Discussion Topic: Childhood Toys
This week was Rachel’s discussion topic, childhood toys. We took a trip down memory lane in the form of toys. Who loved books? Who was more attached to a soccer ball? Who loved Legos? Talking Cabbage Patch dolls, GI Joes, a dancing monkey and the Atari 2600. If you want to know who loved what, you’ll just have to listen.

Girls Night In this week has been brought to you by Rachel, who lead the discussion with questions that may have transformed us in more ways than one. Here’s what everyone had to answer:
1. What if you were a Transformer? What would you transform into and why? It doesn’t have to be a vehicle.
2. What if you could go back and tell your childhood version of yourself one thing? What would it be?

In this episode of Girls Night In we discussed Rachel’s movie pick “Transformers” (2007) staring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and Peter Cullen. This movie is based off the ’80s TV show and Hasbro toys of the same name. Was this popcorn, movie-flick a crowd pleaser or did it fail to transform some of the ladies into robot lovers? Maybe instead they were robotic aliens — but were they Autobots or Decepticons? “No sacrifice, no victory!”

To close out our Girls Night In Anniversary, we answered two questions which elicited some quite entertaining responses from both the hosts and the listeners.

What If Questions
1. If any two Girls Night In hosts were to have a knock down, drag out fist fight.. who would you choose to fight and who would you imagine the winner to be? Why?
2. What if you had to live as one of the (other) Girls Night In hosts for one week, who would you want to “be” and why?

We got to find out who our listeners thought could kick the most ass and why. Was it the leader of the bitches, Jaime, a la episode 8? Was it our number one cheater, Maggie? Perhaps our moral compass got to lay the smack down to get us all back in line? Or was Kim able to, as the producer of the show, formulate a PSA with which to make everything right in the world? Who was voted as the most desirable life to live? There’s only one way to find out. You’ll have to listen.

Thank you to all of our listeners for.. well.. listening to us this past year, for participating, for the friendships and the fun. Without you folks we wouldn’t have had as much fun as it’s obvious that we have on this show. We love you and hope that you’ll continue to be such a presence in our podcast and enrich our lives!

Jaime mentioned a 10-Function USB BOB. You can see a picture at the link however it’s no longer available through the store at that site. Instead, I was able to find Internet Enabled Adult Sex Toys, which may not be 10-function but I bet you all might find some amusement there.

The Girls Night In podcast has finally hit a milestone. We’re now one year old. After a year of podcasting, reviewing, questioning and laughing we got together for an evening and tried to jam our favorite parts into one episode. I bet you can imagine how that went with over 24 hours worth of material to cover! Give it a listen to see what we liked more: reviewing movies, topic discussions or just making fun of each other.

Thank you to all of our listeners for.. well.. listening to us this past year, for participating, for the friendships and the fun. Without you folks we wouldn’t have had as much fun as it’s obvious that we have on this show. We love you and hope that you’ll continue to be such a presence in our podcast and lives!

You may or may not have heard rumors about a Girls Night In podcast gathering (meet-up or party, if you will) happening this summer. Well, it’s true! We’ll be gathering in the Chicago, IL area (technically in northwestern Indiana) on July 18-19, 2008 for fun and festivities. Before we can share with you all of the juicy details, we have to finish planning them. See how that works?

Now, in order for the planning to finalize, we need your help. Please take this survey and we’ll get back to announcing the rest of the details just as soon as we can. Thanks for your help!

By registering and attending the gathering, you give Girls Night In permission to use any footage or audio obtained during that weekend at their discretion.

This week on Girls Night In we had Maggie’s discussion topic on our memories of teachers and school. There were some good memories and some not so good memories. A witch? A cow? Violence? What was the topic again? Well, you’ll just have to listen, it’ll all make sense then.
