Trip Down Memory Lane!

[ChaosVortex]

Post all your old junk you used to play, watch, or experience in your childhood so we can all remember all that good stuff and whatnot.

Games. Movies. Old shows. I don't care, just do it.

I was at work tonight and I was instructing someone on how to properly run the grill, arguing what the proper size of a burger was and stuff no one really cares about but it's my job so stfu.

Someone mentions "Good Burger", and although I admitted to the sin of never watching it, I mentioned that I missed Kenan and Kel.

And we both quoted the line together at the same time:

"Who loves orange soda!?"
"Kel loves orange soda."
"Is it truuuuue?"
"Mm-hmm... I do, I do, I DO-oooooo!"

I couldn't stop laughing.

God, I miss this show.

[ASR]

You've never seen Good Burger?

Really?

That movie gets away with so much ##### Nick would never allow nowadays.

Anyway, yeah, I'll post more later, I like this topic.

[Rama Olendris]

Alf.
A whole lot of Alf.
I miss that cat-eating-alien so much.

I was also rabid about The Last Unicorn and Sailor Moon.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, I really have to give this a think.

[Xero]

Kenen and Kel were the #####.

[Chron]

Kenan and Kel was an awesome show.
Much better than most of the live-action crap that Nickelodeon has produced.
Minor exceptions of Pete and Pete and Wild and Crazy Kids.

Funny how they all have "and" in them.

But me?
I used to watch the Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM cartoon a lot when I was little. That and Reboot were my Saturday morning for the longest time.

Favorite cartoon ever was the Centurions, shortly followed by David the Gnome (which I what I named the gnome in Half Life 2 Ep:2 throughout our epic campaign into space).
I used to have the original book that inspired the David the Gnome cartoon, and I just thought it was cool to see the thing come to life like that.

Oh, and you can't forget Gullah Gullah Island and Eureka's Castle. Sure, it was toddler fodder, but I'll be damned if it wasn't hypnotizing.

As far as toys, I had tons of Legos and most of the Star Wars Action Fleet models.
Not because I liked Star Wars that much (although it was cool), but because it was fun to run around outside firing plastic laser beams at the other children.

And then there were the video games.
When I was like 4-5, my father bought a ColecoVision and a PC. Some of my earliest gaming memories are playing Donkey Kong, Xaxxon, Math Blaster and Roger Wilco's Space Quest.

Good times.
Good times.

[Edgecrusher]

Hey, Are You Afraid of the Dark? was awesome too.

[Chron]

I forgot about that one.
It was OK from time to time, but for a "horror" show it never really lived up to it.

I remember more laughter at the outlandish plots and "hip kids".

Zeeb indeed.

[Rama Olendris]

I didn't really play with toys much, now that I think about it. I had tons of stuffed animals, but no dolls or anything like legos. I was too busy exploring, swimming, getting lost and watching my brother play video games than playing. I guess my childhood was pretty dull.

[preventerWIND]

Reboot was Alphanumeric.

[Chron]

Stay frosty, Wind.

I played outside when I got the chance, as well.
Nothing dull about running around outdoors with people.

[Mikero]

ReBoot IS alphanumeric. It's not dead. I went to a whole thing with Rainmaker Studios a few weeks ago about it.

Anyway, it's Nerf or nothing.

Hey, Are You Afraid of the Dark? was awesome too.

YES. I was talking about it to my boss last week.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I miss Are You Afraid of the Dark? Best show Family ever had.

I seem to recall this mall episode to be the scariest... but that's maybe because a lot of people say that. I can barely remember the episode itself.

I do remember an episode where there was this bloody skeleton in a school pool. That thing freaked the ##### out of me.

[preventerWIND]

I never said DEAD. I said WAS, meaning when it WAS airing. Now I can't find it anywhere.

[Mikero]

Are You Afraid Of The Dark? was on YTV.

The mall episode had the guy in a sort of video game type scenario. Eventually he got enough points or whatever to use a special gun (that was clearly a Super Soaker 50 painted silver) and killed the bad guy with it. In the end, you heard a ca-chunk and saw a giant silver ball coming down towards him as everything restarted. Ended with the realisation that he's IN a pinball game.

Wasn't the creepiest for me but was one of the better ones. The vampires moving in next door freaked me right out for the longest time.

