QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) guys, i created a thread in SLP, let's move the toy discussion over there for mucho fun. Good call, I'll move stuff...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) Love or hate Kenny Williams, the one thing you can always say is that this dude tries everything to win today. This is about 80's toys not KW.. *don't hit me*

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) You know they're making a new Transformers movie? Also, there's another TMNT movie in the making, as well as a trilogy of Smurfs movies. Cartoon TMNT?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Here's a complete picture of the backpack/trap assembly. And seperate weapon, which I still happen to have. The 2nd one looks like something I might've had. Man, just goes to show how much better toys we're.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) When I was a kid, Transformers were all the rage. Of course, as I do today, I went against the trend and collected Go-Bots. How's that working out?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) I loved wrestiling figures. I had the ring and everything, even some belts. And not those big ones either. The ones that were made of hard plastic and about four-five inches tall were the best. As I said above, wasn't a big fan of the plastic ones. Did you ever have one of the wrestling buddies?

We're awesome... or crazy. Over 650 views in less than 90 minutes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) My favorite collection of toys is the professional wrestler figurines my brother has. The sad thing is that about half of them are dead now. The good ones? In the 80's, WWE, then WWF used to have these rubber or whatever they we're figures that we're like 6 of 7 inches tall and they kicked serious ass.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) That is awesome. I could've been the coolest kid on the block, but NO~!

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) Comcast's earlier sports show at 6:00 said to be sure to watch for Bruce talking about Griffey in the 10:00 show tonight. I swear this better be some solid information. If Bruce comes on and says he cleared waivers and the Sox are still trying to get him, which I think everyone knows by now, I'm going to be upset.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) not a bad idea Oh snap, I want a cut of the money since it was my idea...

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) i was born in 1978. i have most of the toys from the 80's in the garage. What are you doing here then? Hop on ebay and make some cash.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) Assisting the sidetracking of this thread, I have to include the ghost trap. Remember how it had an extension where you could press a button and it's plastic flaps would open? I found it a few years ago in my attic and foolishly threw it away. That s*** probably has value. Well, if Bruce is going to be on Comcast at 10, then we have time to kill. Toys we're so sweet back in our day, and now it's garbage. Santa must've f'd me over here because I don't recall the trap or the backpack deal.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) i had the backpack w/ the gun attached where a plastic pink thing would shoot out (the ooze) I don't recall anything like that, sounds sweet though.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) we need griffey to have some sort of presence in the middle of this lineup. he'll play DH yes, but also maybe be able to give pods/rowand/dye a day off when needed as well. Both him and everett will get plenty of ABs A lot depends on Scott. I think they'd be better off letting him DH to save his legs and Griff could play LF, but no need to think that far ahead just yet.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. Getting Griffey would be like getting the Turtle Bus, back in the day. Man, I loved that toy. Oh, that takes me back. Going back further if I may, did anyone have the Ghostbusters stuff? I had the car, the station, and the people, it was cool.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) Did he say it was on the radio? Maybe it was on CSN No clue. Might have been though.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) can it be by tommorow? since i'm going and it mgiht be the last one i'm going to that doesn't include a 2 hour drive from champaign until playoffs I would like to see it right now as well. I guess I'll have to wait and see what Bruce says.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) update on what? they have had the cubs cards game on espn 1000, ive been listening for a while Don't know, I didn't hear this 'update' either.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) please don't get my hopes up......not again This can only end 3 ways. 1. He comes here 2. Griff gets hurt 3. Sept 1st rolls in. Well one of those 3 will happen for sure, but you know what I'm saying.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) Oh f*** ya, name, avatar, sig...the whole thing. Jesus Christ I would go nuts, my favorite player my entire life. That avatar takes me back. I had a ton of those kind of pictures a few years ago. Used to have a lot of the NBA ones.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) I would do a jig, eat my hat, and go streaking if we got Junior. I'm guessing yet another name change would be in store...

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:20 PM) Builds up the audience for 10:00 SportsNite on COmcast. Is Bruce going to be on?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Of course not. Well, I guess it's more waiting.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) Anyone hear Bruce Levine's latest update. He said Ken Griffey Jr. is not on the White Sox YET, and that he expects it to happen. Oh.. Did he say why he thinks it will happen?
