A comment on the StumbleUpon page reviewing my “Look at my boobs! I am very smart!” post, which was on feminine oversexualization:

(with a thumbs down)

“From the page: “look at my boobs! I am very smart!” i couldn’t see any pictures.”

Which is a gleeful reminder to me of all the “boob” traffic that heads here to deep disappointment each day.

MegFowler.com: Building you up to knock you down. :)

Well, at least SOMETHING to tie together a toilet paper ad and early Kevin Bacon films, besides possibly the extent of fluff involved and the close relationship with… well… crap.

But the ACTUAL theme for the rest of the week here at the ‘Com is Things We Were Obsessed With As Kids.

In my case, two of those things were fluffy television kittens and Kenny Loggins kickin’ off his Sunday shoes.

For you, it could have been Transformers or an EZ Bake Oven or a BB Gun or Lego or the stone you used to write on the cave walls. Especially since the age range of people coming here stretches from 15 to 83! And my dad, somewhere in the middle.

So…

1. What stands out in your memory as the favourite toy of your childhood/early teen years?

2. What song do you remember listening to repeatedly as a kid?

3. What item of clothing sticks out for you as something you a) wore too often and b) didn’t wash enough because it was so cool and you had to put it on every day?
