Go on. Nostalgiaize. Anything.

Go on. Nostalgiaize. Anything.


Remember those sweet, warm New England summers? Remember sipping lemonade underneath a shady tree? Remember when you hit that pedestrian with your car at the crosswalk and then just drove away? Pepperidge Farm remembers, but Pepperidge farm ain't just gonna keep it to Pepperidge farms self free of charge. Maybe you go out and buy yourself some of these distinctive Malano cookies maybe this whole thing disappears

I remember when this thread was at a better place. so far away in a land full of milk and honey, and vegetarian snacks and food for those who have to watch what they eat. yes i remember those days.

Durr... Who shot who in the what now?

Remember the 90s? Back when the economy was booming, gas and food were cheap, and America was the unquestioned number one country on earth?

*sighs*

those were the days...

I remember back when you could take somebody to a back alley and beat the living crap out of 'em. Now we have all of these laws, restrictions and "police officers" getting in my way.

*Goes back to playing GTA IV*

You forgot Seinfeld.

Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be, back in my day...

You forgot Seinfeld.

and I was happy I did... thanks for F*$king reminding me of that drek! :headbang:

You forgot Seinfeld.

Grrrrrrr.....


Watching Tango and Cash on the tv right now. Maaaaan, I thought that film was brilliant when I was 7 or 8.

Oye, what was I thinking. That's not nostalgia, that's regret.

You forgot Seinfeld.

And Frasier before they changed the set lighting.

and I was happy I did... thanks for F*$king reminding me of that drek! :headbang:

:eek: You DON'T LIKE SEINFELD!!!

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!

Remember back when there was an intelligent, though fun, democrat in the presidency? And when the popular vote actually meant something? Good times, gooood times

tell ya what, you can take away my crackers as well because I ALSO HATED FRIENDS!!! :headbang:

Massive difference. Friends is just ok, in an non-offensive braindead kind of way. Seinfield is genius.

tell ya what, you can take away my crackers as well because I ALSO HATED FRIENDS!!! :headbang:

Friends did indeed lack. Yet, if you can see The Cigar Store Indian (a Seinfeld episode) and not find humor, I feel most sorry for you.

"It's just, I've never seen a beautiful lady reading 'the Guide' so far away from a TV. You must really like television."

(George with full wine glasses): "I hope prune juice is alright. It's the only thing I had that was chilled."

That's understandable, "Friends" was a crappy show.

Remember those long do nothing summers when school was out? :fluffle:

takes a drive down Nostalgia lane...

Shows I grew up with...

it's not the humor nor the level of said humor. but for me, I just never got into Seinfeld, neither the show nor the actor/comedian.

Same with Friends.

ohhh remember the theme to the Gary Shandling show?


Remember Super Dave Osborne? Mister Bill? The 'Where's the beef?' lady?

Remember Super Dave Osborne? Mister Bill? The 'Where's the beef?' lady?
oh... yeah, I remember those.

and "Not Necessarily the News!"
"Turkey Television"
"You Can't Do That on Television"
"RoundHouse"

You guys rememember the good ol' days when Pluto was a planet?

Sigh....Everything was so much easier back then.

Same with Friends.

It is all about humor with me. I have never been "into" the show or the actor, I just enjoy seeing insane people's antics.

*particularly unattractive infant in the crib*

Ben: Elaine, you have children?

Elaine: Me? Oh no, but I'd love to have a baby, I mean, I can't wait to have a baby. I'm just dyin' to have a baby.

Ben: A beautiful woman like you should. You're quite breathtaking.

Elaine: Breathtaking? I'm breathtaking?

Carol: *looking at infant* And he's very particular. Ben, you're staying tonight, right?

Ben: Sure.

Carol: Oh, just look at him!

Ben: Yeah, he really is breathtaking.

*a while later...*

Elaine: Some ugly baby, huh?

Ben: What did you say?

Elaine: I said, uh, some snuggly baby.

Ben: He is something.

Elaine: Well, to tell you the truth, Dr. Feffa, I , I was surprised to hear you use a word like breathtaking to describe a baby, I mean, because you also used it referring to me.

Ben: Well, you know Elaine, sometimes you say things just to be nice.

How many people here missed those days when their Parent(s) paid for everything?

How many people here missed those days when their Parent(s) paid for everything?

I do. I miss being with my mom at her house.:(

Nostalgia of the day: I miss those rainy days when I was a little girl and my grandmother convinced my mother to let me stay home from school and she would make me the most delicious fabada. It just doesn´t happen anymore now that I´m 27.:(

I remember when there was no home computers or Internet. I remember when playing video games required you go down to the arcade. I remember when cartoons were only on Saturday morning before noon. I remember when kids played outside on a nice sunny day. How things have changed. :(

Theres lots of things I miss ... I miss being an Eleven year old.

