    The blisters were from Samantha Fox poster on my bedroom door (word to the wise, do not google Samantha Fox poster at work!) Holy hell!

    I had this bike. It was the best bike ever. Check this *kitten* out...
    - banana seat for "towing" friends? check!
    - scooped handlebars for additional passenger? check!
    - dropped middle bar for optimum trick performance? check!
    - peddle brakes instead of handle brakes for maximum skidding for dramatic effect? hellz yes!

    I was too cheap to throw my quarters in the Pac Man machines present in every pizza parlor or convenience store. Instead, I saved up my money to buy: Record albums!! I bought The Clash, Billy Squire (Stroke!), The Police, and of course classic late 60s albums such as The Doors, Rolling Stones, Traffic, and Jefferson Airplane. I saved up my money to go see Van Halen!! and David Lee Roth shook his booty in black leather pants that had cut outs for his buttocks. It was radical, dude. :blushing:

    Intellivision --> ugly cousin to Atari. Didn't last nearly as long, but actually had some pretty good games....

    Given Michael Jordan's meteoric rise to fame, these were pretty common sights back in the day:

    My favorite X-mas gift ever...

    2wfpbw9.jpg

    I just went to a yard sale where a lady was selling an original Atari with 30+ games for $100. I did not buy it but she gave me her number in case I knew anyone who wanted it.

    Pitfall was my very favorite Atari game and it was in the box too.

    You probably still deserve that quite a bit.
