| 1965 | Article | Vaporman87 | Also the Calvin and Hobbes pic should sway you. LOL | Feb 11, 2015 |  | |
| 1969 | Video | Vaporman87 | I'm recalling an article here on useless variants... <a href="http://retro-daze.org/site/article/id/67">yeah, this one.</a> Slam Dunkin' Don? I wonder how many hapless kids made their parents buy that one? LOL | TMNT Mutations | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1970 | Article | Vaporman87 | Now that you mention it... yes, that Iron Man does look like a alternate color Dead Pool. LOL. I'll never get over the shape shifting Punisher image though. | The Curse of the Variant | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1971 | Article | Vaporman87 | Mmmm... your description of OK makes me thirsty for some myself (if I was still allowing myself to drink soda, that is). This is a story I have lived through many times over. Some days I feel cursed that any food or drink product I enjoy will quickly disappear as soon as I proclaim it "good". The list is quite long... Oreo Cereal, Sugar Free Oreos, Snackwells mini chocolate chip cookies, Swordfish (though it's made a comeback everywhere now - FINALLY), etc. So you're certainly not alone in your affinity for things to consume that disappeared. Who knows... maybe one day everything WILL be "OK" again. :) P.S. Congrats on being the first to utilize the new "Color" background option. It looks great in white. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1973 | vhsCover | Vaporman87 | I love your description of this one. LOL. I didn't even realize Chuck Norris HAD a son... let alone did I know he tried his hand at acting. This looks amazingly hilarious. Perhaps we should skewer this one in the Theater some time. | Survival Game | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1977 | Article | Vaporman87 | LOL. Maybe, one day, that will be all anyone sees when they visit www.retrojunk.com. Scary. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1983 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think you are right that our desire for nostalgic feelings rests with the experiences and trials of our youth. Though, in my case, I was the kid with lifelong friends... Living and growing in the same community all my life. I still had to deal with the fallout of divorce and all that brings with it. But in the end it afforded me a new brother who I still consider a brother even now (his mom and my dad are divorcing now too). I think in light of that, what I'm looking for is to celebrate the good times and have them somehow benefit my children. | Being The Fat Kid | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1987 | Article | Vaporman87 | When did Mr. Pibb go extinct? It was still in my area up until recently (I hadn't checked lately). Unless you mean the old formula. In 2001 the cinnamon formula became Pibb Xtra. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1996 | Video | Vaporman87 | One of those great B action stars that was getting all kinds of work in the 80's. | Avenging Force | Feb 13, 2015 | |
| 2003 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great article Hoju. This really hits home, as I am in the same boat as you. My memories of sleepovers past are golden. We had a lot of fun, though more innocent fun. Probably the most ornery thing we did was squirt fake blood on my best friend's sister while she slept. LOL. But we do live in different times. Kids are allowed to get away with far more than ever before, and if you don't want your kids possibly exposed to that, your choices are hard and limited. A great deal of the decision to allow sleepovers depends on the lifestyle of the parents of the friends, and that is not always an easy thing to discover. With the invention of the internet, and social media, you can get a little more familiar with the parents AND children, but even that has its limits (parents aren't always going to be forthcoming about their faults and shortcomings on the internet). One thing that may help you better determine what to do, is to know that as your kids get older, you develop a level of trust in them. My daughter (our oldest) has been a very trustworthy kid and if she continues to be, she might be allowed a limited opportunity to do the sleepover thing. She has had a friend sleepover at our own house, and we are familiar with the grandparents of this other child (with whom she stays while in our area - not her parents). I would probably be okay with her staying at their house. But likely not her parents, whom I know very little about. My best memories of sleepovers involve similar things to what you mentioned. In earlier years, we would enjoy gaming on Atari and Intellivision, the NES, and watching music videos. Sometimes we would enact drama in our school using G.I. Joes. I would be Duke, and my crush would be The Baroness. Later on, we would start our "careers" in audio recordings, making movies, and doing outdoor activities. They were good times for sure. And yeah, we would try to stay up as late as possible. Very rarely did we make it through the whole night though. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
