My Batman Collection
1989 - 1997
History I have always been a fan of the Batman character, though more because of the 60s TV show than the comics. Back in the mid 1980s a friend of mine, Amanda Chalkley, collected Batman merchandise when tragically her collection was destroyed in a fire when it was stored in her friend's backyard shed. As you can imagine she lost a lot of unique and original 1960s items in that incident. Then in 1989 a new film called Batman was released and I was determined not to become a collector after seeing what happened to Amandas collection. But the character of Batman in the film was too appealing for me to resist: black, mysterious and with a flowing cape. With an image as strong as this I couldnt help but at least buy the 1989 Batman calendar and I used it. I then bought the Batman kids board game and I used that too. From then on I slowly (and somewhat reluctantly) started buying a bit more Batman merchandise to be kept in mint condition and thus my collection was born. |
This is a photo of my collection as it first looked in 1989 after I had been collecting for a few weeks. |
This is how it turned out 4 years later
And this is how it looks today, living in one dedicated room all by itself
did I collect? My main focus was always on Batman himself and never the villains nor the other characters (Robin, Batgirl, etc). For example when it came to buying figurines I would only purchase the Batman ones. The only time I ever bought other characters is when a particular set was available that looked really good eg: the four sculptured Batman Forever glasses and the Batman Returns neck pen set both of which came from McDonalds. In these instances I own the other characters but they aren't on display. As fate would have it I was the only Batman collector amongst all my collecting friends, so when it came to Christmas or birthdays I would do really well out of it (girlfriends especially were very accommodating in this regard). In fact I would say that well over 10% of my collection has come from gifts or donations. |
did I stop collecting? Quite simply, my collecting finished after the release of Batman and Robin in 1997 because I deplored the film immensely. Up until that point, despite being disappointed with Batman Forever, I kept collecting merchandise anyway as I was also focusing on Batman: The Animated Series at the same time. Yet when Batman and Robin was released I found it difficult to spend money on merchandise as I hated the film so much. In fact it was a tumultuous moment when I picked up that small B&R collectable from the store shelf, looked at it, then put it back on the shelf and walked away. This was something I had not done in all my collecting years and after that moment I never collected Batman merchandise again. These days it's easy for me to walk past anything Batman related, though I do admit the 2006/2007 Batman TV, DVD player and tape deck/radio did peak my interest for a while. Fortunately I've long past the days where I needed to grab each action figure as it was released along with yet ANOTHER Batcycle or Batmobile. Batman collecting is too expensive a hobby to continue full time and although a part of me misses the thrill of grabbing everything I could get my hands on, I am rather content with the extra dollars I've been able to save (and storage space in my house) as a result of stopping. Fortunately my collecting stopped before eBay came into being which proved to be very beneficial as there is a LOT of great stuff there - perhaps too much. If I was a collector shopping on eBay today, I'd probably be living on the street surrounded by tonnes of merchandise looking for something to eat. Still having said that, I did pick up a couple of items from eBay which I loved getting, but very soon after I decided to avoid the Batman section of eBay to prevent any further temptation - and as of today I still don't go there for fear of heading down the Dark Path. Sometimes collecting was fun and other times it was just downright annoying, especially when it came to the never ending action figures and the even more frustrating trading cards. For example when Batman came out in 1989 there were only two sets of trading cards released (series 1 and 2), by the time Batman Forever came out a few years later there were like 5 or 6 different sets not including rarities, chaser cards and all the other varieties. Trading cards ended up being a painful expense which wasn't helped by the fact they could only be stored in special sleeves within folders no one would ever look at - and of course their value plummeted when a particular film had passed on. Needless to say it was a joyous relief when I didn't have to buy another set of cards ever again. Interestingly one unexpected side effect of not collecting any longer is how my friends reacted. Even though I haven't been a serious collector since the mid 1990s, my friends find they can't help themselves and will still give me the odd Batman item from time to time - in fact my last collectable gift was in January 2014, 17 years after I'd stopped collecting! |
Philosophies As an essentially "late start" Batman collector based in Australia with limited resources, I found it very difficult to find items pre the 89 film, mainly due to the increasingly rare availability as well as their high cost (a mint-in-box Corgi die-cast Batmobile from the 1960s still eludes me). So in the end I had no choice but to concentrate solely on the new films and to focus my collection on them rather than the Batman franchise as a whole - which ultimately made sense considering Batman was the film which kick started my collection off. With that in mind, I acknowledge and accept that my collection isn't worth as much as one would expect - in essence it may have the quantity but certainly not the quality - as unfortunately I barely have anything from the 60s era, which is where the best and most impressive Batman collectables come from. My methodology was based on the view that I would happily spend money on a number of cheap and nasty items rather than the same amount on one really expensive item. In fact I can still recall how shattered I was when Warner Bros opened up their first Movie Studio Store in my city and literally every Batman collectable they had on the shelves was out of my price range. Also one area I did not look at were the Batman comics or graphic novels. Due the huge amount in production I found they were an entity unto themselves so I had to choose between just collecting them or concentrating on other merchandise. Because I enjoy the look and feel of three dimensional objects, I chose to bypass collecting the comics unless I could get them really cheap, even though I do thoroughly enjoy reading them whenever possible. One of my collecting laws was never to take anything out of its packaging, ever! Subsequently I ended up buying some great items like the Batmobile telephone which came in a sealed box with no plastic window, as a result I have never seen what these items look like in real life. The same applied to the car racing sets and other cool games which remain forever sealed despite my friends constantly hassling me to open them up and have a play with them. At one point I was really tempted to buy the children's Batman bicycle, however, brand new bikes are shipped in a box so I would've been forced to leave it like that especially if it had a Batman logo on it. |
size of the collection Quite often people look at the collection and remark at how large it is - some have even stated it's the largest collection in Australia which I categorically refute. Despite the initial impression the collection gives off, in the grand scheme of things Id be lucky to have 0.02% of the entire Batman range of collectables ever produced from 1939 to the present day (and this ratio is getting smaller by the year). What blows me away is I have a magazine article written years ago about Joe Desris, who at one time would easily have had the biggest Batman collection in the world. Aside from his display cabinets looking totally awesome, I looked at the pictures and realised I barely had any of the stuff he has. Alongside this were the two large 1960s based collections shown in the Special Features of the 2014 60s Batman DVD release which were truly fantastic and way beyond anything I have. Still to be fair to myself, both of these great collections started when the collectors were little kids as opposed to myself who started when I was 22. Furthermore, these guys are still collecting merchandise today unlike myself who stopped nearly 20 years ago. Yet despite my collection being no where near as impressive or as valuable as those mentioned above, this didn't stop Michael Wayne, an Australian film maker, from contacting me in 2014 to make a short film about the collection. Ironically Michael was attracted to the collection because it started with the release of Batman '89. |
much has my collection cost me? This is a good question. I remember buying my very first Batman Forever items which were four jigsaw puzzles for $35 and to top it off I didn't even like them! There were LOTS of impulse spending sprees like this. Looking back on it now, I had a habit of just buying anything I could find without really thinking whether the item was worth getting or not. Consequently many items I own I should never have bought in the first place and that of course equated to a lot of wasted money. As for the total cost who knows (perhaps I don't want to know), but it did force me to keep driving my old 1973 Datsun throughout the 90s because I couldn't afford a new car. |
I ever sell up? Yes I would. I always said if I had to move house again the collection would not be coming with me. In previous house shifts, it required many boxes to carefully store everything away and there's no way I could be bothered going through all that again. As for a price? Well I'm willing to sell it all now if the right offer is made (and I do have a price in mind) but the entire collection would be sold in one giant lot because if I start splitting it up I'll be stuck with heaps of leftover items that wouldn't have a home. I do plan to put together a comprehensive visual catalogue for potential buyers but as that is a REALLY big job, it might take me a while. |
Amusing anecdotes |
So where is the collection now??? |
moving house on a couple of occasions and having the
whole collection stored in a friend's garage - which
unfortunately resulted in some items experiencing water
damage - the collection lived a nomadic existance for a
number of years as it moved around from place to place.
