| 1633 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahh, man. I share your joy of reminiscing about the use of the record function of cassette recorders/players of our day. Only, where you were delighting in capturing your favorite songs of the day, I was using mine to preserve, for all time, my ability to pretend to be a DJ/Radio Talk Show Host/Sportscaster... along with some buddies of mine. I have probably 40 cassettes containing various mixes of those pretending sessions. Some were actually funny, most were only funny to me and the people I recorded them with. Though, something tells me they will be found humorous again someday when my kids find them and start listening to dad acting a fool in his youth. E.T. was huge for sure. My mom even had somebody she knew make an E.T. cake for me. But this was not a sheet cake with E.T. painted on with icing. It was a cake IN THE SHAPE of E.T.! Probably about 2 feet high. It tasted... awful. But man... it was cool to look at. Thanks for sharing this with us OldSchool. It's good to read something from you again. | My Christmas 1982 | Dec 14, 2014 |  |
| 1632 | Article | vkimo | If it could fit the Bat symbol, then it was fair game. I was at a flea market awhile back and this guy had dozens of the Batman coin bank cereals for sale. I regularly wear a Batman print shirt to the gym and have a velcro bat sign on my duffel bag. | Batman '89 Remembered | Dec 14, 2014 | |
| 1631 | Article | Vaporman87 | Where to begin? My main memory of this movie is that, the months leading up to (and after) it's release were what I'd call "Batmania". NEVER before in my youth had I witnessed a marketing push like that which this movie enjoyed. As you said, you could not escape it... no matter where you were. I had seen products emblazoned with the bat symbol that would never had occurred to me to be something you'd market a film on. It was just insane. And the thing was, I fully recognized it. Even then, at the tender age of 16, only just becoming allowed to drive by myself, I would often think, "Man, this is just crazy." And it worked. That movie was all you read about, heard about, or talked about when it came to films that year. And that's saying a lot, because '89 is arguably one of the best years ever for movies (from a fan perspective anyways). I had that magazine you pictured (might even still have it somewhere). And I know I still have the semi-hardback comic based on the film. I think I may even still have a very threadbare black t-shirt with the '89 bat symbol on it. No doubt about it... 1989 was the year of "The Bat". | Batman '89 Remembered | Dec 14, 2014 | |

| 1623 | Article | Vaporman87 | We parents can get pretty creative when necessary. LOL | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 1622 | Article | comic_book_fan | i found out about santa when i was 6 by sneaking out and catching my oldest brother putting the present and the stocking up and he had eaten the milk and cookies. and about 2 years before that i had an experience kind of like yours except i saw my sister packing in my present the night they bought it and when i asked about it they told me santa gave them the present while they were at the mall to put up they told me he done that to all the parents there so it would cut down on his delivery time which was completely logical to me at the time. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 12, 2014 | |
