I remember the Bears winning the Super Bowl in '85, the Fridge Perry.
The Super Bowl Shuffle with Icky Woods (or was it Waters?)
The Mets winning the world series in '86. I can remember sitting in front of the TV getting chills to see a home team win (and I hate the Mets).
I remember standing in line outside the old Menlo Park Movie Theter (where Macoroni Grill now stands) to see Rocky III.
I too remember sitting in class watching the shuttle explode.
I remember when skateboards were really wide.
I can remember seeing Tron in the movies then running out with my friends like we were on those bikes.
My first cabbage patch doll, when they first came out. *hides from that comment*
I remember being at Yankee Stadium and they encouraged the young ones (well the older young ones) to come sit down closer to the platform. And they had the part on new Young People Ask: Answers that work book. And the first page had a special message from the society.
I remember seeing ET at the Metuchen Theater (on main street).
When Slip -n- Slide first came out.
Gas costing $.69 per gallon.
how old are you???
i was...not old enough to sit down in the front at yankee stadium when they released the YPA book. i think you had to be 13 and i was 12 (?). i was REALLLY upset. and my parents wouldn't let me go anyway - they were like "no- you have to be 13".
Yeah, I was totally bummed out to see my friends who were older than I was sit in the special section. I was only 1 or 2 years too young. Some parents let their kids go even if they were too young and it was so painfully unfair. I wanted to sit away from my parents so bad. I miss Veterans Stadium.
Turned 28 this past Monday. Getting old sucks. :(
I also remember Bosom Buddies (Tom Hanks would dress in drag, pretty funny)
Really? I remember being old enough. And I'm only a few months older than you.
i remember when slip and slide first came out...i was never allowed to get it though....go figure
A neighbor of mine had a slip and slide and we were in their yard playing on it and I went down it. Well the neighbors kid didn't wait for me to get all the way down and went on after me and slammed right into me before I could get up. I'm not sure how it happened but some how I got flipped up in the air. I had gone down on my stomach and ended up on my back. I think that was the first and last time I went down a slip and slide.
Yeah, that's where it all started. After that you were like "who needs water and rubber, I'll just dive over those boards onto the hard pavement!"
That's what I used to do for fun and still do from time to time escpecially when I play hockey.
I'll give you two years, then you're going to be crying about your back pains....if you're not in pain already.
Nope still no backpains whatso ever. Dude I worked for Fedex for 2 years loading trucks and I've never had back pains. Other problems yes back problems no. I'm a rare breed anymore.
You're fortunate, my back is so screwed up. I'm going to the chiropractor twice a week now.
That stinks. It's scary but it seems like half the people I know my age have back problems. Actually it's probably more than half.
i got 10 stitches in my knee from a slip and slide. apparentyly they were a menace to society
Yeah they sure were. Do they even still make them?
You bet they do!
OMG I remember that too! It was when we used to have our DC's at Dodger Stadium! That was SO fun but kinda embarrassing, but we were all together, all our friends
