2599ArticlemickyarberNever knew his story. It's kind of sad actually. But as for an article, I like the idea...seeing where some familiar faces are these days. I hate to think of them as washed up though. You never know what may be right around the corner for some folks. Sep 04, 2015View
2635ArticlemickyarberOne of my favorite bits of retro programming I own, is a vhs of Superbowl 20 from January of '86. They recorded the pre-game, game, half-time, and all the commercials! I also have a small collection of home recordings of WWF Saturday Night's Main Event which also still feature all the commercials..Zzzv C VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2637ArticlemickyarberI have boxes and boxes full of vhs that I recorded in the 80's and 90's. I'll look through them sometime soon and see what I have that you may be interested in.VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 11, 2015View

2741ArticlemickyarberGreat article. It brings back a lot of memories. My grandmother lived on a street that was full of older folks who all gave out candy. At the end of the street was a house like you mentioned at the end. It was a younger couple, and from quite a distance you could see the eery golw of orange and black lights, and all the kids you would run into had different theories about what would be found there. It was always the last stop of the trick or treating, and the anticipation built until you finally stopped by there. It was always the best candy haul, and best enviroment on that night. Look forward to reading more of your memories.The Unsung Heroes of HalloweenOct 02, 2015View
2763ArticlemickyarberLove this article. I remember when my Dad showed me how I could fix my GI Joes. He took me to our local hardware store and got me a little screw driver and a small bag of O-rings. I set up a little area in my room just for working on Joes. It wasn't long before I had my broken ones fixed, and then was onto making custom figures. Such good memories of those time. Really fun article.Yo JoeOct 03, 2015View
2995ArticlemickyarberI flipped through every page of the catalog before writing this, and wanted to include so much more. The yearly Wish Book was definitely the "Amazon" of my generations youth. There was always so much stuff packed into that thing, you could get just about anything your heart desired from Sears. I'll probably do another one of these featuring a later year...most likely the year Super Nintendo came out. Put a few years between this one and the next one to get a look at how much toys were changing in that period.The OTHER Good Thing About OctoberOct 23, 2015View
3000ArticlemickyarberGreat article. I was into all of them except for the roller blades. Had a huge collection of POGs, and when my friends and I played, it was for keeps. I remember it was usually three of us, and we each would put in 2 pogs each round. Whatever you won, you kept. I had the fanny pack, but that was around 7th grade. Everyone wore them to school for some reason. Slap bracelets made their way through our school in around the 5th grade probably. I can remember spending a whole week's allowance on nothing but slap bracelets one time. What a waste. Laser pointers were huge for me, mainly because they were popular when I was into buying and selling goods...mostly stuff you would find at a flea market. I'd pick up these pointers that came with 10 changeable tips for $4. I turn around and sell them for $10. It may be hard to believe, but I could sell anywhere from 25-50 of those things a week for several months in the midst of their popularity! And that was just dealing them out of my trunk. I made a lot of money with laser pointers. And you know fanny packs were cool since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is sporting one in that photo. This article may could have used a sixth item....Hackey Sack. It was every bit the fad these others were too. Really fun read that brought back a lot of memories.5 Fads of the 90'sOct 23, 2015View
3005ArticlemickyarberI vaguely recall having that Masters of the Universe game. I'm gonna have to do a little research and see if I can put all the pieces to the memory back together. I recently put up a couple of articles on Dark Tower and Quija board on my site. Give them a look if ya like!

3015ArticlemickyarberI absolutely agree about having to listen for what the kids want. Fortunately (or unfortunately), my kids tell me exactly what they want for Christmas.The OTHER Good Thing About OctoberOct 24, 2015View
