thats a cheap sounding dirtbike whats worng with that :thumbup:
 
Dang, lol, that was my childhood in a nutshell. Altho, I still wear LA Gears (they're the only thing that'll fit my wierd feet).

That thing is missing one key thing; a mention of the "Sleepaway Camp" trilogy. It's also missing some of the classic TV shows "you can't do that on TV", "Finders keepers", ren n stimpy... just to name a few. As well as the alltime classic, transformers and gobots.

What about "The Clapper?"
When I grew up that wasn't something we talked about.
It was the the worse thing one could possibly get yet cured with a pill.
Didn't need condoms to stay alive back then.
