Do you remember the song "Supersonic", the "s" is for super and the "u" is for unique, the "p" is for perfection ......I believe that song came out in the eighties.

How about that part that NOBODY could figure out? "sama-lama-lima-lama-sama-lama-lima-lama....yeah , yeah, that was it" LOL I used to love that part of that stupid song!

ok, i was with you on the Press Your Luck thing, but you kinda lost me on the taping a show with no VCR...it's all good though

In a nutshell you tape movies and shows with a regular tape recorder located near the TV instead of having a regular VCR. So you have great sound, but no video. An ACR (audio cassette recorder) if you will.

Yes indamndeed. I do remember that. Hell I learned my spanish numbers from Sesame Street. What about that box that use to close and open in Spanish, Obieto... Cerrado. Those were the days...

What about when Sam Malone (Cheers) and Dan Fielding (Night Court) were the biggest players of all time...

What about those Super Hero cartoons with the Hall of Justice and the Legion of Doom.
Not to mention some guy who narrarated the whole story for you in case you didn't know what was goin on...

What about those THUNDAR the Barbarian episodes.

What about MANIMAL. That guy that could turn into any animal.

And yes, last but not least, the GREATEST AMERICAN HERO. The white guy who use to fly all flicted and always crashed into something when he landed.

7. You played Duck Hunt and Track and Field with the Nintendo Power Pad

I am having so much fun:

I damn sho had the power pad. You were supposed to run on it. But eventually you just used your hands and beat on it with you knuckles. You could run the 100 in like 7 seconds...ROTFLMBAO at work

I got a few!

Ladies, remember the bomb hairstyle was wearing your hair long on one side, but real short on the other? You had it flipped, feathered and you hair was like "butter."

Wearing headbands, you know the cotton stretchy ones.

Playing "Off the Wall." Either you or somebody threw the ball against the side of a building and you had like ten other kids in the back of you tryna catch it?
