Re: What's Up With The WR Position?
My childhood was quite typical. Summers in Rangoon. Luge lessons. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten.
There were two versions of Electric Football. One was called "Electric Football" and had, I think, generic yellow or blue players. The other was a licensed NFL version which generally came with the previous two Super Bowl teams. I believe the year I got the game these were Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. I then mail ordered the Redskins and Cowboys. I could never pass very well and certain players would just circle insanely. Then I lost all the little foam footballs. I think I got Intellivision the next year or so after that, which of course was the state of the art in video game sports at the time. I think my big play was 9727 or something like that. It was a sort of sprint option right. Another good football game I got in about 1977 was called "Foto-football". It's too hard to explain what it was, but it really helped me understand the rules of football as a six or seven year old.

Re: Favorite Toy (formerly known as 'Sup W/ The WR Position?)
My Lionel train set that I got for Christmas, L O N G ago. Only had three cars and a caboose (red) to go with the engine. My Mom threw it away when I was in college. Saw the identical model priced at $1,200 in a hobby shop !!!
Today, my favorite toy is my cruiser on the Chesapeake Bay. It costs a lot more than $1,200 too.

Re: Favorite Toy (formerly known as 'Sup W/ The WR Position?)
Anyone else rock some Masters of the Universe? The homoeroticism of Prince Adam and He-man just could not be ignored!
Skeletor and Hordac were my boys though. I DO remember those M.U.S.C.L.E. men. I still have about 100 of them.

And Daseal, BATTLEBEASTS?! I DEFINITELY remember those, I just could remember what they were called and I've been wondering the past couple of years what they were since I still have a bunch of them stashed away.

Re: Favorite Toy (formerly known as 'Sup W/ The WR Position?)
i got bored one day a couple years ago and made a ton of m.u.s.c.l.e men out of about two pounds of strawberry starbursts (after about 2 of them they start tasting nasty)... total waste of time, but it was pretty funny splatting them around. exact match on the color too.

Re: Favorite Toy (formerly known as 'Sup W/ The WR Position?)
Snake Mountain, LOL I forgot what that thing was called, yeah the mic was pretty sweet. I used to spook myself out with it.
No I didn't have Hordac's hideout... speaking of He-Man can you believe there are Masters of the Universe forums?! Check it out http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/index.php |
