Sheah, I can remember when Bugs Bunny and Road runner cartoons weren't censored for their violence!!!


I can also remember being 12 years old when Star Wars [and yes, it was only called star wars not Star Wars - A New Hope] came out for the first time. I was the first kid in Yuba City to see it 100 times. I still have the news paper clipping (somewhere)

Now I am on 2967. Just 33 more times and I hit the big 3000 for view Star Wars Ep4! Woot!

Whoa, you counted? That's... um... I can't decide. Still cool that you were in the paper though.

Thanks for making me feel old Tionne.

You guys should check out this article about 11 year-olds playing classic video games. I CANNOT believe they haven't been exposed to Tetris.

yes Joe, I went through three video tapes. I want 3000 before Ep3

I just read that article about the 11 year-olds. That's funny!!!! Kids these days are so violent, yeesh. What is the world coming to, I ask you? Ahh well, we'll always have the 80's.

yeah the 80's with 'hair bands' and 'glamour rock'

I'll forever remember my older friends wanting to see Back To The Future III while I was the only one who wanted to see the Turtles movie. That was a fun day.

Doogie Howser was *so* hot. What ever happened to quality tv programming????

HEY BRIGHTSITH AND AUNTIE IN THE SAME DAY!

Here's a funny set up from Brithsiths.

I saw a double feature of the Turtles movie and Back to the future 3.

Scappy dappy doo! I think he was the 80's!

AUNTIE!! You're alive!!! I had started to wonder where you were hiding. Indeed, Doogie Howser was HOT!

*reminisces about DOS*

The actor who played Doogie, however, is scarred for life...he'll never escape that role. I remembering seeing him play the somewhat sinister intelligence guy in "Starship Troopers," and the whole theater is like "DOOOGIE!" Hehe.

Don't forget the Doogster is now the voice of spider-man/peter parker on the new cartoon on MTV.

which is a great cartoon by the way.

Ahh I remember being in love with christy gold from growning pains...which was odd since everyone compared me to Mike on the show.

It's funny I was never into Daisy Duke..I guess i like to corupt the good girls into doing bad things..that and I was afriad Cooter would want to play the squeel like a pig game with me.
