I heed the calls of my limited readership. I am a man of the people. You spoke and I listened. To break up the monotony of my posts on nostalgia, music, education, and various other technology things that interest me, I bring you this.
Voltron is 25 years old.
Yes, little Michael Gallagher would rush home after St. Dominic’s School in Youngstown, Ohio, and sit in front of the TV watching G.I. Joe, Voltron, and Robotech. And then I would run outside with my siblings and try to form a lion by standing on each other. In our Catholic school clothes, much to my mother’s chagrin.

I NEED that t-shirt. Just so you know. ^^
Is it not the most brilliant t-shirt ever? I used to have a Voltron sleepin bag as a kid that I used all the time, even in my regular bed. This reminds me of that. I think I might be ordering it for myself.
[…] looking for (if usage statistics are any indication) either “Strangers” by The Kinks, Voltron t-shirts (have I really posted on five times in five years on Voltron? egad), or He-Man textual analysis, I […]
[…] Reader: this is Part 3, the final part. I wanted to take the time to say that I appreciate your patience in this journey. I promise to post something frivolous and/or awesome in the near future. I have already received a request to go back to my blogging roots and publish more Voltron. […]
So this morning I typed “voltron” into Google images…as you do. As I am scrolling through the images, I find an excellent specimen… And when I select it, a familiar name appears “michaelseangallagher.” What a small digital world!
