Star Trek TMP: The Happy Meal

[Saga]

The marketing tie-in that I always wanted to see but never did was the Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows one.

If you sent Kraft some cash, you could get a replica "marshmelon" dispenser from ST5:

Not sure why either... but I have two of em.

Hmmmmm....Here in California, we can buy the Happy Meal toys individually, without having to actually purchase a Happy Meal.

I was an adult (I've since reconsidered) when the marshmelon dispenser came out, and I wanted it. Briefly. Then I realized it'd look nothing like the one in the movie and I'd be disappointed. I've always wanted high-quality replicas at Happy Meal prices. My collection, therefore, is rather meager.

Here it depends on the store manager's policy and the popularity of the toy.

It was a throwaway gag, and you are getting all bent out of shape over it as if I intentionally went out of my way to attack you. You really need to not take things personally.

No, you are the one getting defensive about my post that I was just responding that I never fell asleep. And I was a kid...oh wait...No I wasn't I was 12.

You responded in a quite defensive manner with all caps, bolding, and a generally aggressive tone (with a to boot). Not helping matters is your continued defensive response with the same attitude.

And since when has 12 not been considered still being a kid? It is far from being an adult. You realize that's not a bad thing, right?

A funny barb is a funny barb.

Don't bother. To Mike, it seems the internet is a serious place for serious business.




What was this thread about again?

The McDonalds connection seemed appropriate at the time - some friends and I went to see the movie at the Jenifer II theater in Bethesda, across the street from the Mazza Gallerie shopping mall, and one of the guys left the theatre at the beginning of the big V'Ger fly-through, went across to the Mickey-Dee's at Mazza, bought a Big Mac and consumed half of it on the way back without missing the end of the sequence. So we called the fly-through the "Big Mac scene" after that.

The "unmarried adult" just perpetuates the stereotype that we've all been living in our parents basements for the last forty years masturbating to Star Trek.

I was shocked and relieved to discover recently, after many years of using the Internet, that there's better stuff than Star Trek online for masturbation purposes.

Surely, you jest.

Don't call me Shirley.

That joke doesn't work in print, not at all.

Other stuff maybe. But better?
