Saturdays at Superflea
This began as a place to post finds from the sprawling Superflea Market in Edmonton, a veritable Mecca of kitsch. It has become a paean to found footage of foul-mouthed public access preachers and signed photos of YTV PJs. Tags include #superflea, #nostalgia, #found_footage. Curated by Ben Gelinas

From Wikipedia: Ping-Pong Club (行け!稲中卓球部 Ike! Inachū takkyū-bu, lit. Go! Inahō Middle School Ping-Pong Club) is a Japanese manga by Minoru Furuya about the members of a middle school ping-pong club. It was adapted as an anime television series in 1995.
When I was in school, my friends and I, bored one night, rented the show on VHS at random. Our young minds were sufficiently blown.
What follows is a series of screencaps from the show’s intro. They are safe for work. The video, perhaps, is not.

The Bots Master was a 90s cartoon. The title song was a rap. Portions were in 3D. Smartly-named characters included: Street Boyzz Jammerzz and Toolzz, as well as Watzon, a doctor bot known for his dry wit. Courtesy @Corath
