That is too funny. A marshmallow in a cup of hot chocolate http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Yeah, the Beastie Boys are still cool although I am NOT familiar with much of the new stuff except "Intergalactic" if that was the name of it.

The ****tail thing is too funny for words. Hmmm...I wonder what other words get censored?

I watched Baretta and he had a ****atoo. Little birds that look sorta like ****atoo's are ****atiels http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Okay, I'm going overboard now.

PEACE

Needless to say, I missed out on at least two seasons of my favorite show. They JUST started showing the reruns here. They come on at 7 and 7:30 am. Needless to say, I cut it close every morning just to watch my show. I almost cried the other day when they showed the one where Dwayne Wayne goes to Whitley's wedding and breaks it up. Aaahhh. Damn, they need to do 'A Different World 2000'. Let's work on that


etienneSAI 07-20-2000 07:31 PM

TV shows: i KNOW y'all remember head of the class (with dennis, simone, eric and janine), josie and the *****cats, snorks (saturday mornings, baby!), wuzzles (butterbear, rhinokee...you know you remember that...)

music: debbie gibson, paula abdul (that video where she danced with the cartoon cat!), tiffany (i wanted to BE her), lisa lisa and cult jam (which was already said, but still fantastic) and of course...the JETS! you KNOW you remember the jets!

one thing we haven't discussed yet was language. slang...let's go there, shall we??

dag! dudical, radical, far out, wooooah, chillin' like a villin' on penicillin', GAG me with a SPOON! someone chime in now....

How ya'll go talk about the beastie boys and not mention "you gotta fight for your right to party"

And while we are talking about songs and videos remeber when MTV actually played videos..lol

Why ya'll got make me pull out another one of my list now here goes...

Ways To Tell If You're Stuck in the 1980's

1. Your fondest childhood memory is when Skippy got his head stuck in the banister
2. You relax by putting on your legwarmers and dancing to the Footloose soundtrack
3. You think the two Coreys are "totally awesome"
5. Punky Brewster is your hero
7. You still resent your parents for not installing a dumbwaiter in your house like Webster's
8. The only video games you play are Frogger and Pac Man
9. You're building your own Clockwork Smurf
10. Your summer attire is Jellies and Jams
11. A-Ha's Take on Me is still your favorite video
12. You consider yourself truly, truly, truly outrageous, much like Jem and the Holograms
13. You wonder why more people don't wear high heels, tight jeans, and lacy ankle socks
15. Every time you go to the beach you look for Snorks
16. You're still upset Madonna and Sean broke up
17 You know who Stinky Sullivan is
19. You want to be Molly Ringwald when you grow up
22. You think there should be a Kids Incorporated original cast reunion
23. You think of Janet Jackson as "that girl who used to date Willis"
24. You can sing the theme song to Small Wonder
25. Every time you see a fountain you want to dance around it and yell "Fame!"
26. You still have a shoebox full of Garbage Pail Kid cards
27. You write your congressman asking him to introduce a bill to make Born in the USA the national anthem
28. You still use your Snoopy Sno-Cone machine
29. You know it's not "comma, comma, comma" it's karma
32. You still practice your Care Bear Stare
34. You can name all of the Wuzzles
37. In your spare time you are writing The Breakfast Club 2
67. You can name all of the Thundercats
73. You organize weekend tournaments of tv tag
76. When you're stuck in traffic you tell your car to “engage Turbo Boost” and are surprised when it doesn't talk back
77. You remeber when Venessa sang "locaomation" in karaokee
82 You still use your hair crimper before going out on a hot date
85. You have We Are the World on 45


That was rather long, sorry guys

but I do have another one somewhere I if can find it....it's a little better

blu!!!!!!!!!! Girl, dang, I had forgotten all about Small Wonder:

She's fantastic
Made of plastic
Microchips here and there
She's a smaaaaall wonder
And she'll make your heart beat ????

