Favorite toy as a kid

"but this dude has a sword..."
"yea well he could use 2 swords AND 2 axes if he wanted to.. but he's so badass he doesn't need too.."

haha, yeah, that guy was clearly the best muscle. I had the ring and all that crap.

muscles remind me of Army A.N.T.S., but they weren't as popular or out as long:

Also, how could you guys forget MICRO MACHINES?!?!>:



I used to love making the square cities. I'd set up the dump site near the Fish and Chips so I could jump that shit with my red porsche.

I had every Transformer ever invented. As luck, or perhaps fate, would have it, I lost my entire stash. I know for certain that our maid at the time stole my favorite Transformer of all (I think it was Prowl - he was the silver RX-7 model IIRC) and then my mother decided that I had outgrown the toys and shipped my entire fucking collection to the Middle East. No lie. So some kid in northern Iran has my entire pristine collection of Transformers, minus Prowl. I vowed I would kill them all one day. You just don't do that to a 19 year old boy.

If I had a Time Machine, I wouldn't go back to my 1996 self and tell myself to buy I-Omega stock at .82 cents and dump it off after 3 splits at $84.00, I would go back to my 1980's self and tell myself to BURY THE FUCKING Transformers (including Prowl) somewhere far and safe from human interaction. Then yea, I'd go to my mid 90's self and tell self about the impending dot.com boom, Dow at 10k, etc... and then find and kill the man that would be responsible for Teletubbies.

Perhaps I'm rambling...

I'll tell you a funny story about Shrinky Dinks. Ok, perhaps it's not that funny, but it is a story. Anyhow the lead singer of the band 'Sugar Ray' (Mark McGrath?) went to my high school. He was in a band called, yep, 'Shrinky Dinks.' True story.

OMG! Transformer Cassetes!!!!!

I had 2 of thsoe and they were like the greatest thing EVER. I ended up punching my pre school teacher in the stomach b/c she took ti away from me and I got kicked out of preschool

i had pretty much every transformer known to man also... Furthermore, I had the Transformers Micro Machines Base It was a large missile silo that transformed into a base, and there were all these mini Transformers that really transformed too was the best gift a 5 year old could get... ahh, the good ole days of 1986

Except I'm not kidding... Nor do I give a shit. I thought his band was fucking homo, still is!

Unless you really went to CdM.

OH I GET IT, you were trying to be funny but failed.

It's ok man, it happens to the best of us...

Transformers were great, Beastwars kinda gayed it up though.

I think i still have the Transformers movie on VHS someplace, love that movie, with the big planet eating transformer guy. Cool stuff.

[The Insider]

Yea, the Movie....those were good times for Transformer loving kids. Now they have bastardized all things Transformers

[klauk]

Armada is gay. I own the Transformers: The Movie on DVD

When I was at CdM, Newport Harbor didn't beat us at shit. They were our bitter cross town rivals, no doubt, but they were powerless when faced against me and my Badminton squad. I think I may have beat their Varsity Doubles team solo on more than one occasion. But what are you gonna do when the #2 player in the division is breathing down your neck?!?! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN THESE 9.5 INCH PYTHONS COME DOWN ON YOU BROTHER???? I was a wirey fucker... And before you ask any further questions, I did in fact have my Lettermans jacket and 2 stripes and yes, the ladies LOVED the Badminton racquet icon I had stitched into that thing... this was no small time league.

Girl: "Oh what are the stripes?"

Me: "This stripe here is for my third year of Varsity B-bird, this stripe here is for the second year of Vars, and this here Racquet... she's the first year of Vars... "

Girl: "Oh, you're soooo dreamy..."

Me: "I know this.... let's fuck."

Odds were about 100-1 on this working at any given time. Don't try to duplicate this at home without parental supervision.
