I remember when M&Ms had two shades of brown. I also remember when M&Ms were candy. (Sorry, but a cheap joke about ecstasy was just too easy there.)

 

[madame_zora]

I'm so old, I remember when ecstacy was a feeling you had during sex!

 

[jonb]

Yeah, but whenever some New Ager mentions "shamanic ecstasy", I still get images in my head.

 

[madame_zora]

In Pentacostal churches it's called "being in the spirit", but I've always felt it was repressed sexual energy.

LOL, Jana.

But we all know that you are not too old !

And, btw, your latest pic is great.

 

[madame_zora]

Thanks baby.

It depends on what "too old" means- I know I'm too old to be doing ecstacy!

Gordon the Gofher

Some snotty nose kid putting her paint convered hand over my favourite white jumper.

Well when your 10 you tend to not notice about the fuel prices. I do remember the old ring dial phones though, i liked the little dic-a-dic-a-dic it did after you dialed a numerb. The only event I actually remember happening around that time was the gulf war and the genicide in Africa.

I could name you about 104 bands and various TV moments I remember though. Such is the memory of a child brought up during the 90's.

anyone else remember when handouts in school were blue and white instead of xeroxed copies and everyone would sniff the pages if they were just freshly printed?

Ah, yes, TAG, the old spirit duplicator! Amazing, isn't it, that we sniffed the stuff from Kindergarten through our senior year in high school and it had no ill effects.

These days the stuff is outlawed because it's 'hazardous' to the kids' health!!

I remember black boards made of slate and cleaning chalky erasers in the school basement by rubbing them on a brick wall.

 

[D_Barbi_Queue]

My six grade teacher set up some assigment where we all took a topic from our science book and taught it to the rest of the class. We had to make our own handouts and everything. For that assignment, we even got to use that old thing that made those blue prints.

Also, we used to throw our erasers against the school to beat the chalk out of them.

As for a personal memory - which is still dating me a little - I recall listening to George Michael's "I want your sex" on someone's jambox on the playground and the teachers making a huge fuss over it. That was the same year I got spankings from the principal for calling someone a nerd. :spank:

 

[Pecker]

Ooooooooo, that lucky principal!!!!

We used to have copydex AKA fish glue, it smelt awful but you just had to smell it, much like pritt stick or playdoh.

Also, when i was in high school our science depatment burnt down, so to save money instead of buying new science books our school "cleaned" them. For months we would crave wookbook lessons just so we could send 50 mintues sniffing the books. They smelt like bounce (a smelly sheet you'd put in your dryer to make your clothes smell nice.)

 

[Pecker]

I just remembered that I left the oven on.

Nighttime snapshot with my new webcam illuminated by the desk light.

Come to think of it, maybe I know now why my kids screamed hysterically when I went in to tuck them in at night. :cry:

It looks like the caption beneath it should say, "Come here, little girl I&#39;ve got something to show you&#33; " LOL&#33;