What the hell are the rest of the words? Hmm. It's too late to be callin people up like "Ay, you remember the words to that show with the robot girl? Li'l white girl. Don't act like you don't know the song...."

Okay. Blu.... lemme borrow those Different World tapes.

Damn, all the Wayans were on there the first season. Y'all peep that?

Rhoyal Blue_22 07-20-2000 08:57 PM

Let's see, things I hope never come back:
1)Baby hair-you know how females slicked the edges of their hair-yuck!
2)fat laces in the sneakers
3)the human beat box-or as I call it, the human spit box
4)high top fades!
I do however wish the wop would come back-I loved that dance as well as the robot. I wish the whole care free attitude of the 80's would come back. You know, when you could wear your favorite shirt, with your favorite pants-even if it didn't match-you just felt good. Everyone's too caught up in the superficial things. I know in the 80's, I didn't care!

Why did I have a special toothbrush to brush down that baby hair..knowing by the end of the day it would be all sweatty and knappy

And remeber those two braids you got in your hair right in the front of your head one on each side to hold down that hard to tame hair....ya'll know you gotta picture with them

And when you had to stay up all Saturday night before Easter to get your hair braided until you got old enough to actually get those bannana curls in them....and we ain't even go get on Easter outfits..lol

bklyndelta 07-20-2000 09:44 PM

did anyone ever watch nickelodeon's "you can't do that on television?" I DON'T KNOW...(slime) i was never allowed to watch that show. my mom thought it had no point (which it didn't, but did THAT really matter)

ooh ooh, i just thought of something else: did any of you have spokey-dokes on your bikes? you put them on your bike pegs and they made noise? them, and did you stick a baseball card in your back pegs so it'd flutter around and sound like a motorcycle? you KNOW you did...

How 'bout this DELTABRAT. I remember once I was scrunching down in the chair because I could feel the heat real close to my ears. I hated feeling that heat so close to my skin. Anyway, my grandmother (who raised me) dropped the hotcomb down the back of my shirt trying to pull me up. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif She felt soooooo bad. (Yeah, I milked it for a week) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Unfortunately, the next Saturday after she washed my hair, I was back in the chair.

Hey MaMa,

I think you're too late with wearing sweat pants with one leg up and one leg down. That seems to be coming back in style. It seems like all guys here in Louisiana are doing the one leg up/one leg down thing.

My roommate and I took a strool down memory lane just the other day. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Does ANYbody remember a cartoon called Kid Video or am I the only one?

We can forget Alf,Diff'ert Storkes,Webster,and New Kids on The Block in the mix!

And yes i watched You Can't Do That on Television! I loved that show sooo much.

Monique 07-21-2000 05:38 PM

lol..lmao..Yall got me crying over..I really don't wanna see the pink lipstick,MCHammer pants, those shiney black shoes, wearing different socks to match your clothes along with the twistas in ya hair to go along..lol.. what the hell was i thinking..
Does anyone remember jjfad SuperSonic or Boom i got your boyfriend. What about easy bake ovens..I still play with my easybake..and it be rollin

Monique 07-21-2000 05:40 PM

and how could i forget ...Jerhi Curls...please leave that where ever it is..that smell makes me sick to my stomach..lol.. u can always tell when u are in the room with someone with a curl..lol

DELTABRAT 07-21-2000 05:57 PM

Hmm, not only the smell but the greasy residue on pillows, car seats, clothes, not to mention your face )if you had a boyfriend, like me with one)...remember the LONGER the better. I had a boyfriend whose curl was waaaaaayyyy down his back. I can't believe I thought that sh*% was cute.

Ugghh.

etienneSAI 07-21-2000 09:51 PM

BOOM i got your boyfriend...i got your man now
BOOM i got your boyfriend...i got your man!

no you didn't just take it there...

i remember kid video! but here's my ultimate 80's test. there was this show on TV that ran for a short period of time. i was in fourth grade at the time and it was called "beverly hills teens". i know there was a girl on the show named lark, and i think another named veronica or vanessa (something with a V). VERY few people i know remember them.

hey, does anyone remember popples and nosy bears? popples you could turn almost inside out and smack the shit out of someone else with them...and nosy bears, i believe you squeezed thier tummy and thier nose did something. i know i still have my nosy bears lunchbox and thermos. (took it to my summer class last night where EVERYONE was crackin' up...talk about a trip in the way-back machine...)

