Personal Top Lists & Rankings

Everyone had them and everyone loved them 😍

Bad Seed said:A little secret... man, it took me a second to remember what that was. 😬I haven't heard about that in roughly 7 trillion years.

I'm eating it right now. 😁

I absolutely hated Bronchi when I was a kid—shout out to whoever the marketing genius was that came up with that name. Today, it’s actually pretty good.

Hey there! Just dropping in to say hello. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. kaže:
😱
Honestly, this constant mutual back-slapping is getting a little ridiculous. It’s becoming quite tiresome.

Honestly, I have to say, the idea of us all wearing forum merch is actually pretty great. It would be such a fun way to spot one another out in the wild. Imagine walking through a crowded mall or grabbing coffee in downtown Chicago and spotting someone rocking the same shirt. It’s a simple concept, but there is something genuinely cool about that kind of shared connection. It turns a digital community into something you can actually see in person. I think we should definitely look into making it happen. 🙂 🙄 That's just awful. 😁

You’d be better off wearing forum merch than showing up to a Rammstein concert. 😬

In your world... you're the one who decides 🙏

I am actually going to die from this!!!

5. Tuljan (back when my old man went to Scandinavia a few years back, I basically begged him to bring me a plushie octopus—first he lost his mind thinking I was crazy for wanting stuffed animals in my twenties, but he ended up getting it for me anyway... honestly looks freaking realistic and it's still the best plushie I've ever seen, let alone owned)

There are some really cute plush octopuses for sale at this toy shop down in the basement of an important gallery. They’re actually spotted, so I’m assuming they’re supposed to be sea leopards or something, but the tag clearly says octopus.

Don't get the wrong idea, though—collecting stuffed animals isn't exactly my main hobby or anything. But I have a niece 😍 who is absolutely obsessed with plushies. Guess who her absolute favorite one is... 😳 And yeah, being the obsessive guy that I am, I can spend hours scouring shops for the perfect one. I've gotten smarter about it now, though; I don't wait for a special occasion anymore. If I see something cool, I just grab it and save it for whenever it's time to give a gift...

Alex Rogers91 said:Oh, man, you're totally right!!!!!!!!! How did I not think of that?!
You talking about that Hordak guy who shoots those weird rotating devil things out of his chest??
Man, my personal top 5 goes like this:

2. KING HISS

special mention—RAM MAN, who I basically traded Prince Adam and Cringor for.

I don't think that's the Hordak I mean 😢

What the hell are you talking about with King Hiss! If you ever tried to take him apart, his arms would just keep falling off constantly...

Ram Man is the GOAT! 🙏 🙏 🙂

But seriously, check out the Jokers: those stone guys were absolute legends. Did you even look at the names on that link you posted? It was Rokkon or something like that.

Ugh, this forum is so ugly that I always forget what else I wanted to add, gah!

Michael Newman50 said:Not Jack: those stone guys were actually the law. You didn't check the names in the link I provided. Rokkon or something...

I checked. Rokkon and Stonedar are meteor people. I'm leaning towards Stonedar. And that lizard guy with the long arms is basically a snake called Ssssqueeze.

My ultimate top 8 toys

1. A soccer ball
2. A basketball
3. A tennis racket
4. My BMX bike
5. Bow and arrows
6. A slingshot
7. A blowgun
8. That DIY foosball table I built

Honestly? I always hated stuff like Legos, model trains, or those remote-controlled cars... they were just so incredibly boring and exhausting to deal with🙂 😬

My top 5 childhood classics/games

1. Klis
2. Ćize-blize
3. Marisana school vs school (back when Brotherhood Elementary School absolutely wrecked Alija Alijagić Elementary ), though man, we really only pulled that off once.
4. Boba
5. Picigen

My top 3 street skirmishes: Joe Biden vs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and the local gang
1. The summer of '89, when we were basically at war using water balloons made from freezer bags. I remember some tourist dropped a 2-liter bag of water on me from a fourth-story balcony. Pure chaos.
2. Summer of '90, when I finally went on the offensive against that same tourist. This time, I retaliated with such a barrage of makeshift projectiles that you could have filled several 2-liter bottles with the sheer volume of what I threw back.
3. Also in the summer of '90, there was this BMX race through the woods that spiraled into a massive brawl. It ended with someone getting hit in the head with a hairbrush—and let me tell you, that actually hurt.

Top 3 neighborhood beefs in the same city but different districts: Brooklyn vs. the local kids near the park:

1. That '89 cap-shooting war. The whole point was looting caps if you actually hit someone. I snuck up behind one kid and swiped his entire stash.
2. Around '91, it was the race using those fake skateboards and rollerblades.
3. Around '92, playing baseball on the basketball courts over in the suburbs.
4. Every year when the berries were ripe: we'd use slingshots loaded with wild berries. It hits just like an air rifle.🙂
5. Kicking the outsiders off the playground: we'd climb up to the 8th floor and pelt them with whatever we could find. I remember one guy even throwing tiles off the roof that day.🙂

(More popular) games:

1. Card games - betting with comic books
2. Knife throwing
3. Target shooting

Man, the ultimate move. Respect. 🙂

I used to love those old superhero teams. Especially that one magic lady with the wings. Zoar, right? Anyone else remember the name of that green hairy guy?

What about Victoria?
To me, the law feels more like a constant struggle...

Nicholas Perez33 said:So, what’s the victory look like?
The whole "grind" thing is my idea of a win...

We used to call that just playing the field—rarely a real win.
Honestly, that "grind" is probably the greatest triumph in sports history. It sucks when you actually show up to the stadium and realize you don't know a single soul there, so they just kick you out because you didn't make the pre-game arrangements...

Back then, we just called it eight down below.

Sandra Chase16 said:I used my Barbies for all sorts of experiments—using their bodies as little parachutes dropped from the top of skyscrapers, or just targets for my toy guns... by the end, one of them was basically scalped with a plastic knife, such a useless little toy

but that’s why I still hang onto my favorite old toy truck for hauling my Matchbox cars and teddy bears (both of them are ancient, just like me)

hehe, I've still got some Barbies and a little excavator tucked away in storage too😬 🙂

Anyway, maybe those kids raised in the middle of a big city like NYC won't really get it 😁, but have you ever actually had your face smeared with crushed leaves from a weeping willow tree? 🙂
