| 1171 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ooooooh. Touching on some controversial subjects here. This should be interesting and fun. LOL Personally, I too was raised with quick and easy access to this same content at an early age. And, as you stated, I too believe I turned out alright. On the other hand, I also harbor a feeling of disappointment over it. Many times I have thought about what I was allowed to consume on television and in games, and I now wish such wasn't the case. Not everybody feels that way, and that's perfectly normal. But when you are being raised in a home claiming to be "Christian", it sends lots of mixed signals and creates a whole lot of confusion and inner turmoil. Now that I am raising my children in a home ALSO claiming to be "Christian", this same content will NOT be permitted. My kids will have their whole lives to learn to understand and live with the ugly side of society. And in my opinion, it has only gotten uglier with time. But during this most important time in their lives, when their minds, bodies, and souls are most vulnerable and susceptible to the influences of our culture, I will be performing the duties that I should be expected to perform. Protect, teach, and show my unconditional love. My kids are learning that there are certain things that we don't do, don't view, and don't say... and why. And I don't expect them to learn these things by simply hearing me say not to. They will see me and my wife as the living examples we should be. Unlike my own childhood. Of course, we are not perfect. But I hope I can be as close to a perfect example as possible. | Jul 14, 2014 |  | |
| 1166 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ah yes. Pee Wee Herman. Such a peculiar character, but fascinating to me as a kid. I really enjoyed Pee Wee's Big Adventure. And I REALLY wanted that bike. I also wanted to punch Francis in the face. And... I may or may not have had a bit of a crush on Dottie (it irked me greatly that Pee Wee kept avoiding her advances, lol). Then came the theater incident. I hated that whole thing. It ruined everything about Pee Wee for me. I couldn't get the same enjoyment from the movies or the television show after that, even if just for nostalgic reflection. He did do a very good job as the "second in command" vampire in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the movie, not the stupid television show). But lots of time has passed, and I'd be willing to give Pee Wee another shot. | Pee-wee's Big Adventure... and my Big Obsession | Jul 08, 2014 | |
| 1169 | Article | echidna64 | Excellent article Mike! Pee Wee's Big Adventure is one of Burton's best and definitely one of the most quotable! I adore that movie! Have you ever seen the Pee Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special? It's awesome and has tons of special guests that were popular at the time like Oprah. Plus, seeing Morpheus as Cowboy Curtis never ceases to amaze! | Pee-wee's Big Adventure... and my Big Obsession | Jul 14, 2014 | |

| 1158 | Article | Vaporman87 | Having 3 young kids, I can tell you firsthand that these new water guns can be so overly complicated it reaches frustration levels. Not to mention it seems like the manufacturers are going more for style and aesthetics than functionality and practicality. Why would you manufacture a water gun so massive it requires two hands, only to make the water reservoir a tiny clip that holds less liquid than a Capri Sun package? I don't get it. Still, there are some newer soakers out there that are advanced AND practical AND extremely cool. But I just don't see them ever being as good as those described here. Thanks Mike! | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 01, 2014 | |
| 1159 | Article | vkimo | Fun article! I picked up a classic Larami 100 about a year ago. More than 20 years old but works great. I just use it to play with the dogs now. | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 02, 2014 | |
| 1160 | Article | Vaporman87 | I need a few of those Laramis to wash my truck with. lol | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 02, 2014 | |
| 1161 | Article | MikeCovers | VAPORMAN87: Seriously, some of those had streams powerful enough to do that! I was almost BEGGING my dad to let me wash his car. And it's a shame that they are today focusing far more on appearances than functionality. I personally see nothing wrong with the "classic" style; even by 2014 standards it still looks pretty awesome. VKIMO: Thank you! I bet the dogs enjoy it too! You can play AND hydrate them all at once! | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 02, 2014 | |
| 1162 | Article | shakin steak | Awesome. I was just thinking about Super Soakers last week and how the neighborhood kids should have some. Apparently the new models take batteries now??? WTH is that! I'll have to go to the store and look at them in person to see if there are any good ones. And I agree, the 50 and 100 still look the best. | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 03, 2014 | |
| 1163 | Article | Vaporman87 | I have a feeling these babies will become collector's items. I can foresee another 10 or so years down the road, these being pretty expensive (especially still sealed in the package). Maybe I should buy some now? | Super Soaking Your Victims | Jul 03, 2014 | |
