I remember when: Kimmy Gibbler

November 8, 2006

I remember when:
We rocked Used Jeans,
Jelly bracelets, and let’s see…

Michael Jackson caught on fire fukn ’round with Pepsi

Shirt tales, Silverhawks, After school was never dull
He-Man, Battle cat, plus castle Greyskull

I had Capn Crunch berries came with a decoder
Then they had a submarine that ran on baking soda

Micro Machines, dude was a fast talker
Alpha bets cereal had the Wacky Wall walkers

We played Pencils I’d hold em  he’d hit em
And GOOD LAWD Rachel on Caribbean Rhythms

Garry Gnu was on the great space coaster
The Purple rain album came with a Prince poster

Three’s company, Chrissy Snow, Jack Tripper
My girl on Full house had to be Kimmy Gibbler

Connect Four, Hungry Hippos, Simon and Sorry
Frogger, Q*Bert, Pitfall, on Atari

Girls had baby hair gel’ed to their face
construction paper, school boxes, glue maybe paste

Nasty kids used to eat it,
Lisa ate her boogers
My specialty Kool-Aid with a ton of sugar

Grape mixed with lemonade
I had the mirror shades
Calculator watches, swatches and puma suedes

We played freeze tag, steps was home base
Vanilla Moon Pies, I ate ’em by the case

I remember clear pepsi
Then they had slice,
Kate and Allie, Gimme a break, Miami vice

I used to watch Alf, even knew his real name
And Silver spoons? Everybody wanted a train

Little green army men, Tonka toy trucks and
I put NWA tapes in my Teddy Ruxpin

Cabbage patch hit,
Parents were going’ crazy
Throwing blows at Toys R us for a fake baby

You couldn’t find a black one, plus they were ugly
I remember stone wash and Coca Cola Rugbys

Girls had The Barbie big Wheel, it was Pink and white
I wanted a BMX or  Sigma cuz the wheels was tight

Jolly Rancher Fire Sticks, 3 stripe socks
Eating Lemonheads, made a whistle from the box

Popples, Pound Puppies, Pretty cut and Grow
Alphie, Light brite, Tyco with the Night Glo

Fellas had Steer and Go, Girls sit and Spin
Damn, G.L.O.W Wrestling? Everything was hot back then

    I put NWA tapes in my Teddy Ruxpin…At least you kept it gangta with your doll.

    Girls had The Barbie big Wheel, it was Pink and white…This girl had an Incredible Hulk big wheel.

    And GOOD LAWD Rachel on Carribean Rhythms…I met Rachel at Pleasure Island in Orlando a few years ago and she is breathtakingly gorgeous. Can’t hate…she was one of my inspirations!

    I put NWA tapes in my Teddy Ruxpin…yeah, that’s gangsta (LOL)!

    Alphie, Light brite, Tyco with the Night Glo…I think we got the racecar track for Christmas a couple of times. They just don’t make fun like that anymore.

    Fellas had Steer and Go, Girls sit and Spin…I knew I was too big for my Sit-n-Spin the day I ended up with carpet burns on my ankles.

    You are taking me back when I was innocent…I needed someone to jog my memory..that was a while back.

    I remember walking to and from school like a mob…walking in the middle of the street like some ganstas! We would turn around like “go around us”. Someone should have ran our bad butts ova! Bad kids!

    Love it like always!

    “Then they had a submarine that ran on baking soda”

    I almost got my azz beat for using up all my grannies baking soda. Man I love it when you do these. So cool, so real. Being in the techno age we forget the simple things that kept us happy. Feel sorry for the kids nowa days, they have nothing to look forward when they try to look back at…X-Box, Phat Farm and Uggs…Da hell?!?!?!

    I remember i wanted a baby alive and my momma tried to substitute it for the black cabbage patch doll i was sooo mad. I also remember being upset cause my friend wouldn’t let me play with her lite-brite.

    does anybody remember this toy (i been trying to thing of the name for the longest!) it was just a red seat that you sat on and it had a pair of handle bars that you put your feet and hands on and you moved the handle bars until u started rolling and u could roll crazy fast down hills.

    Man! How do you come up with this!? It’s amazing how some of the toys we played with as a kid become popular again. Makes me wish I had’ve saved my Cabbage Patch dolls. And Please tell me you remember Tinker toys. They seem REALLY stupid now, but I used to love them when I was a kid. lol

    I had Capn Crunch berries came with a decoder==>> And of course you’ll remember ANYTHING pertaining to Captain Crunch!! lol! (is the Captain related to you or something?)
    I remember my brother ripped my Prince poster and I held a grudge against him for 6 months.
    I had natural babyhair… no gel… no brush! gheah!
    I miss clear Pepsi. Nobody ever remembers it.
    hated when my brothers would leave those damn army men all over the floor and I would get up in the middle of the night and step on them and hurt me feet!
    No Barbie Big Wheel for DC… Knight Rider here.
    I liked the Roller Derby Chicks that used to fight… good times
    I used to eat the paste in kindergarden… it tasted like mints to me!
