Um...didn't think much about food in the '80s


That's what I thought too until I realized that I actually did: the ritualistic pizza every Friday night, my obsession with Doritos when watching videos, my craving for Mexican food after trying it for the first time, chili my dad used to make every Saturday, and so on.
I also recall when frozen yogurt was the latest craze. I bought some whenever I could  Bluesad

Come to think of it, there was a little Italian deli near where I worked that we'd go to for lunch.  Best meatball sandwiches in the entire world   TeddyR

My mom used to make some awesome sandwiches too - sourdough bread with lots of meat, lettuce, cheese - Mmmmmm   Thumbup

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
