back in the day when i was young, i'm not a kid anymore!! LOL

[DELTABRAT]

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]

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).

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

Hey yall guess what I'm watching.....A Different World.

It's the one when Kim thinks she is pregnant by Robert....(second season I think)

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.

Thatgirl,

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

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

I can't believe I remember that.

[mwedzi]

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!" * So glad I went natural and comb my hair with nothing but a pick!

[etienneSAI]

skipper was barbie's little sister!

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...

maybe i shouldn't be saying this.... did anyone else have twisted adventures in barbie-land? PLEASE tell me i'm not the only one....

etienneSAI:

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]

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]

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 know exactly what lipstick you are talking about. The one from Wet n Wild :-)

I can also do without the basket weaves, the bob (like several layers, not just one), the cellophanes (not hair color/highlights...but BURGUNDY cellophanes). I can do without the Gucci/Loius Vuitton wear (the sweatshirts and stuff). I can do without leather colored bomber jackets. I can do without cuorduroy pants (girls in my hood used to rock the TIGHT ones with Fila shoes and the shirt to match. I can do without rings on EVERY finger. I can do without feather cut hairstyles. I can do without that fuschia colored lipstick every young black girl THOUGHT was cute. Everything else was okay...I think.

[Sexy Mocha]

O.k., now that's some sick sh*t that you ladies did to Barbie! Just what was it that Barbie did for a living anyway?!? 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...

[etienneSAI]

sexy mocha,

yeah, i think you're right. or maybe barbie was the "heidi fleiss" of mattel, inc. she had all her girls dressed to the nines...ken at her beck and call. shady, shady activity going on there in the barbie mansion. mocha, i think you're onto something!

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
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

She didn't ever have babies.

Was Skipper her cousin, friend, niece, neighbor?

Hmmmm...maybe Skipper was her...nevermind

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.
