| I don't think it's ugly at all. Even if you were to say it's ugly, at the very least it's distinct. Tons of rectangles on the skyline get boring. |

Yeah. That bastard has been an albatross since the 1988 olympics. Ten year old news but hey. Still kind of funny a nation of starving people is trying to build a restaurant with so many rotating restaurants. There are something like 4 in that hotel. Or would have been. |

that game absolutely rocked. we always put the rubber bands on really tight, and played from across a large room. |

I have so many fond memories of playing with He-man action figures. My brother got Castle Greyskull for Christmas. We also had Merman, Beastman, Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, and other action figures. They were big, strong, and just looked freakin' cool.

No slime pit ? No Krenger or Panthor ? No sheera ?
I grew up in dark , dark times . It's wasn't quite the �black plague� or anything ....but it was just as traumatic : The 1980's .
The worst thing about being a child in the 1980's was of course the crap children's tv shows .Try as you may , who could forget the little blue minions of hell that were �the Smurfs" ?
"Flipper" (also known as " Stupid smiling fish with a hole in it")
When one considers that Dolphins are nothing more than gay sharks , one is reminded of a certain Dolphin named �flipper� . Except of course even for a dolphin flipper was extremely gay . Imagine that dolphins had TV shows , flipper would be the blonde guy in *beep* eye for the straight guy . He'd have the technology and he could rebuild you . Dry your tears . Well *beep* you flipper ! *beep* you and your opinions on fashion !
Stupid flipper . Hey guys , I wonder how flipper will solve this weeks sea bound problem ? Maybe , just maybe , it will involve jumping high out the water . Or perhaps , just perhaps , he'll manipulate his environment using his nose . Mind blowingly it could involve a third option , flipper making annoying clicking dolphin noises . Wow , no wonder they made this show for kids . The fragile adult just couldn't handle it without mass over excitement fueled heart attacks
In fairness flipper was a �show� that ran from 1964-1967 , but thanks to S.A.B.C it was forced on my youth anyway . If it wasn't for Margot that slutty , sexy , flirty weather girl , I'd never have forgave them .
My little pony . (Also known as " Horn ass *beep* " )
My little pony wasn't a show so much a series of manipulative adverts used to market and a sell a product (I'm not actually joking) . That's all good and fine , as so was �He-man� . He-man however was awesome . The toys could do cool stuff like shag barbie and parachute . My little pony could only do crap girlie stuff like get it's mane and tail brushed . It's no wonder all you girls are so dumb with only that to stimulate your minds . I suppose My little ponies could do one cool thing , as I often demonstrated to the girls in my class : Melt . But even that they could only do once .
Then , in a cruel blow of fate I was banned from playing with fire .
Anyway , besides the toys being crap . the show was awful and basically about sex . God knows what they did with those horns .
Stupid 1980's . We should have killed it when we had the chance . |
No "Gentle Ben"? |

Ana amazing game indeed. I think the Battle Ram gave one an unfair advantage but the Trojan Horse was pretty sweet. I always found myself short on rubberbands. |