Dang...I saw the taping of Charles in Charge and thought I was the sh*%.

Okay, I know this isn't far back enough but I know I am old because it still qualifies (10 years ago).


De LA Soul
X-Clan...To the east blackwards sissyyyyyyyy!
Public Enemy


I saw a sistah with hella baby hair just yesterday. It wasn't really baby hair though because it started like, in the middle of her scalp but she had it lllaaaiiiddd.

Yeah, the baby hair toothbrush was all brown and crunchy, but we didn't care as long as it did the trick.

Remember the two cornrows down either side of your head and getting your hair braided sooo
tight, your eyes were slanted back and you had a headache (my mom is real heavy-handed).

Remember the ORIGINAL Guess Jeans with the zippers on the sides of the leg (at the bottom) with the matching denim jackets.

Remember Saturdays at the kitchen stove getting your hair pressed out. It was hot and when your mama pressed parts that were hella greasy, it burned like hell, but you couldn't move or make a sound...you had to be hard...suck it up.

Remember when your mom used to put the tight a%* curls in your head that never moved...ever...they were greasy and lifeless...maybe? Perhaps it was just me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I love the part when Lettie starts hollering at her and can't think of anything to call her but a TEENAGER


And the part when Walter (sinbad) was like "You didn't use your Walter Oaks date pack!"
and lettie's "Lettie be ready date pack"

Things I WISH would come back:

1) Ok, some might hate me, but I was big time 'New Kids on the Block' fan. I STILL listen to the music.

2) Jelly shoes. I loved those things.

3) Monster 80's love songs. Have any of ya'll ever seen the "Monster 80's" sound track they advertise on TV? I want that soooo bad!

4) Respect. When I was in school, we respected our teachers/parents/adults. Nowdays, the schools are sooo out of control. So that's one thing I wish would come back.

5) Atari. If I HAD to buy a video game, I'd want atari. I loved those things.

6) Being allowed to play with murcury in classes. I know it's bad for you now, but I always loved playing with murcury.

7) Big Earings. I had soooo many huge earings. Actually, I still have them, sitting in my jewelry box. I'd love to break those bad boys out.

8) I loved those little friendship pins. We put little colored beads on a safety pin and attach them to our shoe laces. Those things were so cute.

Things I could really do without:

1) Jelly bracelets all the way up your arm

2) Jeans with writing all over/slashed knees

4) two words BIG HAIR

5) different colored socks. The obcession in the 80's was to have every color BUT white, now I try hard to never wear colored socks. Black and white are the only 2 colors I own.

6) Biker shorts. OMG--what the hell were we thinking?

7) Anything PINK. That movie "Pretty in Pink" with molly ringwald (sp?) did it for me, my entire wardrobe was PINK! If I never wear pink again, I'd be lovin it.

8) Hypercolor shirts. The one's that changed colors when your body temperature
changed.

9) Stickers that you could put on your arm like a tatoo. I used to wear those things ALL the time.

the rest of the words (the last part) are as follows:

she's a smaaaalll wonder
brings love and laughter everywhere!

I can't believe I remember that.

mwedzi 07-24-2000 09:14 AM

Okay, I had to say more. Now I know at least some of ya'll remember the hand games we played. This sound familiar?:

*feet stomping, hands clapping*
My name is Nikki and my color is blue,
I stole your boyfriend cuz he did not want you
And that ain't all for today
the butt is stinky but the back is okay.

what the h%!@ was I talking about?!? I was like nine years old. I didn't have no man!

