Super Fuzz

This is a movie I desperately wanted to see but my mom wouldn't let me. I put it on my Netflix Queue but it has mysteriously disappeared. I thought that bullet catching bit was the coolest thing ever way back when.

Evel Knievel Motorcycle

For a kid in the 70s, Evel Knievel was a god. He was right up there with Mohammad Ali, KISS, and Neil Armstrong. I had the motorcycle seen in the commercial and I couldn't for the life of me get it to land as consistently or as nicely as it did on TV but I still had a blast trying.

Smash Up Derby

#298 on the list of toys I desperately wanted but my mom would not buy.

Pitfall

A double feature today. I don't think I've wanted anything more than I wanted Pitfall way back when. Tony and I would go to Video Hotline and pester them for a rental copy that didn't exist every day for a month or so until finally I did something good or my parents just got sick of me asking for it and took me over to Toys R Us to get a copy which we played endlessly in my dungeon of a basement. I think I may have even taken a picture of my high score to mail in for a Pitfall Harry patch at one point.



As a bonus, a related video reference only Tony will appreciate.

Gigglesnort Hotel

We'll start with the clip that inspired this whole thing.   I was bumming around Youtube at home one day and found a clip from a show my friends and I used to watch called Gigglesnort Hotel.  Here's the opening.
