Official derps cool factor

Wait.

You're japf?

Ha.....boy are you wrong BK....

I actually only said yes to 2 of those.

1,5,6,and 7. Of course, I grew up on a farm so Big Wheels and Stretch Armstrong weren't happening. Bales of hay and teats were my toys. For Christmas when I was 13 I got a pair of deerskin "thinsulate" gloves. First sugar cereal I ever had was college. Okay, I had a Dokken tape. Wore a skinny tie with converse in high school.

edit on 10: Yeah, I was happy to get Fleet Farm orange slices.

1) catfish. it was a mofo
2) all three
3) Cap't
4) Motorcycle
5) penthouse forum
6) nope
7) I had a space invader bike
8) never had a big wheel
9) nope
10) nope, but little debbie brownies were a treat sometimes

2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 = Not Cool

Hostess needs you back in a baaaad way.

2,4,5,6.

With a diabetic little bro, Hostess snacks left the C-Boy family pretty, pretty, pretty early.

Gross. Farm and Fleet's orange slices were far superior.

Pffft. You are obviously NOT a connoisseur of man mall confections.

We are not going to let this thread fall into the mire of another "Fleet Farm vs Farm Fleet*" debate. Another person crosses that line and this thread will be locked up like the last 20 covering the topic.

I hope this is clear to everyone.

*Fleet Farm is obviously better

11. Was an enthusiastic Altarboy

Still waiting on that egg nog episode at pre-Christmas.

Not even Derps thinks I'm cool.

2 yes, 8 no. derps cool I ain't.
like Henry, never had mainline sugar cereals until college... and now my kids are eating them all the time.

5, 6, 10, and Ratpack's 11. Those are the only one's that really matter. And by the way, 10 needs to include the Banana Flip.

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10.

Cool never seemed so depressing.

1, 2(x3 SCORE!), 4, 5, , 6, 7, 10

Rarely sugar cereals were seen in the house. Corn pops were as decadent as we got on that end.

Big Wheels? We ran over big wheels with tractors and three-wheelers.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary: COOL a : very good : excellent; also : all right b : fashionable, hip = Dave in MN.

'nuff said.

I was busy master aging.

Ain't that the truth.

My personal childhood cool was ice fishing at Onalaska on the Missipissi and not falling in.

(BTW, #1 yes- 10 lb Walleye @ Lake Eau Claire.)

How could you see Jeans frayed if they're rolled up? We'd cut 'em off before we'd roll 'em up. DUH

You were probably ecstatic when Capri pants were invented then!

I've got 12 years on you so here is my input.

Ice fishing on the Mississippi - Yes that would be great to do again for about 10 minutes. I recall this near Chut's landing in La Crosse

Nobody has added burning ants on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass or is that just me?

My brother used to enjoy pouring water down gopher holes then chasing them with a baseball bat


Regarding the list:

1. Caught any fish bigger than 10 lbs by age 10
No luck for me here I think I caught a large Bass once and I still have the lure

2. At some point between age 16-22 owned a Dokken, Ratt or Cinderllea tape
I have no clue what these are and don’t care

3. Favorite cereals were either Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms or Choco Pebbles
Crunch was great - I think it was just invented when I was 10

4. Owned a Evil Knievel motorcycle or a Stretch Armstrong
Matchbox cars ruled for me, and I had a couple metal tonka trucks

5. Hid Playboy or Hustler mags somewhere in your room from ages 13-16
Don’t most people still do this?

6. Rolled up your jeans
I wore the husky size – bell bottoms didn't stay up well.

7. Played either Punch Out, Galaga, Dragons Lair or Gorf sometime in the 80s
Played LoadRuner on apple IIe

8. Went through 3+ Big Wheels as a kid
Only had metal trikes with rusted sharp edges

9. Was on Romper Room
Watched Bozo but not sure why

10. Ate a Hostess product(Twinkie, Ho Ho, Ding Ding, etc) at least once a week your senior year in highschool.

They invented serving hot-dogs and fries from vending machines to eliminate the high-paid cafeteria jobs.

Zuf,

I live 3 blocks from Chut's Landing. Was there a landing there before? There are just docks for people now. I usually put the boat in over on 7th St.

There used to be metal steps leading from a parking area at the end of 15th street down to the docks.

I was actually born in a house on 15th street but we moved from that area when I was 5.

We live near A & W and Pizza King, which is on 16th St. I am going to take the boat out and fish for some walleyes next week.

#13 on the list. - Watched Hulk Hogan perform wrestling moves instead of porn moves.
