87 or '90 during a move.

Where do you fall on what weight to start at coming back from a deload? I should start off a bit lighter than I peaked last time, ja? And build to a higher peak, but I'm not sure how far I'm going to drop back.

I feel the same in reverse! My endurance for regular working sessions feels pathetic next to yours and Scribe's in terms of volume. Just 3, maybe 4 exercises most of the time, for 3-4 sets each. Though going to failure and pushing beyond with drop sets most of the time does mean I need a lot...

Wednesday I didn't get in due to other factors, but I got in Thursday night for the first de-load session. Basically did all 6 of my current mainstay upper and back exercises in 45 minutes or so, as opposed to the usual 3-4 in an hour+, by doing them substantially lighter and not approaching...

Road Warrior had a UK release apparently in March 1982, and this issue of White Dwarf was Oct 1982, but Aftermath was released in 1981. There was certainly other post-apoc fiction to inspire Aftermath, though, so I suspect Sevenbastard is right.

I immediately thought of suet pudding, and other historic dishes which show up in the Aubrey/Maturin novels. It makes sense that they'd have it around the holidays, with suet pudding and figgy pudding being old school New/English holiday standards.

Morrus already took Fairytale of New York, but this one is a sentimental fave too:

Of course. Different toys, naturally.
