Something to note... The Coleco's controllers were so stiff and unreliable (especially combining directions like to jump while walking) that it made Smurf "challenging" for adults and something of a nightmare for a kid on the smallish side like I was.

It actually probably *is* asthma... Some kitties produce extra mucous when their lungs are inflamed, so they end up trying to cough it out. Sometime it goes away on its own if it's caused by allergies, but most cats that have 'attacks' take meds every day to control it, since it can be fatal.

Well, given the music that was big when I was in my late teens was crap like the Macarena, Achy Breaky Heart, and very very briefly Dur Dur D'Etre Bebe (song by a 3-year-old French kid), I'm pretty sure I'll never be musically stuck back then...

@seitzmateo If he's into video/computer games, tell your son that TB is responsible for important things like warp points or time-travel, since a young man called Richard Garriott that had started a genre as a teenager also loved the film. (His history is pretty inspirational for a kid since he w...

I love this song -- it really embodies both the movie's tone and the camaraderie of the characters. I'm with the rest of you, I wish this is the kind of film we could find in theaters...it's a shame that Hollywood seemingly didn't get the memo about society turning to friendly escapist fantasy w...

Thanks for posting this -- I keep hearing it on the radio, but was having a hard time figuring out which version it was, since the newer bands' covers are getting all the attention. I bet this one was fun to dance to at clubs/bars back in the day, shame I was young enough to play with Care Bear...

That he threatened to sue for *trademark* violation shows he's bluffing his head off out of fear you'd expose him; a person can copyright original works, but trademark is a whole other issue. I'd say to use a proxy (so your IP/location isn't traced) and post copies of the full-audio version of t...

@visaman I take it you didn't notice what the sleazy guy was saying -- he wasn't giving her attention, he was making seriously insulting statements about a particular kind of employee. Try replacing "woman" in his lines with "black person" or "gay person" and see which of them sounds like the pr...

@britrob24 Same here -- I actually looked it up because I couldn't manage to describe it without sounding like I'd been on drugs thanks to the way she shrinks (besides, it's hard to convey in words just how sleazy that dude comes across)!

@Dakellymonster 90s? Heh, no...the Yip Yips & skit are from the early & mid 70s. :o)