Or this one:

tetherball (pronounced "tedaball"), tetherball I said "aoosha asha"
tetherball, tetherball I said "aoosha ash"
My name is Nikki (tetherball)
I'm super cool (tetherball)
You mess with me (tetherball)
You a fool (tetherball)
I got this n!#@! (tetherball)
On my mind (tetherball)
Yes mess with him (tetherball)
And I will kick your behind (what?)
Kick your behind! (uh!)

And I was saved from the jheri curl, but my cousin wasn't as fortunate. And I didn't go in with that brown toothbrush everyone used for their hair, but I wasn't saved from the pressing comb. Or this little-toothed comb my father used to call "Combaloo." "Come in here and bring Combaloo," and I'd be like "no, Daddy!" * http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif So glad I went natural and comb my hair with nothing but a pick!

etienneSAI 07-24-2000 01:22 PM

man, in my house, barbie was SUCH a whore! she was a femme lesbian, one was a butch lesbian *my sister and i had no ken doll, so we hacked off the hair on a barbie, named her nevada and she was the "ghetto" ken*. baebie would give these office presentations and jump ken right in the meeting...

Naw, you weren't the only one. My Barbie wasn't a lesbian, but she was a B****, extraordinaire.

She'd whip anyone's ass who even attempted to get near Ken's a**..regardless of the fact that he hadn't any genitals.

And don't let her lose one of thoe hard to find a** pumps of hers...she was all over the whole neighborhood ready to beat down whomever had the shoe. Regardless of the fact that they never really fit her feet anyways.

Same went for the diamond stud earrings of hers (they had to be like 8-10 karats...when you think of them in relation to the size of her ears).

That's right, Skipper WAS her little sister.
My Barbie beat her down too, for trying to get with Ken. It woulda helped if there were some other men in the neighborhood...damn...Ken was the only testosterone (barely) for miles.

Yeah, Barbie had some adventures...

Wow you and your sis were pretty creative to create a butch Barbie named Nevada.

I never thought of that.

Monique 07-24-2000 03:16 PM

lol..lol..lmaooo..What..Ghetto Barbie..Gay Ken..lol.. yall sick..Some of u didn't have anythingelse to do with your dolls..that shit was tooooooo funny to me!!lol

etienneSAI 07-24-2000 03:30 PM

deltabrat....

no you didn't just go there with the earrings and pumps! what about that huge-ass ring on her finger! you lost that and it's like she had a flesh wound...big hole through her hand.

god forbid someone try to steal barbie's car *i had the 57 chevy*. that bitch would HUNT you down and kill you once she found you. she'd dismember the guilty barbie *usually nevada...* and put the head in the trunk of the car as a "trophy" to show anyone in the neighborhood what happened if someone messed with her.

wonder if any of that rubbed off on me....

I mean a mansion, fancy cars, a beach house...I tell you what I think...I think she had mob ties (what was her last name anyway???) Either that or Ken was part of a drug cartel. Nobody owns all of that fly sh*t without doing something shady. Hmmm...

Remember Pop Rocks...

They were bomb until the story came out that someone swallowed some and their vocal cords got shredded to pieces. Damn. Why do people tell kids stories like that?

CArs:

Jeep Gran Cherokees
VW Cabriolet (I wanted one sooooo bad)
VB Beetle Bug (The original ones)
Cali folks...think car clubs/Crenshaw

El Caminos
Nissan Trucks
Nissan Sentras
Suzuki Jeeps with hella airbrush on them
like people's babies daddy's and stuff http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Forget it...yeah, I'm from Compton

6-4 Impala on Datons with the hydraulics
(this is when I got "fast")
Cadillacs with the same


Cazelles (Sun glasses)
Ray-Bans (the O.G ones...they're still in style but not the OLD style)


I had an Ice Cream doll (the big head ass doll with yarn for hair).


Why ain't nobody say the OG Doll...

BARBIE's RICH ASS!!!!

I had hella Barbie's
Ken
Skipper
The Dream House
The Corvette
The pool
You name it.

