Oh man Tom Laughlin movies. I watched The Born Losers once and it has aged horribly on top of being a bad film in it's own right. It's about a biker gang that comes to town and rapes women and only Tom Laughlin can come in and save the day with his questionable martial arts skills. It's kind of a bizarro Easy Rider.

I was looking for random stuff on Archive.org and discovered that they have HUNDREDS of issues of Fangoria, starting with issue #1: https://archive.org/search.php?query=fangoria I was more of a fan if its sister publication Gore Zone when I was a kid (still have the first six issues), but this is awesome!  They also have a bunch of issues of Starlog in case anyone wants to go searching for cringe-worthy sci-fi nerdiness.

Something different:        Oh man, I wanted that Jodie Foster's Army deck with Reagan in the crosshairs so bad when I was 10. Alas, my family was too poor to spend $100 on a skateboard (deck, trucks, bearings, wheels), and I was too lazy to figure out a way to make that sort of cash, so I never did get one. Oh well. It's still a badass graphic, and JFA rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsCZWRBRwHg

That said, I have yet to see modern custom van that doesn't look awful and soulless. And not the endearing kind of awful, just plain awful.

We had a van conversion when I was a kid. it had a kitchen, bathroom, dinette that made into a bed, and an overhead slideout where I slept. We camped all over the place with that.

I've always loved the CB language, its cant, if you will. I know that there's no reason for something like that to develop nowadays with internet slang for voip (where a lot of the framing language, alerts for people entering/exiting channels, checking for reception, etc. is handled by the software itself), and that a lot of the lines that really flowed came from Hollywood scriptwriters more than actual road rats, but I always kinda wished hackers and serious netheads (I am intentionally dating my slang here) talked in a similar manner.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:my dad left behind a bunch of VAN WORLD magazines and one of the issues went into "the best sound system" or something like that. i'll see if i can dig it up at home. so i'm having trouble finding the issue itself but i took a scan of the cover ages ago and when i shared it with friends i did happen to summarize the "Ultimate Stereo System" mentioned on same cover  "The Ultimate Stereo System incorporates a Roadstar 2500 AM/FM/~cassette deck~ (at somewhere between $150-250 1978 dollars), to feed a set of Laser Acoustics components including the A-200 amp (with new "Bass Boost" technology), Double Five front speakers, and the Series E three-way rear speaker set. Total system cost: ~$1000 in parts, or supposedly about $3400 in today dollars." and here's a few other scans i took from around the same time:

Heavy Metal magazine is the greatest accompaniment to any other 1970s/1980s subculture project. It would look at home in a sex van or being read at the skate park! O.K. not sure if ninjas would look right reading it but maybe I picked up like 50 back issues of Heavy Metal at the Gen-Con Auction about a decade ago because nobody else in the audience seemed to know what it was. I paid like $1/each on average, a deal at five times the price! Plus it had the H.P. Lovecraft issue from 1977 before most anyone started caring about him and that issue unironically rules Oh anyway I yearn for more wizard vans

I do think the first Cthulhu plushie probably dates to about 2003 or something based on my constant search for Lovecraft things suddenly getting much easier this millennium.
