I'm not overly crazy about any Disney character in itself but Disney Land in itself is pretty awesome. I've been 4 times once as a young teenager, 2 times in my 20s with my gf now wife and once in my late 30s with wife and 2 kids the xmas right before the pandemic started. Every time was awesome. Yea yea there are moments of shittiness like who the hell enjoys lining up for an hour or walking all day but in the end still pretty sweet.

That said, different locations will provide different experiences. First 3 times I went to Anaheim and the last in Tokyo. The crowd in Tokyo is way different people are significantly more orderly and the vibe is more calm. I've heard from multiple friends that the HK one is pretty shit so if you're going for the first time probably go somewhere else lol.

I was going through some media, and came across a nostalgic text file from 2012:

I miss the Canadian hip-hop scene from the 90s / early 00s. I guess many are still underground but seeing as 'Soundcloud rapper' is a living meme, it doesn't have the same caliber as this stuff.

Meat prices from an old Save on Foods flier from 1993. Found it cleaning some stuff in storage. Parents wrapped some old cutlery with it.



Baron of beef roast
Flier - 6.13/kg
Now - 24.20/kg

Pork Shoulder Steak
Flier - 3.70/kg
Now - 13.40/kg

Compared prices to Save on Food's current website.

I remember always getting hyped for the intro but halfway through each episode I'd be bored and want to watch something else... But I think it was on at a weird time so there would be no other cartoons to watch.

That's my memory of The Raccoons anyway

Same. The Raccoons were Sunday evenings around dinner time. He-Man was earlier, Care Bears(don't judge me) were in around the same time slot too. It was kind of a weird time because school was the next day and it was bedtime after the shows and I remember being sad about that part. Lol!

My favourite part about The Racoons was that it was on in the evenings for some reason. After dinner I think. Basically non-traditional cartoon time!

Man, fresh cod for 77 cents per 100/g!

Looking at those prices, basically everything is about 4x the cost now as it was in 1993. Have average incomes gone up 4x as well?

Minimum wage was like $6 back then, so it'd have to be around $24 to just keep up with pork prices, lol.

As a kid of the 80s, there were many nights spent fantasizing on winning a toy store shopping spree at Toys R Us, which was not in Canada at the time.

Back when we got American commercials before they got overwritten by shitty boring Canadian ones, and Toys R Us seemed like a dream world

Oh man I totally remember daydreaming about out how many GI Joes and Transformers I could fit in there.. and if I'd be able to balance some of those massive GI Joe bases on top of it all

Yah cuz those were the only fucking shows on before transformers and GI Joe and he-man etc.

You just end up watching them all.

I never was into sitcoms. I’d rather watch any cartoon over a sitcom.

What was that cartoon with the bad guy humans that lived in a ship anchored just off shore? Lol

And that other ghost busters cartoon with the intro that went “gogo… ghost busters”

And the other transformers. The shittier one. Go bots or something.

Disney afternoon didn’t come till the 90s I think. Tails spin was awesome. The whole ethos was kinda cool.

I don’t remember much else from the 80s

I do remember watching the transformers movie in the theatres. The animation was so much better than the tv shows. Like actual anime lol.

Lol she-ra just cuz it was sometimes back to back with he-man? It’s all a blur.

90s reboot was a big one for me.

Oh yah Dino riders lol!!!

What’s that other show… I can only remember the toys the guys had holograms on their chests.

An interesting thing looking back to all those 80's cartoons is that they were all basically anime... Higher end ones at least would get Japanese studios to do all the animation. So if you watch a series and some episodes were good and some were shit, the good ones were usually from Japan and the shit usually from Philippines or elsewhere.

Of course some of them were literally anime series smashed together (with sex and alcohol removed) and dubbed into English, but even shows like Gummi Bears, Muppet Babies, Real Ghostbusters all had episodes done in Japan. And usually the intros since they were worth paying money for, so intros often had better animation than the show itself.
