| 3256 | Article | Vaporman87 | The first album I ever purchased was Information Society's self titled release. That was in cassette format though. I am not sure what my first CD purchase was. | Jan 09, 2016 |  | |
| 3257 | Article | Vaporman87 | I had always liked Raiders of the Lost Ark. Temple of Doom... not so much. I think it had to do with the lack of an actual relic of some significant real world interest being sought. Who wouldn't want to find the Ark of the Covenant? But some goofy stones? Meh. Then came The Last Crusade. Ah yeah. That's better. Gonna find us that Holy Grail for realz! (Did I just type that?) Anyhow, it was a fun ride, and was not far behind Batman as my favorite movie of that epic film year of '89. And, in keeping with the pattern, those morons decided to once again go after some artifact that has no real world following or significance. An alien skull? UFOs? This movie should never have happened. If I were making another sequel, there's no way I'm sending Indy after anything but Noah's Ark, or some other biblical artifact. | Indiana Jones Memories | Jan 09, 2016 | |
| 3258 | Article | Vaporman87 | Curse you Hoju! I never had one of these. I was stuck with the traditional View Master! I would have loved one of these babies! Though, I would have likely been spending way too much time trying to figure out how to get my own artwork or pictures to work with the thing. Yeah. Probably best I didn't own this. LOL | The View-Master ShowBeam | Jan 09, 2016 | |
| 3277 | Video | Vaporman87 | No, not Michael Bell. Though, I'm not sure who it is exactly, I've heard that voice in many different ads. | Ragu Thick And Hearty | Jan 15, 2016 | |
| 3280 | Article | Vaporman87 | Speaking of TMNT figures, that Toxie looks like he would have fit right in with the turtles line. Then again, Playmates made both lines, so that makes sense. Great 2015 haul Miss M. Congrats on adding some fun stuff to your ever-growing collection. | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015! | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3281 | Article | Vaporman87 | Short but sweet. I don't recall this show at all. But the concept seems pretty solid. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, TDitH. | Long Lost 90's: Eyewitness | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3282 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, who DIDN'T want some sweet, themed bunk bed set up. I would have loved to have had a set up bunk beds like what is available today. So many varieties, and with some really cool features. Like you, it would have been pretty pointless for me to have bunk beds. It was just me and my sister for one part of my childhood (and we had separate rooms), and me and my brother for the rest (but we just had a queen bed in the basement). By the time I was living with my dad, I was not really interested in having a bunk bed. We did have a set of bunk beds for the boys for a few years here. But we did away with them recently (the top bunk never got used). | Bunk Beds | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3283 | Article | Vaporman87 | This was a part of childhood I never experienced (for which I am grateful, actually). It would have been very difficult for me if I had, being a very shy and introverted kid who was also short. Probably the closest experience I could have had to this would have been my first year in high school (which, as I have previously mentioned elsewhere here at RD, was actually my 7th grade year... since there was no "middle school" in my school district. 7th graders and Seniors walked the same halls in my school). That was a bit of an awkward struggle for us all, being so young and trying to find our place amongst these high schoolers. No, I needed the stability and familiarity in my youth. Even though my status in school wasn't exactly what one would like, it was enough for me to get by without too much bullying/humiliation/etc., and I even managed to be acceptable enough to be on friendly terms with some whose status was much higher than mine. I made it work, somehow. To have to give that up and start anew... that would have crushed me, I think. I'm glad you made the most of it Hoju. My hats off to you. | Being The New Kid | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3292 | Article | Vaporman87 | I knew that I enjoyed the song, but don't recall much about the video, despite the fact that I was a huge music video watcher when this video first came out (on both MTV and Friday Night Videos). I love that you have brought this to our attention. It gives us another glimpse at what we thought life might be like in "the future" back in the 80's (even predating BTTF's version of our time by about 6 years). What was it about "the future" that made us instinctively envision a lack of color (silver everything)? | Rick Springfield’s futuristic ‘Human Touch’ video takes place in 2016 | Jan 24, 2016 | |
| 3295 | Article | Vaporman87 | This was a very emotional read, and really well done. I can think back to my time in school, and watching some of my fellow classmates suffer like you. I myself was the target of the occasional bully, though not nearly to this extent. I somehow managed to find a place in school that kept me out of the crosshairs for the most part, and even allowed me to have some civil relationships with those who might otherwise have bullied me. I can't imagine the bullying I did receive being multiplied to such a degree that I feared going to school every day, and felt like there was no help for me. Now that I am a father of school age children myself, I see the act of bullying from a totally different perspective. I would be furious to find out such things were happening to my child, and the school would come to fear my phone calls if such things ever happened routinely. I am not one of those people who believe our children today are becoming spoiled and weak because we are more serious about bullying in our schools these days. Bullying is something that no child should have to endure. I do believe that kids today are indeed more apt to BE spoiled and weak, but not because of our approach to bullying in schools today. Thank you for sharing this difficult set of memories with us Rick. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I am glad you overcame all that adversity. | Being Bullied | Feb 01, 2016 | |
