    @Wookie1972: Sorry. I also read your comment in 21's voice and it made me laugh.

    The Adultswim site has them up for a while (maybe a week) after the episode airs. #halloween

    No problem. The reason I use the picture of 21 as my avatar is to remind myself (and everyone else) not to take all this fanboy stuff so freaking seriously. Of course, I can't say I always follow that myself. #halloween

    I don't celebrate Halloween but since people ask all the time "What's your costume gonna be?", me and my sisters started to make up costumes. Last year, we were Red Sox fans (Just wore our hats). This year, she's "Under-Emotional Girl" and I'm Alternate Universe G-Juggler".

    *P.S. I think I lost my star. Can anyone help find it?

    This is one instance in which I'm glad I was already too old to play with these things by the time they came out. Your slumber party experience sent shivers down my spine.


    Although we have a Simon around here somewhere, it's my husband's, must be from about 1981.

    I remember I wanted, like, half of these (of the ones that existed in the late '80s and early to mid '90s), but mum would never buy them because she'd only buy cereal when it was on sale and if she had a coupon. :(


    Actually, she still does that.

    I'm torn between going downstairs for a big bowl of cereal and never eating cereal again.


    I've always been a LIFE cereal guy.


    My name IS Mike, (though not THE Mike) and indeed I do like it. :)

    WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THE BILL & TED CEREAL?!


    I'm pretty sure every box is past its sell by, use by, and expiration dates now. Who do I have to kill to get a time machine so I can stuff stuff related to stuff from my childhood into my time machine?


    Maybe my grandfather? But he is dead already... better get a time machine. Let's see. How to get a time machine? I know! I'll need a fresh box of Bill & Ted cereal!
