Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo Tasted rank

Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken. I had a few

You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby". Unforatantly

You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It". I wanted his chair!

You had one of those T-shirts that changed colour with
heat(GlobalHypercolour). I had a few of them, can't remeber the colours though

You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and He-Man got cancelled. :(

You wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can call it clothing!) Base ball Cap in day glow yellow, and socks

You could break dance (ok, you wished you could) Wished I could

You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system. And it still is :D

You remember M.C. Hammer. Can't touch this...

You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".... Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your aunt and uncle in Bel-Air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air


You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The fresh Prince and NOT just
plain Will Smith! Still watch them

You own any cassettes. Have loads of them, somewhere

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ALF or ET lunchbox. ET

You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. Nope

My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you. Gummy bears, bounceing every where

You had a Swatch Watch. Swatch Flick Flack

Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go. I still have my first BMX

With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang to Kylie and Jason! Blue

You owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines. Micro Machines

You knew that Transformers were "more than meets the eye". a long with everyone else

You said "bright light, bright light" in a strange high-pitched voice. Still say it

You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits
of Matt & Luke. Didn't Like bros

Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your
wardrobe or make-up collection. Banana Yellow

You remember watching a house inhabited by a jester, a pantomime horse and a
woman who sneezed, and thinking that this was perfectly normal. Rentaghoast?

You had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up. :D

You hid behind the sofa whenever you heard the word "Exterminate!". I didn't

Ooh, you could crush a grape! :-?

You held a chicken in the air or stuck a deckchair up your nose. :-?

Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you were jealous. I had the sode Stream

Any elderly Scottish lady sounds like Supergran :D

You remember playing British Bulldog, When 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and
Donkey-Kong ruled I can just remember how to play it

You remember hearing the tune then running out to buy an ice cream cone on a
warm summer night - 99's, screwballs or a cider lolly. Ahhh Screw Balls

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Still are

Important decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." Isn't that how all decisions are made?

She was sent to the smurf village by Gargamel as a means of destroying the smurfs by making them all dispute over who was gonna marry her and end up fighting each other. But the over whelming kindness of the smurfs stopped her being used for evil means :rolleyes:
