| 3084 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great trip through some of your most precious memories. Thanks for that Rick. It's a sad reality that nothing lasts forever, and that is especially difficult to swallow when it is something special from your youth that fades away. Malls (like some other unique retail and service businesses) are a strange dichotomy; existing for the profit, yet the most meaningful thing they offer is free... youthful memories. To see something that you feel you have some kind of stake in, as though the time you spent there earned you some say in how it's fate plays out, slowly disintegrate before you... it's heartbreaking. I've seen many such places come and go. Places that meant a great deal to me because of the memories that were made there. They feel sacred, to a certain extent. It makes me wonder what places I and my family frequent now that my own children will feel the same way about. | Nov 05, 2015 |  | |
| 3085 | Article | Vaporman87 | This sounds JUST LIKE how I want my upcoming Thanksgiving to play out. Just perfect in every way. Yes, it's like the red-headed stepchild of the holiday season for some. But for me, it's like a nice, delicious, warm-up for Christmas. You can't beat that. | Thanksgiving Memories | Nov 05, 2015 | |
| 3092 | Article | Vaporman87 | All of those masks are stellar for their time, and look great even by today's standards. Especially the Gremlins Collector's masks. Those are just incredible. I would have LOVED to have a matching costume for a mask like that for Halloween. I don't recall ever seeing masks of this quality around as kid. At least not in your typical department store. Everything was Ben Cooper or Collegeville. | Retro Rubber Masks | Nov 09, 2015 | |
| 3095 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've always been a Mr. T fan. He's a success story that is an inspiration to many. It'd be so cool to meet him. | The Most Awesome Things Mr T Has Done | Nov 09, 2015 | |
| 3096 | Article | Vaporman87 | The best of this bunch in my humble opinion, is Bedknobs and Broomsticks. That movie was repeatedly viewed by my brother and I, as we both loved the final sequence of events. The suits of armor versus the Nazis was just awesome. It has many catchy songs (Portabello Road, Beautiful Briny Sea, etc.) and the mix of animation and live action is well done. | Top 10 Classic Live Action Disney Movies | Nov 09, 2015 | |
| 3105 | Article | Vaporman87 | With regard to the Burger King Kids Club, there is a Burger King about 25 minutes away from me with a play zone that features several of the Kids Club gang. It is a nice reminder of what used to be. That Burger King isn't very old, so they made a choice to deck it out in properties that have been gone for a while. It's nice. | What I Miss From Childhood | Nov 16, 2015 | |
| 3104 | Article | Vaporman87 | Don't feel bad. I felt the same way. When my teacher in grade school would execute a perfect letter on the chalkboard (after first using one of those chalkholders that would draw three lines together on the board, equally separated), I would just get fed up that I couldn't replicate her perfection on a piece of paper. Like you, I never used cursive for anything but signing my name, and even then it's been reduced to illegible doctor's signature style. Even so, I think it's a shame that we are slowly doing away with teaching cursive. Something about it seems culturally significant to me, though I'm not sure why. | Cursive Curse | Nov 16, 2015 | |
| 3121 | Video | Vaporman87 | Sony Pictures Animation was in talks to create an Alf movie (much like they did with Smurfs), but there's been no news that I know of on that since 2012. | Alf Intro | Nov 18, 2015 | |
| 3122 | Video | Vaporman87 | This is a toy line that has garnered a cult following, yet I never heard of it in my youth. | Food Fight Commercial | Nov 18, 2015 | |
| 3130 | Article | Vaporman87 | Surprisingly, we never owned a single one of these items. That's right. I was totally deprived of these. In fact, I don't even know of any friends who owned any of these items. Man, how did I even survive? LOL Nowadays you can even own a miniature "claw game" for your home. The kids get a kick out of that... until they get tired of always "winning" items that they already owned. | 3 Essential 80s Home Decor Items | Nov 23, 2015 | |
