Only thing I ever bought from that damn scholastic catalog

Holy shit! I had one of those as a kid. I lost it shortly after buying it, though. The wind literally blew it out of my hands, across the field, and gone, before I could get to it.

Devine intervention, maybe?

I remember buying some book solely for the pendant necklace that came with it. I wore it every day and made sure everyone could see it because I thought it looked cool and edgy.

I wouldn't say it was a highlight, but it was a pleasant enough diversion for me to remember

I remember buying a book only because it came with a little stuffed dog that looks like the main character in the book. I didn't even read the book and don't remember what it was even called, but I remember I carried the little stuffed dog everywhere with me and pretended to feed it every lunch time.

I remember buying a book just to get the plastic flip phone that came with it. Fuck if I remember what the book was about but I wanted the plastic phone because it was as close as I was going to get to an actual phone

I actually remember getting gud enough to finally draw this anime school-girl without massively fucking up and I placed the drawing on the corner of my desk with my hands folded hoping someone would notice and comment on it. I sadly do not have that drawing (at least I don't think I do. I might.)

one of the Captain Underpants books came with a "hyponotism" ring. Supposedly you'd wear it on your finger, and then when you pointed it at someone, he would do what you commanded of him. It had the little black swirly symbol like pic related as a "stone."

The thing is, my fellow classmates decided to have some fun by playing along, so for at least a full week I thought it was actually working when they ACTUALLY decided to go along with my orders.

Good times.

I was expecting this to go bad really fast. Good thing you didn't sperg out with it and do something you'd later regret.

I don't remember what I tried to do with it and supposedly neither does anyone else, since I was never reminded of it until right now, with this thread.

I have plenty of regrettable memories from school and I'm glad none of them are related to a superhero who wears nothing but tighty whities.

>>25831526
did anyone comment on it?

I used to draw me and my friends as our runescape characters with the fancy weapons and armor we were way too noobish to get.

>>25831617
One random kid looked at it and said "You drew that? Cool." and it made the 10 minutes of patient waiting worth it.

>>25831059
Thats honestly a nice story. I would think a person that fed a toy dog in school was cool. I would have been your robot friend.

I bought a book about roman history that came free with this game(pic related). Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. played it so much that my dad took it away from me. I later caught him playing it. its been almost a decade since he took it away he still fucking plays it every day. I told you it was a good game dad

That's the pic in the book, but it basically looked like that except B&W and with a ton of faded erased lines where I redrew it a bunch of times.

I bought that at 4 grade and thought it was the worst how to book I ever read. The artist was shit tier and never used it again. I ended up using shonen jump as a guide.
At 19 I got in connections with a VP of DC Comics for an art/writing/ business position back in 2012. I came up with a business plan to take over Marvels market share. This was right around the time the new 52 launched and the avengers came out. The nigga wanted me to email him the business plan which consisted of movie ideas, comic lines and everything. I ended up getting stoned and told told him off. Deep down I had a feeling he would've taken the ideas and duped me for nothing. Nigga should have had some faith for 15 minutes of his time.

SHIEEEEEET SON
Every book fair I'd buy these and always asked when the new entries came out. Someone mocked me for "reading girl books" but I used to think they were okay.

That and Goosebumps books.

Wish I had done it way more, but I was afraid of getting caught and what my parents would think. I kept doing it anyway, though.
