I remember watching He-Man and She-Rah when I was a little girl. My dad
would watch it with my sister and I. I also remember "Chilly-Willy Penguin
all frozen through and through, my nose is hot, my feet are cold, ah ee
kerchoo! " I remember the original Power Rangers too. I didn't think the
show would last after the first group of them, but look at them today,
corny as ever. I liked the nerdy guy Billy on the show. Sad how I still
remember his name. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

Don't be embarassed, MRD, I remember Billy too. He rocked. The other guys
were just stuck up creeps. That red dude (jason?) with his muscles and zack
with his dance moves... Billy was normal.
But that show's -still- going?!?!
Oh, and chilly willy! I had a glass with him on it... Still have the shards
of it, too, after I broke it... Chilly Willy rocked. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

Not that I know of... Be nice if they did...
OH MAN! I just thought of something! A theater devoted to old cartoons,
with each screen showing a different cartoon! 24/7! Man, that'd be
badass... And I'm sure it'd be tax deductible, what with the cultural
value...
'Course, there wouldn't be no damn scooby doo in my theater, sorry... I
hate that show. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

Don't have any addresses to give you, but a google image search for Amy Jo
Johnson should show you more than you got to see on the show. ____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.

I hated the power rangers, I couldn't STAND it. I think I was still young
enough to be "into it" (I think I had some friends that were) but I thought
it was the stupidest thing EVER. And yes, it's still going, it went from
power rangers, then they did something and they were NEW power rangers,
then there was a NEW NEW kind of power rangers, with dumber costumes and
stupider plot lines *sigh* I can't even begin to imagine the evolved form
of the show today.
Oh, and on scooby doo in the theater, I have to say that they got shaggy
down PERFECT, but Daphne wasn't enough of a redhead, her outfit was cheap
and ridiculous looking (come on, PINK viny go go boots and a one piece ugly
lavendar dress? She wore a purple miniskirt and purple pointy shoes
*pish*) Thelma wasn't dorky enough and HER outfit was ridiculous and cheap
looking..it made me sad.
Oh and anyone remember that "babies" phase that cartoons went through? You
had muppets, then muppet BABIES, scooby doo, then a PUP named scooby doo
with all the characters as little kids, Loony Toons, then TINY toons...on
and on. I hated that.
I also happened to be at my grandmas and watching the Devil MTV when
michael jackson's hair caught on fire. That was so awesome.

Oh and if you wanna hear something kind of funny, I remember when I was
working at a college radio station with the music director, we got in an
artist photo, bio and a sampler CD from one ms. Brittany Spears and we were
like "who the fuck is this?" and had a good laugh over it. I think we
gave it to someone, and they were like "who's this?" and we said "Oh, just
some pop chick who's manager is trying to get her air time."
If only we knew *sigh*

Wow Bettie! I remember the baby phase of cartoons, it also annoyed the
hell out of me. I remember saying "This is the most horrible garbage
ever." Unfortunatley it was the only thing on and I had a baby sitter who
let the television watch us. Yes, I agree
Ironboots, the other guys truly were annoying. Give me a nerd over any of
them any day! Though I did have a crush on the guy with the long hair,
yumm for me back then, now I have another long haired guy who is nerdy in
mind.
The Power Rangers went from the original, to some ninja garbage after their
movie, then to some time force, and to some outer space shit at one time,
but two seperate shows. *Shudder* ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

Garbage Pail Kids? I don't remember them...
But I didn't mind the Muppet Babies and I loved the Tiny Toons.. Maybe it
was because I was their target age at the time or something... Who knows.
All I know is that Tiny Toons was a damn funny show. I mean, Plucky Duck
pleads his heart out to be taken with Hampton to a theme park for the
summer, endures a grueling road trip, and once he gets there, the Hampton's
only go on the monorail ride before leaving because "They don't want to do
it all the first time."
That show rocked. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

*raises hand* I remember Garbage Pail Kids. They were "Anti-Cabbage Patch
Kids." In fact Merry_Widow I know of someone who is trying to collect them
all. She usally finds a good supply on ebay. As for me legos are always a
good nostalgia trip. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"

Oh man my sister had a whole crapload of those that she kept hidden from my
mother, and did the shit ever hit the fan when she DID find them. She had
the whole series, and I throw it in her face to this day that she threw out
$800 today's worth of cards. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

oh man I just remembered....anyone else have sticker books and trade
stickers? I had a HUGE book of stickers and me and my sisters and friends
would trade them obsessively, and for a while you could even order a
sticker set that came with markers so you could color them in yourself.
We'd sit in her room listening to guns and roses and madonna, eat those
jumbo flavored chapsticks and trade stickers *sigh*
Oh, and hypercolors. Eegads, hypercolors. I had hypercolor everything.
Even moonboot looking snowboots that had stars that would change colors in
the cold. My mom took them away several times during the summer because
she'd keep mysteriously finding them in the freezer. I thought it was the
coolest thing in the world and hey, that's what freezers in the summer are
for right? Making your winter boots change color in august! ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

I still wear my moonboots that I have owned since I was 14 every time it
snows. I don't even think they make them anymore, but I have found nothing
better for keeping your toes toasty in inclement weather. And I love how
they make me look all hip, hop and happening.

I need to bring my legos over to my apartment...
I remember making scenes with off shore oil rigs and highrises and then
having my Godzilla figure tear them apart.
Speaking of building thingies. Anybody else play with Constructs? Or
their predicessor, the Erecotr Set? ____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.

Yeah man, erector sets were bomb... Except I could never create anything
decent with them... It all ended up flopping around or not fitting quite
right... Oui, I got so frustrated... I must have stripped a hundred threads
on a hundred nuts...
But I hoarded the pulleys... 'cause everyone knows that pulleys are
magical... *glee*
I had more luck wtih legos... They were easy to make... ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

Oh god, the sticker books. I had almsot completely forgotten about those. I
still have a couple of those books around at my grandmothers house or
something. I used to be soooo fanatic about stickers. I still have these
giant rabbit stickers in one of my moms nursey medical books. I put it
there so it wouldn't get crinkled before I could out it in one fo my books.
I always loved stickers with sparkley stuff, or, better yet, scratch and
sniff. Oh yeah. I remember the stickers. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

FURRY STICKERS!!
I would make my mum buy me shit loads of normal stickers so I could trade
them in for furry stickers. Furry stickers were the coolest of the cool.
You were no-one if you didn't have furry stickers! I plastered my bedroom
in them - I had a heart attack the other day cause my dad's moving house
and he threw out my bedside table with my best furry stickers on. *sniff* ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |
