50 Things You Will Never Get For Christmas Again
 

For us late 80's, and 90's babies.

50 Things You Will Never Get For Christmas Again

Wow what a trip down memory lane lol, one thing i remembered getting as a kid for christmas that didnt make the list was "Pogs" if anyone remembers those, fun times i tell you.

Definitely props on the beanie baby fad. Cabbage Patch Kids as well? I'd add a Furby, but they're back. :icon17:

Legos should probably be replaced by an actual Gameboy. I know people who still get Legos as adults!

I was born '90, and I had, and still have my pogs and slammers! (I got brought in because my brother was born in 1980. And pogs WERE the shít

Furbies and Beanie Babies are still made, but their major fad is over, every ONCE IN A WHILE, somehow some become collectible again.

Yeah, Legos shouldn't be there at all. Kids still get Legos, but not the ghetto *** regular blocks, they have too many sets and figures now.
GameBoy original with the 4AA batteries and almost NO battery life was a trip, I remember arguing with my brother over who would play it on long drives and such, LOL. Never again, though... But I think most new GameBoys still play all the old games

I was born in '72. Some of that **** is still around in one form or another...

Born in 1990? Wow. I graduated HS that year, and had long since lost my virginity by then. I feel old... :ugh2:

LOL, sorry? I don't mean to make anyone feel old! And congrats on losing your V-card!

my wife still has her donkykong gamewatch and it works.

3 that didnt make the list i remember getting was

haha, i still have some of those things laying around in a box somewhere.

Hell yeah on the He-Man gear. Born in '81 and I remember getting Evil Horde Slime Pit to go with Castle Grayskull. I remember the slime turned to dust after about 15 years :icon17:

that he-man theme song is in my head. can't get it out. :ugh:

Ah, that's okay :tup:

As to the other: I was 15, she was 16 and definitely nothin to write home about about, but still a good year to be alive... :icon17:

LOL, well... A) she was older that you=score, B) holy Christ you were young, or am I now the old geezer?

I graduated high school in 73 when you were one year old. Now who's the old guy :mad: !!!

Calculator watches...

I only recently tossed out a Zelda watch that probably still worked given a new battery. Plus a handful of those other little handheld games.

Give another 10 years and we'll be adding video game cartridges (or any physical media) to the list. :)

oh my god a game gear. i think i still ahve mine somewhere.

finger boards lmao. i feel so old now.

anybody remember pogs?

Yup, this was the craze back when I was 5th grade... my dad worked for a printing company that makes these things so he would bring home boxes and I give them away or sold them to the kids in my class lol thanks for the reminder that I'm getting old :(

You are :hello:

The beanie baby investment...

Born into a pre-AIDS world (and also in the NE corridor) we started young, but kept the number of partners to a dull roar.

In the "dirty" (?) south, where i have dwelled the last 15 or so years (****? really?), folks are more frisky, and partner accumulation is greater it seems, but age of onset remains in the vast 13 - 21 range.

15 (my year of achieving "manhood") was neither overly young nor overly old in my time... (and locale).

Back to toys: Notwithstanding the end of some playthings' eras, there are still many coold toys out there for those of us whocan still enjoy them.

I bought a limited edition "tarman" from ROTLD not that long ago (for about 1/3 of the ebay asking price). It rocks.

Yay! My (relative) youth has returned!

Well, centenarians are the fastest growing age group. Somebody's gotta be making it there...

****... I remember pogs. I think they are now superseded by Beyblades or some such similar crap.

Someone on here isn't even 20 yet... they can confirm...?

Hey, fellow old mutts and wild, rampaging, kids: I owned the orginal PONG.

Like the actual, real, console pong. It had something that hooked into a TV (B&W, at that) and came with paddles.

This was BEFORE ATARI. It was ******* AMAZING at the time. My parents bought it, natch, and I was well behaved for a whole week in gratitude. It may have included a built in TANK game... I can't recall. I was maybe 5 or 6. If older, I can't recall... we weren't a monied family. Pong was middle class baller back then (well sort of).

It was like banging two rocks together to make a spark compared to PS4, which is months away from release... :ugh2:

Ah... but do you remember the ill-fated nintendo 3d thing that had Mario Tennis?

Now THAT was a debacle... if the Wii eventulaly tanks, that was the foreshadowing.

I believe that makes you a proper "boomer".

As a (as expected) disgruntled member of Gen X: I say, help educate the new generations of Reagan's absurd beatification.

I can get behind Eisenhower (who cautioned against the military expansions of our "empire" he presciently noted) , but Reagan's recent sainthood mystifies... it's as if Nixon were awarded golden robes by Trudeau...

l will leave off, as political threads are forbidden in the Land of Zed, and I don't wish to sully the thread.. but my request to you outside of his particular forum is sincere. :tiphat:

Dpoint, if the thread gets closed on the basis of this post -- I apologize... if the mods clamp down, I owe you a beer.

Lol, this thread has turned into "Jordo!'s rants about how fùcking old he is, or not is (relatively)"


Just busting your balls, new respect for you, I LMAO'd

:wtf2:

lol street sharks


"JAWESOME"

:tiphat:

That last post (rant) of mine was sponsored by Maker's Mark :icon17:
