Please Mr. Dickinson, but must you start banging? How is a man to sleep?

Where last I left off, some serious character assassination was going on. Claudia was out of her mind and not even describing crazy outfits. Then she went with Abby and Stacey to learn about the birth of our great nation.

( Forgive me, Dr. Franklin, but must YOU start speaking? How is a man to stay awake? )

You know what you don't hear about much anymore? Contests where you can win a shopping spree and then you have ten minutes to fill a cart with whatever you want. We need to bring those back, or else all my childhood hours spent strategizing were for nothing.

YES YES YES. I watched that show all the time as a kid and wanted to be on there so badly, never mind that kids never showed up on the show. Pushing a shopping cart equals adult power, right?

was there a toy one on nickelodeon? at the very least you could win some kind of drawing and get to go to a toy store. me and my friends would spend forever arguing about how it would work, and someone's older brother said you had to go to the most expensive toy and just get a fuckton, then sell them all and buy the other toys you want. and whenever we went to the toy store together it was like running recon. "dudes how are we going to make this work. this is all legos right here you gotta skip them, and these super soakers too."

man the nineties was a confusing decade.

The nineties were confusing. I'd say they were better than the last decade, but that's a bit of my nostalgia showing.

Nickelodeon Super Toy Run? That's what Google's telling me. I found this blog post on the topic but don't remember having watched it myself.

ah he also called it a reconn mission! i feel so unoriginal. but YES THIS IS EXACTLY IT i want it in my life again. here is the promo:

I am glad to know I didn't make this up, because it seemed very ludicrous to me as I was describing it and no one's talked about it for like, fifteen years.

thtsgoodsquishy July 27 2010, 13:06:16 UTC

No, I totally remember this too. Ludicrous? The correct word is AWESOME.

Now I want Target to bring this back, because you'd have toys plus a crapload of other stuff. Who wants to start a letter-writing campaign???

...I feel better knowing that I wasn't the only one who planned that stuff out.

Hand to god, I occasionally dream about being on Supermarket Sweep.

Oooooh me too... every time I go shopping I have my fantasy about the mad dash I'd make around the store to grab the things I want. WHY DON'T THEY PUT STEAK CLOSER TO CANDY.

glitterberrys July 30 2010, 21:25:19 UTC

something i always wondered about ss...did they let you keep the groceries you'd nabbed?

also, looking back, food way WAY cheaper when they made the show. $120 of groceries seems like NOTHING now, but it was like ten carts of the most expensive stuff then.

buggrit_1979 July 30 2010, 21:27:33 UTC

idk man, $120 would buy me a fuckload of 10-for-$10 tv dinners even today.

glitterberrys July 30 2010, 21:36:30 UTC

haha maybe my tastes are just uberexpensive. (that and i live in nyc - just like stacey! - so everyfuckingthing is insanely overpriced)

buggrit_1979 July 30 2010, 21:38:19 UTC

Yeah, my tastes are generally higher brow than TV dinners too, but if I only had $120 that would be a great way to stock my freezer.

I live in a Minnesota suburb so stuff here is pretty cheap as long as you don't smoke.
