Even funnier... I was a non-SAG
extra back when I lived in Vancouver,
happened to walk through a shot...
they kept it and paid me.

Have no idea if it ever made it into
production or not, but did get to meet
the cast and crew.

[BloodredProject2402]

[Angel Slayer]

[Angel Slayer]

it was a game. and they were cardboard, except the slammers.
(sorry to double post... ran out of time.)

[VoldtaEngler]

angelslayer: go ahead
pogs fun fact: they originated in hawaii. they started out as milk caps and eventually people wanted to trade them and play games..no idea why they are called pogs though :P

[HeadlessBill]

[vinylkitty]

My cousin used to put Ozzy tapes in his sister's Teddy Ruxpin for our amusment! It was hilarious! I'm only 31, but I have an impeccable memory. I remember seeing the Bay City Rollers and the Partridge family on TV Saturday on morning.

Hahaha.... I saw Bay City Rollers play
at the skating rink... umm... now if I
could remember the name of the place
now.

But nothing beats KISS Meets the Phantom
of the Park

[HempKnight]

Where's Mirren when you need her?

I think it was in Warren...
remember seeing Black Flag,
PIL, Iggy Pop and a shitload
of other shows there as well.

[Bondage Clown]

[Mr Karl]

Hey there is nothing quite like slamming in an eight track cassette

wonder twin powers activate! form of a ...wine bottle, form of .... gasoline

I miss taping pennies to the record player arm to keep it from skipping

[Mr Karl]

and I'd like to see the bionic woman again

[the_darkness_calls]

dude, i sooooo loved my teddy ruxpin as a kid, and i had a skip-it too, and a couple of popples, i named my basketball one dunk. and eureka's castle, man... i started watching it when i was prolly a little too old for it, but it was still a pretty cool show.

my younger sister was into those pog things, but i wasn't. oh, and she also had these peeper pals, which were stuffed dog things whose eyes opened and lit up when you squeezed them, anyone else remember those?

[HempKnight]

Hahaha... hell yeah... did you ever do
that 'trick' to stop your 8 track tape
from lagging?... pull a length of it out
from the center then yank it on one
side so the reel would suck it back in.
I had a '78 Ford LTD that had a stock
Panasonic pull out 8 track deck that
would play in a docking station in the
house as well... somewhere I still have
B.O.C. - Agents of Fortune and a whole
slew of 8 tracks.

And changing out a stylus could always
prove to be a challenge.. unless you had
one of the cheap turntables with the plastic
snap in one... or even better the stylus
that flipped over... diamond on the 33 1/3
side and sapphire on the 78 side.

[Mr Karl]

yeah, I remember those styls's, it's all coming back now, some of them were screwed in, or am I just dreaming that memory?

hey anyone have a 'color organ'?

[HempKnight]

Yes, you are correct... some just
popped in and out while others had
that damned screw....

And don't know about anyone else's
organ... but I don't like it when it turns
colours....

but yeah... I did have one... ordered
and built it from a Heathkit catalouge,
was great fun for those times when
the acid kicked in.

[Angel Slayer]

i can't believe i left these out, but i was also really crazy about biker mice, captain power, carzillas, and does anyone remember those metal collectible dudes, kind of like hot wheels, but really bizzarre and on skateboards? they were pretty big around 1990.

[keiko]

pound puppies, popples, glo-worms, fraggle rock, my buddy/kid sister, slip 'n' slide, big wheels, mr rogers neighborhood, house at pooh corner, dumbo's circus, and those soap crayons that drew colours on the wall and well, yourself, but it was soap, also the bath foam stuff.

[hewhoisagod]

I remember these dolls called Inhumanoids, they were pretty fucking cool. I had sticker books too, mostly for He-Man (by the way, his name is Musculo in France). I still have Castle Aris from Voltron. I was a big Robotech fan as a kid. and M.A.S.K. by the way, are the DVDs for MASK available in the states? I found them here.

[hewhoisagod]

I also remember, BattleBeasts, SilverHawks (I think Monstarr was a fucking cool baddie), DinoRiders, Dinosaucers, and Denver: The Last Dinosaur
