You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

OH MY GOD, YES. Second grade. Whoever pioneered that trend was insane.

Yeah, so I can say yes to almost all of these, with the exceptions being the late 80s/very early 90s ones.

I REMEMBER TGIF- I miss it.

[Musical_nerd]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:42pm

TGIF was great, as was Sabrina.

Wasn't RALLY when they wrote it in that book and it appeared wherever the other kids were so they knew to get together?

I remember POGS, although I don't think I ever understood the point of them... other than the fact that I LOVED to collect them!

[Atrias]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 6:01pm

Aaah, the Power Rangers. That show went down the toilet when Tommy became the White Ranger.

And Oregon trail is indeed, "the ****". Gotta love those floppy disks!

[Katt]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 6:03pm

Aww, I miss TGIF also. I never missed it.

You forgot to add Hanging with Mr. Cooper to that list.

I remember putting all my family as names on Oregon Trail. I loved that game, although I don't remember playing it in school too much.

Half of those are absolutely for kids from the 80s.

[RENTingFAME]

I totally played that game... Dude, they stopped making games for my oldest computer in like, 99. It runs on windows 3.1. Most people don't even know that existed.

OREGON TRAIL, POGS......That's so me!

[pemberlee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 6:49pm

Did anyone every play the computer game Lemmings? I was addicted to that for a while.

And Skip-Its. I remember getting a pink one for my birthday and bringing it to school.

Also Duck Hunt, though I didn't own it myself.

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 6:54pm

OMG. Yikes pencils. I too would highlight most of the list, but I totally forgot the existence of these things till now. OMG, I loved those things.

And if you're gonna talk TGIF...Perfect Strangers people, part of the launching of it...Family Matters was spun off of it.

I didn't get up early for cartoons, but I did get up at 6AM every weekday to mousercise.

And I loved Skip-it, mine was blue.

And I never got hurt on the slip n' slide, though it never worked as well as it did on the commercials; I could never slide across the whole thing.

Wax On Wax Off was the '80s.

Posted: 5/2/06 at 7:09pm

I am a child of the 1960s. However, after 5 days in Las Vegas, I feel like a child of the 90s........the 1890s. I'm exhausted. Very funny list. I believe there is one for every decade starting in the 50s. They bring back many memories.

[Burlesquebabe]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 7:18pm

Shockingly true, I still want a slip and slide but I never had a backyard. *tear*

[eponine88]

Pogo Ball, anyone?

[erikaamato]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 10:27pm

Craig: I was thinking the same thing. Half of those are 80's references, and "Miss Mary Mack" was around in the freaking 50's!

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 10:36pm

I loved Skip-it! and hoola-hoops.

And then there was that game with the string and you put your fingers in different positions...I totally forget what it was called.

And then...it probably was the mid-90's, furbies!

And when I was little, I would BEG my family to play Mall Maddness with me. I lived for that game!

[LariTheLoud]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:23pm

All of these DEFINITELY apply to me. Oh, the memories...
