What the Hell is 2XL?
Sunday, Nov. 14, 2004 - 7:15 p.m. Have you noticed all of the old-school toys that are being advertised again? I saw a commercial yesterday for Cabbage Patch Kids. Just in time for Christmas, so a new generation of parents can go crazy, beating the crap out of each other, so their kid can have the last Cabbage Patch Kid at Toys R Us. Hey....now that I think of it, I think I still have my old Cabbage Patch Kid. I see some $$ coming my way on Ebay...hmmmm. But seriously, Care Bears are back...Strawberry Shortcake is back. What's next? 2XL? Do you remember 2XL? For those of you under 25, 2XL was a robot that you stuck an 8-track Have you seen the new show Drawn Together on Comedy Central? If you haven't, I highly suggest watching it. It's so wrong and soooo funny. Being that I'm addicted to reality shows, this was right up my alley. If you haven't seen it, it's basically a parody of The Surreal Life or the Real World. It's a bunch of fictional cartoon characters put into a house together, but the cartoon characters are based on real-life characters. OK, I realize ALL cartoon characters are fictional, but you get my point. For example, there is a princess, who is a Cinderella-type character. A creature who is a Pokemon-type, a Betty Boop type, etc., etc. It's funny and dirty. I highly recommend it.

tape into its stomach. He would ask you a question and you would press a button, which would then take you to the corresponding track, if your answer was right or wrong. Being an 8-year-old kid, this was voodoo to me. I just thought this was the coolest thing. I couldn't figure out how 2XL knew if my answer was right or wrong. He MUST be reading my mind...OK, maybe I was just slow. Today an 8-year-old kid can probably write a computer program to make a talking robot, yet I was facinated by pressing a button to an 8-track tape.
