		<description>How about year-round traveling club sports teams? I ref at the Y and there is a team of 6th graders who have been playing basketball and football together since kindergarten. Parents take their Middle School students hundreds of miles in a weekend to play in soccer tournaments! (which of course are with the pretense of recieving athletic scholarships - however, students wouldn&#039;t need scholarships if there parents wouldn&#039;t spend so much money on youth sports!) ok, I feel beeter now :)</description>

Donny &amp; Marie
Battlestar Galactica
and I did have a pair of Nike shoes with the red swoosh, only most of us weren&#039;t sure if it was pronounced Nikee or just Nike (no ee sound at the end)
and the first Price Club opened here in 1976</description>

		<description>- Microwave (oven)
- Cordless phones  (i remember my mom had the guinness record for longest chord...I think it it reached around my house twice...i used to make obstacle courses with that thing!)
- Thong underwear (probably can&#039;t use that, but true nonetheless)
- political correctness (i have british friends who told me they don&#039;t use the word &quot;brainstorming&quot; anymore b/c it&#039;s offensive to people with epilepsy...are you serious?  Now they use &quot;mind shower&quot;  Really...I&#039;m not making this stuff up.)
- scientific calculators (only the teachers had &#039;em and they were really expensive)
