One of the biggest things I miss about when my kids were young is how they would excitedly greet and hug me at the door when I came home from work. Now its like this:

If my art isn’t your jam and you want to support us we’ve set up a honeyfund at the recommendation friends. (Also with this URL you’ll always remember how to pronounce our last name 😅 ) www.honeyfund.com/site/TwiceAs...

Well, summer is a wrap so that means onto Christmas season!

The next time we need to give a gift to an annoying kid they are getting this. Maybe I will throw in a red crayon if I am feeling nice that day.

I love when Halloween dips into other categories like hand soap.

I am going to hang onto these beautiful low humidity 64 degree summer nights for as long as I can.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Perfect night to take them outside. Highly recommend.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
These are pretty rad. The glow in the dark works really well.

Adorable zombie plush. Look at his cute little brains seeping out!

Hands down my favorite scene from Endgame was the Hulk Monster Truck one.

We called it the wasted time trip. Just felt like a waste of our money and time.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Very similar timeframe for our many park visits and I have to say our worst visit was July 2024. Too much time spent on lines and no opportunities to maximize your time in the parks. Low chances of being able to ride something twice. Compare that to just 2019 when we were able to do so much more.

It has an intense flavor. Might work? I have no idea. Just wasn’t for me. My kids hated it.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Blech. The Strawberries and Cream Fruity Pebbles are an overly sweetened artificial flavored mess. Going to stick to the original.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Back to back rare Madballs posts! This time is the Argentina exclusive Madballs Kalkers Transfers by Cromy. These were very similar to Presto Magix.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Its also great because now I feel a little bit less special especially because this one is in better condition than mine.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Not even 24 hours after posting this and another one pops up for sale, what are the odds?!. I definitely somehow put this into the universe.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I guess mad balls also still works if thats the case
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Thats part of the fun of Madballs, new things pop up all the time that I had no idea existed!
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I have something fun and extremely rare to share tonight, a vintage Slobulus Madballs kite reel. This is so rare that I am not even sure how many exist so you wont find many images, if any, of them online. Added bonus of creating your own Madballs Pinnochio fan faction.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel the same way.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I think thats the closest one to me. Like 40-45 minutes away. Might be one in NY state closer to me though
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
That was pretty much my experience too.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Are they more known for breakfast than dinner? I legit have no idea.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok I am looking at this nifty map and its definitely not a thing for at least half of the states.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Curious, is there one in like every town like McDonalds? The closest one to me is about 45 minutes away and it was built within the last 10 years.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Cracker Barrel was never a thing here in North Jersey. In fact I have only been to one once like 20 years ago. Are any other parts of the US like this because it seems like some areas are deeply connected to it.

Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
That makes the most sense. Gotta make those sales asap
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I am not sure why this is a thing but please stop putting items on your crotch while sitting in your car and making that your eBay listing photo. I really don’t want it that badly. Im good.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I went to one like 11 years ago and it was nothing like it once was. The bread and meats were completely different. Nowhere near as good as when it was in its prime.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Whenever I am watching a sunset or sunrise with my kids it feels like this. I obviously have to add the “one day Simba this will all be yours” part because I am a dad and its dad law to do so.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I have one of those too just in case the anxiety doesn’t get me
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
After 40 you no longer need an alarm clock. Your anxiety will wake you up with plenty of time to spare.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
A few of them but I don’t know anyone who still goes.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Ours is still abandoned. No one wants the space
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
In certain areas yes but eventually removed it at some point
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Did it smell like wet moldy carpet because thats what ours smelled like
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Its pretty wild how CVS has its own unique scent. They all smell the exact same way somehow.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
You have to really vet them and find a reliable one who knows what they are doing. So many horror stories out there but I have a very good one who knows what they are doing and has helped me drastically

This is pretty much my perfect weather forecast for summer.

I think we can now pinpoint this as the moment we lost it.

