You got your new license plate, they'd give you a miniature metal one for your keyring. The first TV I watched was a flat screen. You had to almost be sitting directly in front of it to be able to see the picture. What do ya'll recall? |

When gasoline was under a buck a gallon. 5 bucks in the tank and my friends and I could cruise around all night. Even in a Pontiac Catalina that only got about 9 miles to the gallon.

You had to almost be sitting directly in front of it to be able to see the picture. What do ya'll recall? i recall JEM being soo much cooler than Barbie... I remember Shera spoke quietly and carried a gigantic pink sword. I know for a fact that Rainbow Brite was written by people trippin on something strong. I remember when Strawberry shortcake had Long hair. I remember when gas was .85 cents I remember the speed limit being 55 mph and everyone drove 75. now its 70 and everyone drives 80 I remember riding in the back of my cousin's hatchback trying not to get stabbed by her friend with the biggest mohawk i'd ever seen, sittin in front of me. I remember my first pair of Doc Martins and remember when it was cool to wear those... I remember ska music. I remember being the first chick in my class with boobs. I remember crying over kurt cobain. |

Using playing cards on the bicycle to make motor sounds with the spokes.
Not just having a skate key for an ornament. |

Playing outside until the street lights came on. That was our cue that it was time to go in and even then we didn't want to. Kids don't play outside anymore like we did.

I remember a day in grown up time, was like a week in little people time.
I remember cicadas as big as my hand. I remember the feel of mud between my toes, all warm and squishy, and the coolness of the creek to wash off the squishy mud. I remember this magic box thing in the classroom, and this black and white story, of men in dressups bouncing in the dust on the moon!

They don't around here. I think there's too much video, xbox stuff that we didn't have. |
