1102ArticlepikachuloverI'm not sure if they had year round school in other states. I know they did in Fresno where my uncle was a teacher. He taught at a year round school where they got six week breaks. Summer... What SummerMay 27, 2014View
1101ArticleVaporman87That's such an odd set up for a school schedule. I've never heard of such a thing. Typically, our schedule was traditional, as you mentioned. We would be back in school by late August, and out around the first of June, with all the typical breaks in between. The final two summers of my life were a bit different though, in that I went from attending high school to attending a college preparatory program known as Upward Bound. While I hated not being able to be home for such a long period of time, I still made many memories in the program. Summer... What SummerMay 27, 2014View
1100ArticleVaporman87Nothing so wondrous as our childhood toy collections, is there? Like you, I tended to take my figures out of their traditional roles and re-purpose them for my own storylines. I think I have mentioned before that many times my G.I. Joe figures took on new personae in the form of my schoolmates. That happened quite a bit, and usually Baroness was my boyhood crush. LOL I can recall the nice selection of Batman Animated action figures. That was truly a classic show, and one that produced a wealth of characters to draw from. I can also recall the night my friend and I went to watch The Matrix, and then hit up Toys 'R Us for their late night introduction of the Phantom Menace toys. There was so much hope for those movies then. What a let down. >:[ I'm looking forward to Part Two kstrom! The Evolution of FunMay 27, 2014View
1099ArticleDoctorRyanYeah, that's what got me burned out on a lot of everything. Overexposure. Saturday mornings to me were almost as holy as Sundays are to Christians. ThatDudeintheHoodie looks at Disney's One Saturday MorningMay 24, 2014View
1098ArticleFulton4VI liked alot of these shows too and many of them had really good morals in them or at the end. You dont see that much in this time. What Pop Culture Means to MeMay 23, 2014View
1097ArticleVaporman87Great article! I would think that to have your birthday in the depths of Summer must be a grand occasion. You can have your choice of locale (inside or outside... if it's not TOO hot), the days are long, and nobody is suffering seasonal depression. Although I did not feel like The Lost World was a terrible sequel, I wasn't blown away by it either. However, it is very easy to understand why films take on a whole new level of importance and status in the days of our youth. I'm sure there are many films from the 80's that most people would deem "awful" but were so fantastic to me, and likely still are, simply because they affected me in my youth. And you can't fault anyone for that. Thanks kstrom!A Lost World BirthdayMay 23, 2014View
1096ArticleDoctorRyanI have always loved rainy days, even as an adult. Those were my "gaming days" when I would fire up my NES for some 8-bit action. Today it's games like Baldur's Gate and Diablo II. I guess that's another thing I brought from my childhood.Remembering Rainy DaysMay 21, 2014View
1095ArticleVaporman87Yeah. Something is definitely wrong there. Perhaps you should break out a MOTU DVD or catch I Dream of Jeanie on TV Land. LOLWhat Pop Culture Means to MeMay 21, 2014View
1094ArticleDoctorRyanThanks. It's hard to explain sometimes how a bunch of cheesy shows was somehow therapy for me. Of course then again I'm running around on the internet wearing a suit and sunglasses............What Pop Culture Means to MeMay 21, 2014View
1093ArticleVaporman87I love this little article. It warms the heart. Though I did not grow up poor, I was still not exactly a popular kid. I too found that my toys and imagination allowed me to explore situations in life in a way that could uplift me and keep me going. I genuinely feel sad for those among us who cannot (and in some cases have never been capable of) using their imagination to create, inspire, and entertain. I often used my artistic ability to bring a smile to the face of a friend or family member. There was nothing more satisfying than that. And the culture of toys, shows, and movies of my youth motivated and inspired me to not ever stop using that imagination , and to find the good in bad situations. Well said Doc.What Pop Culture Means to MeMay 21, 2014View
