"Clearly NOT myyyy eye. See how I am diligently pointing this AWAY from myself?"
The angsty look feels very 50 cal full burst random brush firing last stand momentJudging by my expression, I’d say I was mid pew pew sound effect, serious stuff pew pews.
The scarf man nickname was bestowed on me by my drinking buddies/ workmates from my early twenties.By any chance, does the scarf in that picture have anything to do with your moniker? Like how my brother in law got "Fred" from his always wearing the Fred costume from his favorite western? His name was really James. You wouldn't happen to be the mild mannered alter ego to SUPER scarfman from the picture above?
That is AMAZING! Your sister is either quite used to your antics at that point or was just about to have a Nightmare Before Christmas.This must be Christmas 76 as that's my sister in the photo. The woodpanel behind me has now been styled in another 70s classic "anaglypta wallpaper!"
This is me wearing a Classic Wolfman mask I'm ot sure who made these but it was an Adult mask so had to use a tshirt to pad it out lol.
I used to go into Walls Carnival store every weekend to look at the Universal horror masks back then.

Mine got punctured some how and hard clear sticky stuff oozed out in the summer heat.I remember Stretch! Had so much fun with that toy.
That sounds like a new addition to Toy Story.Mine got punctured some how and hard clear sticky stuff oozed out in the summer heat.
Funny thing was it smelt sticky sweet and yeah being young I picked it..
Tasted like a very thick syrup!
He's still under my parents floorboards as he was leaking so much and didn't know what to do with him so hid him in my what I thought was a secret hidy hole..
This has been nagging at me all morning. I absolutely have a smell memory associated with Stretch and it was KARO SYRUP!!!!Mine got punctured some how and hard clear sticky stuff oozed out in the summer heat.

I was just about to ask about the very recognizable tv stacking when I saw the last bit of text at the bottom. Did you ever do the long stick remote? We had one with a slot in the end for turning the knob.In 1967 I was given this fire truck pedal car. Gonna be honest, I don’t remember it but I bet it would be worth a fortune.

Somewhere round 1970 I got this awesome rocket, a three story ship with an awful lot of astronauts, some sitting, standing. I have looked for one for a few years but have never found one. Several of the sitting astronauts ended up in the Star Trek Bridge model I built a few years later, they were about the right size.

And lastly (My mom didn’t take a lot of Christmas pictures) is me checking out the FJ Star Trek blueprints. 1975. I still have those.

Notice the tv on a tv, the usual 70’s setup when your console tv died and you just used it as a stand for the replacement.
That sounds like a new addition to Toy Story.
I think we over stretched him or it might have dropped on something sharp, I don't think we have Karo Syrup this side of the pond but yeah there was a sweat smell about him..This has been nagging at me all morning. I absolutely have a smell memory associated with Stretch and it was KARO SYRUP!!!!
I don't remember him breaking and I don't remember tasting the goo but there is a very very strong corn syrup memory attached to that image. I wonder if he smelled like that even without breaking?
