Aboard the Keanemutiny: Poop!
http://aboardthekeanemutiny.blogspot.com/2009/06/poop.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. The SS. Keanemutiny is now docked in Plymouth, the very port from which the Mayflower left all those years ago. To my surprise the locals do not wear buckles on their hats, nor have they offered to have a turkey dinner with me, a native American. So here is a break down of the Penn group here in Plymouth: Taryn, the TA, and Christine, Kate, Tiffani, Yaritza, Helen, Libbie, Crystal, Nate, and me, the students. Yaritza then looked at her own feet and yelled "shit! I originally started...

DeLorean Travels: Water Works
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2011/01/water-works.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Sunday, January 23, 2011. With a new season of Jersey Shore airing this month, I thought it would be appropriate to reminisce about a Jersey Shore destination that featured prominently in my childhood: Water Works. On a side note, I also stumbled upon a description of Water Works on Domain of Death. And found it severely lacking, so I thought a write up that included proper names of the rides was needed. Now, on to a description of the rides. Finally, when I ...

DeLorean Travels: Halloween McNugget Buddies
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween-mcnugget-buddies.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Friday, October 29, 2010. In the spirit of the season, today I'm featuring the Halloween McNugget Buddies. Brought to you by McDonald's. McNugget Buddies originally debuted in 1988 with the introduction of the 4-piece McNugget Happy Meal. The original MBs were not Halloween themed, but rather, civilized contributors to society such as a policeman, a mail woman, and (of course! Image: http:/ www.sydlexia.com/mcnugget buddies.htm). I give these toys an 8 out of...

DeLorean Travels: August 2010
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Today we steer away from board games and wrap-up August with one of my favorites: Fashion Plates. What was so great about the Face Fashion Plates was that it came with eye shadow and blush. I was a big fan of applying copious amounts of blue eyeshadow to the brow line. At times I may have gone a bit overboard with the blush, but what did I know? Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Today we play Pizza Party. Debuting in 1987, Parker Brothers' P...

DeLorean Travels: Vortex Football
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2011/04/vortex-football.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Tuesday, April 5, 2011. Wandering somewhat aimlessly through the store, I noticed the label to what can only be described as the best friggin' aisle in the history of toy stores. The sign displayed just one word, but it was enough to reel me in: NERF. Above is the Nerf Vortex as it is sold today. Needless to say, I bought it. Best thing $9.99 can buy. This effect is similar to what some call "Wii Arm." If you've ever played Ninetendo Wii Sports Bowling or...

DeLorean Travels: October 2010
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Friday, October 29, 2010. Yet another festive post from me. Two in one day.watch out! Keeping with the Halloween theme, this post discusses the immortal McDonad's Halloween Pails. I say immortal, because these things never die. They have seen numerous reincarnations since their official inception in 1986. Image: http:/ www.sydlexia.com/halloween pails.htm). Image: http:/ www.sydlexia.com/halloween pails.htm). McDonald's must have gotten the word of our family...

DeLorean Travels: September 2010
http://deloreantravels.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A retrospective blog by a product of the 80s. Thursday, September 23, 2010. It's been a while. My apologies. Today's topic: Fisher Price McDonald's Soft Serve. Also, how cool is it that this toy allowed your child to see how awesome it would be to work at Mickey D's? Combine this toy with a viewing of Bye Bye Love, and McDonalds would never be hurting for employees. Also, if you did not want a clear glass, you could choose to use the very authentic looking McDonalds cup with lid. No clue. Did McDonal...

Aboard the Keanemutiny: June 2009
http://aboardthekeanemutiny.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. Reinstalling the Chair Rail. For your viewing enjoyment, here is a little video giving you a taste of our genius here in England. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Locals and Crazy Seagulls. Our group has befriended the local ferryman on the Mount Batten Ferry. We've gotten a decent taste of Plymouth local life as a result. Another theory is that he knew he was crashing and thought "oh no, I'm going down, better take this pie with me." Either way, it made for an exciting lunch. We quickly n...
