    Rubick's Cube. That's a good one. I peeled all the stickers off and replaced them and got in trouble by my Dad. (Well I was only a kid.) Personally I thought it was quite creative.

  • Cartoons:

    He-Man
    She-Ra
    Transformers
    Voltron
    Thundercats

    All those kick ass...period...

    Valerie, just put the 5 cartoons above in your blog. You'll have, like, 1,000,000,000,000 subscribers in a day...

    Then you can write an ebook about getting 1,000,000,000,000 subscribers in a day, sell it for $197 a pop, and be filthy rich and retire on your yacht and beachfront mansion in Aruba.

  • 80's crazy dance moves, new wave, and of course, the first annual MTV awards where Madonna sang Like a Virgin on stage, doing the unthinkable and left the audiences' jaws on the floor. Television has never been the same way again.
  • I used to love the Thundercats and He-Man.

    At least back then, those cartoons had a moral at the end of the story which taught you something. Today's cartoons' morals are to go out and buy our trading cards/video games/comic books. *sigh*