I spent most of my life not knowing I needed a windsock and now somehow can’t live without one.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
The less you know the better. Its also near impossible to explain because they don’t even know what it means. They just say it. They just say 6-7. Its horrible. Its so dumb.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Oh god, not another dumb viral thing our kids are saying. If you know you know.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Its wild to think that they are still using planes for advertising to tourists at the shore. Hope that never stops being a thing. Part of the experience.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
My kids once asked me why two men were kissing each other on the television and I told them because they loved each other. They simply smiled, said oh ok and accepted it instantly and moved on. Its that easy Snoop.

Keep that spirit alive Shawn. Make every day of it count.

I don’t think there is a worse feeling then the walk back into the office after a nice long vacation.

The last time I consumed cheese was at a TGIF when I was 19. I ordered mozzarella sticks and immediately felt ill and had hives all over. That was unfortunately the end. Never was able to eat dairy from that point on. I feel the pain.

If an older couple starts chatting with you during vacation, they are going to let you know how they voted politically within three minutes.

It was a nightmare in there. Kids were just dumping the build a figure pieces on the ground with zero care.

I saw a LEGO kiosk at the airport and thought the same but then saw at least 3 people go up to it and buy something. Sometimes you just need that fix I guess
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I didn’t buy any souvenirs but I did pick up this super cute LEGO Jack-O-Lantern car from the LEGO store in Disney Springs. I pray for the sanity and well being of those poor store employees as it is pure chaos in that store. The store manager had that “where did I go wrong in life” look on his face

I have the post vacation blues but this My Pet Monster photoshoot from this eBay listing I stumbled upon is giving me life.

Not terrible per se but just completely unnecessary.

Was able to watch 3 movies on this vacation, a rare occasion for me. Thunderbolts- Loved it Fantastic Four - Also loved Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - This was a movie I watched.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I got all of you this image of Jessica Rabbit dressed up as a slutty sailer girl as a souvenir from our cruise. You know you wanted it but were too shy to bring it to the register and have that awkward conversation with the cashier about it.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
Thank you all for sending the pigeons back with the urgent messages. For those of you who did not need to send me anything you can keep the pigeons as your pet.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, look out your window Jason. Bitey McGrumpy should be waiting out there for you. He is actually quite friendly despite his name. I tried to give them all unique personalities with their names but it backfired.

I messed up. Lol

I once said that Spirit Halloween was only ok Will. They are after me now.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I won’t be able to access my phone for 5 days so I am sending each of you a trained carrier pigeon to send back to me in case anything important happens. They will each be carrying detailed care instructions and will only respond by the names I chose for them. Oh and they are your pets now too.

Well its a deal next time we are in town!
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Same! As you know I have a few food restrictions and vacations have generally been a great chance for me to get meals I can’t get at home.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I do! Had it tonight. It was good! We had an insane latin themed meal last night that I will be dreaming about for a long time
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
I am honestly happy to have a lively thread! We are currently at New Smyrna beach FL, the supposed shark bite capital of the world. We leave tomorrow for the next phase of vacation.

I’ve lost all control of this thread. This is now everyone else’s thread. Take good care of it.

My first foray into social media was 2018 when I joined Twitter. Before that it was mostly forums and comments sections. Changed my name a bunch of times and my original Discus account was nuked at some point so hard to remember my earlier online history.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
I posted this roughly 9 years ago on the Madballs eBay Dig post from Dino Drac. It wasn’t too much longer after those Mondo balls came out when I fell in love with Madballs all over again. Just wish I took more advantage of those prices back then before the price explosion.

I can only imagine the legal department saying that can’t clear it. They can’t be that clueless to miss that one.

Exactly this. I feel like I am doing people a favor sometimes by deleting it.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social)
If you only knew how many posts I labor over just to delete them right before posting.
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Not yet but I have seen people posting about them. They are super bouncy from what I hear
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
They used some toxic paint that erodes the foam. Its basically eating itself
Peppers Ghost (@peppersghost.bsky.social) reply parent
Bad factory run. Everything from that factory eroded over time. They used multiple facilities to produce them.
