I wasn’t planning on posting today until I came across this photo on Ragamuffin Soul. I thought it might be nice to have a little caption contest of our own. PS – That’s Carlos doing 10 seconds of zany for the very first time with me, my giant head, and an 11-year-old DJ looking on in adoration.

Here are ten more things that I’m willing to bet you haven’t thought of in ten years:
1. Lunchables – I can’t be certain, but these may have been the primary ticket to my second-tier popularity throughout school. I shudder to think where I would have been without them.
2. Dittos – Copies before copies were mainstream, circa 1988. I’ll never forget the smudgy, purple text, and the smell of a teacher who had just spent her lunch break in front of that machine.
3. Five Alive – A distant cousin of orange juice. A smarter, cooler, more popular cousin, I might add.
4. Grandmama – Unfortunately for Larry Johnson, this is what he’ll always be known for.
5. Book It – Who could forget Pizza Hut’s infamous reading program? Read (or write down that you read) a certain amount during the week and you’d score a free personal pan pizza and a button, which I’m certain I wore to school.
6. Blue Sportscenter Intro – Arguably the greatest and most aesthetically-pleasing set in Sportscenter history. I can’t find a clip of it anywhere.
7. Bo Knows – Somehow, I think this ad campaign is making a comeback. Seriously.
8. Mullet Humor – This was easily my favorite and most-frequented website in college.
9. Ren and Stimpy – Not only did I watch this show on Nickelodeon way past when I should have, but I proudly sported a R&S hat well into middle school.
10. George H.W. Bush – Remember that guy? Wasn’t he president at some point?
What are some things you bet the rest of us haven’t thought of in ten years?
