I am what I am.

[scriptfactory]

I'm trying to find the old Transformer, Thundercats, GI Joe, Silverhawks and He-Man episodes. I really want my sons to be able to watch them, too. I absolutely hate this Power Ranger drivel that is on TV now. Gawd...

[humungus88]

1,2,3,4,5......6,7,8,9,10.....eleven twe e e e e elve!! LOL

[rar1015]

[chest6]

man..I was only 3 when it hit '90 but i remember a couple of those from when i was a lil kid

[DARKSEID]

Damn, I'm old remembering all that shit.

[Lucius Leftfoot]

i too...am a child of the eighties. and looking back....its wonder we didn't all turn out to be a homo. the eighties and everything about it was GAY imo. i myself prefer the nineties.

[Lucius Leftfoot]

man..I was only 3 when it hit '90 but i remember a couple of those from when i was a lil kid

chest...you ain't even 20 yet? you're killing kittens before you're even of age...thats krazy.

[Lucius Leftfoot]

all bullshittin aside...i thought you was older than that for some reason.

[G-1000]

That is good. I rember just about all of that.

[Prada]

I was still a baby but many of those apply to me which occured in late 80s. Ahhh reminisence.

[MatrixGuy]

I guess it was the 90's when the hyper colour t-shirts came out? God damn they were cool, lol. Mine was blue and when u were hot it turned purple. wicked.

[chest6]

chest...you ain't even 20 yet? you're killing kittens before you're even of age...thats krazy.

yeah..not "literally" killing kittens of course

[bor]

I don0t know who Fat Albert was, and I never heard of push up ice cream...other then that I'm in

[bor]

Actually wait wasn't Fat alBERT a fat black kid on a cartoon with all black kids or eomething like that, I think they were b-ball players

[perfectbeast2001]

I had a toy called "big trac" which you programmed to make various different turns and moves. It had a little trailer and I use to try and programme it to take my nan a cup of tea. It always crashed into a wall though.

[BigLittleTim]

1. Striped spandex work-out shorts (The stripes in the front were on an angle so they'd "make your quads look wider!) Laugh about them now, but you know you wore them.

2. Everyone in the gym still wore a weight belt. I think I'm one of perhaps five serious guys in my gym who still wear a belt. Is this considered a "retro" fashion item?

3. Gyms that played Heavy-Metal music over the sound system.

4. Chalk.

5. No women, except maybe the owner's girlfriend.

6. No televisions.

7. "Hot Stuff", "Gorilla Heat", "Animal Packs", etc. The gym made more money off of drinks and shakes than they did from membership dues.

8. $25.00 per month membership dues.

9. Big, baggy gym pants ("Baggies") in outrageous paterns: barbed wire, snakeskin, american flag, skulls & crossbones, etc.

10. And last, but not least, STEROIDS EVERYWHERE!

Ahhhhh... The 80's.

[cfiler]

I remember all of those. We used to push the sleves up on all out shirts, Miami Vice style.
