Born in the 80s crowd (previously known as the 30s thread)

What was the point of that? I was always told if you collected X amount you got free candy, but never once found anyone that would give it up.

 

and those kids doing all that shit without helmets! They're gonna die!

My mom had this soft book she bought for my niece when she was born. She's 22 now. It had to be sewn together. It was a kit she bought. For whatever reason she never made it for her. It's an alphabet book. She found it in her attic and put it together for my second son who's now 17 months old. Anyway the I in it says for Indian and has a pic of a Native American Indian. The other letter that I get a kick out of is J is jail and has a pic of a guy in a stripped suit behind bars. That would never fly today.

 

I heard the stories too, part of our childhood I guess.

 

Childhood officially ruined

 

I gotta find pics of my Powell Peralta Steve Caballero deck, that I picked up a few months back, complete with Indy Trucks and White Powell Peralta wheels, rolling on Bones Swiss bearings.

 

Here it is...

 

SICK! I used to have the Mike V. deck with the elephant, wish I still had it. I actually just bought some t shirts with the old school powell graphics. I have a ratbones, ripper, and the mike mcgill one with the skull and snake! Takes me back.

 

My mom called me this morning "We were cleaning out some stuff upstairs and we found a toy chest full of G.I. Joes. Do you want them still?"

I went into work late to clear a spot in my extra bedroom so I can create a big ass G.I. Joe war after work. Fuck growing up!

 

truth.

 

So every now and again I find myself playing NES games on my computer, even though there is a PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 in our house. Brings back good memories.

 

i enjoy these more than the new games most times.

 

Do you remember when the old cola bottles were short and 2 liter looking, made of glass and had styrofoam labels? Back when they still sold New York Seltzers.

 

Anybody ever get to go to THE POP SHOPPE

I remember in the early 80's an old gas station that went out of business, then got transformed into this amazing place I got to go once every few months. My mom let me pick out whatever to fill the bright red crate full of all kinds of pop.

I remember shoppin at K-Mart with mom.