I knew I was in trouble when Ken started trying to get some from Barbie (humping)...although he was androgynous when you took his pants off.
That's why Barbie has so many friggin jobs, she's horny...Ken ain't right http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

She didn't ever have babies.

Was Skipper her cousin, friend, niece, neighbor?

Hmmmm...maybe Skipper was her...nevermind http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Sorry, I have lost my mind once and for all up in here.

Goodbye.


Oh yeah, and the Farrah Fawcet doll with the hellllla loooooonnnngggg nails and eyelashes.

I think Barbie was an undercover madame,myself. As stated earlier, how could she have all that fly stuff and chill all day. The doctor/lawyer/equestrian stuff were all fronts for her illegal pimpstress activities. Then she went to jail (around the time we all stopped giving a damn about her), now she's back and she has like 12 jobs. She also has a belly-button, now. Ain't that some sh**.

Well, let me continue with some other stuff...

I KNOW everyone remembers Rubik's Cube.

Remember when you'd peel the stickers off and arrange them so it "appeared" as if though you really figured the sh** out.

Remember that snake thingy where you could twist and turn it into different shapes.

WOW...games...

Remember Twister
The Oiuja Board (in my neighborhood, most Black fols wouldn't TOUCH that type of stuff)
Remember "Light as a feather...stiff as a board" at the slumber parties...everyone would lift up one person with two fingers only and they'd (supposedly) float to the top of the ceiling.

Remember "Bloody Mary" in the girls bathroom.
Someone would end up with scratches on their body.

Hell...Hide and go seek/ Hide and go get it (ghetto version with all the horny little neighborhood boys)...I NEVER played that...I really didn't.

Tag and hopscotch (of course)

hide and go get it, deltabrat? hmmm...sounds shady, if you ask me!

tell me you guys had hungry hungry hippos..that game was SO damn loud!

yeah, i had the rubik's cube...

i remember catching fireflies in a jar at dusk in my neighborhood *but only if i let them go, my mum said*

remember jailbreak? man, i played that around my whole neighborhood...it was awesome! hopscotch was cool until it rained. and remember bubbles? i ALWAYS played with bubbles. my parents say one of thier fondest moments of my childhood was when i'd play bubbles all day and the next time it rained, the driveway foamed!

Hey yall forgot something. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! yall remember them? ohhh what about the Mchammer pants? Oh and the Macauly culkin cartoon that came on saturdays? (i'll admit it i watched it). The slap braclets they hurt whenever you put them on your wrist. Those BIGO bows that mom would put in your hair, your bow would be bigger then your head. LOL! Ohh and what about staying up to 3am having your friend call the boy YOU liked.... I always liked watching full house, and when i got older i liked 90210 (the 30yrs in H.S. now that i look back they looked way to old for high school students)
and i loved the wonder years... Oh and just to let you know i'm 18 and i feel really old! I also bought my first greatest hits cd the other day. New Kids on the block--- http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ~ok that was fun~

DeltaBrat,

Are you serious about someone getting scratched by the Bloody Mary game? I was always too afraid.

Hey guys remember that game "Operations" and a slinky, a slinky! UNO, remember when rollar skates were the bomb! How about hand ball, and those ugly stretch pants that had the elastic part that went under your feet? What ever happened to Big Daddy Kane, and MC Shane?

DELTABRAT 07-26-2000 06:14 PM

Hey:

No, that was the supposed "myth" surrounding the game. One girl did have scratches but we all assumed someone else in the restroom (besides the dead Mary Quenn of Scott) did it.

Yes, Slinky was cool. The stretch pants were hideous. Big Daddy Kane fell off after that rumor that he had AIDS...remember. MS Shane...who knows.

Operation is ABSOLUTELY my favorite game. I JUST bought one for my son (yeah, right) last X-mas. The loud buzzing noise is too much for him to handle right now, though. That friggin' Adam's apple is a b**** to get out...damn!!
