Memories for the majority of OOT

Some guy recently posted about what he remembers about growing up in the 60's. Most of us cant relate, as shown by the recent OOT demographics poll. This is a thread about what we remember about growing up in the 80's and 90's. (I assure you I did not steal this from a chain email.)


-Watching the Muppet Show

-Wondering what that fool Theo was going to do next on The Cosby Show, followed by americas favorite republican, Alex P Keaton...all on Thursday night.

-Best Sports Video Game- Tecmo Bowl...dont try to use the 49ers, theyre illegal, cuz that offense is unstoppable.

-1st car...mine was a dumpy 1983 Ford Escort wagon, this damn car would break down if you sat down in it too hard.

-Fashion trends--anyone remember Skids??? How about Z. Cavarricci?? HyperColor?? B.U.M. Equipment? How about tightrolling your pants?

-Spending every autumn and winter wondering why the hell do the NE Patriots suck so bad...

-Christmas list as a kid--He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers, and that stupid Frisbee with the built in spot in the middle so you could spin it around your finger (what was that called?)

-Not being able to get out of bed to go to school in 4th grade at 7 AM, but up running around by 6AM on Saturday morning.

-Signing up for one of those 12 CD's or tapes for $1, then just buy 6 more over 12 months at regular price scams...and forgetting to mail back in the monthly "Spotlight" CD and having to buy the MF'er...
