They missed the perfect opportunity to add to the legend of Florida Man.

"Florida Man bitten by shark goes to bar instead of hospital" would have been so much better.

Watching some Robocop lately & im honestly surprised I was allowed to watch this stuff as a kid with the pretty graphic violence & cursing.

The massive push to sell kid's toys for 6-10 year olds is pretty damned hilarious actually

R-rated movies were definitely fertile ground for kids toys:

Toxic crusader actually came out with a cartoon before the toys, after the movie.

Non-conformists? Nah, you all look alike, and here's the proof: Hipster offended his photo is in article about hipsters looking all the same, it isn't him

Random thought of the day:

Those reflective, or whatever you want to call them, traffic lights that you can’t see what color the light is until you’re under it should be illegal.

Unless someone f***ed up and installed them wrong, they are that way for a reason. Usually because there's another signal too close or multiple movements involved. They certainly make you think on your toes though haha.

Any chance you're talking about the ones in Barrington? Trying to think where else they're installed around here...

The one at the circle near the Cherry Hill Mall on 38 is “deadly” to me. You come up on it going 50 around a slight curve and with no warning it’s yellow/red. I drive slow around it because I know it’s there but then I’m the one that’s going to get ran into cause Jenna is on her phone riding my ass behind me won’t stop in time.

There’s a couple other ones that aren’t as big of a deal but you’re still guessing. That one on 38 is wild though.

I wholeheartedly agree. Don’t take away my “vision” because other people can’t pay enough attention while operating a 2 ton machine.
On that note, intersections that have timers, visible to drivers, that don’t turn yellow when the timer hits zero should gtfo as well.

Forgot about that one, that's definitely because of those movements from the circle turning onto 38.

It should only be the 2nd of the two signals in each direction though. Are you seeing it on the first signal as you approach too? That doesn't sound right of that's the case.

I’ll have to look again the next time I go through it.

But I think it might be the first one, and if it’s not I feel like I’ve gone through the first where it was green and then the next one it’s a stale yellow/red where you’re left in no man’s land.

That's when I've had issues there, that no man's land section. It should be timed to account for that exact scenario, but it's definitely not always the case.

If Jenna crushes you from behind it's her fault anyway so you can just own her soul as long as she doesn't kill you.

I love how if you have to make a left hand turn and enter the intersection you now have no goddamned idea when the light changes and have to put your faith in all the drivers who just got a green light to not blindly plow into you before you can clear the intersection. You have to sit there and "guess" if the light turned red.

In my state it's now rare to see them in areas with speed limits over 25.

Was that a spin-off of the Toxic Avenger

I hate when those timed ones that will make the road you are on red when there is zero traffic coming thru the intersection. We have lights here in Concord that stay red for up to 90 seconds with no traffic going through the 4 way.

Someone’s having a good time putting Ronnie the Limo Driver & Bababooey from Stern on the casting list on Wikipedia.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That looks crazy good, which is not surprising.

I know, I have the Toxie Box Set that they threw a disc of those cartoons in with! I couldn't stoop to actually watch them though. At least I can support an independent guy like Lloyd Kaufmann trying to make an extra buck to keep his studio open vs. large studios that know kids probably shouldn't be watching these movies at their age but want to wring every last cent out of the property, conscience be damned.
