A bizarre, odd, but very cool collection.

I remember well that movie The Atomic Kid starring Mickey Rooney. I watched it as a daytime matinee movie sometime around 1963, when I stayed home from school one day with a flu or whatever. Only about 10 years old, I was fascinated, and disturbed, by the scenes in that movie of what happened to the fake town when the atom bomb test went off (real footage from a real test). The movie was actually kind of light hearted if I recall correctly, but those scenes were pretty disturbing.

I'm pretty sure I have a DVD copy of The Atomic Kid at home (it might have been donated in last year's movie clean-out). Always good to watch, especially when eating peanut butter sandwiches.

The memories of that flick actually conjure up thoughts of bean soup for me. But peanut butter would be a good substitute.