Finally in late 2003 the collection found a home in a
dedicated room in my new house and is now on permanent
display. The pictures below were taken in January 2011 and show the collection as it appears today with a couple of small alterations. I also have a lot more action figures and other things such as posters and T-shirts, however, a lack of wall space has prevented me from putting them all on display. It's also worth noting that when I set this room up, I'd actually stopped collecting six years prior. So unlike most collections you see today which are still on going and therefore receive a lot of attention in how they're displayed, mine was setup just so I could get everything out of storage boxes. |
The following photos were taken in 2011. Some sections weren't covered simply because they contain some pretty ordinary things
In no particular order...
My pride
and joy - the '89 Batman Colas (can and bottle),
still sealed, including a new can of Cola to the right of
the bottle. I remember seeing the bottle at a collectors
fair where it was selling for $10 and I couldn't get my
money out quick enough. To me it was a MUST HAVE item
though when you think about it who pays $10 for a bottle
of Coke! Unfortunately it never occurred to me to buy a
slab of the Cola cans from '89, wow imagine if they had a
Batman logo on the packet... Got the special Hong Kong Commemorative figure in the back - don't ask me why they ever made this, but it looks good just the same - along with the 100th issue Batman figure which was a big deal at the time. I can't even begin to imagine how many figures they have now! In the middle at the bottom is a Batmobile in a box that was damaged whilst my collection was being moved around in storage. Not happy Jan, especially as I've never seen this item again. Next to the Cola can was something weird, a tightly sealed Batman towelette that expands to full size when placed in water. Who thinks of these things? What's the deal with the little '89 figure on the top left hand corner above the videos? Speaking of videos, the ones on the left are of the 1949 Batman and Robin serial and next to them is the DVD of the same thing. I don't have the 1943 serial. At the back is a Batman Returns cereal packet, this was bought for me as a gift from the US but alas it's empty. Imagine the value if it was unopened. . |
You can
see my Scalextric Batmobile behind the white cup which I
was mega rapt to find. On the right is the McDonalds release sculptured drinking glass which was made in France at a time when the French were out of favour due to their nuclear testing - a pity because the glass sculpture itself is pretty impressive. In the front are the only '60s Corgi Batmobiles I own - a pretty tragic menagerie huh? Not a mint-in-box to be seen anywhere - pardon me while I shed a tear of inadequacy. Funnily enough I did see one at a US collectors fair in 1993 and even THEN it was selling for around $400! Note the Batman toothpaste at the top right. Believe it or not, the tall item in the middle is talcom powder which goes to show they'll market anything for Batman. Just above the McDonalds glass is a four pack of candy sticks. In the old days these were called 'Fags' (a somewhat non politically correct term now) and were meant to look like cigarettes. Yep, even as kids we were encouraged to look cool by smoking. The white mug to the left is one of the few "vintage" (ie: pre 1989) items I own. Interestingly this appeared in one of the special collection videos from the 2014 Batman 66 DVDs. . |
Visible on
the left is a VHS Batman Legacy pack, I
eventually ended up owning around 7 copies of the '89
film, most of which you'll see in the other pics. Got a lot of really nice trinkets here like rings, buttons, the pewter figure on the left (which is pretty heavy) and so on which makes for a neat little collection in itself. That pink tube on the right is a whole paper roll full of Batman logos, man that's a lotta logos! At the top in the middle is a real cheap ass looking Batmobile. Just what I need ... not. The cufflinks on the right were nearly used once. I was Best Man at a friend's wedding and we thought our shirts would need them, but nup we had buttons instead so these bad boys went right back on the shelf untouched. At the back is the Animated Series Batmobile. I really wasn't a fan of buying these items as they were quite big and naturally I never got to see what they looked like in real life. Still as a collector what do you do??? . |
In the
middle is something I thought was a bit left field,
Batman sunscreen - ahhh isn't the caped crusader only
supposed to come out at night? Gotta love the gumball machine on the right. There are some cool things here, like the Batman floppy disks in the middle which I was rapt to get. On top of the floppy disks is an example of meaningless merchandise - the Batman figure on the purple base - sometimes you wonder why anyone buys this stuff (I was a collector so that's my excuse). Over to the left is the Batman pen from McDonalds. I have the other characters (Catwoman, Penquin) but they aren't on display. The Batmobile pops up in another pic somewhere. The metal figures at the middle-back were something I bought really early on in my collecting days. Over 25 years later I still have no idea what they look like. Next to the gumball machine is a toothbrush, you'd think I'd display this with the toothpaste huh? . |
display is a bit of a mish mash of things. Shown at the
bottom right (though hard to see) are various packs of
playing cards (the Ace, Diamond, Heart, Club variety)
which I kinda like. The Batman Returns jigsaw puzzles have boxes that can't be resealed once open. In my time I ended up buying a number of jigsaw puzzles which really were a waste as most of them were quite ugly, for example over to the right is the Batman Forever jigsaw puzzle which makes up a terrible picture. I really didn't like the Forever stuff as the colour was always a yucky green/yellow. Yech. The Visa Bat Cash thing was for $20. Naturally the card hasn't been used and I think I paid more than $20 for it, so yep I got ripped off. . |
More Batman
'89 videos over to the right, with plenty more to come. Bottom left (though you're looking a the white base) is one of my personal favourite items, Batman bandaids! The white mold things in the centre, I have no idea what they are for. The Japanese box on the left is a costume of sorts - going by the pictures on the back. Must be damn small! More jigsaw puzzles. At least the boxes aren't square and the old circular one in the middle allows you to assemble the puzzle then put it back into the container again ... hmm one day I should check to see if all the pieces are actually in there. The blue Batman head on the top right still has the candy in it. . |
To the
left is a Batman lollypop with the lolly still present,
though it kinda lost its shape a bit as well as leaking
down onto the figure - this is becaue the collection room
sometimes gets a bit warm during Summer. At least it's
still sealed which is the main thing but the battery is
flat so it doesn't spin around anymore. I love the three packs of badges in the back, they made for a really nice set and I was rapt to get them - though I can't remember where or when that was. The mug set in the box was another good score. Sometimes you buy items because you're a collector and other times you buy items because you REALLY like them. This was definitely the latter. Note the jigsaw puzzle to the left, one of many ugly and pointless jigsaws I own and is an example of something I got simply because I was a collector. At the bottom on the right are some Batman logo iron on transfers. I actually bought a couple of packs of these and made myself a Batman toga to wear at parties - see it here. The Pez dispensers at the bottom are all unopened. . |
Oh look,
another copy of Batman '89 over to the left. I have no idea what the flat head Batman is meant to be in the middle. Some items I really should just get rid of 'cause all they're doing is taking up space. The bottle on the left including the Batmobile in the front is bubble bath. Hmm washing with Batman bubbles, kinda sounds a bit wrong doesn't it? The big Batman Animated head at the back right is a shower curtain. Considering it's been sealed in the box since the mid 1990s I doubt it could ever be opened up and used as the plastic has probably fused itself together. The Batman Animated bottle on the right is shampoo with the bust of Batman wrapped in plastic. In fact I think the black Batman behind that is shampoo too. . |
