Default The Radical Toys of the 80's

So... today, I was looking at some Jem and the Holograms stuff... and thought about other things I enjoyed in the 80's... Of course, The Smurfs, Jem and the Holograms, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and She-Ra had me totally mesmerized... but what about all the little flashes in the pan. Any of you remember THESE babies!?:D LOL :D Oi. Memory lane, much?

Using a shitty RDP connection with low resolution = I can't read a fucking thing you just typed in that color.

The title looked interesting and I wanted to read it. I guess I'll have to wait till I get home

I need something better than logmein my refresh rate sucks at high resolution

LOL I used to have a set of battle beasts that I got from a dollar store, we used to have impromptu skirmishes in the art department with them, they would actually shoot plastic spears and stuff, perfect for chastising an annoying art director or wayward pressman.

Whatever version of IE that comes with Vista, however I'm using a 3rd party program to access my PC at home from work due to this site being blocked so pretty much everything looks like it's in 256 colors and it sucks
