The shirt clip ....FTW lol

I had at least a dozen of these back in the 70s! (I think, but my memory could be failing.. :laugh: )

Loved them I remember they stopped selling them because the metal would get through and cut your hand. They actually sell them again

What about the slap bracelets? lol

lol yep... I had been cut by them a couple times

Anyone have a photo of a slap bracelet? I don't think I have ever seen one.

I would much rather see this again than the saggy pants dragging off the butt and on the ground, and over the modern-day skinny jeans as well! Long live the pegged pants!

My friend's kid wears skinny jeans and he somehow manages to sag them....crazy

This got me thinking....Who remember pencil Fighting?

I don't think kids do that these days

So, sad to inform you but they still do this. I had at least 5-6 broken pencils on my floor every afternoon. And, they are still making spinners and fortune tellers Some things just won't die.

Oh. My. God!!

I had slap bracelets (my sister actually got me one for christmas a few years ago as a "remember when"). My arms were covered in friendship bracelets. Not only that but we used to make friendship pins -- beads on a safety pin -- and my sneakers were LOADED with them. Then the next trend was saving the pop tops off of soda cans and putting those through your laces. Why? I have NO idea. I had LA Gear sneakers with THREE -- read that -- THREE different laces that were different shades of pink that I shoved through the holes and wore. I wore the layered socks that just HAD to match my shirts and I tight rolled my acid wash jeans and any other pair of pants that I had. If they were too short to tight roll then I pegged them. And sadly I was part of the birds nest bang trend but unfortunately for me it never worked right because my hair naturally parts in the middle so I always had pouffy bangs on each side of my head. :grumble:

Cant say I ever pencil fought....but how about de-pantsing a person? This was best in gym class :laugh:

LOL! I do I do remember doing that...

Only done it once... because you do it to someone and 5 more people will try it on you :huh:

I use to walk while holding the front of my pants....


oh and de-pantsing was way easy on someone wearing hammer pants....buahahaha!

LMAO!! yeah but if you were wearing those awesome stonewashed jeans that you rolled the bottoms up, well it was a bit harder

No way! I rolled my jeans up too..




Mine were tighter and neater than these...

Wait...wait...wait....those socks are not scrunched enough or puffy enough! My sis would wear two pairs of socks too and different colors.

Wait a minute, that's me - why you telling my business girl? LOL!!! And do you remember my 4-5 inch tall bangs???? I was so into it... everything...
