1105Articlekstrom22In preparation for Jurassic World I should sit down and watch all three JP films back to back, then I can judge them all as an "adult." I'm looking forward to how they continue the story. I still have my Lost World pillow-case, but the pajamas I got that Christmas are a bit too small for me now.  May 30, 2014View
1104ArticleFulton4VI remember thinking that Lost World was more fun than the original to me. But then also that it the third was good too. I liked seeing spinosaurus fighting a trex, it was a great scene. Im excited for the new one too.A Lost World BirthdayMay 28, 2014View
1103ArticleDoctorRyanGood article, I really enjoyed how you made up your own storylines with your toys as I also did quite a bit. Of course I always pretended that I myself was He-Man as I was quite small when I was little. Your story brought those memories back to me. So thank you, great writing.The Evolution of FunMay 28, 2014View
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
