alwaysjaded: As someone who used to have the chin goatee, penis head haircut wearing the fisherman hat while eating fun dip, I'm going to go do another sweep at my parents house and make sure those photos are buried in the deepest darkest pit available.

My dear nephew missed one. It's framed on the wall, attached with epoxy.

Miss Stein: 18. Bratz dolls

Bratz dolls are still around, and just recently released a line of hairless dolls (boys and girls), for kids who are fighting diseases that have cost them their hair. Good on Bratz, I say.

notchit: Zizzowop:
20. VHS started in the 80s.

Actually the 70s, late 70s, that's when I got mine.


You were cutting edge, we didn't even have a TV with a remote in the 70's :)

Thanks to all the time I spent trying to hook up in chatrooms in the 90's, I've got a Pavlovian erection from the AOL sign up sound.

Those hats are a backpackers best friend. I have half a dozen of them.

If this idiot has kept her mouth shut (before or after, I don't really care), we'd have had a very different presidential election in 1999.

Bondith: That's not the AOL dialup sound, that's the sound every dialup modem makes. I really hope the author wasn't one of those people who thought AOL was the entire Internet (or even that the Internet was the only remotely accessible network).

That sound still exists they just call it Dubstep now.

Tori Scott from saved by the bell was forgotten by Slater, Lisa Turtle and Zack when Kelly and Jessie returned. Where did she go? Did she ever exist? If so was it in a parallel dimension.

The promos for the final season of the show featured Kelly, Jessie, and Tori together, despite the fact that the actresses never actually appear in an episode together. Rather, the network alternated between "Kelly and Jessie" and "Tori" episodes each week.

The only thing I can be certain of is of the things from the 1990s Tori was forgotten but did she really exist???

Aikidogamer: Ennuipoet: The can have my goatee when the shave it from my cold, dead face.


/no seriously, I have a little double chin and the goat hides it, and I sure as hell not growing some Grizzly Adams beard

I was about the come in here and defend goatees. Glad you beat me to it. Trimmed in well, they are classy and suitable for all occasions.

I could have a beard in days, but I don't like them. No ZZ top for me.


I don't know what's funnier, the fatass who thinks people can't see his double chin from the side or the other dipshiat that thinks goatees are classy.

The '90s were last week, essentially. More time is needed before things from such a short time ago seem to emerge from cobwebs.

whatshisname: I think that list really shows how boring the 90's really were. There's nothing to love or hate. It was all just blah.

Real world pop culture stopped changing when teh Internets came along. Seriously, look at the difference between 1955 and 1965, or 1960 and 1970 in terms of hair, clothes, cars, music. 1975 to 1985 is the same way. Then tell me ANYTHING off line that looks/sounds different between 1995 and now. The phones are smaller. That's it. My '95 Civic blends in with all the slightly rounded new cars. The music is still dippy electronic pop, rap and rock. Any wardrobe item or haircut from 1995 wouldn't cause anyone to bat an eye today; even your Zubas and a mullet would just get sneered at a little more.

Yes, very well made shoes, owned quite a few. I always thought the really long boot skinhead ones were strange.

FriarReb98: 13. You're mocking Rugrats, when you could have easily gone with AARGH! Real Monsters?

maybe he was going for the specific Rugrats character?

I didn't really have a problem with real monsters, but Rugrats gets an inordinate amount of love for a fairly obnoxious show. No matter what anyone claims, Rocko's was the best Nicktoon.

Main thing I remember from the 90s was a bunch of 20 somethings really pissed off at the economy which also happened to be the healthiest in decades. Also 'Reality Bites' was seriously touted as a generation defining movie. Oh, and advertisers didn't know what the hell to do about the 'meh' culture and tried way too hard to show just how much they cared that you don't care.

/No, I don't recall ever seeing 'Information Superhighway' or infobahn. Nope, didn't happen. LALALALALALALA, can't hear you!

Spot on. Interestingly, the same could be said going backward from 1955. The difference between 1945 and 1935 wasn't much. 1895 and 1885?

MBK: I remember when I first found out that pushing/holding the "F" button in Ski-Free made you go faster, thus being able to avoid the snowman.

I remember really enjoying the yeti antics. Also, I never figured out the "F" trick. (Never was much of a gamer.) But really, the Ski-Free yeti is right up there with the grue when it comes to classic came villains.

We called it 'zomething zhitty'. Seem to recall it tasting a bit like Fresca. Even the easy girls down at the beach wouldn't drink it and they drank Boones Farm.

Zizzowop: wotthefark: steve_s: They forgot grunge rock, or as Beavis and Butthead called it, "grudge rock".

No they didn't. It's a double negative. They forgot to forget therefore some of the best albums ever made came out of Seattle from 91-95. If you think "grunge" sucks then you didn't get it or were born too late.

Think of all that great rock from the early 2000s I mean Creed sold more albums than Jimi Hendrix so they were cool right???

Led Zeppelin, REM, and Depeche Mode have never had a number one single. Celine Dion's "Falling Into You" sold more copies than any AIC, Nirvana, or Pearl Jam record so she must be great and she's Canadian.



They probably should have included "Buffcoat and Beaver".

So...where is Pearl Jam now?

Never tried either color. Speaking of shiat turning green...Why does GRAPE soda, which is purple, turn
one's shiat the most god-awful, nightmare-inducing shade of green?
