That actually makes me feel worse.

But Samuel L. Jackson does too, and that makes me feel better.

I remember getting sent to the principal office because of an And 1 shirt I had in High School. It was the one that said "Grab a straw cause you suck" I had to wear it inside out for the rest of the day.

Now I also remember wearing those ______ is forever, the rest is just details shirts. I had a basketball one.

Had this happen to me, too. Had an AE T-shirt that said "Punchy's Pub - Body Shots Every Night." School admins didn't find it as funny as I did.

Embarrassing.

No, no. The fact that he is still doing it, but I've moved past it. Makes me feel good to know that I'm not on the same plane.

Naturally, this plane does not have motherfucking snakes.

Pokemon cards and pogs in elementary. Also played the shit out of Pokemon red for gameboy. Hell I'd still probably play red if I had it. Those games were the shit.

All about the raw denim and sick fades bro.

And I don't think Pokemon can be counted as a fad. That shit is still popular.

TY Beenie Babies, now that was a fad.

Last week the wife and I was clearing out parts of our attic
We found over 100 McDonlds TY Beenie Babies still in the boxes and still package in perfect condition, all different kinds
I remember that a freind of my wife daughter worked at McDonlds in 2004 and when the promotion was over they had boxes of Beeniee Babies she gave then to my youngest daughter ... somehow they made it to the attic.

I was working at McDonalds when they first came out. They came in the happy meals and we went from selling 250-300 a day to over 4,500 a day. Some people would order 5 happy meals in the drive thru (throw away most of the food, keep BB....) and get back in line.

We had one person per shift to only answer the phone....and they would simply answer and just say a number (whatever number was being given out)

We would have a lobby full of WOMEN and waiting for us to change the sign saying what number we were giving out....when we changed it they stood up and cheered.

These things were "rare"....but 10,000,000 of each were distributed. I wanted to get a box of these....take them to the roof and dump them into the parking lot and watch the scrum. You had to work it to understand.
