What is the symbol of your chilhood?

[Noceus]

So this is just a random question that poped into my head.

So the question is: What is the symbol of your childhood, what do you identefiy your childhood with?

For me it's probably Lego's, I've spent countless hours playing with those when I was younger.
So what is it for you?

 

[Flailing Escapist]

I can't remember his name but one of our sheep was this old fucker and whenever I tried getting up on the fence to watch the sheep he would always run up and knock me off. What a prick

Legos are right up there tho, what child (in our generation) didn't grow up playing with legos?

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Crippling failure and emotional distress.

Nah, just kidding. Let's see now... Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus, Fairly Odd Parents and Bing and Bong.

Seriously, Bing and Bong are the shit.

 

[manythings]

Batman: The Animated Series from the early 90's. Fucking magnificent.

 

[SilentCom]

I can't really equate my childhood with a symbol but I can describe it with a few words: Simple, happy, meaningful.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

All 90's cartoons, comics, anime and fucking games.

Hell, this is the princple of the 90's cartoons. Loud rock music and violence. Make you wanna crack open a hot can of ass whooping.

I was wrong, there is something that can define my childhood.

Spoiler

It's morphin time!

 

[EternalFacepalm]

Games in general, really. LEGO comes second, though.

 

[the spud]

Scooby Doo, Ed ed and eddy, Zelda, chocolate milk, nacho rings, and Pizza Cats.

 

[Aris Khandr]

If I had to pick just one, I'd go with this.

Though I'm not sure it just symbolizes my childhood, as I'm still as huge a Disney fan as ever.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Happiness.
Something I don't seem to experience alot these days.

 

[AngryNerd]

Oddish,(my favorite pokemon), terriermon, Mario games ect.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Digimon, first season of Pokemon, DragonBall Z, and a bunch of random cartoons like Sailor Moon, Card Captors, SWAT Cats, some old Transformer-ish show where they turned into animal-robots, ummm ... Yu-Gi-Oh, Beyblades, etc.

Harry Potter and Deltora Quest. I started reading them in the second grade/around that time.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Lara croft and Halo: CE. Bare with me on this. Me, dad, older sister used to all play Lara croft on the PS1 together. I barely did anything I just watched. Halo:CE is where me and my dad used to play co-operative and thus why Halo and co-op games hold a special place in me and my dad's hearts.

I suppose lego as well

 

[Kirkby]

Heres one for you: Trees.
Theres probably some deep symbolism that could be contrived from that but simply i used to love climbing trees as a kid. Id spend hours finding them and testing my courage by climbing as high as i would dare. Simple but good honest fun xD

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

I grew up in the golden age of Nickelodeon: Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers...*sigh* They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

 

[PowerC]

Batman: The Animated Series from the early 90's. Fucking magnificent.

right up their with you guy, excellent stuff...

 

[Yokai]

Lord of the Rings. My dad read the books to me when I was eight, just in time for me to see the movies as they came out. I was such a LotR geek it was unbelievable. I still am, to some extent.

And Legos as well, of course. Anyone remember Johnny Thunder, the Indiana Jones knockoff with the mustache? I thought he was such a badass in second grade.

 

[SageRuffin]

Sonic the Hedgehog.

Yeah, I said it.

 

[dslatch]

a pellet gun and a N64.

When the sun was out i shot stuff, and when it wasn't i held a N64 controller.

If I had to pick just one, I'd go with this.

This & reading books in my basement.
