Hijinks ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules

Shortly thereafter, people started losing weight due to AIDS, making AYDS one of marketing history's great flops. This message has been edited by rsterling78 on 05-09-2004 at 04:01 PM

ed monahan Prowler Junkie Posts: 33595 From: Cincinnati, OH Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-10-2004 10:19 PM I am going to UPGRADE to a Commodore 64 soon.
Dustis unregistered Posts: 33595 From: Cincinnati, OH Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-11-2004 07:00 AM Oh yeah - wow - I loved the C64 !! Now THAT was a revolutionary machine - how many Megabytes did it have ? (Or was it just Kilobytes ??) Compared to today's Computers with 60+ GIGAbytes ....??!!!
DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 05-11-2004 08:10 AM Back then Commodore was state of the art along with Atari and Intellivision games. Space Invaders was my favorite at the time...it's still sitting somewhere in the archives .I always wonder how my son would react to these(ancient)games now that all the state of the art stuff is available...
Dustis unregistered Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 05-11-2004 04:26 PM All right Dr. Prowler - Space Invaders - one of MY favorites as well - I don't know HOW many coins I fed that damn machine back then (before the C64) !!? Here are some more 'classic' titles: - Galaga - Defender - Defender 2 - Joust - Asteroids - Centipede - Dig Dug - of course Mrs. PacMan !

DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 05-12-2004 11:55 AM A little off topic here. This morning I receive a package in the mail from the deeep south which left me in amazement and pleasantly surprised. I open it up and find 2 CDs with the title Prowlin'the 80's-The DR Prowler Edition....from none other than Dusty. I just want to say that you are a real class act and I thank you very much for this nice gesture. Another proof that people on the P.O.a.are second to none! ------------------

rsterling78 Prowler Junkie Posts: 286 From: Huntsville, Alabama, USA Registered: MAR 2004	posted 05-13-2004 12:07 AM Here's a link to a website featuring vintage 1980s commercials: http://x-entertainment.com/downloads/ Masters of the Universe Castle Greyskull playset, the Kelly LeBrock "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful" Pantene shampoo, Encylopedia Britannica boy, and Peter "Ralphie!" Billingley (aka Messy Marvin) Hershey's chocolate syrup commercials are included. I hope it changes your life the way it changed mine.

AND you brought up an interesting name - Kelly LeBrock - WOWY - wasn't she sizzling in "Weird Science" and "Lady in Red" ?? In case anyone forgot how hot:
rsterling78 Prowler Junkie Posts: 286 From: Huntsville, Alabama, USA Registered: MAR 2004	posted 05-14-2004 12:22 AM Whatever Happened to Scotty Schwartz? Most of us remember 1980s child star Scotty Schwartz as Flick, the kid who got his tongue frozen to a pole on a cold winter day in the 1983 movie classic A Christmas Story. Schwartz was already known to moviegoers from his 1982 performance as Eric Bates in The Toy starring Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor. One year after A Christmas Story, in 1984, Schwartz would play the precocious child capitalist in the comedy film Kidco. So what happened to this early '80s child star? Believe it or not, "Flick" ended up in the porn industry! Working as both a cast member and a manager for adult film stars, Schwartz was involved in Comeback (1995), Scotty's X-Rated Adventure (1996), Torn (1999), as well as some other films with titles that would not be suitable for this forum. Schwartz has tried to return to mainstream cinema. As of 2001, he was working at his father's Baseball Cards & Movie Collectables Etc. in Westlake Village, California. Below is a picture of Schwartz (right) taken in 2000.

Dustis unregistered Posts: 33595 From: Cincinnati, OH Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-15-2004 07:18 AM 80's Cult movie of the week .....in a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a prison which houses the world's most brutal inmates. And when the President of the United States crash lands inside, only 1 man can bring him back - Snake Plissken, a notorious outlaw and former special Forces war hero who, in exchange for a full pardon, descends into the decayed city and wages a blistering war agains the captors. But time is short: in 24 hours, an explosive charge planted inside Snake's body will end the mission - and his life - unless he succeeds !
