| 1753 | Article | Vaporman87 | Sweet! I can't say I watched American Gladiators religiously, but whenever I saw it on as I flipped through channels, I stopped to see the action. My favorite events were usually the jousting and assault segments, but I also like the even where the contestant had to swing across on ropes, trying to avoid the Gladiator. There were times that I wondered if the Gladiator was not quite giving it his/her all. Like, maybe they had to hold back a bit at a director/producer's request in order to make the show exciting. I don't know though. I haven't heard anything like that from any former Gladiators or folks on the show. Still, who knows. My favorite Gladiators were Blaze and Siren (because I thought they were attractive). Among the male Gladiators, I really didn't have a favorite. My favorite event was Assault. How I wished I could be a part of that one! Watching this show was never the same for me after watching the MST3K episode "The Final Sacrifice". In that episode (if you haven't watched it, you absolutely MUST!) Mike and the Bots constantly refer to Larry Csonka because the main character's dad looks exactly like him in a photo. Just a funny little tidbit there for you to chew on. Anybody who might suggest that the competition was never fierce on the show might want to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lul2VsRg26U">watch this clip.</a> | Jan 02, 2015 |  | |

| 1759 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've received some pretty disappointing gifts on my birthdays. Typically they were clothing items (which I DESPISED getting for any occasion outside of purposefully accompanying a parent into a store for that sole reason). However, the most disappointment I ever remember feeling after having received a gift was an elementary school Christmas gift exchange. I remember seeing my friends opening gifts that I thought were pretty neat, and hoping I too got a good one. But the person who had drawn my name was one of the less fortunate students, and his gift was naturally that of a child in his predicament. Used and dirty. I think it was a Star Wars action figure (at least that was the scale of it, the Kenner 3 3/4" figs). Out of the package, terribly used, and in a plain brown box with tape keeping it closed. Much as I tried to hold it back, the tears came forth. I felt embarrassment that I was the only one in my class with such a gift. As a child, it's difficult to understand why something better could not be afforded. I wish I could have a redo on that and just show some appreciation... rise above the embarrassment. But what's done is done. | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 05, 2015 | |
| 1763 | Article | Vaporman87 | Well what do you know? pikachulover has a Phroomf! That pretty well cements this as being a West Coast phenomenon. One that I wish East Coasters would have had the privilege of enjoying! >:( | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 06, 2015 | |

| 1766 | Article | Vaporman87 | @cbf: I think I would have tried to work out a deal where you "re-exchanged" the gifts after the passage of a little time. LOL. Of course, you would want to hide those gifts from your moms. Unless you just said "Hey... he said I could borrow it." | Birthday Or BUST! | Jan 07, 2015 | |
| 1768 | Article | Vaporman87 | EXCELLENT!!! Darn you Hoju, you have tread on hallowed "retro" ground and I'm extremely jealous. I would have done the exact same road trip with the whole family, given the chance. That is just awesome. Bill and Ted made history just a little bit cooler than it once was for the remaining 3 years of my high school life, following the release of the movie. Suddenly I found myself looking up history on all these characters (excluding Abraham Lincoln), because I had never paid much attention prior to that (you only memorize stuff for tests, then it fades into obscurity like every other piece of knowledge you'll never need). My friend is an avid Con attendee, and he had the opportunity to meet and chat with Alex Winter (whom he said looked the same today as in '89). He had mentioned that a new film was in the works and that Keanu was on board with it, but who knows if that will ever surface. As for places nearby caught on film, there isn't much to speak of here in no man's land. Even so, it's not completely devoid of filming locations. Here in Rutland, our streets and buildings have been caught by the camera for documentaries and specials pertaining to the infamous Skatopia skate park. Not something we're proud of. But just a few miles away, in Point Pleasant, WV, many television shows and documentaries have been made regarding The Mothman. Most famously referred to in the Richard Gere movie, The Mothman Prophecies (though no filming for that movie was done in the actual town it happened in... seriously, why do they do that?) | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 07, 2015 | |
| 1771 | Article | Vaporman87 | Not a cold shoulder for Lincoln. It was just that I had already heard enough about him in school. I didn't need any more information on the man. That being said, I daily sport a stove pipe hat. | Bill & Ted's Excellent Filming Locations Tour | Jan 08, 2015 | |

| 1782 | Article | Vaporman87 | Only Hoju could somehow manage to make Superman work in a women's fashion of the 80's article. LOL I look at all of these fads/items and every one of them I could find in photos of my mom. Every one of them. From the fake nails to the giant jewelry... the photographic evidence is there. On the subject of giant jewelry, this was not something exclusive to women. My dad wore some ridiculous jewelry as well. Bracelets the size of watches made of gold, gold necklaces and rings... gawdy stuff. In fact, he still wears some of the stuff. Such a waste of money in my opinion. | Women's Fashion of the 80s | Jan 12, 2015 | |
