A friend pointed out that I was wearing an 11 year old t-shirt today :(

Its from France '98.

(That would be the world cup for the people who don't do football).

Anybody remember Punky Brewster? If I recall correctly Punky had some real life condition that caused her breasts to grow to massive proportions.

Just had that happen to me- watching an NCAA b-ball game, the announcer was talking about a game in '84 or '85 and said that no one on the team was even alive back then. :Q

Sweet Mother of Pearl! Can Ewa Sonnet actually sing? And . . . does it matter?

Anyway, the comedic line, "And now for a very special Blossom!" will always resonate for me as a touchstone of intense TV mediocrity.

I blame the parents. I made sure my oldest daughter saw it by age twelve.

12? I just watched it with my 7yr old last weekend.
He LOVED it.

Pee Wee's big adventure was the weekend before... I'm thinking Ghostbusters maybe this weekend?

And usernames like yours remind me of when I was teaching about cerioid and astraeoid morphologies in Paleozoic colonial rugose corals to my paleontology students (though I think yours is probably related to starfish systematics).:)
