Baby Rollerblade


Submitted by Katie R

Baby Rollerblade made me want to learn how to Rollerblade- until she crossed over that line from the linoleum on the kitchen floor to the carpet in the living room and fell over onto one of her beautiful blond pigtails.

T-Shirt Knots


TSHIRT%20SLIDE

Submitted by Mary D

Was your Tie-Dye or NKOTB T-shirt too long for you? No problem. You just had to tie it in a knot or slide it through one of these stylish buckles. It allowed me to wear ladies size medium shirts with ease.

The Uncle Floyd Show


Submitted by rosekey19

From Wikipedia:

The Uncle Floyd Show aired in the New Jersey and New York market from 1974 to 1998, for a time airing on the state wide PBS network, New Jersey Network. It can be read as a children’s show, or a parody of a children’s show. Much of the humor has a twist aimed at adults in the style of Soupy Sales and Pee Wee Herman. The show featured slapstick comedy, puppetry, some audience participation, and piano music. Floyd’s puppet sidekick (actually a ventriloquial figure) was named Oogie.

La Linea


Submitted by Slawomir B

This is a cartoon I remember from my youth. It was simple in design as the character as well as his surrounding were basically a single white line on the background., and also based on a simple idea of the animator tormenting his character in many devious (and funny) ways. Even though years have passed the cartoon lost nothing from its humour, but they don’t show it on TV any more and only recently I found out there are episodes on the internet.

I had a remote control motor ball when I was younger. Sadly it didn’t live after being sprayed by the garden hose.

Submitted by Robin

Twister beads were popular around 1983. I remember having beads in almost every color and twisting them to match my outfit each day. You could do different designs depending on what colors you chose and how you twisted.

Omni Kin Ball

Submitted by Pancho V

Don’t you remember going to gym waiting for that hungover coach to break out the the Omni-Kin Ball. It was a win back then when we would all play volleyball in kindergarten and most likely get slammed by it (which was most of the time me).But now we have to play with rules that just suck out all the fun out of it.I mean who wants to stay in place waiting for the ball to come to you.Where’s the energy in that.

From Wikipedia:

The Adventures of T-Rex was an co-production between Japanese and American animated series that aired in syndication from 1992 to 1993 in North America. The show featured five musical Tyrannosaurus brothers who played to sold-out crowds as a vaudeville group while also secretly fighting crime as “T-REX,” masterminded by Professor Edison.

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)


Wu-TangClanEntertheWu-Tanga

Submitted by Troy H

Possibly the greatest hip-hop album of all time by hands down the greatest hip-hop group of all time. November 9, 1993, The Wu-Tang Clan came on the scene and put New York City back as number #1 in hip-hop. Even people who don’t actively listen to rap or hip-hop know the lyrics of half of the songs on this album. It is something you think of when you think 90’s music. Wu-Tang Clan aint nuttin to f**k wit!

JNCO Jeans


jnco

Submitted by Michael M

From Wikipedia:

JNCO, pronounced “Jenco”, is a Los Angeles, California based clothing company specializing in boys and men’s jeans. Founded in 1985 by Milo and Jacques Revah, JNCO is an acronymn, short for: “Judge None, Choose One”. The brand gained recognition in the early 1990s with its boys ultra-wide straight legged denim jeans featuring elaborate pocket logos and a unique street look. This street look was popularized throughout the 90s starting in Los Angeles and working its way nation-wide. JNCO also manufactures T-shirts, khaki pants and other clothing articles. Unlike similar California based apparel manufacturers, JNCO manufactured most of its products in the United States, mainly at S.M.J. American Manufacturing Co., a 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) operation also owned by Milo and Jacques Revah. This quote was taken from an archive of the JNCO website from June 29, 1998:[1] “Since 1991,JNCO has delivered the hippest denim jeans and phat styles to satisfy the demands of even the most hardcore hip-hop, skater and music oriented sub-cultures.”
