Yeah I remember those days.. I also remember getting pissed when gas was to 99 cents a gallon in 1997 or so. That was long distance that was 10 cents a minute. I remember comics being $1 lol.. then Image changed that crap with their more expensive comics. Dark Horse comics were cheap though. |

Dude, on DirecTV there's two Nick at Nite channels. And they both show the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 10 minutes apart from each episode. So the episode will start on one channel, then 10 minutes later it'll start on the other one. Freakin' weird! Where's the god damn Wonder Years? That's real classic television! |

comic books were weird.. they would raise incremently(sp?) like 10 cents every year, I think that might of been a big reason why I stopped colelcting.. come to think of it, I have no idea how I ever had money to spend on comic books... |

Comics are fucking 3-4 bucks a pop nowadays. That's fucking nuts. It's like half the price if you just buy the graphic novel. |

The body changes too Jim...you just wait, you may just hit puberty yet :p But seriously, when did my joints pop as much in the morning as they do now When did The Weather Channel become better quality programming to me than MTV (don't answer) Since when did I sleep as little as I do now? and when did the slogan "I'll never do that again" become "I just can't drink like I used too." ; ; |

yah but she-ra and he-man hardly ever had episodes together iirc, and everyone knows that he-man was a total homosexual, so you wouldn't get any 'power of greyskull' but, you can always dress up with your husband
