If you were to stumble across a veritable treasure trove of vintage, mint-condition toys from your youth... would you sell it all off to make a quick buck? Plus: It would be inappropriate to Hite all over Mike Cioffi.

There are FIVE, 50 gallon plastic tubs of Marc's childhood in the shop out back. One tub is nothing but old computers and electronics!

Oh and he has to get past the alarm system and then have the key to the shop in order to sell the stuff. Good luck with that!

So Marc and I both share a father that abused us with accusations of homosexuality. Mine still does, for some reason getting married (to a WOMAN) and having many children with her has made no difference in him calling me a quimby.

The cartoon "The Real Ghost Busters" is clearly an offspring of the two Ghost Busters movies, otherwise Ramis and Ackroyd would not have been given writer credits for EVERY episode/ IMDB does not list it as so, but this WILL BE an "original characters written by" credit.

Also the character names from the cartoon are exactly the same as the cartoon characters. They may have gone a different way in the character design, that may be for other legal/licensing reasons but is not an indication that it was not an official spin off of the movie.

Allow me to 'splain the Ghostbusters thing. There was an unrelated live-action TV show that predated the movie called "The Ghost Busters" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ghost_Busters). The makers of the 1984 movie purchased the rights to the name, but then Filmation tried to cash in on the success of the movie by making an animated version of the unrelated TV show of the same name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmation's_Ghostbusters). Not only that, because they were first to making an animated series titled "Ghostbusters", that meant that DiC, et al., had to call their show "The REAL Ghostbusters". I never had an opinion of Filmation before I researched this, but now I have to say: what a bunch of douchebags.
