I never got into these, but I had a couple of friends that did.

They were a rip off of Wacky Packages.

I adorned many a note book and bunk bed frame with those.

But, to your point, Chapo, the 80s is probably the only decade in history (minus the trannies now) where boys and girls had the exact same hairdos. Just horrible.

Don't forget the neon clothing and guyliner.

You'd see someone in the mall thinking it's a chick. Follow them for a bit until they turn around and you find out that you've been checking out a guy.

Garbage Pail Kids, right?

I used to collect them in middle school.

Yeah, no pussy hand brake. You just slammed on the brakes by stopping pedaling.

I bet those poor kids with the hand brake were afraid to drink out of the garden hose.

It was a friction pull brake mounted next to one of the rear wheels, no possibility of flipping it forward

 

[Irving Cowboy]

I did not know that existed. I had to look it up. You're probably right.

Oh, and on another 80s note, I mentioned the Tasmanian Devil in passing the other day and my daughter looked at me like I made it up.

Does she know that there’s an animal called the Tasmanian Devil?

Does she know that there’s an animal called the Tasmanian Devil?

I highly doubt it. We have watched lots of nature shows but if it was on one of those I doubt it stuck with her.

Nah, like I have said many times before, I way outkicked my coverage. I do not deserve this woman. She has put up with way more than she should have dealing with me.

This show was the best. And it was on regular TV.

As have we all.

This brings up an interesting generational topic.

I remember my mom saying she thought Mr Rogers was good because it was so calm after Sesame Street could be kind of loud and chaotic.

But I didn't watch Mr Rogers because I thought it was boring.

I don't believe this nonsense for one single second.
