You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not

when everyhting was settled by:
-rock paper scissors or
-pole tiggy

when cops and robbers was a daily activity.

when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

when we used to obey our parents

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together. ♥♥♥

When everyone fought over being baby spcie and no one ever wanted to be scary spice.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.dont forget nintendo 64

You always wanted to send in a tape to Australia's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

You remember Ring Pops (maybe us kiwis think push pop?)

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.

Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.

You played and/or collected "Tarzo's"

You had at least one Tamagotchi and brought it everywhere.

one word. . . Furbies.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

And Windows 95 was the best.
Then Windows 98 was better.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.

And you stayed up late and watched that first ever episode of south park, the aliens or mechastresan

Michael Jordan was a king.

YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out

You collected those Beanie Babies.

Carebears

Lambchop's song never ended.

You collected all the Troll dolls

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

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

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

Before Spongebob . . .

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 petrol was 80 cents a litre & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded
stuff on VCRs.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.

When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do.

You had slap / fuck bracelets!

Fluro Zinc, Chatter rings, those click pens with 40 different colours, Tamiya 4x4 Cars, The Beastie boys, The Lion King...
