| 1973 | vhsCover | Vaporman87 | I love your description of this one. LOL. I didn't even realize Chuck Norris HAD a son... let alone did I know he tried his hand at acting. This looks amazingly hilarious. Perhaps we should skewer this one in the Theater some time. | Feb 12, 2015 |  | |
| 1977 | Article | Vaporman87 | LOL. Maybe, one day, that will be all anyone sees when they visit www.retrojunk.com. Scary. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1983 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think you are right that our desire for nostalgic feelings rests with the experiences and trials of our youth. Though, in my case, I was the kid with lifelong friends... Living and growing in the same community all my life. I still had to deal with the fallout of divorce and all that brings with it. But in the end it afforded me a new brother who I still consider a brother even now (his mom and my dad are divorcing now too). I think in light of that, what I'm looking for is to celebrate the good times and have them somehow benefit my children. | Being The Fat Kid | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1987 | Article | Vaporman87 | When did Mr. Pibb go extinct? It was still in my area up until recently (I hadn't checked lately). Unless you mean the old formula. In 2001 the cinnamon formula became Pibb Xtra. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1996 | Video | Vaporman87 | One of those great B action stars that was getting all kinds of work in the 80's. | Avenging Force | Feb 13, 2015 | |
| 2003 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great article Hoju. This really hits home, as I am in the same boat as you. My memories of sleepovers past are golden. We had a lot of fun, though more innocent fun. Probably the most ornery thing we did was squirt fake blood on my best friend's sister while she slept. LOL. But we do live in different times. Kids are allowed to get away with far more than ever before, and if you don't want your kids possibly exposed to that, your choices are hard and limited. A great deal of the decision to allow sleepovers depends on the lifestyle of the parents of the friends, and that is not always an easy thing to discover. With the invention of the internet, and social media, you can get a little more familiar with the parents AND children, but even that has its limits (parents aren't always going to be forthcoming about their faults and shortcomings on the internet). One thing that may help you better determine what to do, is to know that as your kids get older, you develop a level of trust in them. My daughter (our oldest) has been a very trustworthy kid and if she continues to be, she might be allowed a limited opportunity to do the sleepover thing. She has had a friend sleepover at our own house, and we are familiar with the grandparents of this other child (with whom she stays while in our area - not her parents). I would probably be okay with her staying at their house. But likely not her parents, whom I know very little about. My best memories of sleepovers involve similar things to what you mentioned. In earlier years, we would enjoy gaming on Atari and Intellivision, the NES, and watching music videos. Sometimes we would enact drama in our school using G.I. Joes. I would be Duke, and my crush would be The Baroness. Later on, we would start our "careers" in audio recordings, making movies, and doing outdoor activities. They were good times for sure. And yeah, we would try to stay up as late as possible. Very rarely did we make it through the whole night though. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2004 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was right to say that your passion for the subject matter (whatever it was) would make it worth the read. I've never even heard of this show until now, but your description and praise here makes me interested. Does that scare or fascinate you? LOL | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2006 | Article | Vaporman87 | I forgot to mention that your breakdown of the level of detail put into the intro/outro as compared to the actual show pretty much applies to every show from the 80's and early 90's (with the exception of most Filmation cartoons, which always looked about the same throughout). Look at intros for shows like Pole Position, G.I.Joe, Transformers, TMNT, on down the line... the intros always had way better animation. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2010 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz: So much of what Batman is to us today was culled from that one series. That's a testament to its impact on fans. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2018 | Article | Vaporman87 | My guess is that with a little less "preaching" the gospel of protecting the environment, Captain Planet could have been something bigger... and might have had increased longevity. The writers tended to focus too much on the lesson, and not enough on developing the show into something entertaining. | Overrated shows from my childhood | Feb 18, 2015 | |
