4 Things I Miss v.29

(FOUR) REEBOK PUMP
I was fond of the shows that had the light-up heels, but the Reebok Pumps were the shoes I really wanted. They were pretty basic looking shoes, but they had something inside them that made them tighten up a little around the foot when you pump a little basketball on the tongue. For some reason this was supposed to make you play better or something. I never really got the benefit of making shoes that should already fit properly in the first place to fit even tighter. They looked bad ass though.


(THREE) FREINDSHIP BRACELETS
A few simple strands of colorful string intertwined with knots at the end are worn as a fashion symbol. I remember when these were acceptable. I don’t want to wear a friendship bracelet now in 2012 as a 28 year old guy. It would still be cool to know that Saved By The Bell episode with the “buddy bands” isn’t totally out dated…


(TWO) LAZER TAG
I think this expanded into a different area of play. To “play Lazer Tag” you have to wear a helmet and a vest and you get a gun. The whole idea is to shoot a lazer, a REAL lazer!, from your gun at a weird monitor spot on the helmet or the chest. I know they have arcade-like places now where people can do this stuff or something like it, but it’s not the same. It’s sorta “violent” by todays PC standards, but it was a lot of fun.


(ONE) 1970’S ACTION STARS
Action stars today look like models and the action stars of the 80’s looked like body builders. In the 70’s, they looked like sex offenders! Sex offenders who know karate! None of the folks I’m about to praise have done anything of the sorts, but what I’m saying is that they just looked like every day bad ass types. Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, dude from “Hunter”, Fred Williamson, and even Clint Eastwood. These guys looked like mechanics and bikers and fought like men… men who randomly know karate.
