| 5498 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is no doubt that the mid-80s (into the '90s) saw a plethora of "crazy", "wacky", and "gross" toys. Slime led the way. You had toy sets like Mad Scientist, The Slime Pit, and Creepy Crawlers. Then it spilled over into actual figures and such, like with Sectaurs, Mad Balls, and Boglins. What a time to be a kid! Great to see another article from you. The topics so far have been right down my alley. | Sep 15, 2021 |  | |
| 1488 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is so much about wrestling in the 80's that I could go on about. I was so convinced it was all real, and the drama could make your blood boil. Naturally I was always rooting for Hulk Hogan to win everything. He and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake were two of my favorites. The Undertaker came along some time later and soon became my favorite as well. I loved Roddy Piper. Yeah, he was usually a heel... but he was so good at it that you just had to like him. Macho Man was another favorite of mine. He was so kooky and Elizabeth was a beauty that every young boy loved. I like the style of Ricky Steamboat though. He was a great wrestler and knew how to put on a show with just in ring maneuvers. Those were the matches you really loved watching... the ones with guys who could actually impress you with what they could do. Not just running around doing clotheslines and leg drops. And then there were the managers (which only ever seemed to work with heels). Always there to make trouble and you just wished these idiot good guys would just bring their own outside the ring helper to fend off the cheaters! The fun and excitement faded with time. Like you said, there was something magical in the 80's when you knew who were the good guys and who to root against, and then joined the other millions of fans to watch. It was a soap opera for men, and it was exceptional at capturing our attentions. That isn't to say that it isn't still good at capturing attention. But it's different now. The magic of not quite being sure if it's real or not... and whether or not these guys really hated each other... it's gone. We all know it's fake, and they make no effort to hide it any more. The drama that catches headlines is more real now... what really is happening behind the curtain, and that's just not magical. It's the gritty and grim reality we all live in, and hoped to escape from when we sat down to catch a match. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |

| 3477 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | There sure are a lot of things I miss. I used to love the Cheez It Twisterz. I have no idea why they stopped selling those. Plus I loved Lays Cracker Crisps. I don't know if you remember those, they were out in the later 2000's, but boy were they good. I was so upset when they stopped making them. | Foods Long Gone: The Sequel | Mar 22, 2016 | |
| 1201 | Article | Fulton4V | There use to be a club downtown that me and my friends would go to in college called Good Times. They had a special drink called the Twister that they were known for and we would get those. It was torn down a long time ago and all that is there now is the concrete foundation. | Bouncing Around Nightclubs | Sep 05, 2014 | |
| 76 | Video | Vaporman87 | There was a chain of Foodlands here in my area (actually there still are some). However, they are obviously not affiliated with this chain. | Foodland (Australia) | Dec 18, 2012 | |
| 1480 | Article | squidbee | There was a Children's Palace store close to me during my youth. I even had the VHS tape of your first video. I wish I still had it for nostalgia's sake, but I recorded over it with music videos from 120 Minutes on MTV. | Children's Palace Was Real | Oct 23, 2014 | |
