| 3288 | Article | Hoju Koolander | What a varied list, this was awesome. Those Playskool People are such time capsule figures, seeing as they were created to represent the "contemporary" look of everyday people from that era. I too have long been amazed by R-Rated toy lines like Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Predator and Rambo. The basic attitude of the day seemed to be, "If it looks cool, mold it in plastic for the kids". That was a great story about your Miss Elizabeth figure. My Dad was also involved in a lot of my collecting during childhood, though it was most definitely not his thing. | Jan 20, 2016 |  | |
| 2755 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a strange woman. It really isn't clear what she was trying to get out of you or accomplish. Sounds like an eccentric old lady with poor social skills. In my mind I keep seeing the old lady from "Throw Mamma From The Train" and "The Goonies". LOL One thing is certain, that would be one very memorable final Trick or Treat night. | Unmasked | Oct 02, 2015 | |
| 3700 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a rockin' party! You really hit all the right spots for having a great party. Fun outside, NES inside, and lots of sweets and presents. Awesome time. And then they had to go and give you the acid wash jacket. Bummer dude! I had one myself that I prized for a while. I even wore it to one of my own birthday parties held at our local skating rink. Fun to wear FOR a party... not to GET as a gift for one. LOL | Hoju's 7th Birthday Party: 1989 | Jan 29, 2017 | |
| 2803 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a perfectly memorable final Halloween to experience. Such a great story. I literally laughed out loud here in the office at these lines: "And by himself I mean he was very loud, overly active, and incredibly annoying. My mysterious night of fear was now downgraded to one bad *ss Michael Myers and his annoying high school sidekick." So now you've made ME look like a fool laughing at YOU and your friend looking like fools. Ah well, it was worth it. I would have been fumbling all over myself trying to apologize for making those kids cry. Poor things. Thankfully the parents were very understanding. | My Final Halloween | Oct 08, 2015 | |
| 4090 | Article | Superman | What a nice, spooky story. It's pretty well written for an eleven-year-old. I love the illustrations, too. | Haunted Hotel an 11 year old's narrative | Aug 30, 2017 | |
| 4167 | Article | Superman | What a nice tribute to a woman who was important to you in your teenage years. If I had to say who my Jennifer Lopez was I would probably say Teri Hatcher, though Annette Funicello (despite being a star from an era long past by the time I got into her in the '90s) and Amy Jo Johnson were also significant crushes of mine back then, too. | Jennifer Lopez: My Biggest Celebrity Crush of all Time | Oct 04, 2017 | |
| 3084 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great trip through some of your most precious memories. Thanks for that Rick. It's a sad reality that nothing lasts forever, and that is especially difficult to swallow when it is something special from your youth that fades away. Malls (like some other unique retail and service businesses) are a strange dichotomy; existing for the profit, yet the most meaningful thing they offer is free... youthful memories. To see something that you feel you have some kind of stake in, as though the time you spent there earned you some say in how it's fate plays out, slowly disintegrate before you... it's heartbreaking. I've seen many such places come and go. Places that meant a great deal to me because of the memories that were made there. They feel sacred, to a certain extent. It makes me wonder what places I and my family frequent now that my own children will feel the same way about. | Memories of the Nanuet Mall | Nov 05, 2015 | |
| 3727 | Article | massreality | What a great post. I love it! Man that picture of everyone huddled around the NES brought back memories of pretty much every birthday party I attended in the late 80's. | Hoju's 7th Birthday Party: 1989 | Feb 10, 2017 | |
| 3052 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great list! The Beach Boys are one of those bands that transcends time and changing sounds. They're one of the greatest bands of all time in my opinion. Anyone of any taste in music can find at least one song of theirs that they find appealing, and that's hard to accomplish. Thanks for this Poshy. | Top 10 Beach Boys Songs | Oct 30, 2015 | |
| 4902 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great list! Some of these hits I didn't realize (or had just forgotten) were covers. | Top Cover Songs of the 80s | Apr 10, 2019 | |
