80's Corner


One of the biggest crazes of the 1980's was the invention of Rubik's Cube. Mr. Rubik made tons of money off of this clever invention. This cube had 6 sides, with same-colored mini cubes on each side. The object of the game was to get all the same-colored mini-cubes together on each side of the cube.

I have to say I was not very good at this whilst growing up. I was able to successfully get two sides the same color. Usually, what I did was to take the stickers off and put them on the correct sides ... sure, it was basically cheating, but I didn't care ... the game frustrated me so much! I think I even took the cube apart and put it back together so that I had the correct colors together ... cheating? Maybe ... innovative? Absolutely!

I hated that damn thing. After YEARS the best I could ever do was 4 complete sides.

...then they started coming out with stupid shit like the Rubik's Snake and such...

Yeah I sucked at those too. I was also the master of moving the stickers around.
