| 2085 | Article | pikachulover | I was always copying something from Kimberly's outfits from Power Rangers. She was the stylish one. | Mar 17, 2015 |  | |
| 2086 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Hoju: The answer appears to be no: "...there was no previous encounters with The Dinosaur Kid before that day, and there hasn't been one since." | The Dinosaur Kid | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2087 | Article | Vaporman87 | You would think that if a student was actively begging to be in one of the other groups, that those in charge would see that said student was deserving of more than just being lumped in with the slackers, trouble makers, etc. in the chorus. Apparently not though. | Apathetic Chorus | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2088 | Article | SegaFanatic | @Hoju @Vaporman No, I have never had any more encounters with the kid, although I'm very curious what he may be doing nowadays in life, I feel like he might work in drama plays or at a museum, and I can't decide why I feel this way. | The Dinosaur Kid | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2089 | Article | Vaporman87 | Well you know... dinosaur... museum... it kind of makes sense. LOL | The Dinosaur Kid | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2090 | Article | pikachulover | I didn't really beg to leave. Once you were in the group you were pretty much stuck in it. | Apathetic Chorus | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2091 | Article | Vaporman87 | This is a really great list, and a hard one to formulate. There were so many great father figures in 80's sitcoms. I would say, I agree with this list with one exception... I believe I would replace Charles with Mr. Drummond, who not only had to teach and raise 3 children on his own, but two of them were black. That equated to a whole lot of opportunities for trouble and he always handled that pressure graciously. Not to mention one of those two black boys was Arnold, who was ALWAYS looking to get into some kind of mess. One who gets very little attention, but I always thought was a really great dad was Michael Hogan (The Hogan Family), who managed to keep a lid on the 3 boys he had and deal with the death of his wife (actually the lead character of the show in the beginning until she was fired after the second season because Valerie Harper was holding out for more money). | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2092 | Article | Vaporman87 | I love, love, LOVE that those wrestling figures are the same sculpts used for the "Dutch" and "Hamato" ninja style figures! LOL I too enjoyed picking out the occasional cheap plastic plaything. Usually it was the result of my mom having to take us to the grocery store and to appease our cries of boredom, she would allow us to choose something from the small, limited toy aisle that was present there. We would also pick up special junk like this at the Fair as well. Whether by winning it, or just carelessly spending our money on it outright. Funny thing is, nowadays, I am buying this exact same stuff for my own kids. It's like they never stopped manufacturing it or changed it in any way. During this past year's Ox Roast (Fourth of July Festival) here in Rutland, I ended up having to buy two sets of those weapon packs (western style) with the cheap weapons. Good stuff. LOL | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2093 | Article | vkimo | That's the thing! The stuff hasn't changed at all! They're milking those plastic forms for all their worth haha | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2094 | Article | Vaporman87 | For me, I look back on the 90's as two parts. The first part being the early 90's (1990 to the end of 1992). This part very much felt (and I still recall it as) like an extension of the 80's. I think that is mainly because I was still in high school during those years. However, I think there is some truth in saying that much of the culture, from music to television to even the words we spoke, remained relevant. I see those years as being ALMOST as golden as the 80's. Everything after 1992 I see as a transition period. Not only for me, but for pop culture in general. A period of transition from the 80's and what they were all about, to the 2000's and what they were all about. These were the years that spawned the internet after all. But even our musical tastes, the advent of computer graphics and their extensive use in film, the cartoons being watched and their focus on nonsensical humor as opposed life lessons, all of this was in a process of change. I don't know that I see that period as having it's own identity as much as I see at as growing pains for popular culture as it would become in the new millennium. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 18, 2015 | |
