| 3311 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was sitting here thinking, "But Ecto-1 was a movie based car". However, it was in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, wasn't it? So I guess it COULD qualify in this list. | Feb 03, 2016 |  | |
| 3362 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'm pretty sure I received several Smurfs cards. They were pretty popular in the early 80's, when I was in elementary school. Sometimes Star Wars would make it into the mix too. For me, making my "receiving box" was the highlight. I always did my best to deck that thing out and outdo the others. LOL | Rad Retro Valentines | Feb 14, 2016 | |
| 3365 | Article | Vaporman87 | Really, my design was more about LOOKING better than the others. Maybe getting a little more creative with the materials. Not just boxes with stickers or drawings on it. | Rad Retro Valentines | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 3372 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would definitely consider this to be a perfect Saturday morning as a kid. With the exception of cutting my mouth on Cap'n Crunch cereal. I'd ditch that for some Golden Grahams or Cookie Crisp. Great read, Hoju! | The Perfect Saturday Morning | Feb 19, 2016 | |
| 3373 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's just some awful parenting right there. What person asks a kid to give another kid their belongings just to make them shut up? I'm pretty sure I would have made an even bigger stink than the other kid, just to make the adults think twice about taking my stuff and giving it to some whiny brat. | The Purse | Feb 19, 2016 | |
| 3377 | Article | Vaporman87 | This craze came after my school age years, so I never understood it. MMPR and Pokemon both confused me. I didn't see what was so fascinating about either. But there was definitely an "Asian invasion" that was spearheaded by both franchises. The knock-offs of those franchises were laughably worse. | Mighty Morphin Ripoff Rangers Part 1 | Feb 23, 2016 | |
| 3378 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's nice that you at least managed to get the supporting role you wanted. Too bad more people didn't stick around to watch. But at least it provided for a nice memory. | Acting Selfish | Feb 23, 2016 | |
| 3367 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just wow. Loved this one. True... we each have fond memories of time spent with things that we all knew of and had as children. And those things are special to us and we share similar feelings and memories with regard to them. And then there are those memories that, like you mentioned, are solely our own and unlike any that others may have had. And yet this feels familiar to me. I also spent time exploring nearby woods. Both at my childhood home, and the home I spent my teen years growing up in. Both had woods behind them, and both were just calling to be explored. The home of my childhood featured woods directly behind it that seemingly went on forever (to a kid). At one point, you could exit them and find yourself in a valley with the shadow of a water tower cast over a small junk pile. In the junk pile was a VW Bug surrounded by old appliances and trash. I recall finding an "adult" magazine there, and my friend who had traveled there with me taking quite the interest in it. I used to tell the other neighborhood kids that a little girl died in those woods, in a quicksand pit that I had yet to find. I have no idea why. If you exited another part of the woods, you did so through a large cement culvert under a main highway. At the other end of the culvert was a small body of water. It was very cool. The home I spent my teenage years in also had a nice wooded area behind it. My brother and I would explore it once in a while. And once, a friend and I went deep into the woods and discovered a rocky outcropping that lined a large hillside. In the outcropping was a cave, but not an enclosed one. One side of the cave was completely open, so that watching us traverse the cave from outside would look like watching ants travel through the dirt in an ant farm. It was really cool. My friend and I were jumping from one side of a small creek to another outside the cave, and when he landed on one side further down, his shoe sank into the mud, and when his foot popped back out, his shoe did not. All we could see was the hole for his foot in the shoe. The shoe itself was buried in the mud. Good times. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 3388 | Article | Vaporman87 | I always enjoy the articles in which you explore some set of memories. They are your best works. This one is no exception. It definitely puts me in mind of a perfect weekend. Great stuff, TDitH. | Memories of a Perfect Weekend | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3389 | Article | Vaporman87 | I too missed out on the Pokemon craze. I actually had a lot of difficulty understanding it's appeal for a while. I would see and hear about this craze, and just scratch my head. I just didn't see the appeal of it. The same went for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Both seemed really overblown to me. I would be lying if I said I now understand it. I don't. LOL. However, I think I have a better grasp of their appeal to those who did enjoy them, and still do. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 28, 2016 | |
