    I had this bike. It was the best bike ever. Check this *kitten* out...
    - banana seat for "towing" friends? check!
    - scooped handlebars for additional passenger? check!
    - dropped middle bar for optimum trick performance? check!
    - peddle brakes instead of handle brakes for maximum skidding for dramatic effect? hellz yes!

    But where are the streamers?? I had one too, until My mom ran over it with the 75 Plymouth because she thought the driveway was hers. :grumble:

    My dad got me, I mean us, this one:

    I wouldn't wear anything but OP during my 8th grade year. Loved the rubber 3D'ish screen print they used to put on their shirts.

    These are all great!

    I had Poochie EVERYTHING at one time. Stamp sets, stickers, toys, pillows.

    Lisa Frank. Don't get me started. Sooo much better in the 80s. I used to write to "her" all the time for free stickers in the mail.

    Yes, wore OP. Always begged my mom for Benetton shirts, Guess denim and Body Glove or Jimmy'Z at the mall, but ended up getting whatever was on sale at Gemco.

    That game was awesome, but one the the first "down timers", that sucked money from you to continue play on a regular basis (ie your life force would continually drop). Still a great time!!!

    My parents said Atari wasn't educational. So I ended up with:

    Were yoga pants invented in the 80's? I better quit, they already locked my other thread.

    I'm not quite old enough to have any of this stuff in the 80's, but I totally had several Lisa Frank trapper keepers in the 90's!

    I LOVED my roller skates -- and we had a driveway that was as steep as a ski slope. Made sledding in the wintertime SUPER fun.

    We also had a giant dirt mound on the lot next door because another house was going up.

    When we got the sprinkler that made that graceful arch of water and moved back and forth, I thought I was in heaven. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I had one of THESE back in the day :happy:

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQt4ivr0UAwpFOh5jm0PGJ6GPoTspjWNrjpOhPEsq4Kky3169qxluCF-gjm4w

    My boyfriend still has one of these....he's been trying (though not very hard or recently) to find a way to hook it up to his new flat screen. I may have to intervene.

    Let's see, we had a laser disk player, an Apple computer (instead of the blue screen of death we have now, it was GREEN!), and an atari. You name it, we probably had it because there were two generations of kids in my house....my two oldest sisters are 10+ years older than me....so we had it all.

    Remember the "original video games".... The little things filled with water and the buttons to get the rings on the pegs.. or the basketball one.
