Three more...

68. If you've ever reached an almost orgasmic level of excitment when you just KNEW that the five lions were about to unite to form Voltron and you almost sort of climaxed when you heard Lance say "And i'll form...the head!"

69. Ditto the above reaction at the realization that they were about to fire the 'Wave Motion Gun' on StarBlazers.

70. You've ever made a Transformer out of paper (used to do that all the time and made some pretty damn fine one's, too), AND I named them as well. :)

Ah, Transformers, we used to bring those to school and trade them like crack in the schoolyard...those were the days. :)

That's what Richie Sambora is singing now that Heather Locklear is seeking a divorce from him.

No mention of Top-Sider "boat shoes"?

Docksiders Huh? guilty as charged. I went through so many pairs of those since I didnt wear any socks.


IZOD Shirt, Chino pants ( pegged at the bottom ) Doc Siders with no socks. add on top of that a baracuda Jacket. Yes I was a little preppy growing up living in Hanover ( a little suburb south of Boston ) that was the norm

Back in 87 a freind and I got into a fight over a Transformer trade gone bad, he tagged me (another 80's term) in my eye and I popped him in the stomach over a freakin' Constructicon LOL! It's funny now, but it wasn't too funny then. ;)

We were cool again the next day.

BTW, I was mistaken, it was Kieth who formed Voltrons head, not Lance.

Another one...


You think the original cast members of Saturday Night Live included Joe Piscopo and Victoria Jackson.

When I was a kid, I made a decent income growing rat tails. You see, my grandmother hated them and would always pay me a couple of bucks to cut it off. After I collected the cash, I'd go right back to growing a new one...

BTW, I wonder: whatever happened to Trapper Keepers?

Maybe kids wised up to the fact that they were plastic-and-cardboard pieces of CRAP :) I must have gone through 3 or 4 of them before giving up on them completely.
