I STILL HAVE A POPPLE. And a carebear poster. And a couple carebears.

I don't remember the seventies, though. I'm 19 days younger than MTV.

Someone who shall remain nameless (*coughERINcough*) asked me what a Popple was the other day.

If I could have reached through the computer and smacked her, I would have.

[lovemykilt]

Clearly, this is technology that needs to be invented.

*googles Popple because I dun know what they are either*

[loverlyviolets]

GROUNDED WITH NO BEER.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

HOW DARE YOU.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Also. We young and grounded ones need a club. And a clubhouse. And a secret handshake. Like the Famous Five.

Except there WILL be beer.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN'T EVEN RIDE THE ROLLER COASTERS YET.

NO BEER.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

CAN TOOOOOOO!

And omg that is NO REASON for taking away our beer. I've been able to buy it since I was younger than the age you had to be, so nyeaah!

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

*does tooooooo*

... but omg I claim British. I have an extra excuse!

[likethegun]

omg I'm going to cry.

[withoutverona]

I had to Google it and I only kindasorta halfway recognize them.

I think I failed my generation.

SHE HAS A FAKE PET NAMED POPPLE.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. I KNOW. I wanted to smack her back into infancy so she could GET HERSELF A POPPLE.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

...What is a popple?

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Omg!

POPPLES!

Seeee!

[lovemykilt]

little fluffy balls of fun that turn inside out into little weird looking fuzzy things with puffballs on their tails!

As I recall, they could pull, like, ANYTHING out of those pouches when they weren't ball shaped. . . .

Fun fact! I used to have a popple that turned into a flower. But I could never get the folding technique right on that one.

I wish I could say I remembered the seventies, but somehow the first 53 days of my life are a wee bit fuzzy.

[lovemykilt]

Man, I hate when that happens.

[the_merriest]

By all reports, I spent the 70s drooling on myself and attempting to chew my own toes.

So ... not all that different, really.

[lovemykilt]

Heh, I've met a few people who could say the same and not be referring to being very wee.

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

I... have tribbles. Actual ones from the original Star Trek set...

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll allow that. A) because that's AWESOME, and B) because re-runs of 60s tv shows were a vital component of growing up in the 80s.

Also in this category: Batman, The Monkees, and numerous incredibly awful Hanna Barbera cartoons.

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved the Monkees and those Hanna Barbera cartoons! Which I didn't see in reruns. ;)
