Top 10 Favorite He-Man Characters

By
When I was a kid, I loved He-Man. The cartoon, the action figures, and the phrase "By the power of Grayskull" were all a big part of my day. Here are my Top 10 favorite He-Man characters. 

 Now I'm not counting the main characters here, like He-Man, Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, or the lovely, lovely Teela... ahem, so um, just the secondary-type characters and such. Here we go:

1. Moss Man


 • His action figure was sticky and it smelled like shit. When you're a kid, that's a good thing.

2. Mer-Man


 • If you didn't like Mer-Man when we were growing up, we probably didn't hang out much.

3. Two-Bad


 • The action figure was completely indestructible. Two-Bad is a bad-ass.

4. Stinkor


 • His special power was smelling so bad it could actually maim someone. I'm all in.

5. Man-E-Faces
• One of the coolest characters ever; He could be a human, a robot, or a demon. "His strongest persona, Man-E-Monster, is also his weakest, because as a monster he can be controlled by Beast Man." Heavy...

6. Modulok


 • Bar-none, the best action figure out of our entire childhood toy collection. Look at this thing!!

7. Leech

8. Spikor


 • His skin is covered in spikes and he has a trident for a left arm. 'Nuff said.

9. Kobra Khan


 • He has an awesome name and he looks cool. He's in.

10. Beast-Man


 • I chose Beast-Man solely so he wouldn't break every bone in my body. The guy has a huge red mane, I don't want to mess with him.

Honorable Mention ...

Fisto


 • This guy almost made the list based on his awesome name alone. Well, that, and the fact that his right hand is actually a giant metal fist.

Tri-Clops


 • Has three eyes and can see in all directions. Paranoid much?

Top 10 Baseball Card Designs of the 1980's

By
The 1980s represented a high point for the baseball card industry, both in terms of mainstream popularity and in terms of card design. Many of the most popular and recognizable card designs of all-time were produced during this decade. Below are my Top 10 baseball card designs of the '80s, based on overall attractiveness, creativity and/or innovation, and my own personal preferences. Card backs are not weighed as much in these rankings, but I like to read the backs of baseball cards, so bonus points are given to good design there as well.  So without further ado... 10. 1989 Donruss  The '89 Donruss set is easily distinguishable for the multi-colored borders at the top and bottom of the cards. This gradient effect (which Donruss debuted in 1988) would be emulated many times by many companies in the decades that followed. I also like the way Donruss utilized the space on the back of the cards. A maximum of five seasons worth of stats are displayed along w...

Nate Hates Hot Coffee

By
I’m sure I’ll catch all kinds of guff and/or flak for saying this, but here goes: I hate hot coffee. But you know what I love ? Warm coffee. Same thing with hot chocolate. Hot chocolate: Bad. Warm chocolate: Best thing ever. Hot coffee is too damn hot. It’s like sticking a branding iron in your mouth. You need a NASA-designed thermos with inch-thick styrofoam walls just to hold it, yet I’m supposed to drink this stuff? What the heck is the point of pouring a cup of coffee if I can’t drink it for two hours? Can’t they figure out a way to serve it at room temperature so I can drink it right away? And how is it that every time I take a sip to see if it’s cooled off enough, it’s still too hot? Doesn’t matter how long I wait. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Ninety minutes. It’s always still too hot. Every. Single. Time. People are always trying to sell me on hot coffee: “ Hot coffee smells soooo good! ” Yeah, well so does a lilac bouquet, but I don’t want to drink it. “ Hot coff...

Nate's Notebook: How I would try to make baseball safer

By
Although it's a given that baseball players are going to get hurt, there are some ways that Major League Baseball could make the game less hazardous for it's athletes. Here are a few practical ideas to help make the game safer without changing the way it's played. 1. Foam rubber outfield walls. Why are the outfield walls in major league baseball parks covered with padding the thickness of an oven mitt? In some spots there is no padding at all. Wrigley Field literally has a brick wall out there. Players get hurt crashing into these walls all the time. Earlier this season, Yankees OF Jacoby Ellsbury received a sprained neck and a concussion slamming into a wall. He made the catch, but landed on the DL. Clearly, the "warning track" is not enough of a deterrent. Outfield walls are bad for your health. Photo: USA Today My suggestion: 3-foot-thick foam rubber outfield walls. This would prevent countless serious injuries every year, and it wouldn'...
