nikki1920 · #4 04-19-2007, 04:19 PM

I had about 5 Swatches. *sigh* And the Swatch guards...

OOOH, no girl, you DIDNT go there about the Keds!!! Lol...
I did that too!! lol

Swatches....wow, that takes me back. I rocked 2 on one arm, Swatch guards and all. I had a Swatch twin phone, too.

I still rock Keds (have a couple pair in p/g). But, L.A. Gear was my isht back in the day...with double laces and all.

And, does anyone remember those Hypercolor shirts? I had 2 (in pink, of course)...still have 'em, too (packed away...somewhere).

Ah, those were the days!

I don't know if it has been mentioned but what about slap braclets!!

delph998 · #7 04-20-2007, 01:58 AM

Oh my goodness! Swatch watches, slap bracelets, Guess jeans, Keds?! These were definitely the good days.

When I think of back in the day, I also think about the music we listened to:

Boys II Mens' first album had come out
Mili Vanilli-Blame It On the Rain
New Kids on the Block-Sexx U Up!
New Edition/BBD
After 7-In the Heat of the Moment
Toni, Tony, Tone-Southern California

Ok, now we will see who really was an 80's kid....

Who used to play hand games? Like Slide -

"Slide, slide, one, one, one. One two, one two . . . "

And street songs with your girlfriends all in a circle:
You and Your girlfriends: Hollywoods are swinging, hollywoods are swing-in, hollywoods are swinging, hollywoods are swing-in.
You: My name is SC from the Kool and the Gang, if you don't like it let me tell you one thing, I pop it high, I pop it low, I pop it with the gigolo.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she bad
You: Bad enough to wear Jordache.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she cool
You: Cool enough to wear Sassoon.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she fine
You: At least my man don't leave me crying.
Your girlfriends: All girl stop your lying.

Ha!

Is anyone out there feeling me?

SC

Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she bad
You: B-A-D that's me.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she cute
You: Honey chile I know I'm cute
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she fine
You: 3-6-8-9 take your man anytime....hip hip potato chip mess with me I'll bust your lip...peanut butter Resse cup you'll get messed up
Your girlfriends: Unh chile and that's right.

^^^ Dang, we didn't do that in my neighborhood, but if all that mentioning of snacks in a rhyne ain't ol skool, I don't know what is.

My sister-in-law is redecorating the kitchen with a retro theme. Why does she have an authentic rotary phone? Why did my nieces have to ask, "How do you use it"? They really tripped out when I showed them how long it would take to dial the number.

SummerChild · #12 04-23-2007, 12:31 PM

Hollywood? Old Mary Matt?? Ok Soror - what part of Chicago are you from?

You MUST BE from the Chi!
SC

Let me test one more thing -
Soror, do you remember "chinese jumprope" and "irish" (in addition to the now-famous double dutch)?
What about the Doctor Pepper hand game - "I drink Dr Pepper don't you know. (snap, swing hands - lol). It's the 'riginal taste that I love so. The flavor you'll treasure everywhere you go. I'm a pepper, you're a pepper, would you like to be a pepper too? The more you drink, the more you sho-ut, IIIIIIIIII'M A PEPPER! Would you like to be a pepper too? Be a pepper drink Dr. pepper, yeah, yeah, be a pepper drink Dr. pepper, whoo whoo, be a pepper whoo!"

Soror I am from the "ever-famous" Camden, NJ. However, I do remember "chinese jump rope" and would make my own out of rubber bands. I also remember "irish"....did you play DIFS?

I do remember Dr. Pepper, but do you remember....have a Coke and a smile?
Swing, swing, swing?
