you didn't grow up watching the cartoons and playing with the toys, that's why

There is a nostalgic factor that draws people to watch the movies

I was about 8/9 years old when they came out. I was in their target market.

When I said I don't see the appeal of them I was talking from my childhood too.

hmmm okay.

I don't know they were pretty badass, I had several of them.

I had the original die cast Optimus Prime that was heavy as hell and could knock out a friend that was getting lippy.

I'm pretty sure I used Prime as a weapon a couple of times.

I was a cynical kid.

I hated He-Man as well because the cartoon looked like one long commercial for action figures my parents couldn't afford.

I was a spoiled little brat that got all the toys I wanted.

My favorites were Transformers, GI Joe action figures, I had a He-man but didn't play with it much.

Thundercats and Voltron toys, I was still missing one of them to make the arm though.

I hated how they would gate the Voltron toys, they would sell all four in your area then the last one would be in limited supply or you'd have to drive a few towns over to find it because they have a large supply but lacked in another area.

when the Transformers cartoons came out, I was already too old for cartoons

in fact I skimmed over the first movie, but sneaked a view of my bro's DVD when he wasn't around and i was hooked

when i was a kid, i played with Star Wars "dolls"

today I woke up feeling like somebody kicked me in the ribs. so glad this wedding **** is over, my aunt turned into a bridezilla. also, open bars are fine if you wanna wake up next to a sexy stranger who decided to leave you covered in hickies. some women are freaaks hahaha

I started putting together an advance health care directive and living will. You never know when it will come in handy.

Might as well go ahead and do a pre-need funeral plan while you're at it. That way your family doesn't play Celine Dion at your service. Just saying.

free as a bird
