Good grief! I don't even know where to begin with this other than by saying, what an excellent post! Everyone knows I'm a big sucker for the "remember when?" stuff. I could write a paragraph or two on just about everything you mentioned. Certainly every time I drive around Hagerstown, as I did this past Saturday, brings back a flood of similar memories. I never signed up for this being a responsible adult business. The only saving grace for me is that I get to live vicariously through my children. Ben and I were reminiscing about some of this stuff just the other weekend. One of the items to add to your list is certainly "Bionic Commando" or Nintendo in general. I was telling Ben about the time I had to hide in the closet in your den when your mom came home because you weren't allowed to have friends over, and I sat in the closet and watched you play Nintendo through the crack in the door. How about the "Pressure Cooker?" Another fond memory from your parents' den. Anyway, I could go on forever about this stuff, but I should get back to work...I'll add additional comments later.
Let's see if I can answer some of these:
...water wars? We still have them to some extent. Ask Jamie about Abby's birthday party....
...Evan? Don't know, don't care.
...Dave Penner? Last I heard he moved to California.
...Crime Buster movies? We're waiting until the kids are old enough to star in the next one.
...time to smell the flowers?
We've got roses planted out front for just that purpose.
...WOTG? It got slain by a stray magic offensive move.
...dreams? Still have 'em, still living some of 'em.
...hill hopping? Ask yourself if you really want to go hill hopping in your Durango....
...Mandy? Last I heard she got married and moved to Frostburg.
...MCR? It's probably still there, but by now I imagine that it's more developed.
...Leitersburg Theater? Alive and kicking. We saw Meet the Fockers there with J&J and Co. over Christmas break.
...playing paintball? I haven't played much since Abby was born, but a friend of mine is trying to get Jamie to start and me to re-start.
...breadsticks at Pizza Hut? I started avoiding Pizza Hut after I learned that they spray extra grease on almost all of their food. Ick!
...Mt Aetna? Unless you're talking about the volcano in Italy, my parents live there now.
...going from a 97 degree hot tub to a 64 degree pool and then playing Street Fighter all night long? We still play video games all night long on occasion....
...Space: Above and Beyond? I never really got into it, so I don't know.
...my high metabolism? The same thing that happened to mine. Welcome to my world.
...the last 30 years? They seem to have flown by, but I've really enjoyed them!
Some additions...
- Kris' last night at McDonald's
- Apple Valley

Sweet, I was hoping to get some good memory jumping out of this one.
You all hit some that I meant to put on that list but forgot, like Brad Smith, riding bikes to the mall, and Nintendo :)
It was fun writing this, I basically just entered the first one and then just went where ever it took me, that's why they are somewhat related in a weird Ryan kinda way.
I'd like to see Kris and Bert chime in on this one, would be interesting to get their feedback too.
What about trips to freakin' Waynesboro, Jamie?
Kris
Okay, okay...and trips to freakin' Waynesboro. S-T-E-L-L-A!!!
I remember when...I was in the North High School Band when it was great
...I went on the AMA Red Tour with Noel Kunkle and Dana Kremples.
...I ran into Noel Kunkle at an Army Commissary in Hanau Germany in 1993.
Hmmmmmmmm I wonder who you are Pass the Potatoes Person
The wonder is mutual...
