Yep. I think they play some of these really late at night.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
S*** YES! Oh man....it really was worth it waking up at 7am to watch cartoons! I used to do that all the time. So much, that i'd mistake Friday morning for Saturday and get disapointed to find some early morning news show on TV instead of Rugrats. Then sometimes id get up TOO early (before the sun!) and end up watching some awesome video clips on Rage. I can still remember watching the X-Files video clip, Mission Impossible video clip and the song called "Sugar" I think. I really slow, friggin awesome song. I want it.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"
Yep. Got a tonne of em. They were da bomb back then.


You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
I didnt but a lot of kids did.


You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . .
LOL! YES! Not...

when we played hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.
My favourite game!


when we used to obey our parents.
Indeed. We couldnt resist...


"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.
Thats pure old school.


Captain Planet. He's a Hero.
He is indeed. That show was sweet.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.
I still have one of them...

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.
Well here it was Australia's Funnest Home Video Show...and yes i wanted a tape sent in, but we didnt have anything remotely amusing.

You remember watching:
-The Magic School Bus
-Wishbone
-Reading Rainbow on PBS.

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.
Crap yeah!


You remember those Where's Waldo books.
Wasnt it Where's Wally?

You remember eating Warheads.
Yep.

You remember watching:
-the 1st Batman
-Aladdin
-Ninja Turtles
-3 Ninjas movies.
S*** yeah! Why arent movies as good as these anymore?


If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"
Yep


You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.
Oh yeah...now its PS3 vs XBOX360...


Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.
Lol! Every girl in our class had one of them. We used to believe everything they said.

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.
I didnt. the only piece of technology i owned was a Super Nes.

One word. . . Furbies.
They were invading!

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.
I remember being unable to use a computer! I'd accidentally somehow pull the corde out of the monitor and think that i shut the computer down! Then i couldnt use the keyboard. Took me half an hour to find the letter "Q".


And Windows 95/98 was the best.
Oh yeah. My good mate had a "beasty" computer back then and we'd play it non-stop.


You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.
Oh hell yeah. Rugrats was the best.


You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out
I remember them...but not being sold out....

You collected those Beanie Babies.
No! Thats absurd...

Carebears
ARGH! Those damn things...



If you even know what an original walkman is.
Yep...i wont say...

You know the Macarena by heart.
Lol Sad but True...


"Talk to the hand" . . . 'nuff said.
Oh yeah


You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
LOL! If you didnt say that you were uncool.


You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.
Yep. It stank though.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .
Yep.


Before the Internet & cell phones . . .
Yes! Mobiles were the size of a brick!

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .
Walkmans ftw


Before the PlayStation or X-BOX . . .
Well there was the PSX...


Before Spongebob . . .
Yes


Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
Oh yeah...did that ALL the time...


When light up sneakers were cool.
Man i wanted a pair of those so bad. Once one kid got them, teh following day half the kids had em.


When you rented VHS tapes and Nintento 64/Super games, not DVDs and CDs.
LOL!! Nuff said.


When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
Yes!

When we recorded
stuff on VCRs.
YEEEES!


When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.
Oh s*** yeah...did that crap loads of times.


When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do.
Oh yeah!

Back when we thought the day jan 1, 2000 all computers would fail and aliens would invade...
Oh yeah, but i didnt care back then. Back then, we would always be out in the street on our scrawny pushbikes, riding around, talking, doing "burn outs" on people's dirt driveways. Sparking ant wars, palying mock battles, throwing chunks of dirt and mud at each other.

At school when it was recess or lunch, we were always outside. We were out battling for control of the playground. Us boys fought against the girls to hold control of the playground. If not, then we'd head down to the oval and sit on a log and watch people playing cricket, or we'd play tag or chase eagle shadows lol. We were more active than anything back then.

Now look at kids these days. Hunched over keyboards and fearing sunlight. Yeah, i'd say humanity is screwed.

EDIT: Also, one other thing.
Ads werent as sporadic back then as they are now. Back then you'd be lucky to see the same ad twice during an entire TV show.

NOW, you see the same damn ad five times during a single ad break, the ad volume is 50 times louder, and now ads intrude DURING THE SHOW!! I hate free to air TV more than anything!!!!

That was an enlightening read.