How many people here missed those days when their Parent(s) paid for everything?

Luckily thats still partly true for me.

Good ol' Pluto.

I miss the Nazz.

Ahahaha....:D

Personally, I miss being 14 or 15. Years pregnant with all possibilities, but not overburdened by considerations of the future, years in which one can enjoy the invulnerability and carelessness of youth and the social life of an adult.

I miss High School, I mean don't get me wrong, I hated High School, but the High School problems seem to be so much simpler than the problems I have now.

I miss the days where people didn't see the past through rose-tinted glasses.

Wait...

Personally, I miss being 14 or 15. Years pregnant with all possibilities, but not overburdened by considerations of the future, years in which one can enjoy the invulnerability and carelessness of youth and the social life of an adult.

I definitely agree with this although that might be due to another exam tomorrow.

Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be, back in my day...

you beat me to it!


cartoons were better in my day. Defenders of the Earth, Cities of Gold, the Gummi Bears, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Ghostbusters... they all rocked! i don't like watching kid's TV these days as its just depressing and total crap:rolleyes:

but then i'm obviously biased... but i don't care ;)

agreed. my friends and i all working full time makes it very difficult to have a social life, which is a shame now i'm getting back the ability to have a social life :headbang:

I liked the evenings when a strong thunderstorm would play above our heads, you would sit out on the front veranda and watch the majesty and beauty of nature. Those were the days when you didn't have a care in the world.

I remember when lollies were 1c each, and when ABC used to show good shows after school not the crap they have on know (Roman Mysteries and Blue water high is good), any Aussies on here that grew up in the 90's what shows on ABC did you like?

I remember the fun I used to have down by the back of the school in the "forbidden zone" when we would sit and watch the clouds go by, discussing such things as the handball game we played at recess, and why we all hated Derek.

As for those discussing Friends, I used to like it of course I was much younger and even laughed at it. I watched a few episodes and I wonder how anybody could find it funny it is crap, I know people who watch it today and laugh their heads off, some people just don't have a sense of humour.

I could go on but it would take pages on this thread, and since I don't have a specific thing to look back on my head is just swimming with stories.

Yep never got that one myself.

How can watching a bunch of whiners, whineing be funny?

Heh. Exams....I have two 2000 word essays this term...:D

Durr... Who shot who in the what now?

Kristin Shepard. Or Maggie Simpson. You pick...

I really miss the 90's Nickolodeon. I miss All That, Kenan and Kel, and pretty much everything of the 90's Nickolodeon. Now it's all Zoey 101 and other crap, it sucks :( That and 16 is too old for it anyway :(

I also miss 5th grade, when I had one class instead of 5.

I miss the Nazz, Drunk Commies Deleted, and various other NSGers who aren't on NSG or GM anymore.

I miss not having to worry that college was coming in 2 years.

I miss not having to worry about acne at all.

I miss not living where I live now.

That and 16 is too old for it anyway :(


Screw that. Sixteen is not too old for it and neither is 22 :D

I long for the days when there were only 251 Pokemon... and I say 251 instead of 151 because the second generation was still good, maybe even a little better. Now it sucks, I can't even remember half the new Pokemon, and they make ones just for the sake of weird types. Fighting/Poison? Steel/Psychic? Seriously? Not to mention the starter(!) that evolves into Grass/Ground, or the (main!) legendary Dragon/Steel type Pokemon. Ugh.
But back to the subject at hand... Super Nintendo. Best. Games. EVER. SMW, SMW2, SMRPG, F-Zero, LoZ: ALttP... the list goes on. Ah... those were the days. Except Shaq Fu. Worst. Game. EVER.
And when my parents would hand me whatever I wanted on a silver platter... instead of now when they intentionally deprive me of things, (like a meal (I have to make a PBJ for myself if I want to eat), or a Wii) to 'foster' 'independence'. If this is independence, I think I'd prefer to stay dependent, thank you very much. [/jk]
Oh, and I liked the days when math wasn't trying to make my head a'splode.
:mp5: Die, math!

I miss those old analog computers. Sure, they took up half the house, and cost about $100,000, not to mention the massive LPs of programs I had to buy, but they just had more character. These sleek, new machines just aren't the same.

I learned on an IBM 1401. It did take up a large room, but you know, it didn't take as long to boot up as a PC does.

Yeah...if only we hadnt Elected a Fucktard...

