Anyone remember Muzzy? It was to help kids learn a foreign language or something. What I always remember from it, is this monster saying in a warbled muffled horrorvoice "Mrrumpph mrphmm... mruumphh mrpmm" and it cuts to a girl who "repeats it" (???) as "wish lee lazim bee" or well, I don't know, it's in French or something.

je suis le jeune fille EDIT: I remember Muzzy (god, that name aged poorly. When did that become a slur for Muslims or was it already one and they didn't think it through at the time?) having a very deep rumbly voice. Still coherent enough, but I'm not sure you want goofy voices involved when you're trying to teach someone, let alone a child, how to properly enunciate and speak a foreign language.

Yes, that's French those children are speaking, but they're not French. ...They're American.

Despite looking like a cast member of the Golden Girls, I bet that woman is 35. That pleated dress, perm, and set of pearls is certainly a look.

And today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the soundtrack to The Matrix. Really covers a drastic change in mass-marketed ‘alternative’ popular music in the five years between those two.

I liked the Netscape Communicator Suite because it had all the internet stuff in one big package, with these cool collapsible toolbars and stuff. Felt very office-y and grown up. I think I ended up leaving it for Opera, which was blazing fast at the time. I didn't want to pay for it, so I put up with the ad they placed in the toolbar. For a bit I used MSN Explorer because of that nice, neat sense of completeness, similar to how I felt with Netscape Communicator. Sure it was designed for the elderly, but there was a time when how a piece of software felt to use was part of the fun. doctorfrog has a new favorite as of 02:39 on Apr 8, 2024 |

in the 90s Netscape was the scrappy underdog good guy fighting the good fight against Micro$oft nowadays Marc Andreessen is arguably a bigger, worse dork than Bill Gates

I can't find it now, but when I first started using Netscape (that my mom BOUGHT! On FLOPPY DISKS! From EGGHEAD SOFTWARE!), the throbber wasn't even that, it was just a blue beveled Times New Roman N.

 I brought this bad boy to a squirt gun showdown at Tim's house and quickly realized the Super Soaker arms race was already in full swing and I was severely outgunned.

You never see kids play with water guns anymore. I guess these days they use fpv drones to fly water balloons directly into each others bedrooms.

I had the huge double-barrel backpack that held like three fuckin gallons of water and a firehose that would shoot that poo poo real far. The problem is, I'm a kid playing with water in the summer, so I'm shirtless, getting sunburned, and those straps rendered my shoulders like fuckin hamburger. I only wore that thing a single time, and it hurt to put a shirt on for weeks.

At least a small chunk of SuperSoaker's 1990s fortune had to be because my high school let the honors students have an all-day picnic and water gun fight at the back of the campus by the football field. You couldn't let yourself be outclassed.

I only wore that thing a single time, and it hurt to put a shirt on for weeks.  I wanted to get the Super Soaker 200 but the 300 debuted so I saved up for like two months to get it instead. Immediate regret, I wished I’d gone for the 200 all along. In retrospect, however, I think the 100 may have been the best combination of power, capacity, and compactness, the platonic ideal of aquatic warfare.
