| 3000 | Article | mickyarber | Great 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. | Oct 23, 2015 |  | |
| 2659 | Article | Vaporman87 | I do recall that I liked watching Dennis The Menace (the cartoon) and I also liked reading the comic strip/panel. But I think my most potent memory of Dennis comes from his affiliation with Dairy Queen. Long after Dennis' fame peaked, DQ kept him in our consciousness with their use of his likeness. I still can't get the intro song out of my head either. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lyhRKgRQeho" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I am curious to know what you thought about the old TV show, and the movies that came later? | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2664 | Article | kidcoffee | I'm still kicking myself for not including his work with Dairy Queen. I hang my head in shame. As for his original black and white show, I confess I didn't see it until I was much much older. I liked it, but I am not sure if ten year old me would have. As for the movies, they were pretty abysmal if I recall correctly, but again they came out near the tail end of my obsession so I was pretty over Dennis by that point. His cartoon was really what pushed me over the edge. Of course re-watching it now I am reminded just how terribly corny it was. At the time however I gobbled it up. | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2665 | Article | PeZZ! | you have all 78 half hour episodes fully recorded on vhs tapes? if so then that is awesome! | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2666 | Article | kidcoffee | I did. Each meticulously labeled with hand drawn covers. Sadly though when I went off to College my parents purged 99% of my collection including all of my vhs, MOTU figures, Thundercats, GI Joe, and eventually my Transformers. To say I was angry would be a vast understatement, but not much I can do about it now. I do hope someday though I may be able to find a few episodes on vhs in the wild. We'll see. | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2668 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's what's really aggravating about growing up. Your mom and dad just start tossing/selling stuff with no regard. In my case, I made the mistake of initiating the sale of much of my childhood collection as a teenager. Idiot! | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2670 | Article | kidcoffee | That's horrible, but I've been there. In college I somehow managed to get my hands on a mint on card original Lando Calrissian action figure I wound up underselling for beer money. I am still kicking myself and if time travel ever becomes a reality I am so going back to kick my own butt. | Menace Mania | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2662 | Article | Vaporman87 | This was an interesting list with lots of curious choices. I think the Halloween season lends itself to all sorts of different films that, even though they may not be "Halloween" in nature, produce the desired effect. I can see each of these doing just that. A handful of these actually have scenes that make an appearance in this year's RetroDaze Halloween Special. So you have definitely picked some highly regarded Halloween fare here. | Halloween Movie Countdown | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2667 | Article | onipar | I agree with Vaporman, some interesting choices here. For instance, The Goonies was a huge surprise, though I do understand its inclusion. You also hit upon more than a few of my personal favs, and ones I watch every year as well. There are a couple here that I've never seen and plan to check out. Thanks! | Halloween Movie Countdown | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2694 | Article | echidna64 | Excellent article and I love the inclusion of the Mary Kate and Ashley movie, totally underrated gem! | Halloween Movie Countdown | Sep 21, 2015 | |
