Not in the slightest (how is a man who bitches when his characters get the slightest injury cool).

Remember when Enzo Matrix said "DOOOD...Everything's gone 8BIT"

 

[Chgris]

Going outdoors to play didn't require more padding than an NFL player.

 

[Drunken_Angel]

When they actually had REAL playground equipment, not this padded plastic crap.

 

[dragonrazor]

When the Big Mac was the Big Mac.

 

[Miss Sixxy]

....you didn't have a care in the world except what to wear to school and whether or not that cute boy/girl liked you.

 

[Vail_Indigo]

...I had a frozen Milky Way?

 

[dragonrazor]

When no one had ever heard the phrase "nukular" and instead used the CORRECT term, Nuclear....

 

[grant_s]

when you didn't have to worry about locking all windows and doors before going to bed

 

[Corbal]

Remember when New Kids on the Block were rad? Or when Vanilla Ice was the shit? Or when Marky Mark was in the funky bunch? Or when MC Hammer was to ligit to quit? Or when how cool and expensive CD's were when they first came out? Or when you would sit in front of the radio for hours to record the hottest new single on your tape deck? OMG I could do this forever....

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

Remember when slow jams actually had something else to discuss besides how the singer wanted to sex whomever in really impossible ways? Remember Thrasher magazine and Vans? Remember trying to build a half pipe in your back yard? Remember when parachute pants were the SHIT?? Remember when your biggest worry was whether or not you should kiss the person who took you to your first school dance?

 

[android1966]

Remember when you had thruppenny bits and farthings in your piggy bank?

 

[Corbal]

Remember when the Internet was called the information super highway? Or when AOL was the only provider and it was sold by the minute? Or Wagon Trail on the original Mac computers. Or when copy machines didn't have feeders and you copied one page at a time? Or when fax machines were rolls of paper that you tore off? Or typewriters and dot matrix printers. The most amazing part is I've only been working for 12 years and can remember all of these things. I wonder what we use now that will be remembered and giggled about to the next generation.....

 

[Leopald]

You're killing me Corbal...

Remember Goto 10?

Remember the blue screen of death on your Macintosh?

Remember when light-up sneakers first appeared?

Remember when Back to the Future promised us flying cars that ran on garbage by 2015?

Remember the orginal Super Soaker line, designated by model numbers?

Remember when blowing on game cartriges and trying every special little trick to get them to work?

Remember when happy meals had real toys?

 

[Rayne_Clowd]

Remember when you watched shows like Alf, The Fraggles, The Muppet's, H.R.Puff N Stuff, Punky Brewster, Shera or Heman....

Remember when microwaves where new and uncommon.

Remember when you where too young to say things like Remember when.

Remember when:

Games were 8 Bit?
Games were 16 Bit?
In spite of having better audio quality and games, the Genesis lost to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System?
When people actually CALLED it the Super Nintendo Entertainment System?
Those silly SEGA CD and SEGA Saturn commercials?
When "Welcome To The Next Level" wasn't a phrase on novelty T Shirts?

 

[monique_minx]

Remember when Saturday mornings were worth getting up early for just to watch Cheez TV Cartoons!

Remember racing home from school to plonk down in front of the TV at 4pm

Remember chair bags and tidy trays in primary school

And my special personal one - remember playing 'kick the milk bottle' in the backyard because you lost the damn soccer ball again! (It's probably still on the roof somewhere come to think of it...)

 

[miaction69]

remember when sex happened easily for real....b4 txt, email, facebook, myspace, sex took over ....

[Vail_Indigo]

...I got laid once in a while?
...pizza wasn't complicated?
...you could dial a number to have pretty girl's make you coffee and suckle your toes all day and it wasn't illegal?

 

[Rayne_Clowd]

remember when it was common for kids to be outside playing in the street and every afternoon and on weekends.

remember when you knew your neighbors.

remember when business could be done with a handshake and someone's word actually meant something.

[Vail_Indigo]

but...to take an anti-nostalgia tact...

...women stayed quiet about sexual harassment at work?
...anorexia wasn't ever spoken about?
...being gay was the most shameful thing you could imagine?
