Tired of Lukewarm Christianity?

Geez, I had every intention of venting my hatred for the TTC and bitching about how twice this week it's taken an hour and 40 minutes to get to work, but I opened my Email and found a silly "Are you a child of the 90's?" poll from Erik and got all nostalgic and forgot about my ball of anger. Thanks Erik, who sadly (?) only got 7/51 of the references. Although I'm really a child of the 80's, my teenage years are much easier to remember. (And I was a big pop culture geek)

You are a child of the early 90s if...
1.) You know who Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello are.
And the Garbage Pail Kids.
2.) You owned a pair of SKID-Z.
I was never a shoe person.
3.) You religiously watched 90210, Melrose Place, Party of Five, and My So-Called Life.
All four religiously baby!
4.) You tight-rolled your jeans.
Ewe - yes, with saftey pins too.
5.) You wore big hoop earrings.
Most of my earrings were big coloured cats.
6.) You thought bellbottoms were horrible and couldn't understand why anyone would've ever worn them.
Sadly yes.
7.) You watched Dial MTV, and remember who Nelson, Slaughter, Warrant, and Winger were.
I'm Canadian, so it was all about MuchMusic, but I do remember the above cock-rockers.
8.) You knew how to do the dances called the MC Hammer, the Roger Rabbit,and the running man.
Sure I do, but i'm not offering a demonstration.
9.) You owned a pair of K-Swiss, Keds, or Air Jordans.
Again with the shoes!
10.) You thought "Ice Ice Baby" was the coolest song ever, and when your parents told you Vanilla Ice would be a shot in the pan, you refused to believe them.
Robert VanWinkle was a god!
11.) You remember when they played "I'm Proud to be an American" every 15 minutes during the Gulf War.
Again, Canadian.
12.) Your bangs were at least 4 inches high, and you thought it looked good.
And they were stiffer than a gay man on Church street. (Sorry mom!)
13.) A hairdryer was required to set your hair.
Well, just the bangs!
14.) You rolled up the sleeves of your t-shirts, and tucked in the front, letting the back hang out.
Only when I did the MC Hammer.
15.) You had any "No Fear" or "B.U.M." clothing.
I wear B.U.M. now. Does that count?
16.) You wore 2 pairs of neon colored socks.
How about an entire outfit in neon?
17.) You wore overalls with only one side connected.
Jump around. Jump, jump around.
18.) You had Electric Youth perfume.
Exclaimation!
19.) You remember when cartoons were actually GOOD, and not scary like the Teletubbies.
I miss the good old days of Gummi Bears, Rainbow Brite and Muppet Babies.
20.) You loved to slow dance to Power Ballads.
On the rare occasion someone would ask me.
21.) You had a "snap bracelet".
'Cause violence and jewellry always go hand-in-hand...
22.) You wore your sweatpants pulled up to your knees.
Sweatpants in public? Are you crazy?
23.) You had a black Debbie Gibson hat.
No, but that was the 80's.
24.) You wanted to be just like Paula Abdul.
Straight up!
25.) You know the words to "The Humpty Dance".
"Alright stop what you're doing, cause i'm about to ruin the image and the style that you're used to..."
26.) You owned the Bell Biv DeVoe tape.
And Boys II Men.
27.) You said, "SIKE!" or "WAY!"
I never used slang! (SIKE!)
28.) You saw "Wayne's World" at least 2 times at the theater.
Who doesn't love Mike Meyers?
29.) You loved the New Kids (and Joey was probably your favorite.)
You know me too well, but Jordan's my favorite now.
30.) You wore jeans pulled up to your navel.
Huh?
31.) All of your clothes were "baggy".
This one sort of contradicts the pulled up jeans and biker shorts, doesn't it?
32.) You owned a pair of biker shorts.
Several, but I only wore them with baggy t-shirts.
33.) You wore "water shoes" into the pool.
I just bought my first pair this summer...
34.) You had a boom box, or your stereo was a weird color like pink.
Mine was hot pink with shimmering purple speakers!
35.) You bought tapes instead of CDs.
Only until I could afford CD's!
36.) You never missed "Fresh Prince".
NEVER EVER.
37.) You or someone you knew who wore "Cross-Colors" clothing.
I think they were probably too cool for small town Napanee.
38.) You remember when TLC weren't divas, and they dressed like they were in the circus.
Aren't they related to the Ringling Brothers?
39.) You thought "I'm Too Sexy" was such a cool song.
AND I used it in my first Super8 film at York U.
40.) You "busted a move" while C&C Music Factory was playing.
And I still do.
41.) You remember when Mark Wahlberg was part of "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch".
AND made a fad out of exposing his underwear...
42.) You owned a silk shirt, which you tucked into your jeans.
Peach, turquoise, red.....
43.) You had jeans in various colors, like green, brown, black...
My favorites were my purple jeans and my turquoise/white striped "Fame" jeans.
44.) You had a "Button Your Fly" t-shirt.
No one advertises on my tits.
45.) You had a Ren and Stimpy t-shirt.
See above.
46.) You thought long-haired heavy metal bands would never go out of style.
No, but Steve and Bridget did/still do.
47.) You were addicted to Nintendo.
I never couldn't get past world 2-1 on Super Mario Brothers without the help of my brother.
48.) There were multiple rubber bands on your pony tail.
Nearly put my eye out!
49.) You gave the "peace" sign all the time.
Only because the New Kids did it.
50.) You loved Beavis and Butthead.
"I am the great Corn-holio! I need TP for my bung hole! Nyaaaaaa!"
51.) You wore clear "jelly shoes" with neon socks underneath.
The shoes were pink, but the nuclear socks underneath still glowed through.
52.) If you were a guy, you had your hair shaved underneath and you parted it down the middle. Not a guy (the last time i checked).

Boy I miss the 90's.
