Official I Love the "Insert Decade" Thread
 

Thanks to Brud who inadvertently inspired Gmanc711 and I to start talking about Full House in another thread I've decided to start a silly, off-topic thread where we can all reminisce about random things from our childhood

Shows, music, toys, trends, etc. from the 70s, 80s, 90s, (1890s for Curmudgeon, :joke: ) whatever you want to share fond memories about do it here:

OK, who else here collected Garbage Pail Kids cards?

Alright, we need to get this baby off and running, I'm gonna say we start with the Early 90's.

Why not stick with the TGIF theme for the time being and think Family Matters! Does anyone remember when Urkel and Carl had that machine that turned them into bruce lee and went to the bar and kicked those guys asses who were harrasing eddie! LOL!! That was one of hte best. " Boards.... No hit baaack"

I did and did u know they sell them at some Hot Topics? I saw that 2 weekends ago while down in VA Beach.

anyone a neverending story fan?

plus does anyone remember shows like gummi bears and the shirt tales?

and does everyone remember their first crush of a celeb? mine was the hot blonde chick from teen wolf, lol.

Family Matters got really odd when they introduced Urkel's alter ego Stephan. And remember that younger sister that mysteriously was written off the show? Apparently she went on to be a porn star

and speaking of porn, could there have been a better porn name than Rider Strong (Shawn from Boy Meets World)?

Dashing and daring, courageous and caring...gummi bears rocked

favorite muppet baby? mine was rolf

beeker, even got a beeker shirt recently, lol.

My first celeb crush was Alyssa Milano on Whos the boss.

Ooo , first celeb crushes are exellent. My first celebrity crush..... drum roll please.... Alicia Silverstone, I remember I was like 7 and saw the movie "Crush".... oh my god it was so lovley.

To respond to your family matters response; smootsmack, they did do things like that in the show alot. Towards the end of the show, they switched the actress who played the mom, it was really weird. The show wasent a classic, but some of the episodes were.

How bout some of hte movies back in the early 90's? What are they lookin like there?

Another celeb crush.....Elizabeth Schutte in Karate Kid. To this day I still have a crush on her.

What are some of your favorite songs... how bout ICE ICE BABY... " IF A RHYME WAS A DRUG I'D SELL IT BY THE GRAM"....

I know all the words to that song to this day

One of my all time favorite "80's" movie is the Outsiders.

"Do it for Johnny man, lets do it for Johnny"

I was all about the Goonies

"Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here."

"Baby Ruuuth"

[QUOTE=smootsmack]Kelly Kapowski[/QUOTE]

"I went up to this girl...
She said hi, my name is sheena
I thought she'd be good to go with a little funky cold medina
She said she'd like a drink I said ok, I'll go get
A couple of sips, she done licked her lips and I knew that she was with it

So we went up to my crib, and everything went well as planned
but when we got undressed, it was a big ol' mess.... Sheena was a man
So I threw her our I dont fool around w/ no Oscar Myar Weiner
You best be sure that your girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina "

Any Fans of the HUMPTY DANCE??? I freaking loved that song.

"I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom."

didn't tone loc do a voice for a cartoon or something like that recently? and no I don't mean that dumb ass movie bebe's kids.

Loc was the voice of C-Bear in C-Bear and Jamal. I think he was in Titan A.E. as well

Ok now I know y'all gonna get up out of your seats for this one, a little EU:

"Doin' the butt. Hey pretty, pretty
When you get that notion, put your backfield in motion, hey
Doin' the butt. Hey sexy, sexy Ain't nothing wrong, if you
wanna do the butt all night long"

any DC area fans remember rare essence or the junkyard band?

Aww man the old school go-go. Northeast groovers were one of my favorites. Remember the water dance?

did anyone else think six or seven(or whatever her name was) from the show blossom was hot? except when she started talking.

[QUOTE=Redskins_P]Aww man the old school go-go. Northeast groovers were one of my favorites. Remember the water dance?[/QUOTE]

Rah, Rah, Rah, Get in the Water!! S T Period....


Yeah I thought Six was pretty hot, especially when you put her next to Blossom (man what a butterface she was)

You wanna talk about a butterface. How about the mom in Married with Children. Damn she had some tig ole bitties.

Favorite Rocky Movie?

Rocky 3 by far....

Never a big Rocky fan, well actually I've never seen the movies so I cant comment. Did anyone ( you'd proboly have to be around my age to have seen it ) ever watch Salute your Shorts or Hey Dude on Nickeloden?

What about my man Rakim!

Never really watched those shows but I remember some other shows from that time on Nick-Are You Afraid of the Dark, Rocko's Modern World, Adventures of Pete and Pete

and my favorite-Clarissa Explains It All. Since the days of Clarissa I was all about Melissa Joan Hart....there was so much I wanted her to explain to me ;)

Anyone remember Small Wonder?

I still have my berenstein bears books. Actually my dad had taken them to his office (he's a pediatrician) when I was a kid because he figured I was done with them. So when I was around 21 years old I was helping him move into a new office and I took all the books back home! Screw the sick patients!! I also liked the Sweet Pickles books collection.

Anyone remember 3-2-1 contact and the bloodhound gang?

well she used to be hot before she got super skinny atleast, lol.
