Like totally freak me out...
I, like alot of people enjoy reading those "You know you are (insert location/age/time period/et cetera)", and I came across a "You know you are a child of the 80s when..." and pretty much enjoyed it (Care Bears, My Little Ponies, bad clothing, Molly Ringwald) until I game to one particular listed option towards the end:
"You wanted He-Man and She-Ra to hook up"
Like EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! YUK! YUK! YUK!
Okay back in the day I was a huge He-Man fan. I had all the collectable toy figurines AND I had both the Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain Fortress sets. I was pretty into it.
When I was like eight or nine my mother gave alway all my He-Man action figures and Castles and give them to some friends kids. I don't think I have ever forgiven her for that. Nor the Original Star Wars Figurines my Aunt swears she gave me, but I honestly don't remember ever having.
Heck, I have even saw "Masters of the Universe" when Courtney Cox was pre-"Friends"!!! (Though I have to admit it sucked). Even back then it looked like the horrid mangled love-child of "The Dark Crystal" and "Superman" with none of the good stuff that made those two movies great!.
I remember when I was five years old, a breakfast cereal was doing some sort of cross-promotions by sticking stickers of the characters in the box. For weeks and weeks on end I kept getting Evil-Lyn! I could never get a different sticker! I always week after week I kept getting Evil-Lyn! My neighbour kept getting Ram Man stickers, so at one stage we swapped.
Of course I have so many memories from He-Man. Like I always thought Evil-Lyn was a much cooler character then The Sorceress who I find even back then to be drippy and to much of a goody-two-shoes. These days I look at Evil-Lyn and think she must of been what Matt Greoning was watching the day he invented "The Simpsons" since she is yellow and looks like one!
Also I hated Cringer/Battlecat and thought he was a waste and who's only use was to be served with gravey and a side of vegetables on the dinner table. Also I couldn't stand Orko either. I wanted to use him as a dish rag or hang him up on a wire hanger (just obviously not at Joan Crawford's place).
Heh, those where the days.
Of course back to the original reason as to why that "You know you are a child of the 80s when..." was so gross, cause in case you couldn't remember, He-Man and She-Ra where BROTHER AND SISTER!!! And unless the producers wanted to only appeal to those in Eastern Kentucky, it was bloody likely never going to happen!
Hmm... now after all this... I want my Damn Action Figures and Castles back! Argh! I am so pissed with my mother!
