That is just scary!! I remembered everyone of the things on the list. I read BSC, Boxercar children and Sweet Valley high.

[Ags2000]

I have some confessions to make....

I still have some of the "My Little Ponies"

I still have all of my Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, the Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys, and The Babysitters Club books. In fact, I have almost the entire collection

I know all the words to ALL of Vanilla Ice's songs, not just "Ice Ice Baby" as well as some of the posters I had of him.

I WAS the Hulkster for Halloween.

I don't just remember NKOTB, I still have ALL of their albums and 2 of the videos, not to mention TONS of NKOTB posters, stickers, and yes even the NKOTB trading cards

I had a crush on MORE then one New Kids On The Block (Come on admait it, nobody could love just one, I was in love with Joey, Donnie, and Jordan)

I still have my Garbage Pal trading cards

I still have my Cabbage Patch Kids Dolls and the animals they came out with!

I could break dance, but not anymore, too old for that

I still own an ATARI game system, yes it works, and yes I still play it.

The rap to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" goes like this:

Now this is the story all about how my life got twisted upside down and I'd like to take a minute just sittin right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia I'm born and raised on a playground is where I've spent the most of my days chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys, they were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

I begged and pleaded with her day after day but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way she gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it

First class, yo this is bad, drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass if this's what the people of Bel-Air livin' like, hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror if anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought now forget it, go home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "Go, home smell you later" looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

I own many cassettes.

I had the "Care Bear Stare"perfected.

Yes I can tell you how to get to Sesame Street.

I have some copies of the original episodes of the Muppet Show.

I have a BUNCH of Star Wars action figures.

I learned how to do all sorts of things, not just how to pick a lock, from MacGyver.

I wasn't scard of the Gremlins...but I did watch myself around Christmas time :lol

I'm not sure how many Trolls I still have, I'll get back to you on that one

Yes, "Hero's in a half shell" means something to me, it means, "TURTLE POWER!"


Man, that was fun, have anymore?
