| 962 | Article | pikachulover | Angelinos can't deal with rain! No really we can't. All that stuff they make fun of on tv about people not handling the rain is true. The news coverage is funny too. It's usually called something like "Stormwatch (and the year number)". The schools aren't built for rain around here. The junior high I went to didn't have an indoor cafeteria or gym. It makes you hearty to spend at least 40 minutes in a wooden patio covered area. Then you would shiver at P.E. Strangely enough the streets don't drain that well either. Even if they do go directly into the ocean. I remember the particularly rainy winters of 91-93, and in 97/98 (an el nino year)and in 2004. I think I went insane during those winters. In 2004 it was hard because I went to this college that had bad irrigation. You'd have to wade through water just to get to your classes. | Jan 30, 2014 |  | |
| 963 | Article | vkimo | Man, I totally forgot about building forts! Couch forts were also a big staple of rainy days. My brother and I would take all the large couch cushions and drape sheets over them and bring all our toys in. | Remembering Rainy Days | Jan 30, 2014 | |
| 965 | Article | Vaporman87 | Forts, tunnels, "trampolines"... all great couch cushion creations. Occasionally they became "buildings" for my sister and I to destroy Godzilla style (complete with a rolled up blanket tucked into the back of my pants as a "tail"). They also make great "chairs" to hit opponents with when you're "wrestling". lol | Remembering Rainy Days | Jan 30, 2014 | |
| 966 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think the show that most captured my attention as a kid that had a particular focus on wildlife was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I can remember coming home from church on Sundays and sitting down on the couch to enjoy that show. I can still hear the show announcer ringing in my ears, introducing the show following commercial breaks. Great show, that was. | Long Lost 90s: Really Wild Animals | Jan 30, 2014 | |
| 967 | Article | Mr Magic | Those poor dolphins in Japan. :( | Long Lost 90s: Really Wild Animals | Jan 30, 2014 | |
| 970 | Article | Vaporman87 | Good grief! What country was your school in that there were all these bands who didn't know any English language songs? Oh right, California. lol. ;) Ah, if there is one thing I can clearly recall it is the feeling of being at one of our high school dances after the football games. Many times, I was like you... sitting on the bleachers talking with friends and imagining dancing with my crush. She, of course, had a boyfriend at all times and was fathoms out of my league, but that just can't stop those dreams, can it. I can vividly recall the dancing going on to the recently released single by none other than Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby. Yup, every student and his brother was out there dancing like fools to that song. Wow, looking back on it now it all seems so ridiculous. LOL. But man, it was huge when it first hit. Thanks so much for this pikachulover! | Dancing and Basketball | Jan 31, 2014 | |
| 971 | Article | pikachulover | Actually the bands did play English language songs the DJs didn't. I only crushed on that guy at school for a year because he graduated when I was a freshman. | Dancing and Basketball | Jan 31, 2014 | |
| 972 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh man. Soooo much commercial goodness here that I had all but forgotten about. I have to start with the Whatchamacallit ad. I had COMPLETELY forgotten everything about that commercial. And yet, I remember seeing it so much that it would rattle around in my head for hours afterward. I miss seeing that ad on tv. The Crystal Pepsi ad with the "Right Now" song is such a good ad. Too bad the drink wasn't. lol Then, of course, there are the 7-UP and Nike ads which I recall seeing many times over. The Jordan/Bug Bunny ad played constantly it's prime, and I think was only topped by the Barkley vs. Godzilla ads. I have never seen the "fart/pager" ad before. That is hilarious! I knew several people who had pagers, though I did not. I can see their usefulness at the time, but I simply just did not receive enough phone calls to warrant owning one. Thanks for these great Super Bowl ads Miss M! | Super Bowl Commercials | Jan 31, 2014 | |
| 973 | Article | pikachulover | All the commercial jingles I remember from my youth have ruined me! Whatchamacallit is ingrained in my mind along with Caramello, Ring Pop and Juicy Fruit. I seemed to like candy jingles. Makes sense I love candy. I remember the Superman ad since I'm a big Seinfeld fan. At least you didn't use that 1984 Apple ad. I'm so sick of hearing about that ad! Maybe it's because I've been studying mass media in college. I think the Smart Beep ad was performed as a skit at one of my high school assemblies along with one of those old "Tampax was there" ads. My school assemblies had strange themes like commercials. Other themes they used separately were Disney and robots. I'm not sure why the assemblies needed a theme. My high school was weird! | Super Bowl Commercials | Feb 01, 2014 | |
| 974 | Article | Fulton4V | I spent most rainy days hoping that the water would flood our road so I didnt have to go to school the next day. The bus could not come throuh the water when it was too high. | Remembering Rainy Days | Feb 02, 2014 | |
