Gee, thanks
But this did make me feel old.
You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ]
Only b/c of Ice Age, which isn't 90ish, but anywho...
You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain
AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!
I'd still watch those if they were still on.
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
Never, and I mean never slept in on a Saturday. Cartoons are very lacking nowadays.
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
Oh, wow, you have no idea. Even on those insanely old Macintosh computers on the giant floppy floppy disks.
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
I remember seeing a ton of them, but never read them.
when everyhting was settled by rock paper scissors..or bubble gum bubble gum in a dish...and even better daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky.
Or "Oboe, shin not tin tot en, nay nay, I am boom boom boom..." *laughs*
when cops and robbers was a daily activity.
when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.
Or when outdoor games and imagination ruled surpreme. My personal favorite was monster tag.
"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.
Still have the game, and was addicted to that show.
You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.
Ha. I remember when Nintendo's were popular (still play Mario from time to time), and when a neighbor had Atari.
You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.
I had the opposite problem. I recorded plenty of funny stuff. Just never wanted to send it in
You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"
Three stunk. The first one was nothing short of classic.
You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.
Hey, on a rainy day, there was a great way to spend the afternoon after school ^_^
You remember eating Warheads.
The first time I had a warhead I literally fell over. Getting teachers to eat one was really fun.
You remember drinking Surge, and Tang.
...Tang isn't around anymore?!?! o_O
Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.
Those were nothing short of coolness.
You played and/or collected "Pogs"
Actually, yes. Haven't heard that word in years.
And Windows 95 was the best.
I still have a computer that runs Win95
Gak was the coolest stuff invented.
Cept it smelled funny.
Lambchop's song never ended.
It just goes on and on my friend! Some people started singing it one day not knowing what it was....
You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.
Well, duh! That's where Kenan and Kel hung out! Speaking of orange....
You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
Extremely.
You know the Macarena by heart.
And had to dance to it in gym class -_-;
You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.
Still do, though those days don't happen much anymore.
Before the MySpace frenzy . . .
Before the Internet & text messaging . . .
Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .
Before MIKE JONES . . .
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .
I could do without all of those. Though the internet is nice to have.
Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
Ha! Like procrastination ended in 1999.....
When light up sneakers were cool.
When they were? They still look cool on little kids.
