"I am so much older than I can take."

[bipper]

A more obscure song reference, but I kept the long dead trend GOEing, dammit.

Anywys, I was thinking of how ridiculously old and crab Rastilin is and I decided to bring this up -

I want you all to post a rant about the good old days, your good old days. Young people, post about power rangers or Pokemon. Just something about your good ol days, and what made them awesome. Then sulk over your age, and the fact that you will be to old to enjoy anything in a few decades.

i miss how nintendo was awesome and unparalleled and dominated video gaming. i miss how every kid loved ninja turtles no matter who they were.

i miss how a dollar could buy you a load of candy and riding your bike was fast as hell, and an hour seemed like a helluvalong time

i miss how every summer seemed so long too, and i miss not measuring time in decades. i miss the fact that kids had to be smart or they were held back a grade.

The only thing I miss is Jurassic Park and Pogs.

I miss the days when Pokemon didn't look totally gay. I mean, I know it's hard to design 150 of them each time, but seriously, it won't hurt to make more of them look cool!

I moved into my college dorm today. I prettymuch miss everything about my childhood.

[Yamaneko]

Childhood is overrated.

[Araciel]

whoever said youth is wasted on the young isn't having enough fun being an adult...'tis true.

The only thing I miss is Jurassic Park and Pogs.

[Jojee]

[Shlup]

I bought one of those recently.

It wasn't as fun as I remembered so I gave it to my sister.

A facebook friend has this in her profile. ;_; Oh memories.

We are the kids of the 90’s. The kids who are still terrified of ET, and still excited when they see a My Little Pony or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Who still sometimes treat themselves to Capri Sun’s or Lunchables. We said, if you like it so much why don't you marry it!? We are the kids who know every character from Saved By the Bell and can sing the entire theme song to the Fresh Prince. We used to wake up and run to the only TV in our house to see Eureka’s Castle or Fraggle Rock. Snap bracelets, Skip-it's, curly shoe laces, side pony's, crimped hair, recess! We remember when our first computer weighed more than we did and had a solid black screen and yellow type. The first Gameboy was a genius technological invention to us and playing it was usually saved for car rides only since 90’s cartoons were far more interesting and we still had Nintendo. We grew up with Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 1 and 2. We crushed on Uncle Jesse. We idolized Donna, Kelly, and Brenda on 90210 if our parents allowed us to tune in on Wednesday nights. We got in trouble in school for wearing Bonne Bell lipstick…AND for having Tamagotcis hidden in our desks. Talk to the hand! We hosted nightly rounds of Ghost in the Graveyard and Freeze Tag with our neighborhood friends. Knew every passage way through every backyard on our block, just incase our neighborhood bully would pull up on his bike, with his Mohawk hair, just to put worms in ours. We lived through the technological revolution… we were the last of the innocent youth. We are the junk generation.

I miss the days when Nickelodeon was actually good and Nick-at-Nite ran 50s and 60s shows a lot. I loved All That and Are You Afraid of the Dark, and watching I Love Lucy and Munsters marathons during the summer. Now that I think about it, I used to watch a lot of tv as a kid

My late 1980s childhood toys I only had one doll, TAKARA barbie and some plastic beach shovel and pail.

My 1990s consisted of watching out for the Jetsons-- and Yogi bear, also getting hungry at the thought of what's inside yogi's picnic basket.

And boo. I never had tamagotchi.

[Renmiri]

I just watched ET with my kids and it was hard to explain to them what was so special about it...

I feel old

[bipper]

I was born the year ET came out.
