| 2713 | Article | Vaporman87 | Very nice. I totally empathize with you regarding your thoughts and feelings of the season. It comes and goes way too quickly, and our door to simpler, carefree times closes long before we're ready. I typically feel this same way about Fair Week. Much like Halloween (even more so in my case), it is a week long trip back in time. I walk the grounds constantly recalling my feelings and memories of my childhood... my dread of the coming school year, balanced with a bit of excitement that I'll get to hang with my friends again. The search for that girl I had a crush on - hoping to catch a glimpse of her in a less controlled environment like school. The fun of riding the rides and the camaraderie of daring to experience them together with your buddy. All of that comes flooding back to me when Fair Week comes. Halloween gives me similar feelings, though the actual event provides me far fewer days of memories, since it is one night of the year. But leading up to the event, there is still plenty to recall and revel in. So breathe it all in. Stop and just reminisce any chance you get. I know you will. | Sep 24, 2015 |  | |
| 2712 | Article | echidna64 | Great read onipar, thank you for sharing your memories and precious photos from your childhood! By the way, you totally look like Fred Savage in that one picture with your brother! | Forever Living in Halloween | Sep 24, 2015 | |
| 2711 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's a great story. It's always nice to hear of places opening up that try very hard to recapture the magic of a golden era. I wish them all the success in the world. In a place like Jacksonville there should be no shortage of customers, but around these parts such a place would probably have difficulty surviving. | Rescued By A Fistful of Quarters | Sep 24, 2015 | |
| 2710 | Article | jkatz | A bit later in the decade, but I remember frosted tips being a thing. Speaking of fanny packs, a few weeks ago I saw a lady wearing a "Baywatch at Seaworld" one. I wish I offered to buy it off her! | 5 Fads of the 90's | Sep 24, 2015 | |
| 2709 | Article | pikachulover | Funny I was just thinking about laser pointers a few days ago. My professor had one she let somebody in the class use it as a prop for a skit we had to perform in class. Talk about fads! I had a fanny pack that came with special pockets for troll dolls and it came with a troll. I had a few others too. Although I don't remember using them besides the troll one to hold my other trolls. I didn't really get into pogs until my neighbor did. I would always lose to her because she had this Nala bootleg slammer that thing was so heavy! My parents refused to buy me an adequate slammer. I loved rollerblading or inline skating.I got rid of my old small skates years ago. I was really thinking of getting myself another pair and taking it up again. | 5 Fads of the 90's | Sep 23, 2015 | |
| 2708 | Article | massreality | I loved the Silk Stockings theme song, and totally forgot how rockin ER's was! | TV Theme Songs I Loved, But Never Cared For The Show | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 2707 | Article | Caps 2.0 | Me and my brother still have a laser pointer that we use for our cats. It's fun to play with them that way. As for fanny packs, I still regularly use them when I go on major trips, like whenever we go to Walt Disney World. I also wore one to Chiller Theatre last year, and I'll be wearing it when I attend again this year as well. I do what I feel most comfortable with. For example, it's why I still refer to things as cool when most everybody else is now saying chill instead. | 5 Fads of the 90's | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 2706 | Article | Vaporman87 | Whatever the cause for creating it, I have a feeling it will strike a cord with others who are "in the closet" on their appreciation for intro music of shows they dislike. :) | TV Theme Songs I Loved, But Never Cared For The Show | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 2705 | Article | comic_book_fan | this article was a form of therapy i had to make it but almost wished i hadn't when i did | TV Theme Songs I Loved, But Never Cared For The Show | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 2704 | Article | Vaporman87 | The laser pointers and fanny packs are easily the worst offenders of this list, with special recognition as a REAL problem going to laser pointers. I'm so glad that, although they are still around, nobody seems interested in annoying others with them any more. On the subject of skating, I too made attempts at rollerblading, but since the home I lived at during the time had very little concrete to use, I resorted to using my blades for miniature hockey matches with my brother, some sticks, a puck, and a goal. I didn't enjoy it nearly like I did the skating rink. But then again I think much of that has to do with the sense of community at the skating rink. I recently caught a glimpse at what will surely be the next wave of skating-related hooplah: <img src="/images/postImages/1442943899Strap On Skates.png"> Cruisers, by the Cardiff Skate Company. I saw these on an end cap of the toy and sport section at Target. Will they be the next big thing? | 5 Fads of the 90's | Sep 22, 2015 | |