When I
found the Batman shoes, I was rapt because I'd never seen
them before - and no they don't fit. Alas I was really
let down when I later discovered when bought brand new
they came in a really cool Batman shoe box. I had a
chance to grab a box later down the track but it was so
badly damaged that it wasn't worth it. Ironically if I
did have the shoe box the shoes would probably be stored
inside so you wouldn't see them. You wouldn't think it, but that playhouse at the back is quite heavy. I have no idea what's in it ... a playhouse I guess. On the right (side on) are the patterns to make a Batman costume with the most dodgy looking cowl you can imagine. I don't know how they managed to con the guy and kid to pose for the cover photos as they are mega embarrassing. I actually have a bed sheet to go with the pillow case. . |
Notice the
Batmobile telephone, to this day I still have no idea
what it looks like in real life. All the candy boxes are full and unopened which I think is pretty groovy. The pinball game at the back was a great find, but alas I've never seen it outside the box. Items like this are a blast to buy because they are just so different and unique. What I like about this item is that it's in absolutely mega mint condition like it was made yesterday. The little plastic container in front of the phone has nothing in it. Got no idea what it's for. Ironically The Batman Collection box cover on the left is empty. The comics weren't included when I got it. Do you like the 60's Batman cassette tape in the middle, one guess who doesn't have a tape player in their house. The Batboat on the right is the only Corgi item I have still in a box. . |
Ho hum,
yes over to the left is another Batman '89 VHS
tape, this time it's the UK version which I bought
because it was in widescreen. Notice the great looking clock in the middle. Despite their highly inflated prices, the Warner Bros store did sometimes have some affordable stuff but that didn't happen often. In fact I once had a face to face argument with a WB staff member in Queensland after they were selling a towel and face washer set for $90 (probably worth about $40). I said how could they believe this price was justified as it was clearly a rip off and her off-hand response was "the collectors will buy it". I was livid! Sometimes getting a collectable from a friend is a joke at your expense. In front of the clock is a stack of slide strips (about 30 in total) that are designed to go into a small slide projector. The guy who gave them to me laughed his head off when I discovered that all of them had exactly the same picture. Yes that is a Batman AM/FM radio to the right, they created some weird things with that Batman Forever head piece mold. On the right hand side is a paper carry bag from McDonalds in the US which wasn't released in Australia. . |
you're killin' me man, not ANOTHER damn Batman
'89 VHS tape!!! At the back is one of my two favourite jigsaw puzzles. Unlike most of them which were just crap, this one was class all the way - you could almost call it a "mature" edition. I can't imagine making it though, all those black pieces. Yikes! All the trading card boxes are full and unopened which means all the bubble gum is still there too! I only ever bought these when they were selling cheap. The tin Batmobile is probably the most expensive item I have. I bought it off my best mate for $40 who didn't realise what it was worth. The car itself is gold in colour even though on the box it's blue. I once met a collector who was selling two of these - a red one and a blue one - at $500 each! Owning three cars of different colours would've been fantastic for the collection but that was just too expensive, especially when you consider we're talking 1994 prices here! The Batman item above the tin car on the left is a stubby holder. If you're not Australian you'll probably have no idea what that means. The three motor bike/trike looking things at the front are called a "B Rider with Car" and are essentially a black Batman ... with a TURTLE shell on top. Ya gotta love them unauthorised knock offs. . |
I ended up
getting some stuff from the Batman Adventure Ride located
at Warner Bros Movie World in Queensland. I only went
there a couple of times so a big spend up was always in
order. I tell ya, it's amazing how much crap you'll buy
just because you're in this "all Batman"
environment, especially when you're not planning to
return for years. In the end I would just cut loose with
the spending and didn't think about it - if anything I
kinda felt cool being a "real Batman Collector"
mixing it with the plebs, even though it was all in my
head (like as if anyone was going to care who I was). The
worst thing about the store is they didn't offer a mail
order service so the only way to keep on top of any new
items was to physically visit the theme park, which
didn't help me as my home is around 2,000 kilometres
away! The Batman Returns item at the middle-back is a punch out display, I kept this one unpunched so there wouldn't be many around because it's really fragile. Notice the 3D View Master? Well guess where the slides are all kept, yep on the other side of the room. I really didn't plan that out well did I? I also have a couple of party items here, including some cups on the left and some blowey things on the right. . |
Got a few
more party related products: drinking cups, plastic cover
sheets and invites. The obscured jigsaw at the back left is covered off in my Amusing Anecdotes section. Viewed side on to the left is a complete party pack that contains cups, a table cloth and other bits and pieces and is quite a groovy little item. . |
PANIC! Just in case you thought there were no more copies
of Batman '89, there's another one in a box set
on the left. Phew! Did I mention how I really dislike the Batman Forever colour scheme? Isn't it ugly! And what's with the design of Batman himself in the Batman Forever box on the right, seriously how could this poxy design be classed as "official"? I was always impressed that the Batman Animated neck tie on the left was in a box. Once again there's another playset, all sealed up never to be used. . |
All the
modern board games are sealed except for Batman
'89 which I opened and used (see the History section at
the top of this page) and I've never been able to replace
it with a sealed one which bugs me no end. Worse than
that, when we opened up the box for Michael Wayne's 2014
video we found the innards of the game had become damaged
due to mold accumlated sometime during the storage
period. I did make a specific point of buying the Batman and Robin board game simply to complete the set (plus it was cheap). I actually had a second copy of The Batman Game which had been opened up, so I had a go at playing it and it was terrible. Considering the size of the box the game play itself was a real let down. The Batman head on the right is a View Master and to the right of that is a soft touch calculator which was from Batman and Robin so it must've been given to me as a gift. . |
The Rice
Bubbles packs are still sealed. Interestingly one of them
was sold to me AFTER it had gone out of date - hmmm
could've been a law suit there. Perhaps the shop owner
knew I was never intending to eat them. I hate having to display items that don't seem to fit anywhere, so do you think the yo-yo packet on the left side will stand up by itself? Nope! The items along the bottom are a series of ink stamp sets. I think the Flying Batman is one of the last items I bought before officially stopping the collecting game. . |
Along the
bottom are a series of Batman pencil sharpeners and
things. Once again the big toys make an appearance. What a waste of space. It's not hard to see that the Batman figure at the back-right is a knock off, in fact on the cardboard cover there are images of Batman and Superman and neither have their chest logos ... hmmm dodgy or what. . |
At the
back is Chasers game which I never got to see working.
