Topic of the Day - 6/23/08

Today's topic of the day is brought to you by OmniGlobaMegaCorp the letter T and the number 6!

We shall discuss a thing from childhood which fills our tender hearts with nostalgic joy

Knightmare. I still want to ride on that god damn dragon.

The majority of my childhood is an absolute mystery to me.

Pasta salad reminds me of my childhood and summer parties in my backyard in Queens, so it fills me with delight to eat it.

Sitting in Granny's house, all summer, playing games like X-Com, SimCity 2000, and Civilization II, on my PS1, eating cucumber and cheese sammiches and drinking soda by the gallon~

Eating vanilla ice-cream cones and/or drinking lemon soda always reminds me of my grandpapa. We would always get those two when we were at his house. Ah, the memories.

Pogs and Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Pokemon. Specifically, hacking Pokemon Blue so that I had some mad hax Nidoqueen at level 256 or some shiet. One of the few times in middle school I got any respect

Ew Nidoqueen.

Um let's see. Mario 3, Super Mario World, Mario RPG, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Mega Man 3, lots of other ones. Animaniacs. Old Simpsons episodes. Home Improvement. Tiny Toons. Et cetera.

Our house in South Africa remains one of my favorite places -- we had large gardens, ponds with fish, a swimming pool, a lemon tree...I remember playing pretend with my uncle who used to watch over my sister and me. He'd always let me be Aladdin =)

Orange Fanta, Magnum ice cream bars, little convenience shops that sell random little things, hammocks, the sun... English cartoons dubbed in Polish... my summers were filled with Poland. I miss those days but it's never the same when I return. I guess I am too big.

Fuck yes. The game on the Amiga was a beautiful thing too. Well it was a Eye of the Beholder rip off but you know. When your guys died you could use their hearts as fucking weapons man.

Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Bobby's World, Life With Louie, Beetleborgs, Power Rangers (the first season, THE GOOD ONE), Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star...Doom (the PC game), Super Mario Bros 3, Legend of Zelda...Those plastic turtle things that could be either a sand box or a pool...

Oh, so many memories.

Hey Arnold! and Rocket Power, definitely.

Hey Arnold, definitely. I have a million of jokes with my friends whenever we mention Hey Arnold!

Legends of the Hidden Temple, as well.
