Flea market (I got a Power Glove + WWE Ice Cream)

[Rocky Van Heineken]

I went to the flea market today in Tiffin. I hadn't been to one since June and I had kinda missed the wheelin and dealin scene.

One of the the first booths I went to had a bunch of old laserdiscs (and good ones too like T2 and Good Burger) and DVDs. I wasn't expecting to find much, since I don't have a laser disc player and I'm not one for flea market DVDs. Then as I turned around, I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

The Power Glove.



I picked it up with a smile and kindly asked the gentleman how much he wanted. He said "Oh, I don't know ... what about ten dollars?" I immediately pulled out my wallet and paid him, thus purchasing my very first power glove.

What a way to start out the day.

As I was looking at some of the booths outside, I found this for 50 cents:



It's a beautiful Hulk Hogan mug to go along with my Andre the Giant one. What a deal!

Of course no flea market venture would be complete without some vinyl purchasing. I was able to get another copy of Thriller, Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, Moving Pictures, the American Graffiti Soundtrack, and two 45s (Dr. Hook and Elvis) all for $2.50.

I picked up the top 50 TNA moments and the best of Samoa Joe for 2 bucks. I'm not the biggest TNA fan, but for two dollars, that's a bargain.

Oh yeah, I found this too. Now I just need to learn how to not suck at it:



So, twenty dollars later, I now own all of this junk. And that's not even the best part. When I got home to unload my bounty, the ice cream truck man stopped right outside of my house.

And after all of these years from eluding me, I was finally able to get them - WWE ice cream bars!





What a great day.

Make sure you punch someone with the Power Glove.

Trust me, it's fun.

[Mozenrath]

Great haul!

I didn't know they still made WWE ice cream bars. Never see them in stores.

[Alucard]

Hah cool, you licked CM Punk AND RVD.

[Dirty Hazy]

Now, listen to me very clearly.

You MUST eat the WWE-ice cream bars WHILE wearing the power glove and holding some kind of drink in Hogan glass with other hand.

Only then will you be able to open a portal to the '80s. A portal that someone has already went into and created a future where you don't exist. Now, go in there and fix your future!

I pray for the day when I go to one of those kinda things and see a Virtual Boy for sale. I have a thing for old consoles, especially ones that didn`t become too successful for some reason.

Flea Markets are one of the greatest things on the planet.

How old is that RVD ice cream bar?

That RVD ice cream bar does look pretty old, but that's nothing compared to the sticker that the ice cream man had in his truck. He had one of the original WWF ice cream bar ads, featuring Hulk Hogan. You could tell where he kept marking up the price because at one point they only cost 50 cents.

Have you put on the power glove and said
"I love the power glove...It's so BAD"
if not go do so immediately.

Damn, I bought my Best of Samoa Joe for $16
