| 1988 | Got a song stuck in your head? | For some reason, seeing the TaleSpin thread crow created put the DuckTales theme in my head. HUH? | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 |  |
| 1987 | Retro movie poster | <img src="/images/postImages/Date With An Angel May62013.jpg"> One of the better romantic comedies of the 80's. | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 | |
| 1986 | You might be retro if... | ...you're still building stuff with Legos. | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 | |
| 1985 | The Skating Rink | <blockquote rel="thecrow174"><b>thecrow174 wrote :</b><br>I can't skate worth a crap, but I tried my best when I went to the rink.</blockquote> I was not a skating wizard by any stretch of the imagination, but I could get around the rink fairly well. I would even occasionally get up the gumption to perform in the "limbo" competition that took place each Saturday night, though I never won. There were some regulars that I would see there that could do some pretty amazing things on skates. One of those gentlemen actually works on our furnaces here at the office when they need maintenance. I am not sure if he remembers me or not, but I'm going to mention the skating rink to him next time I see him. | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 | |
| 1984 | Metroid for the NES | Easily one of the best titles for the NES. It was one of those games that could really "grab" you and not let go. Mother Brain was going down! | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 | |
| 1983 | Legos | <blockquote rel="AceNThaHole"><b>AceNThaHole wrote :</b><br>I missed getting a free Star Wars ship<br> <br> That sucks</blockquote> The ship is apparently the one that is flown by a characater known as "JEK 14". He must have a pivotal role in the upcoming Cartoon Network series featuring Lego Star Wars, titled "The Yoda Chronicles". It is only a miniature version though, because looking at the way the ship as built for the series compared to what we were given, there are numerable differences (the series ship looks way cooler). | Vaporman87 | May 06, 2013 | |

| 1981 | The Skating Rink | I can't skate worth a crap, but I tried my best when I went to the rink. | Mr Magic | May 05, 2013 | |
| 1980 | Legos | <blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br>Later these can be torn apart and strewn on the floor for me to step on and wonder what the heck I was thinking.</blockquote> lol <blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br>I spent most of my time with Legos attempting to build a working robot. Unfortunately, imagination and desire are not that effective at bringing autonomy to a stack of Legos. :))</blockquote> Of course, now with Mindstorms it's totally possible. I've never played with those but it's pretty cool that's available now. Maybe I will sometime, add it to the list of 500 projects on my docket...one thing I kind of don't like is so many lego sets now that are very specific. You can get kits to make a Death Star or whatever, that have all the pieces needed to do so and only those and they can't really be used for much else. I'm like, if you want to make a model, get a model kit where the finished result isn't for disassembly. Eah, I'm kind of rambling now but the Hairy Pooter legos and such are just a little mystifying to me. When I was growing up just having legos with moving wheels was crazy. On the other hand should the progress really be a bad thing? <blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br><br>my two sons are big into Star Wars legos, <font color=gray>and they are outrageously priced</font></blockquote>Well, whose fault is that? :)) | shakin steak | May 05, 2013 | |
| 1979 | Legos | Well, today was the Star Wars celebration, "May the Fourth (be with you)". In recognition of this, Toys 'R Us had a special between 12:00 and 2:00 where you could come in and gather the necessary pieces to build a special one-of-a-kind Lego Star Wars ship. <br><br>We took the kids there today to experience it and came away with 5 free Lego ships... and about $150 bucks worth of EXTRA stuff. Those promotional brainiacs sure know how to get you in to spend some money!<br><br>Here are some photos I took while there:<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/photo(2).JPG"><br><br>The table with boxes containing all the pieces you need for the ship. You gather them up in a tiny baggy and take them to another table to assemble the ship.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/photo(4).JPG"><br><br>My wife assists two of my children assembling the ship. Later these can be torn apart and strewn on the floor for me to step on and wonder what the heck I was thinking.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/photo(1).JPG"><br><br>The finished product.<br><br>The TRU employee who was overseeing the customers while they were there said he had probably 50 or so families come in for the event. <br> | Vaporman87 | May 05, 2013 | |
