I think you still can get the box sets for these shows, I remember on another fourm someone posted these old shows and posted a link where you could order the seasons for really cheap, I bought a few from salute your shorts whenever I have nothing to do I pop it in and it makes me feel like a kid again.

Jerkin' off for the first time and my feet almost gave out.

Thinking that Napster was some sort of wizardry that my friend had created.

Thinking the "Benz" was a model of Mercedes

Asking my dad, "what company makes the Sedan?" (I thought Sedan was the name of the car :confused: )

I remember when going to Worthington or Westerville was far away, and when there was no Polaris, and Polaris Parkway was being built and it was a huge deal (dad managed the Kroger on Rt.3 and Maxtown)

 

Seeing one of Bobby Rahal's last races

Shining Time Station...ftw. George Carlin!

Thinking my mom's black Iron Duke Firebird was awesome (still looking for it, actually)

Schoolhouse Rock, Fragglerock, the Muppet Show, G.I. Joe(+firecrackers), Transformers, Smurfs, Snorks, Pepsi in glass bottles, Mountain Dew in glass bottles and sneaking it cause Mom wouldn't let us have it because it had "too much sugar" lol, playing Tron at Dane Drug, playing Golden Axe at Michael's Tavern, and nobody gave a crap that I was nine and unaccompanied in a bar, learning how to catch crayfish from our pet raccoon Mischief, coming home with buckets full of crawdads and frogs that Mom had to drive a mile back to the river to let go, skipping rocks into the Chevy some moron had driven through a 1/4 mile of forest to drive off the bank into the river, jumping the fence to get to my best friend's house, climbing four stories up the maple tree in the front yard, flooding the sandbox to get good wet sand for sandcastles, teasing the little Scotty next door, Grey Murphy building a BMX ramp in his back yard, kittens being born in random spots around the house...
