I bet I still have some pogs somewhere in my parents house. Anyone want to meet up and slam?
.............. ha ha.......ha....
I'll bring my New Orleans Saints board and my personalized slammer. Then to really complete the trip down memory lane I'll fight you if you get my good pogs.
I'm more a child of the 80's, and when I was in fourth grade, this was what it was all about...
my sister had one of those. It remains one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. I thought that, then, and I still do now. WTF was the purpose of it? It was like a Swiss Army necklace of useless junk.
They gave Legos a run for their money in my house, specifically because you could make awesome, futuristic toy guns out of them. I remember spending hours and hours trying to make one of the E-11 blaster rifles that the Storm Troopers used. Never could get it quite right.

Charm bracelets, duh! They're still around, but you get them from Tiffanys for $200 now.
We used to just play that paper triangle football game at school.
That totally got banned at my school, because we were playing it too much.
Also, when I was in high school, our PE department experimented with some different kinds of classes, and one of them was simply "Card Games" (some PE, huh?) Anyway, they taught us a whole bunch of different games including Euchre and 500. Both games became super popular, with kids playing them at lunch, in study hall, and even in class. The administration finally cracked down and banned them, so we just went underground. People made tiny little decks of cards out of notebook paper, and we'd play furtively in the library behind shelves of books. Some teachers were even in on it. The chem teacher didn't care about the ban, and let students go into his back room and play cards as long as they were quiet. The band teacher did the same thing. Very secretive stuff!
Seems pretty funny looking back.

Loved those, still have them at the parents house. Its true, they didnt throw away all of my childhood yet. They kept the crap I didnt care about but got rid of all of my He-Man characters and Castle Greyskull. Effers.
