The POP-EXPOSE ‘BRACKET BUSTED’!

March 22, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Story courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor Train! Join in the discussion after the JUMP! Every year since the late 1990’s I’ve filled out a bracket for the NCAA basketball tournament. Most years by this point my bracket is busted. Think of the odds of guessing a perfect bracket. The first week is always been my favorite and I’m sure millions of other people as well. This is the week where a number 1 seed has never lost, but have been very close. There have been a handful of number 2 seeds…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Humans’ by Train!

March 15, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffHumans, The POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

Story by Serpentorslair Member Train! Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! There are 2 general ideas of how mankind was created. One being created by God, and the other evolving over millions of years into what we see today. People come in many different shapes, colors, and forms, but when you break it all down the body pretty much operates the same. We have all the same organs, and weather you are black, white, purple, or green the skin and hair serve the same function. Then there is the…

Review Courtesy of Serpentorslair Staffer Will Joines! Join in the Discussion HERE! SH Figuarts is known for their high end super poseable figures. Mostly focusing on licenses from Japan. Phantom Stranger has shown us all many reviews of the Kamen Rider figures and Super Sentai lines, I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and review these lovely beasties. Most of us are only familiar with the following characters through their americanized release in the 1980’s as M.U.S.C.L.E. men. However these were originally released in Japan as Kinnikuman…

THE POP-EXPOSE ‘Pure Maple Syrup’!

March 8, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffPure Maple Syrup, The POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘TRAIN‘! Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! This is the time of year New Yorkers are starting to produce Maple Syrup. A tradition that dates back to the Native Americans. Syrup is produced by boiling down the sweet sap of the Sugar Maple tree. It takes roughly 50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. From the tapping of the tree to the table there is quite a process to produce syrup, so the price tag gets pretty steep if you want…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘SPACE’ By Train!

March 1, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

Story by Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Join in the discussion after the JUMP! Space has been around well forever I suppose. It is quite a mystery and perhaps the one thing that has no beginning or ending. Since the beginning of man space has fascinated mankind. Our ancient ancestors didn’t even know that they were obsessed with space. Every night they looked up at the stars and the moon. Every day they looked up at the sun. The sun has been worshipped for thousands of years and the stars have been…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Political Correctness and the Swastika’!

February 28, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Jump to the Discussion Here! You may ask yourself, when did the term, ‘Political Correctness‘ infect our society. I had to stop and think about it myself, because when I was growing up, even when I was in High School, nobody ever cared about being politically correct when making a statement, sharing a picture, or anything else for that matter. So I thought to myself, I want to know when and how we were set on this current path that we are on and who is responsible for it. What…

THE POP EXPOSE – My ‘STAR WARS’ Experience!

February 22, 2015April 8, 2022 Serpentorslair StaffStar Wars, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Story By Mitchell Smith Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! The Original Star Wars was released to theaters back in 1977. George Lucas who’s movie was almost canned, but it was kept alive by George and he fought to get it released in theaters. The movie became pretty much an instant hit and there have been a huge fallowing since 1977 to today. I forget the percentage but there is a great number of people in the world who list their religion as Jedi. Never the less Lucas fought…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Nintendo’!

February 15, 2015 Serpentorslair Staffnintendo, The POP-EXPOSE, Train, Video Games0 comment

Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Nintendo There have been several video games systems over the past few decades, but the one that I have enjoyed the most is Nintendo. NES that was developed and released in the 1980s with Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Zelda, and Mike Tyson’s Punch-out was very popular. In the 1990 the Super NES was released with great games such as Mario, Mortal Kombat, and the Madden Football games were just a few great games released. Over the years there have been some great hand…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Valentines Day’ by Train!

February 8, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, Train, Valentines Day0 comment

This week’s article courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day has been around for about as long as anyone can remember, roots trace back the 400 AD and are associated with the Romans. Modern day Valentine’s mainly is aimed toward Women, but I think we all can remember exchanging cards in grad school. Valentine’s Day can be hectic or blissful for guys these days. You may be in a new relationship, in no relationship, or perhaps you are in a long time standing relationship. It can be real…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘SUPER BOWL SUNDAY’ by Train!

February 1, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffSuper Bowl Sunday, The POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

Today’s article by Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Share your thoughts after the JUMP! Super Bowl Sunday Back in 1920 there was a push to create a professional Football league that was Superior to all the others. The APFA was formed and in 1922 changed its name to the NFL. The next few decades would see great games, great controversy, and great changes. Very few leagues were able to compete against the NFL until the 1960’s AFL. The AFL maid a good run but the leagues decided to merge and just be…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Has GI Joe become a collectors item’?

January 25, 2015 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Serpentorslair, The POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

(Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor TRAIN) Has GI Joe become a collectors item? I’m guessing 1963 a group of guys were sitting around talking about action figures. 12 inch solders to be exact. I’m sure there was some sort of conversation on weather a boy would play with a doll or not. The rebuttal may have very well been, they’re not dolls they are action figures. There also might have been posed the question, do we want to have our children playing with guns and knives? Or maybe that question…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Gods helping hand at the Crossroads’

January 19, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

(Piece Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train’) Share your thoughts after the JUMP! Gods helping hand at the Crossroads I wasn’t sure what to write about this week. I was trying to think of something fresh and I came up with nothing. Then I remembered a somewhat remarkable experience last weekend. Friday night I felt a bit off. Wondering to myself if I was heading in the right direction, at a bit of a crossroad if you will. My head swirled with thoughts of parenting, work, am a being a…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Why Hollywood Will Never Learn’!

January 18, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE0 comment

It was patently evident this week that Hollywood is never going to learn from people. What exactly does that mean you ask. Well let me explain. There are a group of powerful, money hoarding elite, who control what films get made and what films do not get made. These are also the same people who make the choices about which films receive Oscar Nominations and which don’t. What these same people do not get, is that people are eclectic. Real people, who do not put on phony facades to impress…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘Why World War II Has Stayed So Marketable’!

January 12, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, Train, World War II0 comment

(Story courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘) Why has WWII stayed so marketable? WWII (enough said I hope), the conflict between the Axis which was mainly the German, Italian, and Japanese forces who sought to genocide all races other than their own, and pretty much the rest of the world was allied forces who gave there lives to get to Hitler and stop a made man. Hitler was one of the cruelest leaders of modern History and the Japanese Army was relentless in the Pacific to try and keep control of…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘My First Hot Wheels Playset’ Story by Mitchell Smith!

January 11, 2015April 9, 2022 Serpentorslair StaffHot Wheels, Hot Wheels Service Center, Mattel, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

The year was 1983, and as a child I had come to expect there would not be a lot of toys at Christmas, but this year was different. 1983 was going to be the year I got what was one of the best Christmas gifts of my entire childhood, the Hot Wheels Service Center Playset. Outside of building your own massive Hot Wheels Orange Track, I feel that too this day, this is the most cool playset that Mattel has produced for Hot Wheels. I know as a kid, I spent…
