homeschoolmom Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 [quote name='Pope St Clement 1' date='Jul 7 2004, 08:38 AM'] Did you go and see it again? [/quote] No, but I saw TESB and RotJ... and I didn't understand a thing!!! I didn't like the creepy ewoks, either... EVENTUALLY, we rented them all (a couple of years ago)... and now it all makes sense... sorta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Michael Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 (edited) I'm 32... I can remember Bananas and Dynamite magazines, Zoom, the Atari VCS (Yep, it was called something else BEFORE it got the 2600 name), the "Superfection" game, the Choose Your Own Adventure books, and a fancy handheld electronic game called Merlin. My parents still have the Merlin game at their house... and it still works, though half the lights are burnt out. I remember when cell phones were called "car phones", were the size of a can of Pringle's, and were only available at Radio Shack for around $1,000.

Moosey Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 [quote]Is it a mature look that you have, do you think?[/quote] It must be because I dont act like a 20 year old. My sister is like "Katy stop acting your age you look 20" I get a kick out of that. People must think I have something wrong with me I know I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 We took my little cousin to see E.T. and she cried in the theater and all the way home because E.T. couldn't stay and had to go home. My brothers took another younger cousin to see Star Trek: Search for Spock, and he embarrassed them by singing "Gremlins, gremlins, bite after bite!!!" at the top of his lungs.
