| 2354 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. I've never heard of these actors or these movies, but to discover how popular they were even into the 90's boggles my mind. They're like the David Hasselhoffs of Italy! I've watched a few movies out of Italy, but they were mostly dreadfully awful sci-fi schlock starring Antonio Sabato (not Jr., but his dad). I didn't even know why they were called "Spaghetti Westerns" until just now. Is that sad? LOL | Jul 06, 2015 |  | |
| 3623 | Article | massreality | Wow. Incredible story. It’s wild our perception of events change as we get older, and even when we think we have it all figured out there is still more to the story. Your dad sounds like an incredible person. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 22, 2016 | |
| 3367 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just wow. Loved this one. True... we each have fond memories of time spent with things that we all knew of and had as children. And those things are special to us and we share similar feelings and memories with regard to them. And then there are those memories that, like you mentioned, are solely our own and unlike any that others may have had. And yet this feels familiar to me. I also spent time exploring nearby woods. Both at my childhood home, and the home I spent my teen years growing up in. Both had woods behind them, and both were just calling to be explored. The home of my childhood featured woods directly behind it that seemingly went on forever (to a kid). At one point, you could exit them and find yourself in a valley with the shadow of a water tower cast over a small junk pile. In the junk pile was a VW Bug surrounded by old appliances and trash. I recall finding an "adult" magazine there, and my friend who had traveled there with me taking quite the interest in it. I used to tell the other neighborhood kids that a little girl died in those woods, in a quicksand pit that I had yet to find. I have no idea why. If you exited another part of the woods, you did so through a large cement culvert under a main highway. At the other end of the culvert was a small body of water. It was very cool. The home I spent my teenage years in also had a nice wooded area behind it. My brother and I would explore it once in a while. And once, a friend and I went deep into the woods and discovered a rocky outcropping that lined a large hillside. In the outcropping was a cave, but not an enclosed one. One side of the cave was completely open, so that watching us traverse the cave from outside would look like watching ants travel through the dirt in an ant farm. It was really cool. My friend and I were jumping from one side of a small creek to another outside the cave, and when he landed on one side further down, his shoe sank into the mud, and when his foot popped back out, his shoe did not. All we could see was the hole for his foot in the shoe. The shoe itself was buried in the mud. Good times. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 1303 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just... wow. I LOVE this story. This is something special. I can't even come close to providing a similar moment in my own life, at least not as far as sharing a moment with a superstar. KIDS, Incorporated was a show that I caught on an on-and-off basis. There would be times that I would be flipping through channels and catch the show, watch it to it's conclusion, and mostly forget about it. I was not one of those kids who ever thought I would be anybody famous or working with anybody famous. Only my dad can say that in my family. He spent some time at a dinner with Ric Flair once, and once met Johnny Bench I believe. I... didn't LOL. I suppose if I were to pick an accomplishment in life that might have produced a similar feeling, it would be the work I did for the Masters of the Universe comic book. To actually be able to contribute even the smallest, goofiest thing for a property I grew up loving so much, was really special... even if Mattel said I had to go after 3 issues. LOL. I think those weeks/months I did that work, I felt like I was doing something pretty cool that transcended my otherwise quiet and unassuming life. Wonderful story Hoju. | KIDS, Incorporated: Dreams Come True | Sep 23, 2014 | |
| 1741 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Look at those images. LOL. Everything screams late 80's/early 90's! I especially love that Superman has a mullet, and that the marketing departments of about every corporation on earth would have even changed the skin color of the kids in the ads to hot pink or neon green if they thought it would sell more product. As for magazines I owned/read, I had a subscription to Master of the Universe Magazine for about a year. I WISH I still had those magazines now, dangit! Although the posters would be long gone, as I routinely ripped them out and hung them on my walls until no more could fit. The <a href="http://www.earlnorem.com/motugallerypage.html">Earl Norem images</a> were just amazing. I also owned some movie based mags that were just one shots, like the Batman (1989) movie magazine, Godzilla (1998), and others. Then I also bought MAD Magazine and Cracked now and then. Cracked (the online magazine) has become a vulgar shell of what the printed magazine was. It's sad to see. I had some Boy's Life and Highlights magazines also. The Highlights magazine was something that was given to us by our elementary school teachers, but I would peruse them and if I found something that looked interesting, I would read it. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 29, 2014 | |
| 855 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Nice collection Miss M! I don't know why, but I was surprised by the amount of creativity that Lego put into these figures of the past. I associate all the little creative touches and added flourishes with today's Lego figures. I don't know why I didn't realize how far back Lego has actually been playing around with the original design of the minifigs, and coming up with new and different ways to play around with the concept. Out of the bunch, I would say the pirate takes the cake... at least in terms of uniqueness. Great list Miss M! Thanks for this. | Miss M’s Top 10 Lego Minifigures! | Nov 13, 2013 | |

| 3086 | Article | massreality | Wow. That pulled on the heart strings a bit. I think we all have places like that from our youth. | Memories of the Nanuet Mall | Nov 05, 2015 | |
| 2365 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. That's a lot to digest. Clearly MTV had a major impact on you in the 90's. My interest in MTV waned beginning in the late 80's. In the mid-80's, it was the "cool" thing to do to watch MTV and Friday Night Videos, catching the latest video representations of your favorite music whenever time allowed (and someone else wasn't watching the big screen). I can recall pretty clearly sitting with my buddy Phil on one of those crazy looking curved chaise chairs, powering on the big screen TV (the kind that lifted out of the cabinet like some kind of alien fortress), and watching music television. But by the 90's, MTV had run it's course with me. Later, when MTV introduced Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, Singled Out, and other entertaining programs, I started tuning back in. I also found myself fascinated by the first season of The Real World, like you (I HATED Puck!!!). Then, once again, I began losing interest. Since then, I have all but forgotten MTV. You would have to pay me a significant amount of money to watch it at this point. And when they started introducing other channels (MTV2???) just to air videos, I knew this thing had jumped the shark, at least in my opinion. But it will always hold a particularly special place in my memory jar, for those nights long gone, sitting with a friend and enjoying our favorite music set to video. | MTV: The 90's | Jul 08, 2015 | |
| 867 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. That's awesome that you were able to finally complete a game that you started many years ago. That does have to be a fun and special feeling. My brother was always the RPG player in the family. I preferred the action/adventure games with real time fighting and such, as opposed to anything turn based. And, I had a hard time getting into games that used so much text instead of actual dialogue. I really don't know why, since I grew up on games with NO dialogue at all (text based OR spoken), but I think after that first time I heard "B-17 bomber" come through a speaker on the Intellivision... I felt like I wanted to HEAR the characters speak from then on. Still, I occasionally enjoyed watching the games be played through. I had some difficulty with the fact that many of the characters of RPGs were little kids. I wanted my heroes to be giant warriors with massive axes, lol. But, I've grown to appreciate the genre as the years have progressed. Now, Phantasy Star... the only Phantasy Star game I have actually played was the Phantasy Star Online game for the Sega Dreamcast. I actually spent a good deal of time playing that one with my brother in online multiplayer. I don't know if any of the story from that game tied in to the mythos of the original Phantasy Star games, or if it was something like Final Fantasy where every game is a new story, but it was a fun romp. Thanks Miss M.! | The Role of Phantasy Star III | Nov 22, 2013 | |
