2448	Article	mickyarber	Such a fun article! This one brings back so many memories. And you're right, your level of school supply directly affected your social standing. Parents never understood that though. To them a folder was a folder. But not to us kids. A plain green folder was surely no where near as cool as a GI Joe folder. You could be kicked out of your friend circle for that kind of social snafu. Once upon a time, all of my friends had new Trapper Keepers, while I showed up with a baby blue colored knock off. That was a tough few months of that school year. As for the lunch boxes, the metal ones most definitely were superior to their plastic cousins. But at our school, I don't remember what grade, it became cooler to carry your lunch in a paper bag like the high school guys that it did to sport a plastic lunch box like the 1st graders. So many memories associated with this article. You really picked a great topic to write about. Now when I take my kids back to school shopping this weekend, I'll have this article in mind and remember what it's like to have the off brand Trapper Keeper, and try not to let myself be "that" parent.

1033	Article	MissM	Such a fun article! I loved Dr. Pepper gum! It was so good. I am just having a blast looking at all these older foods. Really wonderful pictures and a very fun article. And Vaporman, you are so lucky to have McPizza near you! I feel like that was all a myth! lol	Yesterdays 1: Foods Long Gone	Mar 06, 2014
99	Video	Vaporman87	Such a fun dynamic between those two.	All in the Family clip	Dec 28, 2012
444	Article	Vaporman87	Such a fun read! I could fill up an article of my own with my various "mostly legal" hijinks. I was not a bad kid either, but we did some things now and then that were probably not nice. :) I think you should make it your mission to get on top of your old school house and see if you can find that ball. THAT would be something I would want video of. Kind of like when Geraldo opened Al Capone's safe. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! C'mon everyone... in unison! Thanks for this shakin!	MINOR TROUBLE	Feb 25, 2013
4736	Article	Vaporman87	Such a great ad. I love seeing on TV every year. Sort of like the Campbell's Soup commercial with the snowman melting into a kid.	Hershey's Kisses Christmas Bells Commercial	Dec 19, 2018
3136	Article	Vaporman87	Such a great article, and a great subject for one. It's crazy to think that, even with the catering to smokers going on in the 80's, it's nothing compared to the way smoking was treated in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. Smoking was just cool and no big health issue then. By the 80's, we were pretty well caught up on the dangers of smoking. Yet it still held a firm grip on the market. Comparing that to today, there has been a definite progression. And thank goodness for that! No more smoke-filled restaurants and bowling alleys. No more need to ask the guy in front of you to put please put out his cig. Yes, smoking is pretty frowned upon by today's society... and I am glad of that. That isn't to say that smoking doesn't still affect us though. Especially here in hillybilly central, smoking is a big thing. I go into the gas station every morning and I am almost guaranteed to be standing behind somebody buying their daily dose of carcinogenic sticks. We may not SEE it as much, but the addictions are still ever present.	Smoking In the 80's	Dec 01, 2015
3055	Article	onipar	Such a great article! I actually missed the whole n64 craze (as well as wrestling). I stopped playing video games altogether after the Genesis, and really didn't dip my toes back in until Xbox360/PS3. The funny thing is, I currently have several N64 systems and most of those wrestling games sitting around my place right now. :-)	A Look Back at the Nintendo 64 Wrestling Games	Oct 30, 2015
2513	Article	onipar	Such a great article! It's funny too because I just ordered the 5-pack of NES games here on RD, and one of the games I chose was Little Nemo. I don't think I've ever played the game before though, now I'm really looking forward to it.	Little Nemo	Aug 13, 2015
352	Article	Vaporman87	Such a great list! I think you have done a remarkable job capturing the whole range of styles of classic 80's vehicles. I love that you inlcuded the burnt up station wagon from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and Lane Myer's Camaro. I would only add 3 to this list, probably only as honorable mentions; "Rubber Duck's" Mack from "Convoy", the ghostly diesel truck from "Duel", and the tank from... well... "Tank". Thank so much Old School for presenting this list to us. Such a great read! And for those who have not already, I recommend you stop by his blog as linked to in the article. There is SO much good retro stuff there to chew on!	Top 30 Cars & Trucks from 80s Movies & TV	Feb 18, 2013
4761	Article	Vaporman87	Such a heartfelt and difficult to read second part. The cruelty of kids never ceased to amaze me. However, I think in some ways bullying was actually worse when we were young. It was highly unlikely you could do ANYTHING to make it stop. Trying to only made things worse, as you found out. Nowadays with all the attention that bullying receives, the act itself is almost taboo. Naturally that doesn’t stop it from happening, and with the advent of cyber bullying, the opportunities to bully have increased significantly... but it seems that it isn’t so much that bullying is worse, but instead the ability of kids to deal with it has been extremely hampered. Looking forward to part three!	Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 2	Dec 25, 2018
