Man, you kids make me feel old! I guess that means I've officially joined the 'mentors are old people' group of FIRST... (I'll catch some flak for that one.)
I had never even thought of Rock'em Sock'em Robots until Brandon said something about them. When I was a kid, the robots and the game Crossfire were, by far, the coolest darn things ever. I remember my Atari and my tooth game, which nobody seems to remember. You had to fight the cavities... and no, I'm not insane, this was really a game. I had all the classics, Centipede, you name it. And then, my parents had a garage sale. I was a Barbie fiend and was obsessed with Pound Puppies. My Cabbage Patch doll was my best friend. I also had a 'Mooseltoe' stuffed animal, that I still sleep with in my dorm room. Anyone remember those? They were HUGE when I was about 2 or 3.. you know, back in the Dark Ages. Even candy was different. While dropping off one of my students in Knox, Indiana, I went to a gas station that carried Zagnut bars, Clark bars, Zero bars, and even the big bricks of Bit O'Honey. Needless to say, I bought ten dollars worth of old school candy alone. |

I just have a few things to say...
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cartoons, video games, action figures, comic books, children's books... They're all great. I still have a lot of the action figures. Every once in a while, I get real nostalgic and play TMNT4: Turtles In Time under zsnes (I lost the SNES cart )Z-Bots. Pogs. Transformers. X-Men. Batman: The Animated Series. Saved By The Bell. Doom. My old 12MB Voodoo2 (I'm going to encase it in lucite, eventually). Dial-up internet access (Netcom owned). The time when MTV didn't suck as much as it does now (the first music video I ever saw was Green Day - Basketcase, followed by Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun). Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers (video games, tv shows, etc). Sega Genesis, SNES, Virtual Boy (Yeah, I had one of those ), Gameboy. My K6-2 300MHz (3DNow! + Voodoo2 + Quake2 = pure beauty). And last, but definetly not least, one of the most sentimentally meaningful things ever in my life, Kiri Te Kanawa's rendition of Blue Skies. |

Whoa...I miss my younger days. I remember the huge floppy disks..when cd's didn't even exist or if they did they were expensive as heck.
Are You Afraid of the Dark was the best show ever. I was soo scared by some of those. I laughed at the Pinball Wizard one though because I was older when I saw it. I also remember the original power rangers and I must say, I had the hugest crush on Billy. The day him and Kimbrley left..the tv world died for me. I miss them still. sigh.. Snap Braclets! I remember those. Remember pulling your hair up into buns around your ears to be princess lia (however it's spelled) or wearing a heandband over your eyes to be that one guy from Star Trek (the black one whose name escapes me) The very first song I ever heard and liked was Kissed By a Rose by Seal. Which I still love to this day. I miss playing house with my two best friend, both which were girls, and not understanding why my older brother looked at us weird when we said that instead of my friend having one mommy and one daddy she had TWO mommies. We were six...what did we know? Pretty Pretty Princess was the best board game for little girls and I must say that Checkers will never die. Does anyone remember Ghost Writer? I saw it recently on Noogin in the morning on Nick (at like 6:30 est a year ago) but havn't seen it since. I loved that show. Maybe I was a weird kid but does anyone remember making mud pies and/or playing in the mud puddles before your mom yelled? I miss those days. I sometimes wish I was younger again so I could throw a fit and actually get my way. Student:"I don't want that homework! Waaah!" Teacher: "Ok Ok Ok..shhh...we'll just do it tomorrow" (Do I ever wish!) |

marble rollers... the thing where you build the big tower of tubes and slides and dump like 20 marbles in it and watch them roll down... and "key force" the cars and motorcycles you put the key in and they transform into planes and helicopters...McDonalds had little toys of them for awhile...
*sniff* i miss the good ol days the best part of it all was the afternoon naps in kindergarten but thats just me |

And there was a big field at the end of our street that would have great big mud puddles after it rained. We would place plywood in the middle of the biggest puddle and pretend it was a boat and we were explorers or pirates... If it was after a really heavy rain storm, we could even get our "boat" to move around! You know, I would never want to live my childhood over again, but sometimes I would like to go back for just a day.

Back to some cool toys, remember pillow people??? I think I had one and my cousin had one that looked like a window. amandabean, I remember Mooseltoe, and do you remember spree and whatchamacallit candies??? What about stompers??? Those were little AA battery controlled cars that would go anywhere, even in the bath tub, (Wait a minute, electric toys in the tub???? What were we thinking?) I remember the first "grown up" movie I saw was The Breakfast Club when I was like 7 or 8. I went to see ET at the Drive in when my power at my house went out one night. I remember playing zaxxon and carnival on my coleco vision and seeing THIS MESSAGE almost every time I "forgot" to turn it off before I put in my game. I remember the FIRST Video game system I owned had 8bits of power, Nintendo Power!!! My first game I had was RC Pro Am and <icky>Q-BERT<icky/>. I remember playing games with my cousins like "My mother went to the store and bought, (Insert a product here that begins with A, then repeat and Insert B product, etc.) I remember when Tonka Trucks were my whole life, then I graduated to GI Joe and the Aircraft carrier and all the cool toys that came with it. I never did get The Bridge Layer or the Special Edition Sgt. Slaughter though. |

I watched Ghost Writer religiously, it was the best show on tv for soooo long, especially the episode about the girl who was a hacker, that was so awesome. And TGIF, who could forget, does anyone remember the original lineup, i'm having trouble remembering. Also, did anyone watch the math show Square One? |
