I'm trying to find a replacement for a beloved ceramic cat mug that my wife found at a thrift store years ago and shattered recently. I'm not making any headway in translating the label with google lens, and searching "cat mug" on ebay is a fool's endeavor.

Picayune posted:Ohhh, those! They were made by the Japanese dollar-store chain Daiso about ten years ago, although I'm not sure if they still carry them. Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:I found a used one on Ebay Canada: Holy heck, amazing work. Thanks to both of you and everyone else who contributed details too. Picayune, I am going to follow those store leads but I will PM you if they don't pan out.

snailshell posted:There's a goopy, frighteningly zany kids' ghost/supernatural story collection. One of the stories is Dickens' "The Goblins Who Stole A Sexton" and another is about a painter who paints dragons in a mural, but refuses to paint in their eyes because they'll come to life. The illustrations are lavish yet crude, bug-eyed, colorful, three-dimensional, and extremely creepy. I seem to recall it's a slim, oversized hardback. Thanks!!!!!!!!! Do you see your book anywhere here? https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/titlecovers.cgi?78696 The second one sounds like a classical Chinese story ("paint the dragons, dot the eyes") but I am not seeing it as I spot-check the books listed there.

Pac and Cheese posted:got this game in the late 90s/early 2000s in a cd bundle called 'the fabulous 4 pack'. it was a hybrid turn based strategy/fighting game where you and your opponent would place your guys on opposite sides of a grid. you'd each move one character each turn and if you landed on the same square as another it turned into a 2d fighting game, not mortal kombat or street fighter quality but it was an actual fighting game, and whoever won got the square. it had a dark fantasy vibe and you were usually battling over some muddy swamp. and you had a certain amount of gold to buy gear for your characters before a match, and i remember you could just totally load one character up at the expense of all the others and there was a ring slot for every finger so you could give one guy 8 magic rings Was it Dark Legions? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Legions

Seth Pecksniff posted:I swear to God in the 90s there was this show on TV called "My Stepmother is an alien." I know there was a movie in the 80s but that's not what I'm thinking of. I think it was only on for a couple of episodes. Maybe that wasn't the name but I think the premise was that the stepmom was an actual alien or something. I think it was on CBS Was it this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_in_the_Family Found via https://www.thelist.com/1456788/tgif-stars-passed-away/ quote:"Aliens in the Family" was a show about a single dad who remarries, creating a blended family — only the new stepmom is an alien. The show was launched in 1996, and it only lasted a couple of weeks before it was pulled.
