Micronaughts -- FTR, never sexually attracted to any of them.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

mikey ... i dont think that means your old i think that means you grew up in the 80s.

i remember all that stuff and im only 25. i feel older than that due to starting a family at a young age sometimes, but i don't think you even get seasoned until around 40.

[SimonM]

Did I mention when young peopel irritate you? I can't rememebr.

Als, when you seem to get asked the same dumb questions by the ever escalating waves of kids.

"Nirvana, who the hell are they? Were they like Nickelback or something?"

Aargh!

I don't even bother mentioning:

Sisters of Mercy
Bauhaus
David Bowie
Pink Floyd
The Doors

to kids like that. The fact that I have started calling teenagers kids is also telling.

[KC Elbows]

I am shocked that Big Jim with kung fu grip has not been mentioned.

[mickey]

KC Elbows,

Big Jim as well as Big Jake were mentioned. They never had the kung fu grip. That was G.I. Joe.

Scott,

Matchbox cars were probably the most overlooked cars. They were pretty good.

Johnny Lightning cars were my favorite die cast cars because they exemplified the term "cool". They were always cold to the touch. It was like walking around with an ice cube in your pocket.

Corgi Cars were probably the most expensive.
