Title: Things you miss from when you were a child.
Post by: Machine Man on 11 December 2007, 19:49:37
I miss the elementary, when school was fun. But once you get to high school, it sucks. So I'm glad I'm in 12th grade, because I'll be out of school soon.

School sucks no matter what. Life outside of school sucks too.

Get over it.

I don't really miss being a child a whole lot.  Although I suppose I do miss looking forward to holidays like Christmas, and getting to play with my cousins when we were all at my grandparents' house.  They were cool.  I haven't seen them in about five years or more.

I miss those giant hamster-tunnel-slide playgrounds. You know those kids playpen areas in McDonald's that have a ball pit? That kind of place. In kindergarten we went to a massive version of those (not attached to a McDonald's, mind you) for a field trip, and it was glorious. I can't imagine who funded that trip, but I hope they're still working with schools because they know what kids like.

And I wish there were playpens that were teenager or adult sized. I would work there for the rest of my life. I would never leave.

Sigh. (http://blag.xkcd.com/2007/11/19/growing-up/)

Digimon was pretty damn awesome, and it could have lasted a but longer than it did.

I had the games, the cards, everything.

I miss when the good cartoons out-weighed the #####ty cartoons.

I miss being able to run around in a Power Rangers costume yelling "pew pew pew", without getting arrested.

I miss going to school dressed up as the Flash.

I miss being to naive to know what hoes and hos were, and getting in trouble for laughing at the teacher when I thought she said "hose". The other kid who got in trouble was thinking "Hos".

I miss being able to just space out in the middle of my little league games.

I miss being able to fall usleep under the racks of clothes at department stores.

I miss Thrifty pharmacy stores, because even though Rite Aid kept Thrifty Ice Cream, Rite Aid SUCKS.

I miss being able to pretend you were a lion without also being a furry.

I miss the time before I knew what a furry was.


I miss speculating what sex was like in 2nd grade.


And stuf.f... Though I don't really miss being a child.

I had a few slammers too, only played a few times, but it was cool at the time. Who knows maybe they will bring them back some day. Picture it like 2460 flying cars and space pogs, pogs that float on air.

God I remember when I had some pogs of the Avengers and VR Troopers. Oh VR Troopers, I miss you. That and Beetle Borgs. God, the White Beetle Borg rocked for the ONE episode he was in and never seen again.

Phantom Ranger from one of those Power Rangers seasons. He was the epitome of an enigma and he just plain rocked.

I miss that toys from McDonald's either used to be awesome or that I just found them more awesome when I was a kid. I would've killed for a Power Ranger Morpher toy.

Naptime in Kindergarten.

Kirby's Avalanche.

I really don't think adding one word to the title of this thread made any difference what so ever. With that said let's get back on topic.

Ninja turltles action figures. I had like everything, the car, the blimp, the sewer, the terror dome or whatever it was called. Krang with the gaint robot body. Like 6 million Don Leo Mikey and Raph action figures and not one damn foot soldier.

Ignoring Sano...

Technodrome. That's dope, I never had that. Seems like everytime someone talks about TMNT toys they say they "had like everything". Interesting. But your collection was pretty choice.

My brother went nuts on the TMNT toys. I'd say I'd had "about everything" as well, but that's realistically not true. I did have a whole lot. I remember Krang, the van, all four turtles in different costumes (Some normal, some samurais, and some weird). Second place to that large collection would be Power Rangers, next to blocks and Legos.

OH. I just remembered, did anyone ever had a toy made up of a bunch of pipes with different routes and obstacles on/in them that you could manually construct, and at the very top you placed marbles and had a marble race? I actually miss that thing the most. It was a blast when I was little. I forgot what it's called.

I had this TMNT vehicle.. It had a pizza cannon and you'd shoot little pizzas all over the place. It was actually written ON the toy (not box) in a different colour made very obvious that you are to be careful not to launch pizzas at people's eyes. So dope. It used batteries or something so it launched those pizzas pretty hard.

I also had their sewer base which is amazing. It has a periscope and like a spike ball trap and power cords on the street up above. So dope.

And Chaos, I have/had that too. So dope. Some of the pieces still linger about in boxes in the house.

I am so surprised nobody's mentioned the best thing ever.

My brother and I used to play the crap out of Pogs.  Sure it was a fad that was quick to arrive and even quicker to leave, but I miss it. 

"And if you're the Whos I hope you are, you will too."

I still have all of my pogs.

AND my slammers.

:)

Oh yeah, I had that too.

Never had something like that, unless it was a mini set where the turtles and shredder were the size of your thumb...

But I just remembered my brother had a TMNT fish tank. It'd be a regular Sewer theme in the water where the fishes swam and on top of the tank was a street layout of paper cutouts of the turtles fighting the Shredder.

And Chaos, I have/had that too. So dope. Some of the pieces still linger about in boxes in the house.

Dope? DOPE!?

... I loved that thing. ;.;

The sewer set was regular size for the regular action figures.

Dope means it's good.

I still have lots and lots of TMNT action figures, but solely the action figures.

I had the big guys, that could transform from small, tiny turtles to big ones. I had most of the bad guys (Rocksteady / Bebop / Shredder / Krang), and I had the blimp. Not too shabby, but still.

I miss Starcraft being popular and having an active community make new maps for it.

(I was ~12 when I lurked BNet. That counts, right?)

I can't build there, somethin's in the way.

My friend and I sometimes say that to each other when something/someone gets in our way or whatever.

I also miss friday nights on ABC, TGIF. Boy Meets World and all the other shows I can't seem to remember. Back when it was cool to watch it.

Did they get married in the end? I don't recall what happened in the finale.

I thought they got married about half way in.

They got married in college. Well after half-way in but before the end. There was at least a whole season of them married, 'cause I remember they had all these problems like having to live in the married couples' dorms which are trash.
