The 90's

THE 90'S


.. Anybody under the age of 15 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '92 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 nineties just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

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

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"

You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tu Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"

on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You danced to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, Females: had a new motto, Males: got a whole lot gay-er. (so tell me what you want, what you really really want.)

"I've fallen and I can't get up"

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

Two words... Trapper Keeper.

You never got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

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 watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS WERE THE BEST MYSTERY BOOKS

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

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

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You remember a time before the WB.

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

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You thought Brain woud finally take over the world

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

You remember when everyone went slinky crazy.

You remember when razor scooters were cool.



When we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods...

Before MIKE JONES...

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...

...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 & paid $3.50 for a movie.

Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

Class field trips.

When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

When $5 seemed like a million, & 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:

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'

'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'

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

Being old referred to anyone over 20.

A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.

Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.

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

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.

Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and you put your name on hold for it at the library.

When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

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

I so totally remember pretty much all of this. God I miss those days

[nubz]

I remember wearing MC Hammer pants... the hardy boys are STILL the best mystery books, and I've got my 'pog' collection still.

does anyone remember the rock hard chewing gum in baseball cards?
when you could buy the BIG gummies for 5 cents?
when GameBoy came out and we all scrunched up our faces like moles to try and see the screen?
when Sega Game Gear came out and it was suddenly the greatest thing in the world? (WOW! COLOR!)
kids shows.... Reading Rainbow, anyone? The Littlest Hobo?
Did you ever WISH you were Pee-Wee Herman?? hehe, I tried so hard to get my mom to buy that suit for me...
what about the show 'My Secret Identity?' I think I'm really showing my age if I tell people I used to listen to the Lone Ranger on the radio. you won't believe me, but I did.

How about when it was safe enough that a kid could ride his bike halfway across town to softball practice, and noone would think twice? I saw this little rugrat face-plant on his little bmx the other day, pulled over to ask if he was all right, and between the blood and tears he started yelling 'stranger' at me! I was laughing so hard that when a neighbour came out to see what all the noise was, she thought I ran him over!
hell, you kids these days get bomb threats, and kids bringing guns to school... when I was a kid, we had a fire drill twice a year, and if there was an argument about whose turn it was on the swings, we'd head to the back of the field, and the first one with a bloody nose lost. there was no such thing as a bully, because even the biggest guy would get a nosebleed.

and I remember my rollerskates. I was cool.

[Vash]

Remember ever last one of the things that were listed by Karalyn. Never wished to be Pee-Wee Herman. As a little kid I was deathly afraid of that guy. Also I reamember Reading Rainbow. See the thing is I grew up as a flower child because of my mom and I was a 80's hellion because of my brothers David, Derick, and Casey.
