| 1813 | Video | Vaporman87 | It's cool Caps. I've had that happen with my software as well. | Jan 18, 2015 |  | |
| 1814 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, something seemed so familiar about that Jenny Lewis, but after doing a Google search on her, she was not in any films that I ever really gave much attention to. She must have "one of those faces". Anyhow, I missed out on Out of this World (never watched an entire episode if memory serves). It seems like something I would have been interested in back in the day. Just for whatever reason, I never gave it a chance. I think the commercials that crack me up the most are the ones that have big time celebrities in them. Like Brad Pitt. Funny seeing these high profile celebs just starting out by doing the commercial circuit. | 80's Child Stars in TV Commercials | Jan 19, 2015 | |
| 1818 | Article | Vaporman87 | Makes you wonder what goodies will be available when the new movie hits. Kids will still be having JP birthdays. | A Lost World Birthday | Jan 21, 2015 | |
| 1819 | Video | Vaporman87 | I thought he seemed awfully familiar. That TV movie was a favorite of mine. Though the Thor story and design was just terrible. | Hunk | Jan 21, 2015 | |
| 1823 | Article | Vaporman87 | I recall very little about my kindergarten days. I can picture the room, it's layout, and being outside to eat lunch. But much of anything else is muddled. I do know that I ran into a fellow who was a classmate of mine for many years, including kindergarten, at the fair this past year, and we spoke a couple times for quite a while. My memory of him in kindergarten was that he was the kid with the metal brace on his leg (or legs??? Can't recall now). He wore those braces for quite a while. He seems to walk perfectly normal, so they must have done their job. | My First Day of Kindergarten | 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 1828 | Article | Vaporman87 | Never did I think I would come to know so much about Bayou Billy. And yet, here I sit, well educated on the man at long last, LOL. I would say there is not doubt about the influences that lead to the character. You've laid that out pretty clearly. Funny that with so much attention to the character in the cartoon series, and his own comic book mini series of sorts, that more wasn't done to push him further into our collective consciousness. Perhaps the marketing bigwigs finally came to the conclusion that "It just wasn't working", and pulled the plug on old Billy. I suppose we'll never know. | Nintendo Discoveries: The Adventures of Bayou Billy | Jan 24, 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 | |
| 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 | |
