BKaF – Brad Kovach and Friends

These are a few of my favorite things.  How about you?

10. The Electronic Cowboy Arcade (an arcade since gone, located in Afton, WY) and Galaxian:  This was my first favorite video game, and I spent many quarters and had a lot of fun with my friends as we tried to top each other’s high scores.

9.  Peanut Butter (Skippy Chunky):  As mentioned in Mall Cop it fills the cracks in my heart.

8.  Burton snowboards (The first one I ever tried was in the winter of 1983 at Jackson Hole, they let us use them for free, and they sucked – see what they looked like in the link!)

7.  Icee blueberry drinks

6.  Van Halen (I bought their first album in 1978 while on a lunch break during junior high at the local Radio Shack.  Once I heard Eruption I was hooked!)

5.  Richard Nixon (The one and only U.S. President I have ever seen live – I asked my 2nd grade teacher why he wasn’t president anymore after he resigned and she said because he lied.  That wasn’t cool, but I still liked the guy and always will.)

4.  Apple (The Apple IIe was the first computer I ever used, and I’ve liked them ever since.)

3.  Scooby Doo (I watch it almost every single day, and it never gets old!)

2.  Johnny West and Thunderbolt (I still have Thunderbolt, Johnny’s horse, who has a broken neck and is minus his tail, but Johnny is buried forever in my old sandbox after a garden hose flooding incident.  I can’t believe I totally forgot about him and left him behind, but I probably had to go for a bike ride on my purple Schwinn with banana seat.)

My purple Schwinn looked a lot like this:

1. The Internet (Enough said.)
