[QUOTE=smootsmack]I still have my berenstein bears books. Actually my dad had taken them to his office (he's a pediatrician) when I was a kid because he figured I was done with them. So when I was around 21 years old I was helping him move into a new office and I took all the books back home! Screw the sick patients!! I also liked the Sweet Pickles books collection.

Anyone remember 3-2-1 contact and the bloodhound gang?[/QUOTE]

Does anyone remember the Choose your own Adventure books...You read along and it said if you want this to happen go to page 54 or if you want this this to happen go to page 123. I had a bunch of them...i think around 50 or so.

Also I was/am a big lego collector...At first it was the old school space legos. Now I am collecting the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Legos.

they're making a star wars lego game for all 3 major consols (atleast the x-box)

lego's ruled cuz there was so much crap u could make with them like fake guns or giant swords. plus u could make a car out of them and then smash it down the stairs or something and not break any of the peices.

god, i had nearly two metric tons (excues me, tonnes) of legos growing up... damn swedes...

Anyone else remember M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Command)?

yep, i do... what a weird thing those were...

That's a great site. I can't believe how many of those movies I've seen and remember. The Breakfast Club was one of the greatest movies coming out of the 80's. "Can you describe the ruckus, Sir?"

Use the science we spit here to drop some knowledge on your peeps. (there's some old school lingo for ya!). And you'll impress the ladies, who'll think you're some sophisticated older man who can wax philosophical on such wide ranging topics such as why they changed the actress who played the mom on Family Matters on the last episode of a 9 season run.

Oh, and by the way the best Rocky, other than, Rocky I-IV I would have to say would be Rocky IV, "If he dies, he dies!" A close runner up would be Rocky III. Rocky V is a total joke.

Oh yeah, dont forget about Mr. John RAMBO!! Rambo 1 and 2, the best. "I'm your worst nightmare!"

My first celebrity crush was absolutely positively Ali with an I from Karate Kid (Elizabeth Shue, not Elizabeth Schutte).

But I was also quite big on young Lea Thompson from Back to the Future. Not Loraine circa 1985, but Loraine circa 1955.

Re: Official I Love the "Insert Decade" Thread
 

Speaking of the 80s, here's some little-known facts about Chuck Norris:

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

When Chuck Norris has sex with a man, it is not because he is gay, but because he has run out of women.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Chuck Norris can kill him and take it.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

If you ask Chuck Norris what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till." After you ask, "Two seconds to what?" he roundhouse kicks you in the face.

Chuck Norris only masturbates to pictures of Chuck Norris.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

Chuck Norris appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this "glitch," Norris replied, "That's no glitch."

Re: Official I Love the "Insert Decade" Thread
 

More Chuck Norris:

Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Filming on location for Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris brought a stillborn baby lamb back to life by giving it a prolonged beard rub. Shortly after the farm animal sprang back to life and a crowd had gathered, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the animal, breaking its neck, to remind the crew once more that Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't @#%$ with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of "beard". Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of Jesus' obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.

To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.

Re: Official I Love the "Insert Decade" Thread
 

More Chuck Norris:

There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris does not have AIDS but he gives it to people anyway.

Chuck Norris uses ribbed condoms inside out, so he gets the pleasure.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

Chuck Norris once lined up to kick the winning field goal of a high school football game. When the football went flat, he persuaded the referees to let him kick the field goal with a 3 month old child. Chuck roundhoused kicked the baby 60 yards through the uprights and then proceeded to bang every girl in the stadium.

The original theme song to the Transformers was actually "Chuck Norris--more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris--robot in disguise," and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and could turn into a pick-up. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

Re: Official I Love the "Insert Decade" Thread
 

And a little Mr. T:

They say when a bear is chasing a group of people, you don't have to outrun the bear, but only have to be faster than the slowest person. If Mr. T is chasing you, you're dead no matter what.

There are only four horsemen of the apocalypse, because Mr. T is going to walk.

Mr. T once rocked the Casbah. Which explains why there is no longer a Casbah.

Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest. The result was the 80's.

Mr. T doesn't feel pain; pain feels Mr. T.

In 1989, Mr. T systematically killed every member of the band "MR. MISTER" for stealing his first name.

Behind every great man, there is a great woman. Behind that woman is Mr. T.

Mr. T's incredible greatness has been attributed to the fact that his genetic code doesn't have any A, G, or C. His genetic code is in fact, nothing but T's.

Mr. T was fired from the Psychic Friends Network for always predicting pain.
