| 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. | Sep 05, 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 | |
| 996 | Article | echidna64 | There needs to be a 10X modifier to all retro ratings. You amaze me vkimo, all of your articles, even the older ones are all of superb quality! | Rad Retro Ads | Feb 10, 2014 | |
| 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 | |
| 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. | Mad Scientist: A Great Forgotten 80s Toyline | Sep 15, 2021 | |
| 4028 | Article | NLogan | There is also the vampire death scene in a bath tub of holy water in lost boys. | Top Scenes from 80s Movies featuring a Bathtub or Shower | Jul 29, 2017 | |
| 5662 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is a lot content out there that blasts D.A.R.E. for being too simplistic in its approach, and for its ineffectiveness. That fact of the matter is it was a multi-pronged approach to a crisis that was blowing up all too quickly. There was little time to effectively create a campaign that covered every conceivable base. If nothing else, it definitely made a memorable impact, considering we're still talking about it today. | How DARE Failed to Prevent Drug Use | Jul 25, 2022 | |
| 1022 | Video | Vaporman87 | There haven't been any text included with your recent submissions. Are you including text and it not coming through to me? If so, that may need to be looked at. But yes, I allowed this because of the films time frame. Plus it's a cult classic according to many. | Donnie Darko | Mar 01, 2014 | |
| 1709 | Article | NLogan | There are worse fates. Moss Man at least smells like a pine tree. Your celebrity here on the the retro boards will not be forgotten but could be cemented for ever in the halls of history with a picture to focus on. Think George Washington or Abe Lincoln. Likely no one will forget what Mona Lisa looks like. Your third eye only makes it more memorable and endearing. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 3057 | Article | echidna64 | There are so many great Beach Boys songs- Surfer Girl, Good Vibrations, California Girls, etc. One of my favorites is Forever which interestingly enough was also featured on the TV show Full House. John Stamos was a big Beach Boys fan and I believe he even went on tour with them. | Top 10 Beach Boys Songs | Oct 30, 2015 | |
