5. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

Me and Dorton were talking about that oneday on the way home from work. Kids today are missing out! I remember getting up early saturday mornin eating cereal and watching what seem like hours of cartoons on every channel. I guess everything changes though!

Henry has died if dysentery.

I'm Not sure what the mash game is. Some of em seemed gender specific. Such as # 36 , # 8 and # 6. Well for the most part they were. Just about all the others hit the nail on the head for me.

Yeah the MASH game didn't ring a bell with me either.

I remember the MGM cartoons. Seems like little rascals would come on to. It was like weekday at 3:30 all Saturday morning it seemed. I believe Saved by the bell killed the Sat morning and the 3:30 cartoons.

It was that fortune teller game little girls played. Remember? Folded-up paper, a series of questions about colors and numbers and stuff, and the answer was supposed to be your fate. At my school, M stood for mansion, A for attic, S for shack and H for house.

I remember little folded up paper thingies, but not those letters on them...
Are you talking about the origami-like folded things?

**Jonie** · October 16th, 2007, 10:23 PM

At my school, there wasn't any letter designation, just who you would marry and how many kids you would have.

I think I was going to have about 50 kids [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

32. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

just to let everyone know SHOT THROUGH THE HEART is not the song YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME. Shot Through The Heart is a song off the first cd, You Give Love A Bad Name is off of Slippery When Wet. 2 different songs.
