| 1761 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Thanks for breaking the post-holiday article drought. This was a great read, as usual. I hated those learn a skill books with a passion. One year I got the Klutz Juggling book, I wanted to play, not learn to entertain at other kids birthdays. My Mom's boyfriend got me trilobite excavation kits or other science junk birthday presents for years. At the end of their relationship he finally wised up and got me an album full of 8x10 vintage KISS publicity photos, but it was too little too late for me to put in a good word for him. Should have been buying me comics, dude. Oh and loved seeing the Geoffrey cash, I miss that stuff. Now a Toys R Us savings bond, that would have been something to get excited about! | Jan 06, 2015 |  | |
| 1770 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Why did you give Lincoln the cold shoulder during your history boom? You got something against stove pipe hats? @echidna64 Glad you dig it. Small correction: Excellent Adventure was actually filmed in 1987, not '88 like I stated. | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 08, 2015 | |
| 1772 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Sweet Christmas! And he still looks so new! He must be surrounded by Christmas magic from his time with Santa. Thanks for sharing. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 08, 2015 | |

| 1789 | Article | Hoju Koolander | That's a pretty great collection of "girl toys", some of which I had never seen before (Gorgeous Creatures, AHHHH!). Those action figure sized Disney Princess dolls sound like an awesome experiment. I thought it was great how in the later run of the TMNT figures we finally got those Irma, Vern and Burne figures. I'm surprised they didn't come with mutant creature heads to dress them in for battles with Shredder. Very cool Pizazz costume too. The Misfits were way more fun than Jem and The Holograms, less glamour, more attitude! @Vaporman87 We definitely need to do a retro Halloween costume contest next year, don't you think? | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1785 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Wow, Anthony Edwards is "King of the Sidekicks" isn't he? Even in Revenge of the Nerds I always felt his Gilbert was playing second fiddle to Lewis. Great list! Sometimes sidekicks get a break, like Ben from Short Circuit becoming the main character in Short Circuit 2 (which is actually my favorite of the series). The only omission for me is Annie Herman from Troop Beverly Hills. She starts out as the sidekick to the villain, Velda Plendor, then switches sides to the kinder, Phyllis Nefler. Her overly timid performance is hilarious. | Top Sidekick Characters from 80s Movies | Jan 12, 2015 | |
| 1790 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Sounds like you had a pretty awesome older brother to hook you up with fast food and talk radio. My dad and I tuned into "El Rushbo" and "Art Bell" through many travels in the car while snacking on junk food (I WASN'T skinny UNTIL high school). I think the best part of your story is that your family really made the day about you. All your favorite activities were crammed into one massive celebration. Very cool. | My 6th Birthday Party | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1796 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover My wife seconds your comment about the big glasses. I guess since that was kind of a unisex style, I never associated it with just women's fashion. But Annie Potts as Jeanine in Ghostbusters is one great example of it. @vaporman87 Hey, at least your Dad will have some bartering power in the post-apocalyptic world. What will YOU have...Moss Man mint in package?! j/k | Women's Fashion of the 80s | Jan 15, 2015 | |
| 1801 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87: My favorite lyric of the Gummi Bears theme is "Magic and mystery are part of their history, along with the secret of Gummi Berry Juice..." Very medieval/sword and sorcery with all those horns blaring. @thecrow174: Excellent point. Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers had some of the best NES games ever, not limiting the discussion to just licensed games. So it's odd that Gummi Bears never go that treatment. | The Disney Afternoon Revisited | Jan 16, 2015 | |
| 1802 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Pillow Head sounds like a good premise for a horror movie. I had 2 reoccurring dreams during childhood: 1) I would get left behind somewhere by my family, but in this world I was a 4 year old Spider-Man. So I would stick to the bottom of a car (in costume) that would drive around the city until I found my family. 2) I was stuck in a maze with multiple doors, either Batman, The Joker or a family friend would pop out from a door, but when I went to open it they were gone and as I walked through I was back the start of the maze again. | My Top 5 Strangest Reoccurring Dreams | Jan 16, 2015 | |