You use the helicopter to control the car, would've been
groovy to use. Ahh well. Gotta love the Batman football, another wacky gimmick. The Bubble Magic at the front is only half full as it leaked at some point during storage/transportation which in turn damaged the label much to my unhappiness. The loose Batbike was a gift that was given to me on the proviso that I opened it and used it. Don't worry I have a second one still mint-in-box. Phew. Check out the big flagon mug on the left, who would want to drink out of that! The item on the extreme left is a zippy Batmobile you attach to your wrist, once there you pull the thingy and off she goes! As to how well it goes is anyone's guess. . |
interest here are the Batman marbles on the right which
look good in the packet. The remote control Batmobile in the middle came in a showbag from the Royal Melbourne Show back in 1989 and I've never seen this again since, for this reason I class it as a prized item. . |
Gotta love
the upside down item on the right. Stuff like this are a
great find if the mistake is the manufacturers, but geez
it wrecks the overall image of the display. I also have a
large die-cast '89 Batmobile in a package labelled
"Joker Van". As mentioned earlier, I got sick of buying the large toys for the films. They were hard to store, expensive to buy, and took up too much space. By default as a collector you have to get them but they simply don't give you any pleasure, only headaches - especially when you end up with lots of them. To the left are a couple of Batman and Robin items. I'm guessing I got those just before I finished collecting or they were given to me as a gift which is more likely the case. At the bottom is some kids stuff from a showbag (a plastic watch and a blue thing), as you can see I've kept these in their packet but you can bet even in 200 years they will still be worthless! Honestly my life would be easier if I just threw stuff like this out 'cause looking at them just irritates me. Shown side on over to the right are Batman Begins blank CDs. These were given to me as a gift as I didn't buy anything from that film franchise, also being so recent they don't mix in well with the rest of the collection. . |
The 60s
clock radio in the middle was originally owned by the guy
who took some of the photos on this site. I like how the sunglasses on the right won't actually fit in the case provided - they actually have Batman logos on the lenses too though I have no idea why. You know I have no idea what the big Animated item is on the right. I THINK it's a picture frame. The pink badge in the middle has no pin. Go figure. The torch on the bottom left is something I ended up with two of. A mate of mine bought one for me but he took it out of the packet to see how it worked which meant it was now useless, so sure enough I had to go back and get another one to leave as mint. . |
At the
back are three comics with audio tapes. Sure they look
pretty and make for a good set, but do you think they
display well? Nup. When Batman Returns came out a number of socks were released for the film, but I only picked up a couple of samples (they're the black and white items on the bottom) and the socks in the packet sitting on top actually came from Amway. Over to the left is a Batman paddle ball, why do I always feel like watching the original House of Wax when I look at it? . |
One my
favourite items on the right, Batman cornflakes
that I bought in the US. The flakes are even shaped as
Batman logos. Love 'em. Got both Batman and Batman Returns slime though I have no idea how they would look after all this time. Refer to my Amusing Anecdotes section to see why the value of the Batman one increased a tiny bit in 2014. The plastic items at the bottom are balloons of various types. . |
The remote
control Batmobile was given to me as a Christmas gift in
around 2002 by a girlfriend who actually bought two of
them, one for me to keep mint and one to use - she even
wrapped them separately for me to open. Despite her best
intentions they weren't something I really wanted as the
Batmobile in Batman and Robin was a totally crap
design, plus unfortunately remote control cars are no
where as enjoyable to operate as radio
controlled cars. In the end the "loose" one had
very limited entertainment value. Over to the left are a set of Batman rings. Why you need to wear 8 of them is beyond me. Over to the right is the Almost Got 'Im book and tape. When Michael Wayne was making a short film about the collection in 2014, I actually discovered I had two of these on display and didn't know it! . |
The Batman
cordial bottles are actually empty. Usually I keep all
food collectables mint-in-box but with cordial I didn't
see a need to retain them this way, plus it made the
bottle quite heavy. The flavour for the second bottle is
Lime. Notice the videos on the left, guess what! None of these feature the '89 film. Woo hoo! . |
Some top
merchandise for the pool: including a beach ball,
floaties, wadding pool and even a boat! I was rapt the
extreme when I got these because they look so great. This
was another example of something I couldn't buy quick
enough. On the right is a Batman Animated floatie too - always loved that logo. There is nothing more enjoyable than getting something you've not seen before as opposed to buying yet another action figure or another vehicle. Unusual items like the pool stuff is what made collecting Batman merchandise truly worthwhile. . |
As sad as
it is, my whole Batman comic/coffee table book collection
is able to be displayed on one shelf - and some of these
items are calendars. I know I need to hang my head in
shame. . |
On the
bottom left is a Batman Begins item. Anything
from that film was given to me as a gift as I'd long
since stopped collecting when the movie came out. Talk about having a second rate knock-off for a classic. Since I don't have an original '60s Corgi Batmobile/Batboat combo pack, what did I settle for? A plastic version at the top in the middle. Shame Darren shame. Fortunately I have enough space on the top of my shelves for the large figures 'cause some of them are pretty big! Sculptures like the Batman Forever design on the bottom right were often quite exclusive and expensive so I only ever got them when they were going cheap. They were such a big deal too when they came out, now you wouldn't look twice at them. I still have the original boxes for them so technically they should've remained sealed, but in this instance I didn't see the point of leaving them this way as the box was bland and boring. . |
One of my
favourite items on the right, Batman flippers, how cool
are they! The small radio controlled Batmobile in the middle doesn't have a remote so I can't tell if it works or not. Yes I'll admit it, both of the Batman '89 movie cups at the top were picked up in the cinema after people left them behind. Hey imagine if I came across their original owners today, wouldn't they be spun out if they knew their discarded cups ended up at my place on display! Either that or they'd think I was mad. I'll let you be the judge of that. On the left is another Rice Bubbles pack which featured a free drink bottle, though we're looking at the back of the pack here. The Batman figure in the middle won't stand up by itself, what a pain. The big Batman item on the bottom left is a lunchbox. Once again for any overseas visitors, at the top left is a stubby holder. Have you figured out what they're used for yet? . |
One of my
great finds was the Gotham Chase racing car set at the
back. This was probably one item I regret never being
able to use. The Dark Rider Batman was an example of something that was disappointing to get, only because it came in a box. I saw the photo of the figure and was hanging to get it but because there is no window, I have no idea what it looks like. . |
Some bike
related stuff. I have more bike items but for some reason
they're on another shelf. The sculpture on the right was given to me as a birthday gift from a friend of mine a decade after I stopped collecting. He just walked in one day and said "here ya go, happy birthday". When first released these items used to cost heaps, and this one in particular was quite costly as it was one of the better designs. Fortunately my friend was able to get this particular one quite cheap. There's another "once expensive, now cheap" sculpture of Batman and the Riddler on the left. Today you wouldn't look twice at this in a store, and to be honest it doesn't look THAT good, especially when you compare it to the sculpture on the right. The Batcopter in the middle, though not mint-in-box (in fact the box is pretty damaged), still works really well. The Room Defender at the top was one of those "what the hell is this?" item. Look at the size of the box compared to the size of the thing itself. Damn ugly too. . |
Apologies for the blurry photo *** The toy bike was not authorised but came with some awesome stickers ... not that I've actually seen them. Lugging this around in storage was a pain but at least it didn't weigh much. Refer to my Amusing Anecdotes section regarding the history of the Batman Returns drink cup on the left. What irks me the most is the flask in the middle with the crooked logo. Argh! At the back to the left is a Batman toy crime fighting kit. Items like this never display well because they don't stand up by themselves. I ended up getting a whole range of kids toys like this (too many in fact) and if I was to regret anything about collecting it'd be wasting money on this sort of stuff. Totally worthless. . |
