It’s another golden bra. I don’t understand a word of the page (it’s written in Korean). I hope they said something about the apparent “lack of freedom” the model is suffering. Cool for a Princess Leia costume, though.

Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘N Wrestling [wiki] was a Saturday morning cartoon that aired on CBS from 1985 to 1987. The show, produced and animated by DiC Entertainment and AKOM, featured WWF stars including Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper, André the Giant, The Junk Yard Dog, Tito Santana, The Iron Sheik, and others. Hogan was the leader of the faces, or good guys, and Piper was the leader of the heels, or bad guys. Even after Piper had turned face and Andre turned heel in the WWF, the show continued to air in reruns on CBS. The show is currently available on VHS and has yet to be released on DVD.

Let me get this out of the way in the beginning: I don’t know Tony Arcabascio (one of the guys from Alife) or what his deal is, but the guy comes off like the biggest badass in history with the “how to” guides he wrote for Arkitip magazine. The book is a collection of all those articles, boasting titles like “Make A Slim Jim” (the kind you break into cars with), “Avoid Assault Charges,” “Torch A Car,” “Turn A Man Into A Boy,” “Make The Girls Love You,” “Turn $1 Into $20,” etc. This is grand entertainment and kinda inspirational. True or not. It’s well written, and I have to admit that I’m really pumped up to get out there after reading a couple of these. 64 pages, 13 articles, comes in a neat heavy matte slipcase.

Hang Time [wiki] was an American teen sitcom that aired from 1995-2000. The teen-oriented program aired on Saturday mornings on NBC as part of the network’s TNBC morning block.
Similar to Saved by the Bell: The New Class, the show dealt with many of the issues that everyday teens are faced. During the series’ run, the show addressed issues of dating, drug and alcohol use, racism, a character dealing with HIV discrimination and other school-related issues.
Unlike other teen-oriented shows, Hang Time also dealt with the pressures the Deering teammates felt due to all of their games coming down to buzzer beaters.
