I am still retardo.. out on the bends with department, one of younger memebers borrows my hat and my tie then she goes home without returning them, such a good hat! Fuck

-When I was in high school, I wore my hair with two little braids on the side like Legolas.

-I had a crush on Orlando Bloom, if the above didn't make that obvious.

-Actual conversation between me and my sister: "Hey look. Is that a bees' nest?" "I dunno. Let's kick it and see."

-My favorite toys as a kid were a set of Yellow Submarine action figures. I had John and George, and my sister had Paul and Ringo. We played with them for years, they were probably collector's items not intended for children, and we completely trashed them. George's head eventually fell off.

-My other favorite toys included Tea Bunnies, which were little plastic rabbits in fancy oufits who fit into teacups, and Fisher-Price Pirates. We had like three different pirate ships, four complete crews, a skull-shaped island, and a castle.

The aforementioned bunnies and pirates often got into elaborate turf wars. The bunnies always won, despite being wildly outnumbered. The teacups they fit into became hovercrafts.

-Okay, so that one's not so much retarded as it is quirky-awesome. I regret nothing where my childhood games are concerned.

I wish you would draw more unfunny comic with stick figures. They were a refreshing relief from my unparalleled genius. I ♥ you.

As for me, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned playing DBZ in the backyard. My K.O. Punch from those days is almost a viable technique. Seriously, the momentum from missing my friend who cuts down trees for a living now carried me a couple yards. Sadly, none of my drinking buddies will fight me, no matter how much I bring up how cool Goku is. Oh, and since elementary school I would draw comics based on stuff I liked, like this KaBlam based comic about two ghosts hosting a variety show or one about some manner of Pokémafia lead by a Jigglypuff. Good thing I grew out of that, huh?

The nostalgia hit me so hard. I wish they still showed that shit . :(

Worse is when you do this for all your favorite characters from anything.

I was Zero nine times out of ten. My friends were usually Link or Geno.

I am worse, BTW.

I'm glad someone appreciates the genius of my childhood games.


We didn't act out any particular tv show or movie ourselves, although we did act them out with Barbies and Playmobil figures and such.

As far as acting out fights, we staged swordfights all the time. We had a pair of those molded-plastic hollow swords that claim to be "safe and soft." (LIES) We'd duel until someone got hurt and started crying and ran to tell Mom, at which point Mom would take our swords away.

Then we discovered that there was an unlimited supply of wooden stakes in the garden shed, and that they were sword-shaped and within easy reach. Ah, good times. Good times.



And one summer we cut a refrigerator box in half and made pirate ships out of them. We loaded them with water balloons and hurled them at each other for hours. I have no idea how the cardboard boxes survived that, but we had those things for months.


I miss that show too. Action League NOW was my favorite segment. Sometimes you can find episodes on YouTube.

Oh man, the middle school box I found is a treasure trove of everything that was both awful and awesome about my younger days.

"Tales of the Sailor Scouts, Chapter One: The Truth about O.J."

I fail to see where the awful comes in.

I fucking miss Freakazoid.

And Invader Zim.

And Animaniacs.

Damn, when did this become a nostalgia thread?
