Title: Geek Alert! Wacky Packs are back!!!
Post by: Ace on August 30, 2004, 05:43:14 AM
Some of you young\'ns, probably most of you here, don\'t remember Wacky Packs but they\'re back. I don\'t know about you guys but I\'m excited about this. I\'m going to buy a crap load today and start my collection.

Giga, you should remember them but maybe they were bigger in certain areas. I just bought ten packs Bwhahahahaha!!!

Vid, help me out here, you must remember them.

This old guy crap is getting on my nerves. Let\'s look at the facts, I buy collectible cards called Wacky Packs, I am in a band and gigged last night and have two more gigs coming up this month, I play video games and I race my car. Now I ask, is that old sounding stuff?

By the way, you all suck! :)

Don\'t feel bad.  I remember these things very well.  They were the coolest back in the 70\'s.  I loved the evil bitter nature of some of those parodies.  Very cold hearted and bitter.  Funny as hell!

Thanks, Core! They were all over my school books in those days and I couldn\'t wait to get out of school to go to the ( here\'s another geezer term) the five and ten to buy some.

The five and ten...?  Is that like a dime store that I\'ve read about in history books (not really)

I remember them, but I can\'t remember from where.  Were they part of Mad Magazines?

Ugh, this is killing me.

Not Mad. They were sold like baseball cards with gum.

I definitely remember them.  I saw now they are part of topps.  I want to thank you so much for reminding me how old I am.  Thank God you\'re older.  ;)
