the old days. when instead of going to work early in the morning you got up and watched cartoons. or when your parents cooked you dinner instead of eating ramen everynight. kids nowadays just play video games when i remember playing wall ball and 4 square and flying kites. dang things have changed.

is there anything you guys miss about your childhood?

maybe share with us some things you did as a kid that doesn't happen anymore.

Four square was awesome until I moved. I used to play by really simple rules, but here they had all these lame tricks. One of them involved the ball, a throw, and a kid running really, really far after it. Not fun.  That's when I started to play kickball, another super fun 5th grade game.

Also, dodgeball in gym. Now it's like illegal or something, since some kid is going to get owned in the face or something.

And 1990s skiing. I think I skied pre 2000, I was only born in 1992.

i was born in '83 and didnt get a cell phone until my sophmore year in college (2002-2003)  When i was in High school and needed a ride home after sports i would call collect, and when the operator asked your name i would say "mom come pick me up"  then she would deny charges and come get me.  I thought it was the smartest thing ever

catdog rocket power (didnt sam ski blade? wtf is that shit?), and rocko's modern life, that show was basically the dopest shit ever
also, angry beavers=best fucking show that has been on television, hey arnold was legit too
so was Edd, Ed, and Eddy, but they still show that on rare special occasions.

being a little kid rocked, absolutely fucking nothing mattered back then, you could poop your pants and just be like "whats up now bitch?"
super soakers and nerf balls were the shit so were nerf guns... except we still play with nerf guns all the time on campus for some reason?

I miss the days on NS when you could say just about anything and not have to fear getting banned. Oh yeah, that was only a year ago. The new mods are just ban-whores.
