And I loved it.

I looooooved Adventures in Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts reminded me soo much of my grandma. I remember I had her sit down and watch it with me b/c they looked so similar.

How could anyone not know who lamb chop is? My 14 year old cousin knows lambchop (well that is because she used to looove The Nanny, and Lamb chop was a "guest star" once).

I remember on our 4th grade trip to Midland, we sang "the song that never ends" pretty much the whole way there! lol.

What was the name of the jukebox video channel?

The one where you had to call in to get your vidoe played at like... what? $2.99 a song?

I wonder how many parents' phone bills were in the hundreds for that.

*Double Dare. I can't be the only person in the world who ever wondered what that green Nickelodeon slime tasted like.

*I had a Cabbage Patch obsession growing up. I think I had like 7 or 8 of them. Remember the "Crimp & Curl" one? Her hair was like, specially treated yarn so when your curled it, it stayed. Then they started making them with actual hair, and I was like WTF?

*When Disney movies were NOT ALL Pixar ones. Don't get me wrong, I love Finding Nemo & Wall-E, but I miss when movies like Aladdin came out and it was a HUGE deal to go see it.

nikki1920 02-19-2009 02:35 PM

The Box, duh! lol

I sooo wanted to be on Double Dare!! I have 5 Cabbage Patch Dolls.

I had the recepie for it: water, flour, green food coloring, I think.

KSUVi: I'm talking before Aladdin, which used computer animation (the Cave of Wonders). I'm talking Oliver and Company (HOW did it get to be the 20th anniversary of its release?) with Billy Joel doing the soundtrack!! Why should I wor-ray, tell meh, why should I caayyyyyyarrree? I may not have a dime, but I've got street savoir faire!! (sp, my french no es bueno, lol!)

I've eaten some! I remember it tasted kind of like applesauce. But I think there are many different ways to make it.

nikki1920 02-19-2009 02:53 PM

This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
And we'll continue singing it
Forever
Just because

annnd repeat

ad nauseum.. lol

Lambchop was definitely a girl!

ETA: At least she was a girl when her & Sheri Lewis guest starred on The Nanny.

I loved that show when I was little!

Remember that they NEVER showed their nanny's/mom's/whoever's face? All they ever showed were her green and white socks.
