Recommended Posts

I don't remember ALL these things, but 98% of them I do (I was born in '86 so the early 90's I probably am missing). Man, it brings back memories!

"If you grew up in the 90's you've gotta read this...

Anybody under the age of 13 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '96 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

U remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs.

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!

You just cant resist finishing this... "Iiiiiiin west philladelphia born and raised..."

You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.

You remember when, 2Pac and Selena died.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early

on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time"

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

You remember when super nintendo's and Sega Genisis became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.

You remember when Yomega Yo-Yos were cool.

You remember those Where's Waldo books..

You remember when Mortal Kombat wuz tha ####!

U remember eating Warheads.

You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.

U remember Ring Pops.

U remember drinkin' Fruitopia and Surge.

if you memeber when every thing was "da BOMB"

when they made the new lunchables so that you could make tacos and pizza!!

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

Writing M.A.S.H. notes. (and the twenty different versions of that)

Making those little paper fortune cookie things.. and then predicting your life with them.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers,and Ninja Turtles.

You had a favorite New Kid on the block, and you knew all of there names (from jerri- johnathan, jordan, joey, donnie, and danny!!!!! step by step ooh baby.....)

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always sold out.

You collected those Beanie Babies.

You remember a time before the WB.

You collected all the Troll dolls

You owned a portable tape player.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

You remember "American Gladiators" and watched it like a religion.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You know the significance of the number 23.

You went to McD's to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds...at the play ground.

When we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods...

Before MIKE JONES...

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...

Before Sponge Bob

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

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

When we recorded stuff on VCRs .

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

Way back.

when it was all about N64.

WHEN MAKING OUT WAS HAVING SEX

WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

I grew up in the mid 80's and 90's, born in 76. I remember a lot of this stuff. Oh the good old days.

The Oregon Trail was sweet! I hated that Susie always died of malaria though.

That is truly the story of my life

:(

now I miss it

I know, me too. The sad part is when you are there and your parents TOLD you how good you have it and to enjoy it while you are that age, but you didn't really appreciate it until it was long gone. And then someday you'll have kids you'll be saying the SAME thing to and just frustrated when they don't listen to you!

And if you grew up a decade or 2 earlier ??? lol

This is for US !! ....... REmember When ??

enjoy !!

Close your eyes...and go back...

Before the Internet or the MAC,

Before semi automatics or crack,

Before SEGA, PS 2, X-BOX or Super Nintendo...

I'm talking about hide and go seek at dusk.

Red light, Green light.

Playing kick the can until your porch light came on.

Mother May I ?

Red Rover

Hula Hoops

Running through the sprinkler

Wait...

Watching Saturday morning cartoons

Catching lightning bugs in a jar

Christmas morning

Your first day of school

Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses

Climbing trees

Getting an Ice Cream off the Ice Cream Truck

Jumping down the steps

Jumping on the bed

Pillow fights

Running till you were out of breath

Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt

Your first crush

Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7-Up" in the classroom

Remember that?

I'm not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of summer

Totting your friends on your handle bars

Class field trips

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

When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a

miracle.

When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to

carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.

When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the

fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

I want to go back to the time when...

Decisions were made by saying "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"

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

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 worst thing you could catch from the opposite gender was cooties.

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 amusement park.

Moving from the "kids table" to the adults table for Holiday supers.

Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.

Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"

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

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapons.

Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest

protectors.

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

I was too old for that stuff posted. I'd be better if it said growing up in the 80's. In 1990 I was 13. I didn't play with toys at 13, I upgraded to video games and girls. :D

Did you read mine Nick, in the next post !! LOL

Old man !!
