They form the entity that will turn your mind to pureed butterflies and powered toast man sparkles, otherwise knows as Shaba The Nineties Guru and the Mike The Nickelodeon Archivist.
Yes, dear readers, we have decided to team up again to bring you pearls of wisdom and peals of laughter and many, many, many trips down memory lane.
As Mike and I chatted over our Blog Swap posts last week our conversations started to drift to various other topics (as chats are wont to do) and in the midst of countless “do you remember” moments, we noticed something.
WE HAD THE SAME CHILDHOOD.
And we were funny. We decided that we could not keep this to ourselves. The world needed to experience this bag of awesome that is our virtual walks down memory lane.
Just because I know you’re now DYING to see what’s in store for you, here’s some gems from our gchat convos, which will be DIGITIALLY REMASTERED with BONUS FOTAGE and COMING SOON in extended uncut editions to A BLOG NEAR YOU!
Enjoy the teasers:
Mike: Salute Your Shorts, did you ever watch that one?
Shaba: AHHH! Of course! Camp Anawanna we hold you in our hearts
I dropped out of t-ball because practice was the same time as Hey! Dude
Mike: You. Are. Wonderful.
Shaba: Know what else was awesome?
Mike: What’s that?
Shaba: Pete and Pete
Mike: I’m Artie: the strongest MAN…..in the world…
Shaba: I’m not a big tattoo fan, but I could not not love a Petunia tattoo
that’d be like 100,000 points
Mike: Haha; I have two, but sadly she is not one of them
Shaba: Get on that man. You’d have a great pick up line for people our age range forever!
FOR-EV-ER
(any reference catching?)
Mike: That….would be The Sandlot
Shaba: Dude, did you have Dunkables?
Mike: Shit yeah I did
Shaba: They were so good when my taste buds weren’t fully developed.
Shaba: I heart Helga and her shrine
Mike: She could have dominated that silver fucking monkey
John Bishop, must have known what he was doing when he paired us up for blog swap oh-eight, but I’m sure he didn’t realize he’d be starting a PHENOMEON. Because this, this “Remember When____Was The Best?” thing? WILL SWEEP THE NATION.
You heard it hear first.
Now go check out the first full length post in the “Remember When___Was the Best?” series. And check back here and at The Corner Booth every Tuesdays for more 90’s memories!
Haha.. I thought I was the ONLY person in the world that remembered Hey Dude. Looking forward to the blog, thanks for the preview.
What about You Can’t Do That On Television with the lockers and the slime?
I think I shared your childhoods as well. I LOVED Hey Dude and Salute Your SHorts. I wanted to awful waffle (sp?) my brother – bahaha.
Awesome! I’m so looking forward to this!! It really does sound like you guys were perfectly matched!
(P.S. I always thought Michelle was far more annoying than Stephanie. And have I told you lately that DJ and I had the EXACT same hair growing up? Yes seriously. Pass the bottle of hairspray please!)
everything about this post is fab. i’m all retro late 80’s early 90’s these days.
i’m so excited for the new blog! checking it out now.
