My Dad used to watch Jake and the Fatman; it would bore me to tears, so I would retreat to our MS DOS-based computer and type lines of letters, because we didn't have any games for it at that point. Had to go to Dad's office to play Wheel of Fortune....wow, that's a really pathetic story. I think it's based on one memory, actually.

@gleeb0278 I was a DOS kid too, and knew how to boot up games and run programs by the time I was three. My favorite game was Classic Concentration.

I had the yellow rake, the bucket, and possibly the beach ball.

Those were worthless to me since there were no beaches where I lived.

I'm not sure if this was the same toy or not, but I remember going to the beach with my parents, getting hungry at some point, and then driving over to the nearby McDonald's with my dad. I got a happy meal with a yellow rake and a packet of marigold seeds. I wanted to plant them right there at the beach, but they had to explain to me that they wouldn't grow in sand.

Come to think of it, my little brother still owes me a trip to Marine World! Last time we went he crapped all over himself and we had to go home...granted he was two but the pain still lingers :(

I had the yellow bucket and the inflatable boat. Those were the days when McDonalds gave away some good Happy Meal prizes! I also remember getting a jacko lantern bucket for tricker treating and a green pencil box. I want a time machine to take me back to the 80's.

@mattone: No. He's actually what was in a McShake ages ago.

[MattTheSaiyan]

@siegeay I'd seriously watch a channel consisting purely of old McDonald's commercials.

[mattone]

I never understood... Is grimace a giant, fuzzy mcnugget?

In any case, Oh god nostalgia.

[hagiadzo]

So, Channel 7 ... bedbugs cause venereal warts? Now I'm scared!

[jenzeppelin]

@jenzeppelin I meant what a shame about how he is NOW, not the fact he was coherent then! :)

[jenzeppelin]

Oh man, Jeff Conaway seems so clear and coherent in that ad. What a shame.
