I just got back here and had totally forgotten I even posted this here! They are always posting these types of things on myspace, but they are always for people at LEAST a decade younger than I am, so I thought I would make up one of my own. I did it all right off the top of my head too. I was worried the boy, girl questions would sound sexist, but I didn't want it to be a completely girl thing, so I threw in some things I remember my brother having. Anyway, here are my answers:
1. What was the crying Indian commercial about?
He looked out over the land that used to be his people's, and it was covered with litter. And a single tear rolled down his face. I remember being SO SO UPSET about this commercial. I was somewhere under the age of 5, and I guess my 'high sensitivity' was already a part of me then.2. What was the beginning phrase the chick yelled out on Electric Company?
HEY YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!3. Place the line, "Cletus you dipstick!"
Roscoe B Coltrane, Dukes of Hazzard.
4. Were you ever able to get a slinky to walk down stairs (alone or in pairs, making a slinkedy sound)?
I swear these things would not walk down stairs and this was only a gimmick.
5. Did you ever have Shrinky Dinks?
Yes
6. Did you own (Girls) one of those Barbie heads you could put makeup on? (Guys) A Millenium Falcon?
I had one of those barbie heads, you could put makeup on her and fix her hair. My brother had all kinds of Star Wars stuff, which, much to his dismay, my Mom gave away after he was an adult. They would be worth so much money now!!!7. Do you remember why the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon got taken of the air? (or at least the rumor that went around).
I wasn't really into D&D, but the short lived cartoon was pretty cool. There was an episode where this sorcerer was quoting Revelations and people freaked out because they thought it was satanic, then it was taken off the air.
8. Complete this phrase: Up your nose with a rubber hose...
Twice as far with a chocolate bar9. Who is Mikey and how did he 'supposedly' die?
The urban legend was that he (the life cereal kid) choked to death while eating pop rocks and drinking a coke. It wasn't true.
10. Did you have a (Girls) Baby Alive? (Boys) An Indiana Jones whip?
You could feed Baby Alive food and it would come out in its diaper. In retrospect it was pretty gross. My brother was obsessed with Indiana Jones and had a hat and whip so he could pretend he was him.
11. Did you love Indiana Jones (Boys and Girls)?
I loved him, and Han Solo too.
12. Do you remember The Hardy Boys?
Parker Stevensen and Shaun Cassidy. My Mom and friends mom took us to see Shaun Cassidy in concert, I was about 11. We did nothing but scream the entire time. Ours mothers just laughed their *ss*s off at us.
13. Did you play Pick up Sticks, The Game of Life, or Chinese Checkers?
These are games I remember playing all the time with my brother.
14. What is the response to, "How much farther Papa Smurf"?
"Not far now!" They did this on several episodes.On a side note, I recently saw a Family Guy episode that showed the Smurfs talking all dirty, but they replaced everything with the word 'smurf'; "Man, I smurfed the smurf out of Smurfette last night!" "No smurf??? Are you smurfing me???" Family Guy is great for references from my generations. But very risque, so watch at your own risk.
15. (Girls) did own a pair of Dr Scholls? (Boys) did you get a perm (like the Bradys)?
I had those hard wooden Dr. Scholls, and wooden clogs. I remember the older guys all having perms.
16. Did you ever have feathered hair, AND carry a comb in your back pocket (so that you could constantly re-feather it).
I remember this so clearly!17. Did you own one of those record players that fold up into a little suitcase type thing?
We listened to this all the time! I remember having the 45's that you had to put the round yellow thing on for. We had Disco Duck, Yackity Yack, Alone Came Jones, Hey Jude, Cecilia, an album of Edgar Allan Poe stories, and an album of Disney songs.18. What song does the line "and the chicken taste like wood" come from?
Sugar Hill Gang, Rappers Delite.19. What currently famous male actor got his start as a narc on 21 Jump Street (and complained about the fact bitterly)?
You all got this, Johnny Dept. He was also on the first Nightmare on Elm Street Movie.20. What is a Sleestack?
Land of the Lost creature. I remember being SOOOOO fascinated by this show!21. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was actually cool?
Everybody still loved him when Thriller came out.
22. What Is The First Thing That Comes To Mind When You Hear "Lamant you big dummy!"
You all got this one too, Sanford and Son.
23. What TV show theme song started as, "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air"
The Greatest American Hero. I remember nothing but the song and that the guy had curly blonde hair.
24. Who is David Banner?
You all got this one too, the Incredible Hulks alter ego.
25. What did Wonder Woman's gold lasso do?
Make people tell the truth. I LOVED Wonder Woman! That was one of the very first TV shows that showed a woman who kicked *ss!!!
26. What famous Hispanic singer was once a member of the boy group Menudo?
You all got this too. I remember me and all my friends had one guy picked as our favorite. Mine was always Rickie Martin!27. Do you still use the word "like" way more than necessary?
To an embarrassing extent. That and 'totally'.> 1) At any time in your life did you own a metal lunchbox, and if so, what was on it?
Josie and the Pussycats.> 2) Did you own the game "simon"?
Yes> 3) Have you ever stepped on a lego in bare feet?
No, but I remember what Playdo tastes like.
Here's some more (its yes to all of these for me):Did you own those big fat flavored lip gloss things called Lip Smackers?
Did you wear Loves Baby Soft, and/or Jean Nate?
Did you ever wear your hair like Chrissy Snow?
Do you remember the episode of Barney Miller where someone left the police officers some 'special' brownies, which they all ate.
Did your entire family gather together to watch Roots?