The one with that red pool skeleton was good too. About as good as the one in the fire station where the kid looks into the flame and that like releases the fire spirit or whatever and it burns the ##### out of everything.

Another one that creeped me out was the one in which Amanda from Ready Or Not/Trance from Andromeda was getting babysat or something and there was this big black figure that would come out the walls and junk when no one was around because the house was built wherever it was built. Something like that.

[ASR]

AYAOTD was so awesome. I remember almost all of those that Mike listed off, too. Memories, man. Especially the red pool skeleton.

[Vinchenz Rock]

YES

I AM HAPPY

I found the entire series up for download!

YEEEAAAAH

AAAAAAH

I JUST WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE

The memories literally rushed through my head! I remember watching this episode sooooooooooo long ago!

"Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society... I call this story: ..."

YESSS

Also, what's weightless, can be see with the naked eye, and can make a barrel lighter?

[Edgecrusher]

Tony Jay was the pimpest voice actor ever.

Ever.

[Orange Devil]

Did you guys ever play that one game where your Dad locks you in the closet for several days and feeds you stale cereal under the door?

[Chron]

You got cereal?

[Orange Devil]

I think that's what it was. But in retrospect, it tasted alot more like those little sugar packets that come in a new pair of shoes.

[Chron]

I bet you were a thirsty boy.

[Mikero]

I didn't know shoes existed until I was seventeen.

Also, what's weightless, can be see with the naked eye, and can make a barrel lighter?

A hole?

[Vinchenz Rock]

MIKERO REMEMBERS

[ASR]

No, it's just an easy and overused riddle.

[Mikero]

No, I remembered.

[ASR]

I was just testing you.

[Mikero]

I remembered mainly because I never care to remember riddles at all but for whatever reason that stuck in my mem, even the kids figuring it out I can still picture.

[Orange Devil]

My friend Dana has all 91 episodes of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" on DVD.

You guys wanna hear the worst Laffy Taffy joke that I have ever gotten? These are the exact words:


When was meat so high?

[spoiler]When the cow jumped over the moon.[/spoiler]

[Edgecrusher]

Mine was: What does a skeleton put in his sandwich?


[spoiler]Boney Bologna[/spoiler]

[Orange Devil]

What happened to the wind?

[spoiler]It blew away[/spoiler]

[Mikero]

I think Edge's trumps any lame joke I've heard.

[Edgecrusher]

I got that when I was seven years old, it made that much of an impression.

[Johncarllos]

What happened to Wind?

[spoiler]He blew away[/spoiler]

Fixed.

[Mikero]

Yuck.

[preventerWIND]

Yeah? W-Well, you blow GUYS JC!

[ASR]

Laffy Taffy jokes are some of my favorite things in the world.

[Orange Devil]

Because of this topic, I had a dream last night that I ate a bunch of Silica Gel. My mouth dried out, and whenever I would drink water it would just get sucked into the gel. I had to drink like nine glasses of water before I was better.

[ASR]

I'm absolutely terrified of eating beef jerky in the dark because I'm convinced I'm going to accidentally swallow the "Do Not Eat" packet.

[Orange Devil]

That's a good thing to say when someone asks you what your fears are.

Eating beef jerky in the dark.

[ASR]

HA.

[Johncarllos]

YEAH!
LETS POWER UP FOR 4 EPISODES STRAIGHT WHILE THE OPPONENT JUST STANDS THERE DUMBFOUNDED!

[Majikn]

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

[Fatso]

HEY CUT IT OUT SOMETIMES THEY TALK TOO HUH?!

[Johncarllos]

DON'T FORGET THE 2 EPISODES OF FLASHBACKS!

[Majikn]

VEGETA! WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?

[Edgecrusher]

Abort.

[Mikero]

Thank you.

Anyway I think it's awesome that the guy from Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and Student Bodies is on The Weather Network now. I mean, I can't take any of his stories about, say, CFL teams training on a real grass field or a turf field based on the weather seriously because I'm standing there wanting him to have said "Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society..." first, but it's still cool.

[Majikn]

Abort.

It'll never happen again.

Anyway I really liked those Short Circuit things, for some reason. But they always ended early because I guess they were just filler on YTV and they cut off when a commercial or show needed to start.

Maybe they intrigued me because they kept freaking cutting off and I rarely got to find out what actually happened.

How's that for a trip down Memory Lane?

So many things didn't exist back then.
