Only if I can chronicle the whole story on the AI subforum and tell everyone that I approached several national HQs with code names like Puffalumps, Pound Puppies, My Little Ponies, and Garbage Pail Kids.

what? no Care Bears or Treasure Trolls?

Care Bears would be way too obvious!!! :D

so I'm assuming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wouldn't work then either?


heroes in a half shell

exactly. The point is to be discrete. Besides, I always throught trolls were gross looking. And they never wore pants. I never really understood that. I always try to leave the house with pants on. It's the least I can do for my neighbors. Plus, it's a sign of good breeding.

aww but the rhinestones were so much fun and magical! and couldn't they grant wishes or something? I'm a bit fuzzy on the details now?


if you really want to be discreet, I recommend Rainbow Brite

Or you could name sororities after something fun like alcoholic beverages. I tried to do that with my own retro thread, then I realized I hate retro recruitment threads enough that I didn't even care enough about my own rush to actually keep writing it.

I think you could rub the tummy or the rhinestone and make a wish. It was like a creepy plastic Buddha knock-off. The only retro recruitment thread I read was that trainwreck that "Recruitment" wrote. What a fake!

And what a thread that was....

Here's my recruitment thread. I didn't take it very far.

Sigma Kappa has to be Pound Puppies because they're the best and I collected them.

But can you sing the theme song?

Sigma Kappa can be Pound Puppies. I had a Pound Puppies watch when I was little. You un-velcroed (sp?) the puppy's head and checked the time on a really awesome digital watch.

That sounds pretty freaking awesome and I'm kind of jealous. Although I did have a baby blue digital photo watch. Except that none of my pictures were smal enough to put in the watch.

OMG I totally had that watch! I bet it's in a drawer at my parents house somewhere still :D I also still have my Pound Puppies and Popples pillowcases!

I never saw the cartoon! I don't think we had it. We definitely had carebears and My Little Ponies though. The MLP cartoons rocked so hard. Especially the Sea Ponies.

Mariana has the whole first season...including Midnight Castle.

And yes, she does watch them more often than I do (most of the time:o).

MLP :D I had the toys too! I think I still have a movie taped off of Disney channel during one of their free *subscribe to us* weeks. (Whoa, I just remembered that Disney used to be a premium channel) It's the one with the SMOOZE :D

Ok, who else knows, remembers, loves.. the Wuzzles?
BTW, found this: http://www.gotoquiz.com/80_s_cartoon_theme_song_quiz I did still remember every song from the shows I watched, but I missed a lot of the 80s!

I love you for this, I could never remember the lyrics!

AAH! Popples! I LOVED Popples!!!:D

My sister-in-law still has her Pound Puppy on her bed! I had lots of My Little Pony's--including their human friend Megan and the stable/carrying case. My neighbors had the MLP castle. Needless to say, I played over at their house quite a bit. I didn't have Popples. :(

Anybody remember Kids Inc? I watched it the first year it was on RELIGIOUSLY on Sat mornings...then it mysteriously disappeared! I recently found out it went to the Disney channel after its first season, courtesy of Wikipedia(no cable til 8th grade. I had a stunted childhood. Thanks mom and dad!:p) I spent much of this summer catching up on back episodes/bad musical productions on youtube.

I never liked Stacey Ferguson then and I definitely don't like "Fergie" now.

Back then, the Disney Channel was considered a Premium (Pay) Channel so I didn't have it either. I could only catch Kids Inc and the Mickey Mouse Club during the free preview weekends.

I inherited a lot of MLPs from my sister. My pound puppy collection was all my own however. My first one was a chocolate lab named Lucy. Then I got a caramel and brown one I named Jonathon (I was a really creative kid when it came to names!) and I got a giant chocolate lab named Mitsy when I went into hospital.

Am I missing out on anything by not seeing Kids Inc.? Also I adore the turn this thread has taken.

Sorry, am I missing something here?

I thought this thread was about Badges on the moon?:rolleyes:

KIDS Incorporated!
 

I remember like Kids Incorporated but I don't remember anything specific besides the theme song now... is that weird? Yay for Youtube!
See if you notice someone famous, she's there from the first season :D
1984 Kids Inc. Theme

Neverending Story and Goonies, two more classics Oh, and I'll give you a hint, she's cute and blonde. Have you figured it out yet?

Last clue

Lets just say she's not singing about her lovely lady lumps

They did Michael Jackson too!
Last but not least, another star, but her name has changed

Ok, I could totally watch these all night. The outfits! :D

Yes

My nephews didn't believe me that Popples were real toys when we were playing scattegories the yesterday. Ha! I loved those darn things.

I remember when Hello Kitty was unknown and hard to find- everyone in my freshmen dorm had Smurfs, but I had Hello Kitty!

Hello Kitty>Smurfs

I had a blue popple. And no it has not worn a badge on the moon. Sorry.

Nice way to bring it back on topic, porkfriedrice!

Mine was pink and purple. But, alas, like pfr's it didn't wear a badge or go to the moon. Although it made a good pirate companion on my waterbed.

Are pirates on waterbeds a good idea?? Oooo . . .Johnny Depp would be! Never mind!

My friend and I always used to play pirates and shipwrecked on my waterbed, because it felt like being on the ocean. Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure how that worked, because the water would have been IN the boat, and when things went "overboard", they went on the floor OUTSIDE the bed, where there was no water.:confused::confused:

Easy. You were pirates in Oppositeland.
