I can give you no such information, and I resent you for implying so!

Alright, you whipper-snapper! Who were Mike Douglas, Virginia Graham and Phil Donahue?

I'm 32 ya know... i actually saw Star Wars in the theater when i was 2. It was the first movie i saw. Mike douglas is the guy from Romancing the Stone (remember that aweful billy ocean song for that movie... blughhhh), Virginia Graham... i'll admit i had to google her and I STILL don't konw who she was... had a show from 70-72... about 3 years b4 my time (strange though bc i konw Laugh In... one ringy dingy... lilly thomlin rules), and Phil donahue... are you KIDDING!!! what child of the 80's didn't grow up with is parents watching that poofy white haired doof every morning at 9am.

Mike Douglas was a talk show host in the 70s. Michael Douglas was in Romancing the Stone, Basic Instinct and played Gordon Gecko in the movie Wall Street. Still married to hottie Catherine Zeta Jones.

Man i suck! lol... damn dude yoru not even really that much older then me either. CT is like an altered universe anyway... we have crap no one has EVER heard of.

Some of my favorite old crap:

Wacky Wall Walkers
"V"
The powers of Matthew Star
Mail Order Aliens (the little hermit crabs with antennae and crap glued to them)
Stompers (still can't find mine Sho)
16 ounce long neck soda bottles
marbles
Mask (Venom and Rhino were my favorites)

I was more partial to Transformers... Megatron actually... that toy was a JOKE though I couldn't believe how let down i was the first time i turned it into the robot... still better then gobots though.c

I was addicted to Goldorak (don't remember how he was called accross the pond, Grandizer ) when I was like 6 years old, I still own one from Bandai, it rocks like Erich, but isn't my Daddy like Jim

Megatron was a flimsey bastard. The barrel broke on mine where it swivels.

Ah, young grasshopper, you still have much to learn.

Who is the baby on this forum? I know there are several of us in the 30's and a few in the 40's. I have seen a few 20 somethings but do we have any teenagers in here?

One might think Halgar and I were teens by reading some of our posts. But I am 34 and I know Halgar is at least 96 (anyone to turn Pam Anderson away has to over 95 and limp ).

I am sure someone here is of High School age. Who wants to admit it?

I'm 32.

Ya thats where my Megatron broke too and i just kept sticking it back on. And those stupid leg hinges... how over engineerd were those things... only part on that thing that was metal and hinge in two places to guarentee he just BARELY stood up on his own!

Pammy MAKES me limp! But you have to admit, for an 95 year old, I can still keep up with you young bucks!

Speaking of which, I could have used a couple of you at trivia last night. We had a "name that cartoon character" segment where we had to identify 12 characters. I got 3 of them, and knew where half of the rest came from but not their names.

The ones I recognized were the dog from Family Guy, the bad guy from Aladdin, Speed Racer's girlfriend, the blonde dumb guy from Over the Hill (or whatever that redneck cartoon is ). There was a gray dog that looked kind of like Scooby Doo. And who was Porky pigs girlfriend?

Porky's girlfriend was Petunia Pig. I'm 34 and I know that.

Pammy looks like she's been ridden hard. But hell, I'd go for a ride...it's probably like borrowing a well broken in baseball glove.

I think the gray dog was Scooby Dum, Scooby's cousin



I had to google both. I don't remember that stuff
