He then locked access to his forum after a mini-invasion of lefties. A quote from him back then (probably deleted elsewhere): Doug TenNapel, 2003-odd posted:My nationalism is moderate not extreme.

He's also extremely homophobic which I found out from reading the forums on his webcomic Ratfist. Sorry for the mini-derail, but yeah, it always sucks finding out that people whose creations you like are secretly bad people.

So Kurt Cobain died on this date 18 years ago. Nirvana truly was the apex of 90s grunge. Not the first or even the best, but they really defined it and were marketed much more than anyone else.

Here's one-- do modern kids even watch A Goofy Movie? I loved it when I was younger (and the show on which it was based), but I wasn't under the impression it had joined the Disney canon. A kid today watching A Goofy Movie would be like our generation watching Xanadu. Or The Warriors. Or anything with Michael Beck's feathered hair.

A group of 8th grade boys covered "Polly Want a Cracker." It got a gym full of countrified, backwoods Georgia kids to headbang.  Those men who spent the night, they really weren't your uncles. And there was no such team as the "Do-me Babies." My late night teenaged weekend TV viewing was devoted to reruns of Duckman.

I always wanted to watch this during its original run, but we didn't have cable. A few years ago I made it through a dozen or so episodes, but it felt so incredibly '90s that I lost interest. The humor felt like it hadn't aged well at all.

TGIF on Friday nights. Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Family Matters, and Boy Meets World. We would order pizza and eat in front of the tv. Also Chip and Pepper on Saturday mornings. Maybe more 80's but Today's Special. I still love watching it on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTlW0g_W4Eo

Anyone else remember that one time Garth Brooks wanted to write some songs in a different genre and so he created a fictional dead alternative musician, like you do, and recorded all the songs in-character as him, and even planned on making a biographical film before the project bombed spectacularly?

I was watching some Iron Maiden concert videos on Youtube earlier, and came across this gem -- a clip from the 1993 "Raising Hell" TV special that was Bruce Dickinson's last performance with Iron Maiden until his return in 1999. Due to some horror magician providing extra theatrics for this show, it was also utterly ridiculous even by Maiden concert standards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77MKMlEGtLE Wikipedia has a pretty good summary: "The band played on stage in conjunction with horror magician Simon Drake, who ended up "killing" Dickinson in an Iron Maiden torture device, "amputated" Dave Murray's hands on a table saw and "killed" members of the crew and audience." For the sake of everyone involved, I hope they didn't expect people to think this show was anything other than hilarious campy poo poo.

Rude Dog was sort of a clothing line before it was a terrible cartoon show (thank christ that Big Dog never got that far, ugh). Seems like there was a brand called Rad Dog too, but without any kind of tubular jiggly-lined neon pink logo. I could be wrong though, I can't find any evidence on page one of my Google search, and I don't give enough of a flip to go beyond that.  the dude with the 'tude, in the mood to be rude (guess I'll kill myself now) e: The cartoon came out in '89, which is goddamn close enough in my book. The '90s ran from 1987 to 2000

A couple things I never owned but my friends did because their parents weren't totally mean: BK Ratch Techs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvWTBo3TIWk KAWASAKI NINJAS RULE KAWASAKI NINJA'S COOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiGIq-rZ4Ak Cut 'N Style Barbie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVRUcju54nw To be fair, everyone agreed this one turned out to be lame: after you cut her hair off you replaced it with some terrible velcro mullet weave. It was more fun to just visit that one girl with a million regular Barbies and chop up those instead, which isn't exactly exclusive to 90's kids. Also, did anyone else's schools ban TrapperKeepers? They were always strictly forbidden throughout elementary and middle school. In fact, I seem to remember a supply list in high school that also said they weren't allowed and that was a while after the fad ended. Never did find out why exactly we weren't allowed to use them.

I read somewhere not too long ago, schools banned TrapperKeepers because kids would keep opening and closing the Velcro closures they had, and it was really distracting. Teachers got pissed, TrapperKeepers got banned. I never experienced this myself because I graduated in 1980. We had binders with the 'pinch-proof' plastic rings that opened and closed with a slider thing.

I got lucky and picked mine up years ago right before the price spiked (megazord for 40, dragonzord for 25), though to my everlasting shame I've lost some of the pieces and the boxes in a move. If only I'd been more careful; I can't believe how much they go for now.

I bet kids still watch Mary Poppins, not that The Goofy Movie is Mary Poppins level material or anything.
