Nibbs XXIV (Page 70)

Took three trie before we saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" without falling asleep. 

Good list!

although I haven't seen Say Anything

"as you wish"

I totally loved Dead Poets Society.

"Captain, Oh my Captain"

Twas neither, must confess, it was me.

Do you always begin conversations this way?

Oops!  I guess I missed that post

it was a nice little walk down memory lane - LOL!

WOW!!!! Chatty group this morning....

80's huh?  Well, we didn't get a VCR until about 1987... we only had two places in town to rent movies (one was a pharmacy) and we didn't go to the theater often....

BUT...  the one movie I DID see in a theater (and I can't believe no one has mentioned it )

THE GOONIES!!!!!!!!!!!

How can ANYONE forget THE GOONIES?!?!?!?!?!?

So what did I watch if we had no VCR and didn't go to the movies (well, we did have HBO)

Pretty much I was a sitcom kid....

Growing Pains.... Cosby Show.... Facts of Life.... (what was that one with Rick Shroeder and the train in the house???)

Oh, and of course...

ATARI!!!!!!

I AM the queen of PITFALL!!!!!!!

Silver Spoons

You got me there.  I didn't get a gaming system till I got to college  I did have a friend down the street that ended up with the Nintendo Power Pad, though.  

Okay, time for me to get back to work...

Getting nervous...
I have a BIG health fair in two weeks and hardly any vendors

Yeah, I still haven't learned how to play any of the new games....  I miss just having a joystick and one button.... I don't get all the different buttons????

YUMMY!!!!  I have division "retreat" today
Sandwiches in the park.... when I really need to be pounding the phones for vendors

OH, BTW.... have you tried "cajun" sushi????

Dirty Rice, Crawfish, tomatoe and hot sauce.... pretty funny looking stuff for the regular sushi eater, but fun if you have a sushi rolling party at home

Our Atari 2600 worked until I was about 8.  I played a lot of PacMan and Megamania.  Loved it.

I guess they'd call it the etouffee roll.  Sounds delicious.

Well... Columbo (Peter Falk) was reading a book in that movie.  That sorta counts.

umm.... no....  I don't think etoufee when I eat this roll...  I believe it's because of the dirty rice and not using white rice.... 
Okay.... so this roll actually came about one night while we were having a "roll" party... I took some crawfish out to actually use....  then we ran out of rice.... but I had leftover rice dressing in the fridge (dressing made with eggplant and pork)....   yeah, it was interesting, we all laguhed at first... but then it did taste pretty good   Problem is that the dressing didn't stick too good, so you had to have it on the inside of the nori.

umm... don't remember Megamania... we had skiing, pitfall, warlords, pacman (best friend next door had Ms Pacman), missile command, night driver, the one with the battle tanks????, and a bunch more I can't remember....  Our Atari worked until....   Hum.... it might still work, but we left it behind...  didn't play much after my sister went to college.... no one to play with

I 'just missed'

Sesame Street

Video games (well unless you count Pong)

Pacman

MTV

I still remember my parents talking in piglatin about buying our first color tv - LOL!
