musings a go go

If anyone has about 10 minutes to spare, you should watch this collection of 80s commercials. The genius from youtube that put this together is great!

Remember one of my first blog posts of the old Chuck E. Cheese? You may remember that I have a fear of "asleep" or "dead" audioanimatronic characters--well, thanks to youtube, someone videotaped a walk-through of a closed Chuck E. Cheese from 1983. Check this out. Spooky!

Since this commercial from the 80s, Chuck E. Cheese has gobbled up Showbiz Pizza and Discovery Zone (remember the commercials from the 90s, "I'm DZ for Discover Zone!"?

Well, let me put it this way, I will have a lot more time on my hands--LOL. I was working almost 12 hour days and thus have been neglecting this blog. My parents finally got DSL and I showed them the magic of YouTube and along the way found some jewels from the past that really bring back memories. I want to talk about Sesame Street and PBS for a minute. Not the way it is with Elmo and all that, but the way it was when I was little. We didn't have cable, and the only children's programming that came on during the weekdays were on PBS. Oh, how I used to rush to the TV and turn the dial to 13! Thank God for PBS in the late 70s and early 80s! I'm going to post some videos that really were a part of my childhood and just hearing and seeing these stir up so much that it is amazing what I remember. The music and cartoons of these videos make me think that it is no wonder so many people my age experimented with drugs! Just take a trip down memory lane with me.....Just cut and paste since I'm having trouble posting these!
