Puffy paint is a clothing paint that goes on flat and then dries puffed up and feels like rubber. Shrinky dinks were large plastic pieces with cartoon characters on them. I think I had The Flinstones and some Disney characters. If I remember correctly you would cut them out and put them in the oven where they would shrink.

Vicki lived in a cabinet inside her brothers room. I remember he just would say "Take a nap Vicki" and she would go to her cabinet and turn off.

Ooooh. I think I remember puffy paint now! Not the actual product, but puffy T-shirts! Yeah, the way they'd puff up where the picture was? Oh, thanks for the memory!!

"Take a nap, Vicki!" Wow, I too wish that worked in real life!

The 1320s. Belts cinched a little tighter, emphasizing the hips. Tighter sleeves. Sexy wooden clogs, without so much animal dung on them. Mutton and pottage. Mmmmm.

Well, PashaRu has already admitted that appearance-wise, he has a pot-belly, a combover, nasal hairs, unibrow, and a speech impediment.

(Hey, I don't judge. I took speech class in elementary school.)

So, yeah, I'd say he could pass for someone in their early 600's.

@bluemel4 I'll take you for a ride in my TARDIS if you don't tell anyone. 8) We can visit the Face of Boe or fight some Daleks or Cybermen, or even the Ood. Just name it.

@zeldas_lullaby Don't forget my club foot, cleft palate, and, err, gastrointestinal issues.

And thanks, I don't feel a day over 620!

I knew it! If we face any Weeping Angel's you are on your own. Oh or get stuck in some wacked out old god's prision that feeds off of faith. I also won't fall in love with you no matter how sexy the know-it-all stuff is.

Oooh I love the weeping angels! They're super creepy!!! But "Blink" is one of my favorite episodes. No falling in love, huh? Okay, you can be Donna Noble (she's just cranky) or Amy Pond (her heart belongs to Rory. But she's cute and her Scottish accent is suuuper sexy!). Besides, I think The Doctor never really got over Rose. But I'm behind a season or two, so maybe things have changed.

(What if I show you my sonic screwdriver?)

Blink is one of my favorite's too! I'll take Amy Pond. She always was able to call the Doctor out on his B.S. Plus by the end she turned into a total badass. I don't know how I feel about my daughter being older than me and married to you though. (oh geeze was that a spoiler. EEP)

Haha, don't worry, I have watched up to that point. I love River Song! Smart, sassy, sexy! Yum. But if I'm Dr. Who, it must be David Tennant. My all time fave. (Tom Baker was hard to beat!)

David Tennant is my favorite Doctor also! Christopher Eccleston was good as The Doctor. Unfortunatly, he has been horrible to the fans. It is hard to say where the show would have ended up if he stayed for more than one season.

You need to catch up! Peter Capaldi is doing an amazing job as The Doctor. Matt Smith took a while for me to get used to and I did not feel sad to see him go. Capaldi was The Doctor from the second he regenerated.
