So Sorry, but This one accually Cracked me up a wee bit. Figured I'd share the memories with those of you who remember it``Anybody under the age of 13 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.You're a 90's kid if:You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ]You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the BrainAAAAAAAH Real Monsters!You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ."You remember TGIF, Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.You remember when it was actually worth getting up earlyon a Saturday to watch cartoons.You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.You remember reading "Goosebumps"You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . notwhen everyhting was settled by rock paper scissors..or bubble gum bubble gum in a dish...and even better daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky.when cops and robbers was a daily activity.when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.when we used to obey our parentsYou used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time."Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.Captain Planet. He's a Hero.You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together.You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.You remember those Where's Waldo books.You remember eating Warheads.You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.You remember Ring Pops.You remember drinking Surge, and Tang.If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos.You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.You played and/or collected "Pogs"You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.. . . Furbies.You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.And Windows 95 was the best.You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.Michael Jordan was a king.YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out.You collected those Beanie Babies.CarebearsGak was the coolest stuff invented.Lambchop's song never ended.The old dollar bills.Silver dollars, which were cool to have.You remember a time before the WB.You collected all the Troll dollsIf you even know what an original walkman is.You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"You know the Macarena by heart."Talk to the hand" . . . enough saidYou always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"You know the significance of the number 23.You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.Before the MySpace frenzy . . .Before the Internet & text messaging . . .Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .Before MIKE JONES . . .Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .Before Spongebob . . .Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.When light up sneakers were cool.When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.When we recorded stuff on VCRs.When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.Way back.Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

I was 23 when the 1990's started. That decade started off with the Gulf War. The President of the US was George H W Bush. Currently there are still troops in Iraq and the president of the US in also George Bush but his middle initial is just W. So not much as really changed or has it?

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