Oh wait.....we didnt...ZING! lol

Everytime I hear Guttermouth I miss my friend Courtney and how we drove around with Lipstick blaring and her driving like a lunatic in her little red bug.

Remember Commander Keen? With those little snails that left green ooze and those funny jumping dogs? Wasn't that tubular?

Ahhhh... being a teenager. When a roll in the hay happened more frequently and lasted longer. (Well, it said anything!)

Ahhh...I miss the innocence of my youth. Where I was carefree, had no responsibilities, no idea how life worked, and ran to mommy to fix my boo-boos.

Now I am just a bitter old hag.
:(

I miss Polio.

That's because you went to a shitty school. My high school was awesome. Then again, I was at the arts school. Extremely liberal.

Freedom.

I remember when there was no home computers or Internet. I remember when playing video games required you go down to the arcade. I remember when cartoons were only on Saturday morning before noon. I remember when kids played outside on a nice sunny day. How things have changed. :(
And gas was a quarter a gallon and it was all leaded... Cars had big V-8s with Holley carbs and Edelbrock manifolds... Fuel injection and catalytic converters were a thing of the future...

Neighbors knew each other and actually socialized --- bridge parties were fun.

Kids got their first job delivering the newspaper or mowing lawns...

We got to disappear from home to go out and play. Parents didn't want to know where we were going, only that we'd be home by dinner. There just weren't that many bad things that could happen to a kid.

Yeah, things have changed.

Voyage to The Bottom of The Sea (series), Combat, Rat Patrol, Star Blazers!

Being wealthy (relative to today) in the mid 80's

US National debt under 1 trillion

BBS's

Space Shuttle Challenger

The World Wide Web was just being talked about

Wondering if the WWW would be worth bothering with

People wanted to be responsible for their own lives

no they weren't, remember how the music went? horrible, the 90s were just plain pain for me.
i'm so glad i left school, goddamn it, if only i knew then what i know now.
I was born in 1990, and if I look back at it it friggin' rocked. Because in those days, the cartoons where still góód. I mean, Samurai Pizza Cats, Biker Mice from Mars (really, the most clear anti-corporate cartoon I've ever seen), Bobby's World. Man I loved them...

BBS's

Before Compuserve and AOL


Remember the day that AOL was allowed to use the internet news groups? Remember the flood of emails that were nothing more than "Me Too"?

So...

I was at the mall today, and I walked into 3D Games.

The first things I saw were a Dreamcast, SNES cartridges, and a Virtual Boy.

My head pounded with nostalgia to the effect that I had a nosebleed.

(Really, what else can I say? I had a NostalgiaGasm?)

Ah the good old days back in the 90's, when I was just a little kid....

Wasn't completely wired to the computer, unlike now...

Cents were actually worth something (thank you inflation)...

Didn't have to worry about big, ugly things like terrorism, global warming, interest rates and housing prices...

Didn't need to worry about getting a job, exams and moving out cos those things were for big kids/grown ups to worry about and that was ages away...

Sigh...

Honestly, I miss the days before my female best friend kissed one of my male friends and I became totally fucked up for a while.

In an non-offensive braindead kind of way; Seinfield is genius.

Fixed :) *puts away wrench*


I remember He-Man and the Masters of the Universe... and GIJoe.

I remember when I was more carefree and rarely had a bad day.

I remember when I could call my freinds and be able to find something to do.

I remember when Gas wasn't $4 a gallon.

I remember when Milk was cheaper than gasoline.

I remember when my girlfreind lived in the same country.

I remember Midnight BBQ's in the schoolyard on the last day of school attended by almost everyone.

I remember when people actually had good taste in music!

Yeah.. I remember... a lot...

remember Pogs? and tamagotchis? and the big yo-yo craze? kids were really easily pleased when I was at school

maybe it's just because I'm a girl

Anyone remember slavery? God those were the good old days.

I remember hearing about this amazing new band, DragonHeart, with all its mold-breaking potential. I also remember when it became known as DragonForce. On top of that, I remember when they first released Through the Fire and the Flames on an album. Going way back, I remember when artists didn't need to remix their music to make it as awesome as they did with one.

I remember when having an indie band meant something.

I remember when rap was good.

I remember when Travis Barker was a ska drummer. I also remember the name they gave him. Baron von Tito. Haha.

Yea.. what the heck was with that? One day I go to school and people were playing with yo-yos all over the place. I could have sworn those things were around for decades but for some unknown reason everyone started using them. (though I never really did)

I must agree with Gargoyles. I loved those cartoons.

I remember My Little Pony and those little skydancer thingies, they were awesome. I remember when my mum bought me their magazine I was so excited I nearly burst my corset.
