Picture of the Ironhide and Ratchet Transformers heads on G1 toys:
The Cover Girls formed in 1987 and are still a “dance” music group today, although they’ve had many lineup changes. Here they are 20 years ago, as we saw them, and today (as well as website links).

Those Ratchet and Ironhide heads are so simple, why couldn’t Hasbro come up with them in 1984?
Here’s a clip of The Morton Downey Jr. Show. Al Sharpton gets knocked down by another guest:
Another ridiculous clip:
Unfortunately, I cannot find either the signed postcard of Mario Cantone, or the scan I made of said postcard
Here is a clip of the New Kids On The Block on Steampipe Alley. I can only post a link, the user who posted on youtube disabled embed.
Wow, NKOTB on Steampipe Alley! What a horrible, stupid song. I can’t stand their accents, either.
PS: Rob, during the episode you said no one would ever sell Steampipe Alley DVDs??? From Stevenson, CT of all places!

What the…Stevenson, CT? What are the odds?
It’s only $5. Should we buy a copy for the Paunch Stevenson Show library?
I finally found my signed post card from Mario Cantone, or at least the scan of it….
Wow! Look at his big hair and speckled jeans.