This is
definitely my favourite display setup. Heaps of stuff to
look at and unfortunately the photo doesn't do it
justice. In the bottom right of middle are unscratched Batman and Robin scratchies. People used to say in shock "there could be $500,000 in there!" but I didn't care. These stayed mint. Yes that is Batman swimming goggles down the bottom. Damn uncomfortable to wear - a home made item I think. The Batman Returns antenna head band in the middle I got from Las Vegas. You've got ask yourself why it was ever made especially as it's an officially licenced product. Unfortunately the packaging for the water blaster at the top was badly damaged when I got it, and I've never seen another one to replace it. Sure I could go to eBay to look for one but that's a no-no as it'd be opening me up to dangerous temptation. Next to the water pistol/space shooter is the only Batman Christmas decoration I own. I never knew there were so many Batman viewmaster slides to the right. In case you're wondering, I do have a viewmaster on another shelf, not that it matters as they're all sealed. Same applies to Batman tattoos in the middle, I didn't know there were so many of them til I got them all together. You'll notice lots of pens and pencils in the cup, and that's not all of them either as others ended up on other shelves. Next to the cup with the pens is a Batman Returns nite light, a cool item ... if you have a US power socket which we don't have here in Australia. I made a point of displaying one of the loose Batman Band-Aids which I love. It's in the middle at the bottom. At the top in the back is a Batmobile tent. If I recall this item was quite heavy. The Road Racing set at the back is something all my friends wanted to play with. Nup. Sorry. Down the bottom are a stack of kids play kits. I ended up getting a number of variations of these even though they are all rubbish, plus they are impossible to display properly. So why did I get them? Quite simply there were days where I really wanted to spend money buying something for the collection and these were all I could find at the time. Alas I hated them at the time and I hate them now. Ahhh well. . |
Top: In my travels I ended up picking up a lot of bicycle stuff, most of which is here. Check out my Amusing Anecdotes section to hear the saga about trying to find a bike helmet. The Batwing at the bottom was a punch out "flyer" that I got from the video store when ... you guessed it the '89 film came out on VHS - did I mention I have a few copies of that? The water feature thing on the left was something that never really appealed to me. Another example of "well I have to get it but I don't really want it" items. Shelf 1: Here is a selection of birthday cards - but just a selection as I couldn't be bothered trying to get all of them. Funnily enough my girlfriend in 1992 went nuts buying all the Batman Returns greeting cards who then put them into a folder which looked really great. Shame I didn't think to buy the folder from her when we split up. Shelf 2: One thing I thought was really neat was the stamp set. Sometimes you come across a really cool item and then never see it again anywhere else - which makes me feel glad I grabbed it when I did. Stashed in the back in the middle (barely visible) is a yellow pencil case, this item I found ... somewhere and the reason for it being in the back is because the original owner (a kid obviously) wrote his name in permanent texta on the back of it. If I was see him now I'd clout him one for doing that "you ruined my ultra rare collectable goddamn it!" LOL Shelf 3: Just a couple of the large die cast '89 vehicles. These are only here as I had nowhere else to put them. Though you can't see it, the Batmobile is actually labelled 'Joker Van'. Obtaining items with manufacturing errors like this is pretty groovy. . |
Top: The Batman coat hangers I bought from Coles supermarket in around 2005 because I had never seen them before and they were cheap. The two logos on the left were made by a mate of mine as a gift. More jigsaw puzzles on the right, how many does that make now? Shelf 1: One of the hardest things about setting up all the pins and badges was getting them all to sit straight. As you can see, there's just no room for any more. Shelf 2: Believe it or not, one of the watches has some functions labelled on the front, but the buttons for the functions aren't actually there, including the one to adjust the time. Man that's gotta be a cheapie! I can't believe the watch on the left side came with a brown band. Yuck! Shelf 3: At the bottom is a selection of various trading card packs that were released which actually look pretty cool when put together. Some of the sets I actually have complete boxes of which is pretty neat. . |
figures, awww man what a pain! Series after series that
were never ending. I bought nearly all of mine from a
local independent dealer as my way of "supporting
the little guy". I reckon I kept the economy of his
entire business going for years and years. Keen observers will note only Batman is featured on display and no other character. For the most part I didn't buy any of the other characters and if I did they weren't put on display. Refer to my Amusing Anecdotes section with regards to the hassle I had with putting these on the wall. Down the bottom is a vintage blue Batman cowl. This one I got from a friend of mine which was in used condition, but I did see one mint-in-box in a store during the 1990s - for $285! Mega ouch but geez it looked grouse! . |
The big
Batcave was covered in black plastic for nearly 8 years
from the day I bought it (the toy store wrapped it like
that because it was on lay-by). Since I had nowhere to
display it I opted to leave it in the plastic until it
could finally be put on display 8 years later, only then
did I discover they had sticky taped a bit of the plastic
onto the actual box (right in the middle in fact) which
ripped when coming off. This is why the back of the box
is featured here and not the front. Unfortunately that
one little tear has totally ruined this item's value and
I couldn't go back to the toy store where I bought it to
complain as they had closed down years before. On the top left are two cookiee boxes which are still sealed and unopened. The one on the right is mentioned in my Amusing Anecdotes section above. Off to the right is something a bit odd (and partially obscured), a Batman audio tape deck. Sure, I wanna stick a tape in the back of Batman's head! Seriously, how cool are those boxed action figures at the top! They're listed as exclusive which means there will be millions of them. Believe it or not, the conical shaped Batman Forever thing on the top left is actually an inverted popcorn container. Don't ask me how you're supposed to stand it up when it's full. On the right are more Batman figures. Some of the non film related series looked really good and others not so much. As it turns out I like the series at the top but not the ones on the bottom. . |
display is only temporary as I need to get a new cabinet
to set some things up The steering wheel cover on the bottom middle was the very first thing I ever bought on eBay and it arrived in a pizza box. I was so rapt to get it because even though I had long since stopped collecting it was something I just HAD to have. Since then I've bought one or two more items from eBay (one is the barely visible tray table in the middle) but now I deliberately don't go to the Batman section on eBay anymore. Not all collecting stories have a happy ending. The large Batman Returns figure on the right was part of a REALLY big cinema display stand. It was given to me as a gift which I really appreciated but it was just too large to keep let alone setup. After lugging it around for over 10 years the day came when it had to get the flick because it just wasn't practical to hang onto, alas this is the only part I kept. The three windscreen heat shield covers in the middle were all bought for me by my best mate for three consecutive Christmas'. The Batman Returns sign on the bottom left is made of polystyrene and is really fragile. Unfortunately I simply have no where to display it properly. . |
Now tell
me if you know anyone else who has one of these. The reason for the black tape at the bottom is because this is stored in the butter tray inside my fridge to stop people opening it (accidently of course). These came out in 1992 and both my best mate and I bought one. Being chocolate they eventually turned white with age when one day my mate rang me up to say his had just crumbled. In a panic I instantly put mine in the fridge and sure enough it has remained intact ever since. My mate cracked me up though because after his had broken up he opted to eat it rather than throw it out. At one point he said "I think this is a wheel". . |
Out of my
whole collection these items fascinate people the most.
