I loved garbage pail kids!

At the tegan and sara show there was this guy who looked EXACTLY like a garbage pail kid and I was telling Amanda but I don't think she remembered them.

Pogs!! Anyone ever play those? They were huge when I was in the 2nd-4th grade. Man I was awesome! :P I kicked some pog butt. For those who don't know, a pog is basically a little round thick piece of paper with a special design or sticker on it and you stack them up and hit them with a slammer, which is made of metal or plastic. The pogs you turn over with your slammer are the pogs you get to keep! I had sooo many, wow. I was actually packing the other day and I found a big container of my old "collectors" pogs and I just had to keep them. They were mostly Pocahontas and Casper ones :lol:

I remember trading like a whole weeks worth of lunch money for a first series garbage pail kid that had my name on it. When my mom found out..... holy ####### did I get it. PB &J sandwiches for 2 months straight :blush:

I used to love playing DodgeBall in gym. You could really belt it at someone you didn't like. I don't think you're allowed to play that anymore. :lol:

:blink:

Am I the only one who played jumpsies?! :o

I played jumpsies too! I have never heard it called jumpsies before! I was horrible at double dutch, but I could do skip rope and hopskotch. My best friend and I used to play MASH with chalk on her driveway...if only I could remember how to play it! I had a tetherball in my backyard for a long time also! I hated Dodgeball! I played with my hulahoop alot! I can't remember what the darn thing was called but it attached to your ankle and you had to swing it around in a circle and at the other end it counted how many times you hopped around to get thing to go in a circle!
