unbibiumI remembered this morning that when I was a kid, I liked the Howard the Duck movie. Then I remembered that, by adult standards, the movie sucks. So I felt embarrassed.
Then I remembered that, by kid standards, the movie was awesome. It was like a muppet-cartoon thing, only it didn't have that thick layer of sugar coating that I was just starting to grow out of. If anyone ever challenged my 10-year-old self about the merit of Howard the Duck, I'd point out that in the first two minutes of the movie, you see two separate instances of duck boobs.
On the other hand, I have no excuse for watching Saved by the Bell. That show sucked. But, Tiffany-Amber-Thiessen,, so, yeah, I did have an excuse.
Isn't the whole point of being a kid to indulge in bad taste while you learn to separate the wheat from the chaff?

I don't have a Scatman John CD anymore, though!HEY!
