Shawn likes The Super Dictionary




Today it's time to talk
about the Super Dictionary.


The Super Dictionary was published in 1978 when I was 10 years old and I remember
that I thought it was the greatest reference book ever!


Before I got this book I'm not sure how I managed
to know the definitions of words.


But with the superheroes help - I believe
that my vocabulary improved dramatically.


In fact, I think you should go
to eBay and bid on a copy for yourself - do it right now!

Shawn likes The Super Friends Lunchbox


















Super Friends would have to be my all time favorite TV show of all time - yes, even beating out Fame! ;-)

As you'll see - time and time again, I love group shots and this is a superhero lovers dream! 16 (16!) characters all packed on a metal lunch box with a hot purple plastic handle. Things suddenly make so much more sense about me and my future life.


Although I love this so much it always bothered me / worried me that on my thermos Batman's face is green. Wasn't my thermos doing it's job?


I could also never decide if, on the back of the lunchbox, Flash was trying to hit Batgirl - or hold her hand.


Although this wasn't my first lunch box (that honor goes to the 2-in-1 lunchbox of Inch High Private Eye / Goober and the Ghost Chasers), this was my favorite lunchbox by far!


When I first saw it in the store I wanted it so much, but couldn't get it. I can still remember the Saturday when Mom came home from work and said that she stopped at the store (probably Hills or K-Mart) and got it for me.


I was so happy to have it that I hugged it tight and then ran around the outside of the house, still hugging it and singing that I love it. What a dippy little kid I was, LOL - okay - still am!
