    Yep, that was the age of Innocence. Remember Willow? I blame that film for my later World of Warcraft episode as a adult.

    There is also doubt whatsoever that women are VERY good at taking something a guy said out of context and using it to her advantage! :p

    See arguments with women, they put my friggin head away! :D

    Transformers! That was perhaps the best toy commercial of all time (right up there with He-Man)! I loved it! :D

    It all stems back to the Garden of Eden when Eve sold her soul to the Devil. :mad:

    Her soul in exchange for the ability to twist what men say and an apple. :(

    ...Swing him 'round and 'round
    Bash his "ballicks" off the ground.

    And then there is the timeless...

    My Granny played for scotland
    She always scored a goal...

    Any takers?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭carlty888


    Down at the bottom of the garden,
    among the birds and the bees.
    There live a lotta little people.
    They're called the Poddington Peas.

    Sad that I remember all this cack. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,012 ✭✭✭MrsGeneHunt

    Not really carlty, thems are the things you and me grew up with... like banaman and dog-tanian and the three muskahounds and chockablock and dungeons and dragons and thundercats and those trainers you pumped up the tongue on and (these are hilarious):

    You know the meaning of wax on/wax off
    You remember a 'Man's got to chew, what a Man's got to chew'
    You wanted to be a Goonie
    You owned any cassettes
    You Believed that By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power
    You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye
    You remember David Hasselhoff when he wore clothes and talked to his car
    You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf
    You've ever held a chicken in the air, or stuck a deckchair up your nose
    Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy have ever featured on your Saturday afternoon
    10p Mr Frosty Ice Pops on long summer days!
    Gordon the Gopher!
    Your owned a compilation tape with TOP TUNES such as “Mr Vain”, “What is Love” and “Rhythm is a Dancer”.
    You taped the Pepsi Chartshow on radio one and tried in vain to pause the tape before the anoying guy talked and ruined the whole thing!
    PJ and Duncan not Ant and Dec!
    Your religiously watched Saved by the Bell on a Saturday morning!
    You know every word to the theme tune from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
    It was actually worth geting up early on a saturday morning to watch cartoons.
    You’d go round to a mates house to ‘knock on them’ to see if they wanted to play. None of this Mobile phone/Internet rubbish!
    You know the words to Bon Jovi - Shot Through The Heart (You Give Love a Bad Name).
    You just sang those words to yourself!
    You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank
    Fingermouse and Dangermouse
    Bagpuss
    Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
    You really, really wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It".
    You hid behind the sofa whenever you heard the word "Exterminate!".
    Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you were jealous.
    Important decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
    You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby".
    You know someone who appeared on Wac-a-day

    You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the "Care Bear stare." (well I didn't but some of the girlies might)
    If you ever owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines.
    You had to change into play clothes after school.
    Sesame Street!

    Your new winter coat was best used to demonstrate that your wings were like a shield of steel.
    You've ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up.
    Any elderly Scottish lady sounds like Supergran

    Superted

    Oh dear... that's enough!



    I'm sure you guys can add more...

    Count Duckulaaaa...!

    In the heart of Transylvan-ia,
    In the Vampire Hall of Fame-yeah,
    There's not a vampire zanier than...
    DUCKULA!

    Lol do you leave the door open for rude replies on purpose?! ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 cptn sensible


    I think I would be saying yes to nearly everything on the above list.
    Anybody remember Dangermouse? Am the proud (or should that be not so proud) owner of every episode on Dvd. They just dont make cartoons like they used to. But in saying that I have caught myself watching Spongebob squarepants on a Sunday morning whilst nursing a hangover!:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭carlty888


    DownMTber, that list brought tears to my eyes. Ah the memories. :rolleyes:

    You really missed out on the Cremola Foam though. It was like a sherbet thing you dissolved in water. Pure sugar. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭Fo

    It's so true that everyone had a soda stream but me :(
