This blows. There are a shitload of servers that are supposed to be down for 24 hours, and mine is not on the list. I think this sucks be cause my server is messed up and Blizzard probably won't get it fixed in the normal time which means more issues. I am seriously considering cancelling my account, and finding another game. Anyway the Fraternity is becoming a hemroid on the ass of my life. Too much bickering, too little doing. I know I'm an alumni but I spent over 5 years continuously building this organization, and I slowly see it slipping away. It start when I was still member, and we had fundraising issues, then it plateau, and now it snowballing. I think I'm just gonna quit my job, go back to school, and be an active again. Anyway, thinking about the past got me thinking about other stuff that used to exist but no longer does. Here's a short list:
Skidz- essentially these were pajama pants people wore during the day, so comfortable though
IOU sweatshirts - remember these? I think my mom still has 1 or two.
Muncheechees -This was a cartoon about little talking monkeys that lived in a forest in the clouds, I think it went off the air in 1982.
M.A.S.K - The cartoon, supposed it stood for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, yet whatever. The coolest thing about this show was that 1 guy had a mask, and its special power was the...Penetrator. Yep thats right the maske would cause him and anything he was attached on to vibrate really fast, and it could pass through solid objects. This was on for like 6 seasons, so obviously no one got the sexual connotations.
Z Cavaricci's - Repopularized by AC Slater, these pants/jeans got really tight at the top like a corset, flared out, then tappered back in at the ankle. This was the age of fashion retardation.
Boy's Life magazine - IF you were a Boy Scout, you got this every month. Something I never realized till about 3 months ago, after finding 1 in storage. This magazine, so issues anyway, taught kids how to make weapons and bombs. Like the frog spear. 3 sharp 6" metal barbs attached to a stick. Back in those day though, you never heard of kind spearing another kid because he stole his tennis shoes.
There's probably a shitload more I could write, but I'm tired. So here's the question, what do you remember?
