wow... thanks folks I was feeling somewhat chipper 'til I read all of this..
My friends and I would spend the entire day in the woods down by the river... just running around.. playing 'army' (bb guns, low pumps no headshots) riding bikes.. whatever.. and never ever did it cross our minds to be afraid (except for when it was getting dark out
.. stay off the Moors...that movie still kinda freaks me out) the thing that I was wondering though.. are there really more psychos/perverts etc. now than there were then or does it just get more press? (scaring people sells papers..)
ah. saturday morning cartoons.. everynow and again I lament the lack of decent cartoons, I mean some of the newer ones (samuri jack, powerpuff girls, animaniacs etc.) are good.. they just don't hold a cande to the old hannah-barbera (sp?) looney toons cartoons.. or the original 'land of the lost' (eek! sleestax!) and sigmund the seamonster.. H.R.Puffinstuff (yeah, not cartoons.. but surealistic enough they might as well have been).
mmmm.. dry cereal... boo-berry...
