Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor Train! Join in the discussion after the JUMP! Do you like the trip or the destination? This day in age we can have pretty much anything at the tips of our fingers. Whether it be action figures, clothes, food, pretty much everything can be bought on line these days. I have always enjoyed the journey as much and sometimes more then the destination. Finding a figure, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying a venison sandwich, the trip to the end and the people I have…

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…

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…

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…

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…

(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 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 team consisted of a number of great players, but some of the hockey superstars were cut from the team.

(Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘) Christmas. Christmas as most should know was created as the celebration of the birth of Christ. The celebration has been around for some time, traced back as far as 354 AD. Over the years the celebration has morphed and many traditions have changed over the years, but many traditions still remain from what we eat to putting up trees and decorations, and many of the stories have lived on through television and songs that have been song for hundreds of years. Although Christmas has…

Over the past decade Micro brewing has skyrocketed and the variety has grown to a proportion where it might take a lifetime to taste every kind. The brewing process is pretty basic water, a grain, and hopes boil it ferment it and voila you are ready to go. Micro brewers though do some testing or trial and error.
