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.

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

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...

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 I think they are now superseded by Beyblades or some such similar crap.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...?

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.

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

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.
