    I second this: jelly shoes, Trapper Keepers and slap bracelets!

    AND platform sneakers, VCR & Casette tapes, walkmans, platform sneakers (that i got kicked out of gym for wearing), full on bell bottoms, oh the list goes on....

    I must say tho this really reminds me of that song "Back When" by Tim McGraw....

    "Don't you remember
    The fizz in a pepper
    Peanuts in a bottle
    At ten, two and four
    A fried bologna sandwich
    With mayo and tomato
    Sittin' round the table
    Don't happen much anymore...
    Back when a hoe was a hoe
    Coke was a coke
    And crack's what you were doing
    When you were cracking jokes
    Back when a screw was a screw
    The wind was all that blew
    And when you said I'm down with that
    Well it meant you had the flu..."

    lol sorry had to do it :P

    Marathon was a candy bar.

    My sister stole a Marathon candy bar from our grocery store when she was little ... she put it in her white (up to the knee) socks. It came in a red, yellow, orange wrapper and you could clearly see it!! Busted, my mother made her go back in the store and apologize to the manager that she had stolen it. She came out and said he said she could have the candy anyway. Many years later she confessed that she never told the manager at all!!! Right _beachgirl_?????

    Not at all! I have done so much worse than that anyway! She's too far away to punch and I usually didn't punch my sisters, just any *****es that were picking on them!

    on SNL topic - I thought my kids to say "Landshark" when playing knock knock jokes. It's the only one adults genuinely laugh at :)

    This would actually be my Dad's but he went to the doctor for an on-going grumpy tummy (IBS), and the doctor prescribed 1 cigarette after every meal!
