As An Adult

"Take the fall! Act hurt! Get indignant!" - solid coaching advice. Join Meg & Sarah for another ill-informed discussion about sports. This week we travel back to 1992 to watch the REAL "miracle on ice." A hot-shot lawyer goes on a journey of self-discovery by being forced to coach a hockey team (who can barely skate) all the way to winning the championship! Quack...Quack...Quack...Quack

Before there was American Ninja Warrior, there was Legends of the Hidden Temple. Riffing off Indiana Jones, Gladiators and the reptile room at the zoo, Nickelodeon's 1993 hit game show starred kid contestants competing to retrieve "the artifact." Culturally appropriated? Sure. But who doesn't love watching white guys in scary "temple guard" masks get decked by the terrified kids? 

Can Atreyu stop the Nothing from destroying Fantasia? Was Atrax being swallowed by the mud as traumatizing as you remember? Was it wise to use your wishes to terrorize bullies instead of bringing your mom back from the dead? All of these questions and more will be answered on this week's episode. Listen up! 

Anne M Martin penned this iconic 90's series for young baby-sitters, teaching all of us about friendship, integrity, entrepreneurship and chutzpa. Thank goodness Claudia had a landline! And candy. So. Much. Candy. 

Imagine being in the writer's room for this pitch:

Aliens run struggling theme park in outer space. Aliens decide to kidnap The Looney Tunes and make them perform at the theme park. Looney Tunes challenge aliens to basketball game. So the aliens take the talents of 5 NBA players then Looney Tunes realize they need some talent. Looney Tunes kidnap ACTUAL MICHAEL JORDAN by...sucking him down a GOLF HOLE. They play the game. Looney Tunes win. Aliens decide to move to Looney Tune Land. Oh, and Bill Murray is there. 1996 was weird, kids. 

I hate the way you talk to me

and the way you cut your hair

I hate the way you drive my car

I hate it when you stare 

I hate your big dumb combat boots 

and the way you read my mind 

I hate you so much, it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always right

I hate it when you lie

I hate it when you make me laugh

even worse, when you make me cry

I hate it when you're not around

and the fact that you didn't call

But mostly, I hate that way that I don't hate you

Not even close

Not even a little bit

Not even at all 

It's TGIF!!! This week we reminisce about our favorite lovable geek and the family he forced to fall in love with him. 

Welcome to Bluffington. Today we hang out at the Honker Burger to chat about Doug and everybody's dream girl, Yoga Jones...er, I mean, Patti Mayonnaise. Doug aired on Nickelodeon from September 1991 - June 1994 and then on ABC (after being acquired by Disney) from September 1994 - June 1999. Ok, so Doug isn't the most exciting title character, but Roger sure is fun to hate on and who doesn't love a guy who journals??