Mint condition ice creams. Now I'll admit that over time
they have lost their shape a little but otherwise they
are still intact and complete. In all I have about 8 of
them. At one point back in the '90s I considered splitting them up and storing them in friends freezers in the event I had a power failure at my place, but how do you ask someone to store something in their freezer for years that they can never touch nor eat. I'd seriously love to know if anyone in the world has these besides me. Maybe I should put one on eBay with a $10,000 price tag and see what happens - imagine if it sold! Would have to be "pick up only" LOL . |
Items not photographed include a stack of posters, mobiles, lots of kids toys, lots of T-Shirts, and a heap of other things I couldn't find room to display.
If you want to talk to me about the collection I can be contacted here email@example.com
If you don't think the collection looks very exciting after all the hype I've given it, just remember Han Solo's line from Star Wars "she may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."

The pleura is the smooth, pale yellow transparent membrane that lines the thorax and envelopes the lungs. Its function is to protect and cushion the lungs.
The most common tumors that occur in the pleura are malignant (cancerous) forms of mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos. But sometimes fibrous tumors unrelated to asbestos exposure can develop in the pleura. These can be either malignant or benign (non-cancerous).
Benign fibrous tumors of the pleura are sometimes called solitary fibrous tumors. They make up approximately 78% to 88% of non-mesothelioma tumors of the pleura. Fibrous tumors of the pleura are much less common than mesothelioma tumors of the pleura.
Benign fibrous tumors of the pleura are confined to the surface of the lung, where they start.
These tumors are slightly more prevalent in females than males. Most patients diagnosed with benign fibrous tumors of the pleura are in their 50s and 60s.
The causes of benign fibrous tumors of the pleura are not known. It is known, however, that exposure to asbestos – the primary cause of mesothelioma tumors – does not cause this condition. Smoking, though discouraged, is also not considered a cause of benign tumors of the pleura.
What are the symptoms of benign fibrous tumors of the pleura?
Many patients with benign fibrous tumors of the pleura do not have any symptoms at all, even though these tumors are often very large (up to 40 cm in diameter). Some patients may have these symptoms:
If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself, you should consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
If your doctor thinks you may have a pleural tumor, he or she will obtain a chest X-ray or chest CT scan to check for masses. A needle or surgical biopsy will be done to find out if the tumor is benign or malignant.
Even though fibrous tumors of the pleura are not cancer, surgery is still the recommended treatment. Without surgical removal, the tumors have the potential to become malignant. Your healthcare provider can best suggest a plan of treatment to suit your diagnosis.
The outlook for a patient with benign fibrous tumors of the pleura is excellent with surgical treatment. Only about eight percent recur after surgery, and these are usually successfully treated with follow-up surgery.

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.
Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRaynoWhen it comes to the Minnesota coaching search, there have been some big names thrown out there and some small ones.
The administration, understandably, has gone deep cover and gotten very tight-lipped. That's not surprising considering it has been made clear through other sources that something is happening imminently.
But one of the things that makes this coaching search special is the understanding, by those familiar with Norwood Teague and Mike Ellis, that this administration is beloved by coaches across the nation and so well-networked among such coaches, that a hire outsiders don't think is possible, well, could be.
I do think that Teague and Ellis are capable of landing a "surprise" – a candidate that many think is not attainable.
In light of that sentiment, there is one candidate in particular I have been thinking about: Chris Mack.
I have mentioned Mack here and there along the search and added him in my list of candidates yesterday. But the more I think about him, the better fit and more likely choice I feel he could be.
In the most obvious of ways, Mack doesn't seem likely to leave Xavier, where he currently is the head coach.
After all, Mack is from Ohio, and his wife, Christie, went to school at Dayton. His network and support group runs deep there. And by all accounts, he is happy there. It would have to be a special offer for him to leave.
That said, there are some other intriguing pieces.
Unlike a guy like Alabama coach Anthony Grant, Mack is well-versed in the Midwest, and his recruiting efforts wouldn't have to start from ground zero.
Xavier is Mack's first head coaching job (he was hired in 2009), and so a move up to a Big Ten job could be intriguing.

I'm new to prolog and I'm doing some exercises for practice. So I'm trying to get the sum of the given numbers in a list. I'm trying to use this:
my_last(X, [X]).
my_last(X, [_|L]) :- my_last(X, L).
(from here)
as my guide. So this is my code for getting the sum:
listsum(X, []).
listsum(X, [H|L]):-
X is H + listsum(X, L).
when I compile it, it says
practice.pl:3: evaluable
does not exist
practice.pl:2: Singleton variables:[X]
then when I try listsum(0, [1,2,3]).
it returns false
I still don't understand much about prolog, and list and recursion in prolog.

North Carolina Barn Fire Finally Extinguished
A massive barn fire that started Thursday in Fuquay-Varina was finally extinguished Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters put out the last embers of the fire in the 1800 block of Holland Road near the Wake-Harnett county line at about 4 p.m.
Authorities said the fire started as a controlled burn on a farm, but that flames jumped to two nearby barns and a storage unit filled with more than 10,000 bales of straw.
About 100 firefighters from 20 different fire departments responded to the blaze. At one point, the fire threatened several nearby houses and at least two suffered from fire damage.
On Friday afternoon, small flames were still seen in the rubble, and smoke was still pouring from the area. Crews spread out the contents of the barns and poured water on them in hopes of extinguishing the fire.
The property owner who started the burn received a written citation but will not face charges.

How to Act Around Girls
Four Methods:Be YourselfBe PoliteBe AttentiveBe Respectful
Talking to girls is intimidating to a lot of guys. But there's actually nothing scary about it. By following a few basic steps, you'll be able to have a fun and relaxed conversation with any girl.
