Caribspice,
You are talking about View Master!!! I had those, too! Speaking of McDonald's, whatever happened to the Burger King man? And I remember when McDonald's first started selling Happy Meals! What about favorite childhood movies? I think I know all the lines to "Annie" and I admit I recently bought the soundtrack. I liked the "Great Muppet Caper". By the way, did anyone else have the Mickey Mouse Disco album growing up? I found it on Amazon.com and bought the cd. I really enjoyed my childhood. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |

Quote:
I STILL have my Mickey Mouse Disco album!!!!! |
"Macho, macho, duck...macho, macho..."
"Watch out, watch out for Goofy, watch out for Goofy..." "Welcome, welcome to Rio, welcome, welcome to Rio..." "Mouse trap, will snap, and grab you by the tail..." Darn it. I can't think of anymore songs from that album! |
Rooty Tooty --- I remember trying to "learn" the words to that commercial!!! **lol** And, speaking of big earrings, what about the Janet Jackson ("Control") phase --- Big hoops with the key on one side. I thought I was the bomb with my key earring and two-tones (AKAtude) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif! And what about "The Jets" (remember the song You've Got It All Over Him) where all 50 members of the group were brothers and sisters? And then came ... Purple Rain (Poplife, have you mentioned Prince yet?) and Morris Day with "The Bird".
|
I don't know if it has been mentioned, but was I the only one that was in front of the TV every 2 hours on the hour to watch Michael Jackson's Thriller on MTV?
|
Okay, I totally forgot about Carebears.
I think it is amazing how many people have come out of the woodwork to share their precious memories. To the SF who mentioned fried bologna with the slits on the side, you had me rollin', and don't forget to put mustard on that fried bologna sandwich. Humph, think I still don't get in the mood for a ghetto breakfast, just the other day I made cheese grits....Being broke wasn't all that bad...gives you humor!!! Alright people...Peace and Hair grease to you all, I ain't JIVIN'. P.S. Maybe it was just me, but I thought jive-turkey was the worst thing you could be called when I was little!!! |
I thought I was getting away with something when I echoed Flo's greatest line from "Alice"- KISS MY GRITS!
|
I had the short and wore it ALL the time!
Remember KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND! |
Let me start a list of How Come's from back in the day.
How come I woke up early every Saturday morning to watch cartoons? (Teen Wolf, Galaxy High, Scooby Doo, The Littles, Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show) How come I had to have cereal with my cartoons? (it was proper protocal) How come I watched Tarzan and the Lone Ranger faithfully at noon on Saturdays? How come Smokey the Bear would tell me only I could prevent forest fires? How come we don't see Smokey anymore? How come I still have my old toys? How come I recently gave my little niece my easy bake oven and got mad when she didn't appreciate it? How come I never got a Snoopy Snow Cone Machine because I forgot to ask Santa every year? How come I still have my Light Bright, Hungry Hungry Hippo, PacMan, Family Feud and I'm not giving it to my little niece. How come back in the day you better not say a bad word about Michael Jackson? How come I don't care now? How come I didn't realize Prince was truly the bomb until I got older? How come BET was the bomb when we were little? (I was born in 75) How come it's trash now with the exception of a few shows? How come when you went to the movies and saw The Color Purple, you came back to school trying to recite the lines? You told Harpo to beat me. How come my neighbors got mad at me because I had the skates with the plastic wheels and they had the metal How come fire would form under the skates? How come The double dutch bus was the jam? How come a few years ago I found out Ray Charles did some of the soundtracks for School House Rock? How come I'm late about that piece of information but I know some of you didn't know either? How come I still have the first Nintendo ever made? How come it's collecting dust on top of my tv right this day? How come if I keep this Nintendo and have children, they will laugh at me for having such an out of date piece of trash? How come I'm keeping it anyway for sake of nostalgia? How come I love this topic? I would like thank you all for taking me back down memory lane. It's something that no matter where we live, we have some of the same childhood memories. We are adults now but we can still laugh about the memories....thanks. |
Someone previously mentioned Pop Rock candy, which made me think of something......
Why were there MAD RUMORS going around that Mikey (the Life cereal boy) ate them and washed them down w/Pepsi and exploded. Don't act like you didn't believe that rumor back in the day!!!

Remember when walking to the store for your neighbor that you didn't like was fun just because that meant you got to leave the block. What about having to sit on your steps inside the gate because the older boys were now playing foot ball on the street. |

Force Md's Tender Love Troop I can't wait to get to school each day and wait for you to pass my way and bells start to ring and angels start to sing hey that's the girl for you. Now you know that was the jam. Those were the days. |
I have to reply yet once again. Does anyone remember when the German Shepherd was the dog to have. Someone in the neighborhood always had one and named him King. In my neighborhood there was one named "Midnight" and everyone was scared to go outside and play when you saw him. That was back in the day before it was a law to keep dogs on chains and they roamed around.
|
Pink Cashmere, I'm ROTFL!!! I remember Dobermans were the dogs, and older kids would make the dogs chase us down the street!
I remember someone mentioned something about skating. To this day, I still can't skate! After a while, I just gave up on it. My bottom couldn't take it any more! |
What about Romper room ( I see Vanda, and Billy and AKAtude, and Discogoddess LOL), One dollar getting you loads of candy, The Solid Gold Dancers ( go Darcell), The Righteous Apples (sp) , Up and Coming, Jumping Irish, Chinese rope, pleather jackets, wearing hospital scrubs as regular clothes, Sweat bands, wristbands, tabletop pacman, connect four?

Vonda, girl how old are you? I remember Romper Room. Do you remember the little yellow can-like things with the green plastic cords that you walked on? I had some and I remember them being a toy they had on Romper Room. Oooh girl, so very long ago.
Do we remember the Lemon Twist? Better yet, do you remember when you could wear it around your waist http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ? What about ZOOM and New Zoo Reveiw (Henrietta Hippo)? AKAtude, you (or somebody, so many posts ago)mentioned Degrassi Junior High, I watched that too. Tell me if you can think of the name of this dance show that used to come on SCETV on Saturday night. It would feature kids from SC schools (high school or junior high). I remember watching it but can't conjure up the name. Speaking of dancing...Dance Fever w/ Denny Terio...Solid Gold...the REAL Soul Train...America Bandstand...what about Casey Kasem's Top Ten? I feel so old, but its nice looking back!! |
I just turned 27! I don't know if this was a regional thing or it may have been mentioned in earlier posts, but do you remember yellin "no cobbs" when you didn't want to share? Remember when Gary Coleman had his own cartoon?

"Don't eat Pop Rocks with soda. A kid in Texas died doing that" When Bartles and James wine coolers first came out, the old men on their commercials, "Thanks for your support" Tuck combs in every color to match every outfit, wearing more than one color at a time Wearing mismatched earrings, one long and a stud What about Ray Parker, Jr. (Where is he now?)

And speaking of movies--"Lady Sings the Blues"--it was the first movie to make me cry. Between "Lady" and "Mahogany", Diana Ross was THE woman--I wanted to BE her! Oh, now I'm singing "Upside down, boy, you turn me. . ." |
I wonder what ever happened to that chinese-looking woman, you know that was Pre-vietnameese, asian , and korean days, anyway that woman with the long hair that was on Soul Train. You know she was a Sat. morning Icon. We would put scarves and towels on our heads tying to imitate her, but ususally breaking our necks from swinging too much!

I forgot the name of the show "Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge...I'm tryin not to loose my head...ahaha ha ha, it's like a jungel sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from goin under..." What ever happened to MS Melody?
