Okay, first of all, that thread about the worst movies you’ve seen in theaters down below is awesome, and proves that there’s a lot more lurkers here than I originally thought. Maybe we should make these kinds of polls and surveys a daily thing? At least it’d let you talk about more than whatever new article there is on a particular day — in this case, Fisher Price’s Pocket Rockers, the miniature tape players from the 80’s that let kids listen to Debbie Gibson in super style. You could wear the players, you could wear the tapes — you could wear pretty much everything contained in the collection, and for my money, that was a much more poignant selling point than hearing two tracks from Tiffany.

Hey Bright Noah, those drum sticks you were refering to we called Hit Stix. I never owned them but was insanely jealous of my friend who had them. I mean, who doesn’t dream of banging on air and makin noise?

I can’t remember the name of those for the life of me…….
