Sick movies
posted on Mar 5 2010

I got ill Monday and Tuesday of this week. In my sickened state, these are the movies my clouded mind chose to select via Netflix Instant Queue. I love them all.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
The Labyrinth
Caddyshack






BONER!
posted on Mar 1 2010

This was the saddest moment of our day. On the way back to the train station we stumbled across a posting on a light pole for Andrew Koenig, the actor who committed suicide in Stanley Park.

Seriously. Just wait. But I couldn’t find the triple deke (the childhood Gordon Bombay one, or Charlie’s winning shot).






Bravestar On Hulu
posted on Dec 31 2009

NO idea how I missed this, but one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Bravestar, is available for free on Hulu.

“The heck is Bravestar?” you may ask yourself. It’s a cartoon about a space cowboy. Seriously. And it’s the coolest.

After 700 episodes and 17 seasons, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has called it quits.






Revisit Sears’ Christmas Wishbook
posted on Dec 12 2009

You sat on your livingroom floor as a child, circling the items you wanted, dog-ear-ing the corners as you flipped furiously.

Now, do it again.






Home Alone Marathon

Thursday on FX, everyone’s favorite Christmas classic plays all day.

Fuller… stay away from the Pepsi.






Disney’s Halloween Treat
posted on Oct 28 2009

This gets posted every year on the blog, and for good reason: it made my Halloween as a kid. I’d rush home from, even cut short, trick-or-treating simply to watch this program.

I loved this crap as a kid.






GUTS

Attention Nickelodeon ‘GUTS’ fans, you may now follow Aggro Crag on twitter.

If you know can decode the following tweet, you win at life:

Olmec just called me - his health insurance won’t cover his TMJ - they said it was a pre-existing condition






Behind The Bell

Anyone read the infamous Saved By The Bell book?






Childhood Weekday Mornings Revisited
posted on Sep 25 2009

After filling myself on This American Life, Netflix felt the need to suggest The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. How the two are related I’ll never know.

[Disclaimer: I was home, sick. I don't normally sit around, looking to relive my childhood via Netflix; that's what YouTube is for.]

Anyhow, like many of you, I used to watch this Emmy Award-winning show each morning over breakfast.






Pee Wee Is Back

Thanks to @CatherineGailUp for tipping me off to Pee Wee’s twitter, @peeweeherman.






Book It!
posted on Sep 1 2009

Going back into the old school files. Anybody remember ‘Book It!’?

I can remember the anticipation of waiting by the counter at Pizza Hut for that small peperoni pizza. I’d think about that free pizza with every turn of the page in my book.

T-Bone. The Christian Rapper.
posted on Aug 6 2009

At the age of 14 I was truly convinced that no other Christian rapper could write and preform a song this good.






Where’s Screech?

Saved By The Bell on the cover of People magazine.

Here he is.






Wonderwall
posted on Aug 3 2009

Moment of reflection here, folks. Wonderwall by Oasis.

Reminds me of being 15-years-old. All of my older friends had their licenses and we’d spend our weekends driving around town, staying out of trouble (seriously, we were probably too tame), going to Waffle House at 2:00 AM, sleeping on the floor at each others’ houses only to wear the same clothes again the next day.

Who ever wanted to “be done” with high school anyway?
