| 171 | Video | Vaporman87 | Because no cartoon could air if it didn't have some clumsy baffoonish character providing comedy relief. | Jan 21, 2013 |  | |
| 1820 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Oh the joys of the video arcade birthday and a whole roll of tokens! I bet you did your best to stay in that kid's good graces until the next birthday rolled around. Congrats on the Mortal Kombat victory, however short lived. That's a feat I never managed to accomplish in any fighting game. Did you ever get that Barry Bonds card for your collection, through a trade or something? | Aladdin's Castle B-Day | Jan 23, 2015 | |
| 1824 | Article | Vaporman87 | That would have been awesome to just have a roll of tokens handed to you. Total bliss. I had an arcade type of birthday once. It took place at Showbiz Pizza in Parkersburg, WV. (no longer there, naturally). We had a grand time playing games, watching the Rock-A-Fire Explosion perform, and eating pizza. Those were good days. | Aladdin's Castle B-Day | Jan 23, 2015 | |
| 1825 | Article | vkimo | @Hoju - Sadly no Barry Bonds :( But I did have that hockey puck for a number of years before losing it. | Aladdin's Castle B-Day | Jan 23, 2015 | |
| 1831 | Article | Vaporman87 | What year was Bonds rookie card? Was it '87? The year Topps did the whole wood grain look on the card? I have that one, and a bunch of others. | Aladdin's Castle B-Day | Jan 24, 2015 | |
| 1832 | Article | vkimo | It wasn't wood grain, but I know exactly what card you're talking about. This was a Giants card and his rookie was as a Pirate. I have a few of that card | Aladdin's Castle B-Day | Jan 25, 2015 | |
| 1821 | Article | Mr Magic | I'll always have a place in my heart for the One Saturday Morning intro. | TDitH's Top 5 Segment Intros of the 90s | Jan 23, 2015 | |
| 1827 | Article | Vaporman87 | The Toonami intro in which Tom speaks always caught my attention. Then, later on, I came to recognize the voice actor as that of Wolverine in many X-Men cartoons. In fact, I think he still does a lot of Wolverine voice work. | TDitH's Top 5 Segment Intros of the 90s | Jan 24, 2015 | |
| 1829 | Article | Mr Magic | If you happen to do another list, could you use this video, please? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diz_MTchn94 As you can see, the superstars come together/interact in this one. | TDitH's Top 5 Segment Intros of the 90s | Jan 24, 2015 | |
| 1834 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh. Here is a subject I can dig into pretty deeply. Sure I had several plushes churned out to peddle the latest TV, film, or other property... but it was the stuffed toys with no affiliation to these things that I always felt drawn to. Unlike my He-Man, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, and Transformers toys, I preferred to inject into my stuffed toys the personalities, eccentricities, and character I wanted them to have, or felt like they would have if they were actually "alive". During my preteen years, I would stay up a little later (on almost a nightly basis) and use my smaller stuffed toys to perform a show, right on my lap as I laid down in bed. The covers draping over my legs and knees served as the stage backdrop... for the "Meowwy Wowwy Show". Yes, I'm treading territory that I've already covered in the forum more than once, but this article screams for it to be retold. Characters like Meowwy himself, his brother Smarts, Penguin Halfheart, Buford the Rabbit, and many more would perform for me until I was too tired to let it continue. These stuffed wonders were nothing more than fairly generic, unknown toys. But once brought to life with my imagination, they were far more popular than any Scooby-Doo or Snoopy toy could ever be. The best thing about all of this, is that the "Meowwy Wowwy Show" is now a big part of the play time I enjoy with my own kids. Sure, Meowwy now has a real stage (puppet sized, mind you) and a bigger audience, but the character I brought to life more than 30 years ago is the same today. And so is the toy, actually. My "Meowwy Wowwy" stuffed cat is 34 years old this year. Penguin Halfheart is pretty much the same. 34 years and Meowwy has never once needed to be sewn. Yeah, his felt ears are starting to deteriorate and disappear, but beyond that he is pretty much the same as he was all those years ago. Those who haven't yet seen the photos of Meowwy's new digs and of Meowwy himself can see that in <a href="http://retro-daze.org/site/thread/458?page=8">this thread.</a> | Stuffed Animals of the 80's | Jan 26, 2015 | |
