Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You know you miss the 90's. You're a 90's kid if:You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House" You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. You remember reading "Goosebumps" You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off" 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.) 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... Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show. Captain Planet. You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together. You remember when super nintendos became popular. You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders" "I've fallen and I can't get up" You remember boom boxes vs. cd players You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool 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'd use to listen to the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys. You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out. You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes. You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" You remember shitting your pants while laughing when you watched "Mars Attacks!". You know the Macarena by heart. "Talk to the hand" ... enough said You thought Brain would 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 WWE it's use to be WWF. The Rock VS Triple H. Before Sidekicks & iPods... Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX or Gamecube... ...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. When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans. When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever. Tag. Get Over Here!!!! means something to you. Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk. Red Light, Green Light. Heads Up 7 Up. Playing Kickball & Dodgeball until your porch light came on. Hopskotch. Tree Houses. Hula Hoops. Hot Wheels. Barbie. Running through the sprinklers. That "Little Mermaid" Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King. Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car. Getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car. Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It" Or what about: Hey Arnold. Rugrats. The Secret World of Alex Mac. Rocco's Modern Life. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Doug. Magic School Bus. Aladdin. Pinky and the Brain Sailor Moon. Dragonball Z. Blossom. Beavis & Butt-Head Wishbone. Bill Nye the Science Guy MR RODGERS!!!! Where everyone wanted to be in love after watching The Wonder Years. Under the Umbrella Tree PEE-WEE!!! The Big Comfy Couch Kool-Aid was the drink of choice. 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'. Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.' Being old referred to anyone over 20. A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery. When Ninja Turtles ruled the world. 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!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