Method 1 of 4: Be Yourself
1Be yourself. Also, try to maintain your self confidence. If you adopt an alternate personality to attract girls, you will eventually be weighed down with the feeling that your true self isn't good enough. It may help to develop and improve your social skills, but any girls who don't appreciate you for who you are don't deserve your attention.Ad
2Relax. When you are tense or nervous, you will be more prone to feeling embarrassed if you make some minor mistakes. Staying calm allows you to fully enjoy a girl's company. Be careful not to place all your hopes on a single girl, however; it will only make it more painful if things don't work out. Don't let any prior sour experiences prevent you from seeking opportunities that are available to you.Ad
Method 2 of 4: Be Polite
1Exhibit good manners. Girls love guys who are polite and courteous. Refrain from doing or saying things that many people consider offensive, including swearing and making sexist/racist/etc. jokes or comments. Saying things that you know would probably offend some people isn't a good way to make or keep friends. If you act like a gentleman, girls will be more likely to welcome your company.
2Treat all girls equally nice. You stand a much better chance of making a good overall impression if you treat girls that don't interest you just as nicely as those that do. This doesn't mean that you need to talk to or flirt with every girl, but don't ignore them or treat them dismissively. Don't talk to a girl about other girls' attractiveness; it's distasteful and can degrade the girl's opinion of herself. You generally shouldn't talk about past relationships you've had, or other girls that interest you; it detracts from building a new relationship.Ad
Method 3 of 4: Be Attentive
1Give your full attention when you talk to a girl. Make eye contact, and don't give in to distractions. Listen carefully to what she says, and you may learn a lot about her and discover interests that you have in common.
2Be sensitive to her feelings. If she seems upset about something, don't try to downplay her emotions or dismiss her concerns as being trivial. Sincerely offering sympathy to someone in distress will build trust between you, and it is an effective way to form friendship or gain a girl's interest.
3Make her laugh. Engaging in lighthearted banter will make it easier to talk about more serious things, allowing you and a girl to learn about each other without feeling as awkward about it. A good sense of humor is one of the most attractive qualities a guy can have, and it will help override any possible negative preconceptions a girl may have about you. Remember, however, that being funny isn't appropriate in every situation, and your style of humor won't necessarily impress every girl.
4Make her feel special. After making a good first impression, if you hope to pursue a more earnest relationship with a particular girl, you should elevate your efforts to treat her well and express your romantic interest. Offer sincere compliments, flirt, and watch for an opportune moment to ask her out.Ad
Method 4 of 4: Be Respectful
1Limit your physical contact by the state of your relationship.
- Acquaintances — A handshake when introducing yourself is probably a reasonable limit for a first meeting. You can also subtly brush your hand against her hand or arm
- Casual Friends or Prospective Dates — You could try something like touching her hair or playfully poking her in the side and asking if she is ticklish. This is generally considered flirting, and if a girl doesn't appreciate your advances, it's best to apologize and refrain from making similar contact.
- Good Friends — It is generally acceptable to give friendly hugs to girls that you know fairly well, even if you aren't a couple. Just be sensitive to the girl's feelings about it; pressuring her to hug you will make her uncomfortable.
- Boyfriend/Girlfriend — When you've grown closer, you can hold her hand or wrap your arm around her shoulders or waist when you're walking together. With her consent, you can also kiss her.
- Note: Obtaining a girl's consent before hugging or kissing (or other contact) does not necessarily require a verbal confirmation. Pay attention to her body language to ensure that she isn't looking apprehensive or trying to pull away, and don't try to surprise her unless you already know she won't mind.If she's trying to pull away, let her go!!!

Test Your Knowledge
- Make the first move if you can, girls feel weird when they have to ask a guy out.
- Don't panic if you do something embarrassing. A lot of girls find that really cute, especially if you are able to recover with good humor.
- When she's cold, say, "Are you cold?" She'll say, "Yeah, a little." Then you say, "You wanna borrow my jacket?" Whatever the answer, she'll like the offering.
- Don't be disgusting around a girl (E.G; Farting, burping).
- Be especially careful in breaking the touch barrier with shy girls. If you know she's shy, take it slow. Very slow.
- Make slightly flirty comments once in a while, and see how she reacts. If she is accepting and likes it, or feels awkward and denies it that can be a sign - but remember; no means no.
- Watch her body language; if she's shifting her weight a lot and not making eye contact, she's probably uncomfortable. It may be the conversation topic, how close you are standing or sitting next to her, or something else. Respect her feelings, and change the subject or step back, if necessary, depending on what is bothering her.
- Don't be afraid to flirt with her. Don't be a pushover and don't use nervous body language.
- It's important to be confident, but not over-confident! She will think you are trying too hard!
- It's okay to tease her a little, but generally not about her appearance. If you're not sure she'll take your teasing the right way, try something else instead. Just watch your timing and try not to be too goofy, or you may make a fool of yourself.
- Don't ask her out by text. Her friends could be reading her texts and the moment could turn really awkward. Also, it makes a girl feel as if you aren't "man" enough to go out with. If you already did this, it's either friend zone or you're on her weirdo list.
- If no commitment has been established between you and a girl, don't get jealous of her flirting with other guys. She can't be considered disloyal if you haven't even started dating her yet. Also note that such flirting does not by itself indicate that you can't form an exclusive relationship with her at some point, but acting jealous can make it more difficult to cultivate that relationship.
- Girls like it when you're forward but not in a creepy way. Smile at her in a way that's clear, friendly, and/or playful. If you feel compelled to be totally honest, you can offer a sincere compliment. For example, you could say she has beautiful eyes or a beautiful smile. But, only say things like that if you want it to be obvious that you intend on moving beyond flirting. Select something good that is reserved for her only; it will make her feel wonderfully special, admired, and beautiful.
- Make an effort to be friends with her friends.
- If you have a good relationship with a sister close to your age, that can be a model for how to move and speak around girls.
- If you're the shy type, don't worry. Have a friend by your side if all else fails.
- On some girls (the ones that like sports) treat her like one of the guys but do not go full on like fake punching act.
- Try to get to know her better. You can be friends, but just don't be too clingy. She'll be freaked out.
- If you are still friends with a girl, don't put your arm around her. There are chances you may creep her out.
- If you see her being bullied then stand up for her and don't be afraid to take a hit, also don't show off on how strong you are when you are defending her, if you do then she will probably lose interest even if she appreciates it.
- Don't forget chivalry! She will appreciate your efforts to be a gentleman! (i.e. holding doors).
- Don't try too hard. She'll notice.
- Don't say mean things about her friends or about the things she likes, such as her taste in music..
- Be especially careful of what you say about her appearance. Don't ever tell her that she looks bad. And try to restrict using words like "hot" or "sexy." Even if said in a joking fashion, things like this can make a girl feel very self-conscious, whether you are referring to her or to someone else.
