| 4798 | Article | Ravenloft | Back in those days we never wore helmets for skating or bikes except the one time we tried BMX. Helmets weren't a thing and nobody's parents freaked out about it. That said, one of our elementary friends died in a header on his bike. Funny how when we were gearing up our little brother elbow/knee pads and helmet were the first things we bought. We also found a natural jump made of two upturned concrete sidewalk slabs that made a perfect steep upside down V. We foot stomped for all we were worth trying to gain speed to launch, eventually we took turns with a bike rope tow to get truly impressive (for kids) distance. Also a sidewalk in our apartment complex went down a hill to a 2 1/2 foot drop off into the parking lot and it was the defacto launch for the entire neighborhood. We called it the doom drop. I think it was a handicap accessible thing because the sidewalk lead straight to an wheelchair apartment. No one launched a skateboard off that thing and survived a landing although we tried for years, but with bikes and scooters we could do it. The scooters with the mini bike tires not the lame scooters with the rollerblade wheels-those things would highcenter as soon as the front wheel went off the doom drop causing the kid to attempt a full front flip or die. | Jan 14, 2019 |  | |
| 1354 | Article | jkatz | @Hoju Koolander I don't think the wraparound style was exclusively Greek. I can't think of any examples atm but I'm positive it's been done in the states too. Also, didn't know swearing was discouraged here. I'll try to tone it down next time. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1451 | Article | jkatz | pl, I don't know about anybody else, but I love costumes you throw together from whatever you have lying around the house. It's fun and you can get really creative and elaborate with it. I remember how one year I was pressed for time I so threw on a beret, tied a scarf around my neck, smeared my face with some makeup and went as "the snooty frenchman". Maybe that's a bad example but you get the idea. | Costume Redemption | Oct 18, 2014 | |

| 1948 | Article | jkatz | Did anybody else have The Simpsons Rainy Day Fun Book? Basically a giant activity book with card tricks, pranks, stuff you could cut out, and many more. I always thought it was bizarre because I never really considered The Simpsons to be a kid's cartoon per se. | Simpsons Illustrated and 90's Magazine Ads | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1963 | Article | jkatz | I've never been to retro junk so this article is pretty much useless to me as far as nostalgia goes. But that Rocky 4 poster is amazing! I approved this piece just for that. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 11, 2015 | |
| 1980 | vhsCover | jkatz | Actually I didn't write the descriptions for most of these.. I just scoured IMDB for lines from reviews that I liked. As for showing it in the theater, it's true that there's not a lot of action scenes, but there are plenty of cheesy laugh out loud moments! | Survival Game | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1981 | Article | jkatz | This reminds me of Mr. Pibb, another long gone, sadly missed soda. Fortunately somebody ha he foresight to horde a few cans back in the day,and now it can be yours for the low, low price of $25 per can! http://www.sodafinder.com/products/mr-pibb | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 12, 2015 | |
