Washing Machine 04.11.2007 06:30 PM

BLOBBY, BLOBBY. BLOBBY!

Danny Himself 04.11.2007 06:30 PM

My mom had one but I considered it mine.

schizophrenicroom 04.11.2007 08:13 PM

i own some blue mascara, but it's more of a navy blue.

Prisstina 04.11.2007 08:45 PM

i hate lists like that, but let me just say that legend of the hidden temple was the best show EVER.

Toilet & Bowels 04.11.2007 08:49 PM

a lot of that list applies to the 80s too, the rest just sounds like made up babble for people who are too young to even know they are born.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.11.2007 11:12 PM

I can assure you I was a 90's kid. I listen to Polaris regularly.

krastian 04.11.2007 11:35 PM

Hell no!!! 80's till death!!:p

val-holla-ing 04.11.2007 11:57 PM

i guess i could fit with the late 80's/90's group.

i had a bag of pogs bigger than a basketball...and a rubberband ball. it was awesome.

GeneticKiss 04.12.2007 12:19 AM

I remember when Pogs were banned from a lot of schools becuz it was considered gambling.

I was 8 in 1990 and 17 in 1999, so I guess I was a 90s kid...not British though.

ZEROpumpkins 04.12.2007 03:15 AM

Yes yes fucking yes.
I remember it all well, back in my 90's childhood.

Its only fun!

Nostalgia rocks...

Im listening to that 'Boom. Boom. Boom I want you in my room' song now haha

ZEROpumpkins 04.13.2007 06:19 AM

You know nostalgia used to be diagnosed as a sickness? I love it, great feeling.

jon boy 04.13.2007 06:28 AM

i remember some of those things but i wasnt a 'kid' in the 90's.

Washing Machine 04.13.2007 06:28 AM

I just would have perhaps liked to have been older in the 90's, just so I could remember all the great records that came out. Sadly my favourite album for years was the BeeGees' 1997 album 'Still Waters'. It was the first actually album (not compilation tape) I fell in love with. Listened to it the other day, its not half bad....for a BeeGees album anyway.

While I'm strongly averse to nostalgia, and a little frightened by the fact I remember the entireity of that list, I have to heartily approve of your choice in music. Bizarrely, such was the twatitude of my teenhood, I hated the Vengaboys at the time. Still can't stand that fucking I-beet-za song mind.
