Ha, I am totally going back to my eighties roots myself...I spent last night watching "The Goonies" because I was nostalgic. And then I downloaded a massive ONE HUNDRED KILOBYTES of gameage in the form of "Transylvania," a text-based adventure game I played in the late eighties on green-screen computers in primary school. I never realised how much I missed being eaten by that badly rendered werewolf every five minutes... [wipes away a tear]

And why the bloody hell isn't this in reruns?


You're a 90's kid if:

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain, and Two Stupid Dogs.
Ah, Nicktoons and the original Kids WB rocked my socks off. I used to have very dirty fantasies about Freakazoid.

You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.
I also have vague recollections of the short-lived shows that rotated through when Dinosaurs went off.  "Camp Wilder" with Jerry
O'Connell and Hilary Swank come to mind.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
Hell, I still remember when NBC was still MAKING cartoons before it gave up to concentrate on teen comedies.

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

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time."
...and you had to hit "stop" and "record" at the right times to avoid the DJ's.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
She's on the Oregon Trail...with dysentery, somewhere around Independence Rock.

You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.
And Square One, it helped mold me into the socially-awkward math nerd I am today.

When you were grown up when you turned 7, cuz you could watch are you afraid of the dark because it was tvY7!
That was the most awesome show! I had this massive crush on Gary, the one with the glasses.

You haven't always had a computer...and u lived without the internet. (who woulda thought)
I'd remained unaware of the power of the internets until I'd gotten to college in 98. It now owns my mortal soul.

Not and Psyche/Sike are out of style now? Really?! Wow, I've watched most of those and this makes me feel all nostalgic. But I did have a computer pretty much from the start. Aww.
TROLL DOLLS.
Ring pops rocked.

Ah the 90's...I am now pining for all of my childhood cartoons.  I miss Rocko's Modern Life ;_;

... -cries- SO JEALOUS here, KissingT.Kiryuu. Actually, I don't even have cable anymore, but our Nick's lost those shows a while ago, but it sometimes shows Angry Beavers. Never had Nicktoons.

I remember the old days on the internet when the men were men and the women were also men.

In the old days, boys uesd to keep dirty magazines of naked women under their mattresses and their mums always found them, nowdays, they keep jpgs of girls sucking dog dicks and other sick ass shit in a secret file and their mums have no idea at all.

in the old days, if you posted a picture of a model and claimed it was you, plenty of suckers believed you, nowdays, only morons fall for that old trick.

In the old days, finding anything besides porn on the internet was very time consuming, nowdays they have Wikipedias and Google.com

In the old days, real lesbians had to deal with all the guys and fake girls who invade the lesbian chatrooms, nowdays they just pose as guys and hang out in yaoi chatrooms where most actual guys wouldn't dare tread.

I think it stemmed from the 80s, though, didn't it? From Pee-Wee's Playhouse?

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

I recall a lot of this stuff and miss some of it and in regards to

Freaking WORD.

He was my first crush. I used to have fantasies about becoming his assistant, out-smarting him in all areas, and taking over Nye Laboratories. Had I imagined this ten years older, it would have lead to LAB COAT SEX.

KissingT.Kiryuu wrote:

FUCKING YES.

And yet I cannot find ANY of his videos ANYWHERE. They have them at the schools, but at no public libraries where the teachers supposedly RECIEVE THEM FROM.

My poor brother and sisters are going to miss out on the Bill Nye awesomeness. Poor little midget-children. *pets her eight-year-old brother, and her six-year-old and two-year-old sisters*
