got this off a civic forum and laughed with a few of my friends... i guess most of you are a lot older... but who cares?

Got this off of MySpace and couldn't stop laughing becauase I related to about 95% of them..... Grin

Just because you were born in '90 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 "SIKE!"

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

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

TGIF, when stayin home on a friday night was worthwile

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 got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You used an actualy Floppy "floppy" disc with the hole in the center

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off"

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.)

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 red* Ranger were meant to be together.

To the last sentence you said.....hey...Tommy was the green* ranger!!!!

*later to be white

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being tommy.

You remember when super nintendo's became popular.

pressing "A,B, Up, Down, A, B, Left, Right, A, B, START" on your nintendo controller got you infinite lives.

Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were the best games to challenge friends.

Blowing into your nintendo and the game cartridge magically made them work!

Playing TMNT on the arcade machine with four friends playing at the same time.

Virtual Boy

Game Boy

You remember watching Home Alone 1 and 2........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

"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 ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE
he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stubbed his toe toe toe and thats the end end end of the elephants show show show

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 voted to make the new M&M color blue or purple

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?"

The Adventures of Pete and Pete

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.

WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

You had a pogo-ball (the toy that had a ring around the ball that you stood on the lip of so you could bounce around)

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 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

That's why I found my avatar to be so funny. I even have a T-shirt of it.lol I remember getting my first NES at software etc. for $50 lol Jackel FTW!!!
 
OOOOHHHH!! ahahaha i always wondered what that thing in your avatar was i get it now thats such an awesome shirt...
kids these days i guess all you can say is "wipe me"...
 
I always thought the 90's blew by and I and never paid attn, I guess I did. I'm 20 and 98% was me, they forgot Jurassic Park was the box office hit and we all played the action figures at school.
 
pretty much all was true for me. I'm only 23 and it made me feel old. In my case, Micro Machines and Matchbox cars was missing from the list...god those things were cool. Remember when Matchbox cars actually were made of metal and were coated with quality paint? With these new toys, you look at them the wrong way and they break.

I loved the 8-bit Nintendo game cartridge bit. I remember trying to play a game with my brother and if it didn't work right away, one of was always saying, "Well damn it, go blow on it!" On that same note: up up down down left right left right B A start = 30 lives on the original Contra on the 8-bit NES...and you had to do it before the intro screen finished loading...stressful for a kid!
 
i hate being an adult now, after reading this thread. life was so much better with just fun times at school and saturday morning cartoons. Now most of us have full time jobs, full time college, or both like me
 
wow...that really brings me back...and i still have my pogs, waiting for them to be cool again...anyone wanna play?
 
I still have my old collection yo, i pretty much caught them all!

I was born in '87 and I can relate to about 85% of everything on that list.

Funny stuff

:)
