Born in 87.
Watched Doug, AHHH! Real Monsters!, Cow & Chicken (which was hilarious), and Pinky and the Brain. Watched Fresh Prince too. And Dinosaurs. And Family Matters, and Boy Meets World. Always up on Saturday mornings for the toons, especially Spider-Man. I had a collection of about 30 Goosebumps books that I sold in our yard sale when we moved in 2000. Played Oregon Trail in the school computer lab with all the old Macs. Said "NOT" occasionally. Did all that inky binky bonky nonsense. Hide and go seek was one of the best ways to pass time in the neighborhood with the other kids. Never watched Captain Planet much. My parents thought Power Rangers was too violent and didn't want me to watch it. I had one friend with a SNES and another with a Genesis, so Donkey Kong Country and Sonic were the platformers I grew up with. PBS was the -blam!- with LaVar Burton's Reading Rainbow. I had 2 Duncan yo-yos, but I sucked with them. Sometimes I would read through Where's Waldo books in the school library, but I Spy was always better because it had cooler pictures. Warheads were awesome. Ring Pops were too. So was Surge. Yes, many things were the bomb. I had school lunches, so no lunchables for me. Yeah, those little 4 sided future predictors were funny. I still have a tube of Pogs in my closet. Both my GigaPets died, ripoffs. Windows 3.1 was on the first computer we got, then we got Windows 95 which we had till 2003. Watched Rugrats, which was awesome. Michael Jordan was the greatest athlete of all time. Haha, I remember those YIKES pencils. Even had a few. There was Gak on my kitchen ceiling for a while. The song that never ends was the official school field trip anthem. WB made movies, not TV shows. I have a Walkman somewhere in my room. I remember Are You afraid of the Dark. There was no Myspace, internet was the new thing when I was coming up through school, cell phones were bigger than house phones, and portable CD players were the most expensive thing ever. Still have the VHS collection in the cabinets under the TV. Gas was outrageously expensive when it hit $1.50. I still record on my VCR.
^Nice wall of text I created there.
