| 1922 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, I really enjoyed reading this. I also hated reading this. I'll confess to you why. I went through a short period of chubbiness as well, though I don't think anyone would say I was "fat". Again, it was short and I have little memory of it being an issue to me. But I made the fact that two of my closest friends were "fat" a very big issue... and I despise my young self for it. Yes, my friends knew I cared about them, and enjoyed their friendship. But I seemingly made it as difficult as possible for them to like me sometimes. This fact is evidenced by the comics, videos, and audio recordings I created of them or with them. Every time I listen to a recording made with these friends, I cringe and shake my head in disgust at the insults I threw their way. As if they weren't getting enough of it in school, here was someone who was SUPPOSED to be their friend giving them the worst of it. And it didn't stop with them. Bert himself is inspired by another "fat" kid who was not actually my friend. I invented all new words for their "fatness". Blobulous, blobuelull, globey, lard horg, etc. If there was one thing I wish I could go back and do over, it would be my insulting words and pictures. The sad thing is that, now that I am old enough to understand how awful I was, I have no way to apologize. One of the two friends passed away from diabetes. The other left his wife and two kids and headed out west (out of the blue) and never returned. I can't help but wonder if anything I did changed their lives for the worse. I can't bear that thought... it will haunt me forever. | Feb 09, 2015 |  | |

| 1535 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, I miss '88 McDonald's. I want my food served in styrofoam. I my large drink to be the size of a medium (and sometimes small) by today's standards. I want grease, trans fats (okay, maybe not really), shameless marketing to children, McDonaldland characters... I want it all. I'm just wishing I could have brought back some of those flocked Berenstain Bears toys and a few Changeables without causing a paradox in space/time. Work that out, will you good doctor? | Timewarp: McDonald's 1988 | Nov 28, 2014 | |

| 3554 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, I can feel the disappointment of your grandpa's gift from here. LOL. Thankfully your dad came through and really helped life make sense again, even in the midst of all the awkward proceedings. Great story sir! | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 1563 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, everybody wants a piece of Santa. Do they just hate how jolly he is? LOL | Christmas: Alone & Kickin' It | Dec 03, 2014 | |
| 3392 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, China Town sounds like an amazing place. So vibrant, full of culture, and full of things that would have made a young Vaporman87 flip out. My question is... did you ever run across any Mogwai in your visits there? | China Town | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3461 | Article | kidcoffee | Man this brings me back. I totally had those wrist racers too. Loved mine to death. As for the confederate flag I had no idea there was any stigma attached to it at all as a kid. Heck I used to think it made the regular flag seem boring. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 17, 2016 | |
