My mom and my grandma built a set of monkey bars in the back playset a real long while ago, and I actually *gasp* went on them.

Then we moved, and only recently have we rebuilt a set of monkey bars.

I don't go on them, not only because I can walk across instead of swinging, but because they're wood and they hurt my hands. ;~;

I do continue to swim in the backyard pool, though. :D
 
is it bad that I remember more from the UK version than the one from the continent I'm from?

Plus I was raised on Final Fantasy and Pokemon so I don't remember most western cartoons. ^ ^;
 
90's rox!! I remember almost everything on that first list (and some on the second)!!
I didn't think anyone besides me would remember POGs!
Although, I am kind of insulted that Beast Wars wasn't on the list. Plus, let's not forget the anime! Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and what most of my 90's life was devoted to... DIGIMON (before season 3)!!!!!!!
