Baseball card in the bike spokes to make your 2 wheeler sound like a mean machine

Climbing the rope in gym class ( my elementary had one that went from the floor to the ceiling of the gymnasium, it must have been 3 stories high, could you imagine that in an elementary these days? )


Starblazers ( cartoon ) oh and not to mention the original Tom and Jerry cartoons and the Wacky Racers, Banana Splits and Sigmund the Seamonster


Starblazers rules.  :aok


I can add a few to the list:

kids playing outside
being able to count, add and subtract
only getting a trophy for 1st place

Tree Forts built by us and not store bought ( I have no idea how we survived in some of the things we built )

We didn't weigh 200lbs at 10 y/o would be my guess.

and on my list:

Space:1999...where they (gasp!) frequently mentioned making beer.
Giving your seat to the old lady on the bus/subway when it was crowded
Playing a baseball game where only the head coaches yell at the players

Here is a page that is dedicated to the unfair butchering of old looney tunes cartoons. It explains most of the great gags that was removied because it was "offensive". I remember the parts that was cut out of these and they were just pure funny.

I have done most of these, as well as the ones added on by you guys...does this mean I am one of those weird 15 year olds? I still watch my VHS tapes...if I want to watch a DVD, I have my computer. I can get to school by my self, I just choose the bus, as we have been having those strange Missouri springs and autumns.

Couple things not listed.

Dialing a phone number on the phone by sticking your finger in a hole on a wheel and spinning it clockwise several times

Also dialing numbers by pressing the on/off button.

That phone number you'd dial that would ring back the phone you were dialing it on..  Used to do that to payphones all the time.. :lol

Buying a pack of smokes at 12 years old and saying "They're for my dad...."

Kids riding bikes without helmets, skateboarding without pads..

Watching the old stoner dude on the 12 speed ride a wheelie all the way down the street(three blocks)..

Topps Baseball Sticker Books

Kids are wussies now..  They are encouraged to stay inside, play video games, and eat crap..  Less than 30% of kids now even know how to start a lawnmower or much less cut grass..

Only 22% had any knowledge of how to change a tire..  Girls of this era are especially inept and will be nothing more than life support systems for their vagina..

Ok, I pulled those numbers out of my arse..  But seriously...Almost every junior/high school kid I've met of this generation is an idiot..  I don't have very much hope for them..

Every kid has a phone that texts..  Every kid has either a Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, or Xbox 360..  Every kid has their own car at 16..  All the parents I know that do this

have kids failing and repeating grades until they finally drop out..  I'm beginning to think things are being engineered this way so the next generation is clueless and things like

civil liberties can be swiped away without them even realizing it..   :noid
