Nice list – A National Acrobat may be my favourite Sabbath song

But not THAT Harper…

Yeah, I mean, I love KISS, but Thin Lizzy are on a whole other level.

The Toronto Star is still pretty reputable (although I don’t read it so much now that they’ve put up a paywall) and The National Post is a terrible paper that looks fantastic.

There’s a good chance I missed it in the 800+ comments, but has no one else mentioned Sean quietly slipping in the “Old Man Yells at Cloud” reference?

Not disagreeing with you @hoodedjustice:disqus , but I think the point was that a lot of us were tossing it around on the playground before we really understood what “gay” meant. Doesn’t make it OK (and it’s a word I haven’t used in over 20 years) but in a lot of cases it wasn’t intended in a particularly hateful…

Coup Fourré!

Yeah, we always played with free-for-all wheeling and dealing which is likely what lead to six-hour-plus marathon games filled with crosses and double-crosses and broken allegiances and ended with everybody hating each other.

We had an ancient copy of monopoly from which all the original tokens had been lost so we re-used the tokens from Clue. I was always Colonel Mustard. Oh, and then the Clue knife got broken so we used a Lego sword in its place.

That’s not in the rules!!

Do you have any pills that give worms to ex-girlfriends?

I think I had a couple of those stuffed animals too, but I’m talking about the little plastic figurines with interchangeable cars/big wheels/wagons etc.

Those McDonalds Muppet Babies toys were the best fast food toys ever made… I found a couple of them in my parents’ attic a few years ago which have now been passed on to my Muppets-obsessed 3-yo daughter who plays with them all the time.

My wife’s maiden name was “Tweedy”, so naturally her nickname was “Tweedy Bird” growing up and she inadvertently acquired a lot of Tweety memorabilia, including a big ass sticker that is still stuck to the dash of the beat-to-shit old Civic I now drive everywhere. So yeah, I have to do a lot of explaining whenever…

Some genius. He’s obviously got the money to order all that shit out of the ACME catalog, why doesn’t he just order a damn pizza?

I’ll have you know I only clicked on the link above because you used one of my favourite insults (although I’ve always been partial to “north end of a southbound camel”).

You gotta start buying better socks, dude.

Y’know they’re not mutually exclusive…

9/10 for me, although about half of those were guesses.

I’ll throw in with you on this one, @avclub-b9a8f4af85454f7c56c06f0a39e7ec23:disqus – I don’t recall ever listening to his Top 40 (he may not have aired on Toronto radio? I know I listened to a lot of countdown-type shows in the 80s, just don’t remember Kasem), but Scooby Doo was a huge part of my childhood.
