From numerous other blogs I visit I have been reminded of many, oh so many, things I enjoyed when I was little. Okay, just two things. Just thought I'd share, and really, who doesn't love a stroll down old memory lane?!
Tell me please that you remember classic Sesame Street:
Teeny Little Super Guy??!!
"Ya can't tell a hero by his size, I'm just a teeny little super guy."
I can remember that part of the song from 2 decades ago, and yet I can barely tell you what day of the week it is. Hmm, go figure.
Watch this:
Oregon Trail? Apples Computer, everything typed on the screen comin' up green? Favorite day in elementary.
I love the game description:
Try taking a journey by covered wagon across 2000 miles of plains, rivers, and mountains. Try! On the plains, will you slosh your oxen through mud and water-filled ruts or will you plod through dust six inches deep?
How will you cross the rivers? If you have money, you might take a ferry (if there is a ferry). Or, you can ford the river and hope you and your wagon aren't swallowed alive!
What about supplies? Well, if you're low on food you can hunt. You might get a buffalo... you might. And there are bear in the mountains.
If for some reason you don't survive -- your wagon burns, or thieves steal your oxen, or you run out of provisions, or you die of cholera -- don't give up! Try again... and again... until your name is up with the others on The Oregon Trail Top Ten.

Sigh, I don't think I ever was in the top ten.
Ahh...see now, wasn't that fun?

Ok...I loved Oregon Trail in elementary!...and now I feel slightly old. This is a new feeling for me. Hmmmm
i SO remember that little guy!! Oh my goodness!! that is so funny! i LOVED him
I miss Oregon Trail so so so much. Alas, I didn't watch Sesame Street . . . I liked X-Men, Batman, Arthur, and Wishbone.
Your're making me feel old....I'm pretty sure I was busy potty training someone when Oregon Trail came out....I had never even heard of it until Fig extolled it's virtues in a blog post.....idk the little guy, do you remember Mr. Hooper? What about The Electric Company?
Thanks again, I rarely feel old, but you managed to do that....Good job, Fab...have you been talking to my kids? ;)
Yes, I remember Teeny Little Super Guy, but I don't remember him doing anything super. I also recently took a stroll down memory lane and found a bunch of Muppet Show sketches that I love. Manamanah.
I remember it all! Oregon trail rocked! I wonder if you can get it for the modern PC?.... Need to look into that!
I loved the Oregon trail game!!!
Oregon trail rocks! I can't say I remember the little super guy though.
