(FOUR) FILA SHOES
I’m 99% sure FILA shoes are still in stores. It’s just not the same. No one cares about FILA anymore. Back in the 90’s I was PROUD of my “Jamal Mashburns”. We had FILA, Rebox, Nike and Adidas. I don’t even know what shoes are out there now a days.
(THREE) CELEBRATION STATION
Apparently certain parts of the country still have a Celebration Station. They used to have on in Northwest Indiana, but it just disappeared. This place was magic. It was WAY better than a stupid Chuck E. Cheese. We had a crazy awesome arcade, mini golf, go carts, singing mechanical animals, and pizza. I’m sure as a kid it seemed much bigger than it really was. I miss it and would want to go back, but I’d probably be disappointed.
(TWO) KICK BALL
I read that in some areas they have adult kick ball leagues now. That’s stupid. Kickball is not a sport that should be played in leagues or any organized function. It should always be a one-off pick-up game scenario. I’d get picked towards the end, if not last in most cases but I think it was because they were intimidated by me. Yeah… that’s it. Point being, kick ball IS American soccer. It’s baseball rules that involve kicking a big red rubber ball.
(ONE) MICHAEL JACKSON JOKES
I never really liked the Michael Jackson jokes from back in the day. I was always a fan and felt like people were beating a dead horse. It was an easy joke topic and people had no problem with being overly tasteless about him. Seriously. I’ve heard some really nice people tell some REALLY dirty jokes about Michael Jackson. It was a bit too much. Then he died and everyone stopped. There were some hush-hush jokes about his death but I miss the old tasteless jokes about him.
