SoupThrower February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 I'm pretty young but I do remember playing that Simpsons game. So there's that. I like gambling Brandon mainly because I gambled a lot (small amounts) and it was ruined. Ruined!!!!

swimmyfish February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 I remember watching this episode when it originally aired and thinking it was extremely unrealistic that Brenda and Kelley would be able to do their own hair in such complex styles. I doubt this was the first episode to feature a primping/getting ready montage, so I have no idea why it took me so long to cotton to that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2008594
swimmyfish February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 I haven't listened to the podcast yet, so I don't know how off my rosy memories are, but I have to chime in and say that this was my very favorite episode of 90210. I completely bought that 3 years of being in each other's orbits could lead to these group interactions that we didn't regularly see. Maybe not the most exciting episode, but I felt like it was well earned. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2008637
EDeck24 February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 Please count me among the masses of people clamoring for a shirt a lot of parents will read! Also, Dave, the resort my family goes to every year still has--tucked in the back behind $2-per-play modern games--that Simpsons game in their game room. I played it this past September, and it still costs only 25 cents! It's the best. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2008639
shockermolar February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 Around that same time period I was in college and that was pretty much my go to look - a messy french twist. Curls if I was trying to be swank, straight if I wasn't, but always with some sort of bangs/fringe/side tendril/whisp action going on. It's a really, really easy 'do - just takes a couple of hair combs to hold it in place. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2008740
Tooch February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 That's one of the only things I liked about Donna's fried-ass hair is that it was kind of realistic that someone addicted to home bleach jobs would have dried out nasty hair. Then again, Donna is supposed to be rich so you'd think her image-obsessed mom would pay for the right treatments to fix that shit. I also liked the shaggy/messy do that Kelly sports during sophomore year of college for the same reason; it was way more realistic than the pageant queen up-dos she favors in high school. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2008768

MissEwa February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 My first question was why Brandon made that face when Dylan asked the fist-pump question, given that's his sister they're talking about. Then I remembered: because he's Brandon and they're gross. Brandon's chains are a nice bit of continuity from when he went rollerblading with Racist Brooke. A gross bit of continuity but maybe he really is a chain guy? I'm so glad you guys are back. I can't wait until we get through these boring episodes and back to the awesomely terrible Dylan dramas. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2009519
sinnerforhire March 1, 2016 Share March 1, 2016 For some reason I thought this was two episodes. I thought the first race was in a different episode than Andrea identifying the car.

Racj82 March 3, 2016 Share March 3, 2016 I just wanted to personally thank you guys. Between this and extra hot great, I had a reason to genuinely laugh for the first time in a week. My mom had some sort bacterial infection in her leg that every doctor seemed to miss for days and they had to amputate part of her leg to save her. It's been really hard for me even though she is getting better. But, this was one of the few times I could just lose myself in something else and laugh a bit. The chicken sounds were killing me.

Onfire444 April 4, 2016 Share April 4, 2016 Had no idea about the Luke Perry rumors! Also, would LOVE to find that Simpsons game mentioned on the podcast. Bart fought enemies by beating them with his skateboard, as I recall. Suggestion for future podcasts. Would love to hear Tara and Sarah react to the I Hate Brenda excerpts. I guess I was out of the gossip loop in the early 90s, cause it's all news to me! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39533-s03e17-the-game-is-chicken/#findComment-2115362
