| 5210 | Article | NLogan | Has it really been nearly ten years since you wrote this? Wow! My brother and I ditched during junior high. We made a fort in a field for a couple of days. We naively hid from every adult thinking they would call a truancy officer on us. We wised up and just started going to a buddy's house until school got out. We played video games and watched MTV. Eventually the thrill was gone and it got boring. So we went back to class. It was better to be friends with the teachers. I got out of math to play baseball because they were a guy short. Or the time we went on the day long chess club field trip tournament and weren't even on the team, we just knew how to play and they were short people. We played five games contributed to the team score so they didn't forfeit, then played handball in the racquetball court, swam in the pool, and played basketball. Legitimately excused from class was way better. | Playing Hooky | May 29, 2020 |  |
| 5209 | Article | Vaporman87 | Epic tale of childhood brazenness as only vkimo could tell it. Who knew that a boy scout like vkimo, with his flag shorts and leather fascination, could be so mischievous? I was never inclined or brave enough to skip school for any period of time, though I did spend a few afternoons here and there "skipping" recess. LOL. A group of friends and I called ourselves C.Y.G.A. (Citizens and Young Guardian Avengers)... don't ask. Our mission in the later years of elementary school? To NOT go outside and play when everyone else did for recess. Yeah. We would stay behind and wander the halls of the elementary school trying not to get caught by the teachers and staff. Daring isn't it? | Playing Hooky | May 19, 2020 | |

| 5206 | Article | pikachulover | I used to go to Suncoast for collectables. I got a Sailor Moon backpack there. They also sold manga there. | Making the anime nerd transition | May 17, 2020 | |
| 5205 | Article | DynoAir | Great write up! Accurate and thorough cross culture knowledge as well. Cheers. | Making the anime nerd transition | May 16, 2020 | |
| 5204 | Article | Vaporman87 | I must once again confess that I have not seen The Wizard. It's another film on my long list of '80s/'90s films that I hope to watch one day. | The Wizard | May 14, 2020 | |
| 5203 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | This brought back some memories Ben. I too would go too Suncoast to pick up all my anime. It's something that has been lost as technology has taken over. | Making the anime nerd transition | May 14, 2020 | |
| 5202 | Article | Benjanime | @Julie thanks so much for reading ^^ | Making the anime nerd transition | May 14, 2020 | |
| 5201 | Article | Julie | Most of the animes I watched were from Hanna-Barbera, also going through Topo Gigio, Barbapapa, Sesame Street among others from the 70s and 80s, such as Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man and She-Ra, the fabulous Dungeons & Dragons, among many, many others. In 1989 I had my first Atari 2600, so the TV lost about 70% of the space it occupied in my leisure time. But when the Sega Genesis came home in 1991 (at the same time as the Power Rangers boom), I completely stopped watching TV and so I continue to this day. But Benjanime is introducing me to some gems that I lost along the way. He's great! ;) ❤ | Making the anime nerd transition | May 14, 2020 | |
