The things I remember from when I was a kid thread

[V8 Beast]

Having water gun fights and my Dad would cheat and use the hose

 

Making a team effort to move the huge bench seat in the front of the car

 

Fighting hard to stay awake during Saturday Night Live

 

Watching He-man and not seeing anything wrong with a man wearing hairy underwear and carrying a sword

 

Memorizing songs just so I could sing along with my friends

 

Breaking Transformer because some of them were too complicated and I never read the directions

 

After waiting for 3 hours for one song to play.. Holding my radio up to another radio so that I could record it.

 

Sawing our bunk bed in half because my brother and I though we were too old for them.. Steves half broke and he ended up sleeping on the floor

You listed too many ... now I don't care.

 

That may be the alcohol speaking.

 

Though I'll say, humming the theme song to Robotech, and having no other kids know what the fuck that is.

If we're digging Oregon Trail up, lets not get dysentery and forget other noteworthy timewasters ... such as Number Munchers !!!
