Remember these days everyone...


Before the Internet or Text messaging...

Before the shots and joints

Before Sidekicks & Ipods

Before Playstation2 or X-BOX

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie...

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!


***Way back...

Tag

I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk!

Red light, Green light!

Heads up 7 up!

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.

Hopskotch!

Mother May I?

four square

Hula Hoops

Running through the sprinkler

Happy Meals where u chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car

***Not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or pegs

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school

Class Field Trips

When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!

When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

When getting high was swinging on the swingset

When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.

When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"


***Go back to the time when...

nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25 & called & paid to watch music videos!!!!

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"


It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The chance to couple skate at Skate Country was like winning the lottery....

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

Nobody was prettier than Mom

Nobody was cooler than Dad

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.


If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!

OK....thanks for making me feel older than dirt......

im sorry that was not my intent. just brought back memories when i read it

So very nostalgic, I remember every single one of those things. Good times.

i'm 20 and I remember all of these things, I don't feel old!

a lot of the shows that were on back then i really miss. like all of the ones on nick. those were good times

You're quite right man. You made me nostalgic
However, I still do this thing:



EDIT: I still miss those shows. My fav was Pinky and the Brain

Pfft! BS I say! You've only lived if you've attended 48 hour Customs on Halo 2!

I'm only 14 and I remember most of those things

ahhh...... Ren and Stimpy

I miss them

interesting how the human mind works..... 'there is no vision like tunnel vision'

yay, i don't feel old!
1991 is way later than most of the stuff

Sorry hyper, but after studying more than 10 hours in a row I just didn't get it. Today my brain cells are on strike

I miss many of those things..

Saturday morning cartoons!

The New Ewok Adventures
Wuzzles
Popples
Gem and the Holograms
My Little Ponys
Shirt Tales
He-Man
Transformers ( the original )
The Land of the Lost ( the original ) not a cartoon
Picture Pages with Bill Cosby right before Fat Albert, not a cartoon
Punky Brewster the cartoon
Muppet Babies
Care Bears
Bugs Bunny and Tweety ( thats what the show was called in my day )
Heathcliff
Garfield and Friends
Dennis the Menace


I'm sure there are more I can't think of right now

I wish I could say that I played games every day with other little kids but I can't because I didn't. My only sister is 6 years older than me and the nearest child neighbor was over 3 miles away. I played in my tree house and rode, groomed my horse; I spent a lot of time by myself as a wee one. My mom made me a cape so I could dress up like an Ewok and swing from the trees at my parent's farm in true form. I miss being six...

Hey! Anyone remember Fireball XL5!!!



No...?



*sigh*
I belong in a museum.

I missed REd Rover too many people were complaining about getting hurt... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET HURt, DON'T PLAY!

*reminiscing*

good times...

*sigh*

what happened to them?

that was one of the best games when i was younger. i like that deodorant commercial with the football players. brings back memories

Yah... DAMN THIS PRESENT DAY SOCIETY DAY!!!! DAMN IT ALL :_(

those were times..mmmm
i miss my old ducati.......

Okay, CodeNameCloud:

I am soooo dating myself here, but..... Remember The Wallace and Ladmo Show!??! I'm from the Looney Tunes era, you know, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and - Oh, oh, oh, my fav. Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote!

Don't forget about Gargoyles. I looove Gargoyles. My six-year-old now loves to watch Gargoyles. Oh, who could forget Scooby-Doo? On the weekends, me and my 6-yo have slumber parties, pop popcorn and watch Scooby-Doo all night on DVD.

I can remember when cable first came out and everyone was so crazy over MTV, then it got stupid... or I got older? Now we have TiVo and satellite.

Two scary words, peeps... Bell Bottoms! I can remember my brothers wearing them! Oh, forgot, they came back, didn't they? And, so did Care Bears, My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake!