- Many girls like it when you can't take your eyes off them, but not when you're staring at their boobs. Although there are some girls that may enjoy such attention, you won't offend anyone by focusing on her face instead. Do not ogle her.
- Don't be too casual in sharing the details of your interactions with a girl. You should limit the disclosure to really close friends whom you can trust to not tell others. If you treat your relationship with a girl as a form of entertainment for your friends, you will undermine the potential for a deeper and lasting connection with her.
- Don't focus too much on one girl if she isn't enjoying the extra attention. She may get annoyed, and it will likely hurt your relationship.
- Don't send girls mixed signals or they'll get confused about whether you like them or not. Be subtle, but give her some hints so that she can figure out that you like her.
- Don't say perverted things or dirty jokes. It grosses most girls out and they will not think well of you for it. You may be trying to be funny, but it is disgusting and a huge turn-off.
- Don't be shy. If you are, she'll lose interest because she'll think you're not into her.
- If you start feeling sexually aroused, do your best to hide it. But don't be too obvious about it. You don't want to bring any unwanted attention to yourself.
- There is nothing wrong with trying to make her feel special long into a relationship, but trying to kiss up to her, especially within the first few weeks of knowing her, will do more harm than good, and you will be labeled more as a friend who tries to buy her attention than a potential mate.
- Stay away from touching the girl, it will most likely creep her out and break your friendship.

Back-in site was a little tight to get into, but campground manager is very helpful. He trimmed low hanging branches above our RV immediately when asked, is very accommodating, and even offers to help with any problems. Dish reception no problem, Verizon signal adequate, but a little weak on WiFi, no problem with phone. Campground internet works well. Concrete runners and patio on each site. Shade trees are great. The rate is the monthly rate + electric. Quiet, friendly park, well maintained. Only about 15 miles from bay. We camped at Chaparral RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $26.00
We stayed here a month. Park is under new management. Very well maintained and very friendly people. Nice laundry facilities. Excellent Wi-Fi connection. If you need anything, just ask. I would recommend this park. I will definitely be back. We camped at Chaparral RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: December, 2009 - $26.00
This is a rough little park. Very little maintenance has been done here. The sites are very difficult to get into and the pull through was impossible for my 36' trailer. I cannot recommend this park to anyone with a large rig. Beware the low branches. We camped at Chaparral RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: May, 2007 - $13.00
This is a nice little park for someone that is just looking for a place to read, watch TV or surf the net. It is a cheap park but did lack in maintenance, like grass cutting. We were there for a week and never saw anyone outside the office. We camped at Chaparral RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: November, 2006 - $13.00
We stayed here 3 nights. We made the reservations thinking that it was a Coast to Coast park but it was a Good Neighbor Park. 32 sites with 1 pull through. Creeping place! No, we would never stay here again! Appears to be many permanent residents. After arrival, not once did we see anyone managing the park. Using the directions to the park, watch for low hanging limbs on the city street approaching this place. Surprisingly, this place had free WiFi. We camped at Chaparral RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Noodle Incident
The Noodle Incident is something from the past that is sometimes referred to but never explained, with the implication that it's just too ludicrous for words, and the reality that any explanation would fall short of audience expectations. Questions about it are often met with "You Don't Want To Know
" Persisting is a good way to press a character's Berserk Button.
Commonly introduced to the audience by having characters react to some fantastic and improbable event with "Oh no, not again." The key to this trope is that the audience is left to imagine what happened based on vague hints or clues, with funny (or scary) results.
Named for an incident referenced by the characters of Calvin and Hobbes, where the author admitted he decided against ever stating what happened, as he figured nothing he could come up with would be as outrageous as what the readers thought happened.
Don't be surprised if it was caused by a trickster-type character. If there's a noodle incident and a trickster happens to be in the main cast, the trickster is almost always responsible for it, or at least blamed for it.
Compare with Cryptic Background Reference, In-Joke, Noodle Implements, Second-Hand Storytelling, Take Our Word for It, That Mysterious Thing, & What Did I Do Last Night?. Reminiscing about a Noodle Incident by the people involved can result in Lost In Transmission for an outsider. Compare and contrast Offscreen Moment of Awesome, where the off-screen incident would have been better on-screen. See also Cow Tools. Enough such incidents create a character who has Seen It All. If a Noodle Incident is essential to solving a mystery, it's a Riddle for the Ages. If it results in the person/people involved being banished from wherever it happened, they've become Persona Non Grata. See also Great Offscreen War. Contrast Oblivious Mockery, where characters talk about an event they don't know happened but the viewer does (most of the time).
In Spy Fiction or similar tropes, the Noodle Incident is usually referred to by a place's name. "This is just like Budapest!" "Remember Helsinki?" "God, it's Rio de Janeiro all over again." Sometimes this is elaborated upon, but usually not.
To be clear, this isn't simply a reference to something that is never shown "on-screen". A Noodle Incident is marked by a lack of information, shown or told. Bob saying to Alice, "Remember that time we robbed a bank?" does not qualify, whereas "Remember the bank?" does.
Naturally, this trope is a good source of Fanfic Fuel.

I don t remember when I ve ever just stopped to live in the present, to hold on to the seconds I m in.

Now her secret life has been exposed, and her tormentor can t hurt her anymore. Yet, some are still haunted by that night. The bruises may have faded, but scars and fears remain. How will she reclaim her life when she s barely breathing?"

THR's Writer Roundtable: 6 Top Scribes Talk Standing Up to Clint Eastwood, Dealing with Rewrites and Being Fired by Your Wife
THR: Wait -- do you all agree film is the one American indigenous art form?
Black: Jazz, man.
Almodovar: It's a difficult question. It was not invented here. But the major industry is the American industry.
THR: He said art form. Not industry.
Sorkin: It's a big business too, but we still make very good movies here. So do a lot of other people, but I think we have every right to claim this as ours.
THR: Chaplin, Hitchcock, Erich von Stroheim, the French new wave. There are very strong arguments against this being the American indigenous art form.
Almodovar: Now I don't think it's an art form here, though there are a lot of exceptions.
Sorkin: But excuse me, you named some people who were not born in America but came here to make movies. Charlie Chaplin did not stay in England and make movies, and neither did Alfred Hitchcock.
Roth: But don't you think the key word is "indigenous"? Obviously, it's an art form all over the world. But indigenous is what made it unique to America.
THR: Lance, did you ever want to do anything other than write? You've had success very young.
Black: Oh, yeah. I was in theater for a long time. I grew up in theater as an outlet, because I was so shy. My mom thought, "Oh, maybe we'll break him of his shyness problem and put him in theater." Instead, I met a bunch of fabulous gay people and it took me in a different direction.
STORY: Dustin Lance Black Debuts Prop. 8 Play in New York
THR: Were you offended when then-Oscars producer Brett Ratner said, "rehearsal's for fags"?
Black: Absolutely. Of course. I think a lot of people were, not just gay people. But I also read the letter he put out [to apologize] and I found it incredibly moving. So, I'll go on record: I absolutely forgave him. I hope he does the things he said he's doing in that letter. Those are learning experiences. We all mess up.
