Well its official, the 90s are the new 80s. Time to get back into the 90ular grove by reintroducing your self to... FURBIES



Remember these things? Looking back, these ‘robots’ are a little creepy. Ya know how they would turn on and say some Furbish phrase every time you walked by them? Annoying. They really didnt do anything exciting. Just stood there and yapped.

Wasnt there some kind of back story about them being aliens from another planet? Maybe that was true and this was the plan.


‘All I am is a machine after all’ – Furby


So did they make a real living Furbster?

Well its official, the 90s are the new 80s. Time to get back into the 90ular grove by reintroducing yourself to... The RCP90






Remember these things? Spending long hours after school with the bros in front of the tube, playing ole 007 Goldeneye. Fighting for the clear controllers, rotating the fifth man in, and most importantly, rushing to get that ole RCP90 in the Facility.

Wow, what a gun, what a game, what a system. Those who stumbled upon someone with the RCippy9-0 were in trouble thats for sure.

There even a band named after it.

Were you Goldeneye king of your junior high buds?

Is the RCP90 even real?

Wouldnt be nice if you could just walk over things and they were in your hands like in viddy games?

Well its official, the 90s are the new 80s. Time to get back into the 90ular grove by reintroducing yourself to... YAK BAK




Remember these things? Its amazing how such a simple electronic device could win the hearts of so many children and the Toys’r’us charge of so many parents.

Apparently they took it a lot further than just the ‘Say It’ and ‘Play It’…


In case a girl wants one I guess. Why is it that the girl one that can say “Loser” and “Hate It”

Yak Bak + Giga Pets = Yak Live with “Awesome Graphics!”

Were Talkboys better because of the strategic product placement?

Do you miss slash never got into the Yak Bak craze?

Should I carry a Yak Bak at all times ‘just in case’?

Were Yak Baks a better kids fad than Zanybandz?

Well its official, the 90s are the new 80s. Time to get back into the 90ular grove by reintroducing yourself to... MOUSE BALLS




Remember these things? That little ball was fun fun to play with. But then some potato chip crum would get in there and youd have to clean it out. Dont you miss those days? Spinning the ball with your fingers just for fun…Taking it out and seeing if it bounced...

Not sure if this is real…http://www.mouseballz.com/

Id like to think that this IBM memo from back in the day is real...

"Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit).
Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist-off method.

Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items."

Im sure dog safety advocates rejoiced with the introduction of laser mice:

Do you miss mouse balls?

Are you going to order a 30 pack from mouseballz.com just to stimulate the economy?

Are dogs slash kids more at risk from swallowing a mouse ball or being blinded by a mouse laser?