Oh, I wanna be a kid again! *stomps foot, throws self on floor*

I miss the old days [for me, the early 1980's]. Yeah, we had Pong and Atari, and crappy computers, but back then they weren't flashy. As much as I enjoy web-surfing at work [who wants to work at work?], I think that today's kids are suffering because of computers. I don't ever remember seeing so many fat kids...when I was young, everyone was always running around outside, summer or winter. It's sad that kids waste their young lives on Halo and Grand Theft Auto when there are so many great things they could be experiencing.

Oh well.

Gosh i'm nearly 20 and remember most of those things!

remember the care-bears and my little pony

i do remember when petrol was CHEAP and txt messaging was un-heard of!

I do I do I do!
I enjoyed the stupidity of that show.
Oh yeah, and Josh Server...I thought he'd be the next Jim Carrey. But don't tell anyone I said that.
Keenan is now on SNL. Where's Kel though? He was funny as hell, too.

Remember when having a cell phone meant you were either a businessman or a drug dealer? Those were the days...

What did I use to do for 10 hours a day?

Whoever compiled that first list apparantly ONLY had Nickelodeon to watch growing up.

Yes thanks for reminding me of my the good ol'days....now I really feel old.
Thnx loads!



I think it had to do with actually leaving the house to go outside, you know that place where that big yellowish ball of light is?
And doing things that did not requier any keyboards or touchscreens.

Did anyone play Nintendo and Sega Genesis?

Mwhaha I did, I likesd the game Bonkers for the Sega and almost everything for the NES.... ah Dig-Dug

Sonic and Paperboy.

Game'n'watch - King Kong!

Commodore 64's with the tapes and you had to type 'run' into it!

When videos turned from Beta to VHS!

When phones turned from dialing to touch phone!

^Hmmm. Very old person right there...

(screams)

LMAO
Totally teasing, glad you didn't kill me.
(looks behind back)

(pounces and strangles Yelekiah!)

(makes gurgling noises)

(Remembers the Good ol' Days Bomb in his pocket. And they both blow up)

LMAO. Die laughing!!

mmh....miss kite flying

I remember those! Good read.

most of that I remember. damn I miss those shows!

I want more Are you afraid of the dark!

wasnt Gullah Gullah Island that show with the weird yellow frog like dude?

many a' boring weekends as a youngin' I would watch that.

good times......good times.....

BRING THE WALKMAN BACK!

I was going to make a thread much like this one...then I found this hiding 7/8 pages back and thought WOW someone already did yippieeaaayy

Before the Internet or Text messaging... - Yup we used to go outside and find friends lol

Before Playstation2 or X-BOX - There was Atari and I liked it

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on. - I was champ at dodgeball

Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons - Oh I haven't given up on the cartoons LOL...there I said it

Double Dare!!! - We played True Dare Double Dare...it used to cause fights lol

Being old, referred to anyone over 20. - Yea I remember thinking that, now I think 20 is very young...when you are my age!


Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or pegs - Yea I did that but I preferred my skateboard, and eachtime I fell off, my dad was forever throwing it in the bin!!
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. - Ohh yes indeed, I used to pretend I was Wonder Woman, I even wrote into Jimmy Fix it to be Wonder Woman for the day...still never recieved a reply!!

When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year! - Still is for me, but now a number of people are offended by it...!

I remember when you thought you where cool and showed off when you played Rap Door Run or some know it as Thunder & Lightening..knock on the door like thunder and run like lightening
Also in my day we used to build forts, with a big ole BOYS STAY OUT sign on it...sigh such fond memories

Get ready to think, Old.

I'm a "tweener," meaning not a "baby boomer" and not GenX; I was born 18 December 1964.

I remember watching Apollo 11 land on the moon on our black-and-white TV--no remote and rabbit-ears for an antenna.
I saw the premieres of All in the Family and Happy Days.
Technology was an "Etch-n-Sketch."
Fun consisted of having a ball and/or chalk.

My neighborhood: just envision The Wonder Years. Michael Dinner, a writer/producer/director of the show, lived 6 houses down the street. He is 3 years older than I am. Much of the show is based upon the world as it was reflected through lens of Upper Dublin, PA.

I wish I had of been there when Apollo 11 1st landed on the moon
