Ahhhh, I still blame my juice adiction on this cartoon.
"mom, when I grow up i am going to be big and strong just like he-man"

**TexasFitnessGirl** · 08-13-2005, 02:19 AM

your classmates excessive eyeliner - I'm talking about the guys

**63190** · 08-13-2005, 05:32 AM

Hey, I'm with a band.

I had a mullet. Twice. I have pictures from the last one at my parents 25 anniversary. I was 22 then. I'm 28 now.

First time I was in the sixth grade.
M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines?!? No one else remember those?
WWF thumb wrestlers? I had some.
SLIME! Didn't any one else play with this?
Sticky hands toys? You held a leash type thing and and tossed the hand out at some thing and it would stick. You yanked it back after making contact and it would come too if light enough.
Gummy Bears? I had to get up at 6am to catch that here in the mountain time zone.
Turbo Teen?
Plastic Man?
I work grave yard shift now. No good cartoons on the big three net works on saturday mornings now. I believe fox shows some kinda cartoon now. But not like the big three had in the 80's.
Spider-Man, Ice Man, and Star Fire? Was that her name? I believe the show was called The Adventures of The Amazing Spider Man and his friends.
Right after was Hulk. I blame Lou Ferigno Hulk for my life style as much as He-Man. It's because of them that I want to be huge.

**juicy_brucy** · 08-13-2005, 05:57 AM

He-man turned me into a juice pig.

**GREENMACHINE** · 08-13-2005, 11:28 AM
