re: Similar childhood memories that most us have

I went without TV for six months to get the opportunity to buy $30 worth of He-Man shite. The triceratops was involved.

I was allowed to watch Superman or Superman II during that six months, and that's it. It had no influence on my decision to marry my ex, so it's worked out well.

I also busted the f@*$ out of my head while watching Peter Pan. I got driven to the emergency room and got more than five stitches in my forehead, with no Anesthetic, local or otherwise, as I watched the curved needle come towards my face. That was nice.

Oh, I nearly forgot about getting chemical, heat, and electrical burns on my hand at the same time during the Christmas holiday on base overseas. Peeling burnt skin off of my hand while soaking in a Hydrogen Peroxide bath is not great as a kid. But I'm also not a pussy.
