iRemember: Lake Minnetonka

October 15, 2012

I remember when…

Parents threw blows for a Cabbage Patch

Underoos and Foot in Pajamas with the Feet attached

Inspector Gadget

Knight Rider

The Get aLong Gang

Tyco With the Night Glo

Ovaltine, Tang

Rocked Flat Tops Gumbys ‘S’ and Jehri Curls

USA for Africa made we are the world

After School Specials, Huffy bikes with the spokes

You can’t do that on Televison and Locker Jokes

Rocked the Trapper Keeper with the Garfield Folders

Girls wore the sweatshirts hung off one Shoulder

Plus the head bands, leggins and Baby Hair

Bedtime, Birthday, Cheer,  and Friend Bear

Paper Mache,remember Construction paper?

Small Wonder next door Harriet the neighbor

American Gladiators

Mystery Mix Now and Laters

Woody, Chilly Willy, Buzz Buzzard, Wally Gator

The Bad guy in Grease was Crater Face

Grease 2 had Cool Rider, but the movie was a waste

Prince wore lace, Purple rain? Better than cake

The Best part? Mannn Apollonia and the Lake

Remember Shake and Bake?

The Girl “And I helped”

Messin up in Spades like “My bad Who Delt”?

Use to play Basketball with hollow milk crates

The Wheels you’d strap on your shoes and made em skates

Bent out a Clothes hanger and hooped with socks

Be in the back of class doin the human beat box

I Remember Cheers,

Kevin Arnold on the The Wonder Years

Toys in those Big catalogs from Sears

The numbers you pressed to make pay phones ring

Soul Train, BET Teen Summit, Screen Scene

The Reebok Pumps

The Nike Dunks

Bugs Bunny Pete Puma off the “How many Lumps?”

Snoopy Sno cones was like a Virgin Daquiri

Makin ish with the Play Doh fun factory

Remember how nasty it got when it dried?

I remember when my Bike got stloen I almost cried

Remember Changin “F’s ” to “A’s” dont lie

Karate Kid yo! Sweep the Leg Cobra Kai

I remember Frankenberry Cereal, man I was a fiend

Diffrent Strokes Kimberly hair turned Green

Atari, Pitfall, Burgertime, and Defender

The Nintendo track and Field with mat?

I remember.

    I still contend that Grease 2 was better than the original. Michelle Pfeiffer>Olivia Newton John AND dare I say it, Maxwell Caulfield>John Travolta. And the music was dope! “Girl for all Seasons” “Who’s That Guy?” and “Cool Rider.” COME ON!

      That is perfectly fine you contending such … and that’s the beauty of America (Canadian) you can have your own wrong opinion lol
      Music and plot waaaaay better in Grease 1 everyone knows that

        What is the plot of Grease? rekindling a summer romance. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Grease 2- the mysterious English student who had to become a “cool rider” in order to win the heart of leader of the Pink ladies????

          Summer Romance, Preggo scares, Turf Wars, Dangerous races, Slumber parties, breath taking Thrill rides, Dance offs, all that and more in: Grease! It’s also The Word! lol

        I FULLY agree on the Grease 2 being better, songs were better, No John Travolta, & it’s a lot easier to be historically accurate with Motorcycles than with cars, I can spot like 5,000 Historical Inaccuracies regarding cars in Grease 1, but in Grease 2, Motorcycles are Generic enough so that the only thing, if you watch the scene where Michael makes the “BIG JUMP” when after he makes it, Louis DiMucci walks to the edge of the hill, looks down & says “He Ain’t Down There!!” & Johnny Nogerelli responds “What do ya mean he ain’t down there?!? Where’d he go, Biker Heaven?!?”… the jump they filmed was actually Honda Factory Team Professional Motocross Racer & 1982 Season 250cc class Supercross Champion Donnie Hansen jumping a Honda CR250R…
