I never watched the Carmen Sandiego show, but I used to play the computer game like crazy. When I was in elementary school, me and this other kid were put in an "enrichment" program. I have no idea what the deal with that even was, really, but like once a week or whatever, we'd leave class to play computer games and such, primarily Carmen Sandiego.
That's all you remember from enrichment? I remember days where we wrote detailed instructions on how to make PB&Js and then traded instructions. Someone else had to follow your instructions exactly, which ended up doing things like spreading stuff with your fingers because you never told them to pick up a knife. We also planned our own inventions (but no- we didn't make them) and did a mock trial on umm... umm.. Shoot. Some guy from the Revolutionary period maybe?
Side note, I used to LOVE the Carmen Sandiego computer game. There's something to be said to have to do that using only prior knowledge and encyclopedias. It wouldn't be nearly as much fun with the internet at our fingertips.
haha, this is what ours was like. our mock trial was based on combining a bunch of kids stories...there was a judge and prosecutor/defense, and then characters like old macdonald, and the cow who jumped over the moon, and jack from the beanstalk and stuff.

My memories of elementary school are spotty at best. The only things I remember from TAG in middle school are designing my perfect home (my proportions were hilariously terrible), and briefly following the stock market.
Hahahahaha I remember Computer lit class was writing DOS programming. My group were all nerds, we wrote the whole semesters' work in the first week of school and played Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy the rest of the semester. Peachy Leachy with the flannel was our teacher's nickname given by the class... wow memories.
One of my classes has 3 Kaitlyn's. But we all spell it differently. My way (Kaitlyn), your's, and a hybrid (Caitlyn).
high five for being a (C/K)aitl(i/y)n!!!
I've been keeping a photographic log of all the ways they spell my name at starbucks. including this gem:
My little sister is a Kaitlyn. She was originally going to be called Katie, but my stepmom worked at the health department when she was pregnant, and a whole string of Katie's came in all around the same time, so my parents decided not to use the nickname.
And if you want a name that no one would ever spell correctly, try being a Hilari.
no wonder kids aren't as smart now, they didn't have all these games that taught them actual skills. like math, how to survive on the oregon trail and how to problem solve with lemmings

we did a mock trial for shiloh in the 3rd grade. yes, shiloh the dog.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is a classic.
Also, what was the shitty computer game with the little blue dudes? At some point they cross a bridge? I don't even remember the point of the game I just remember playing it in second grade. Sooooo.... 96-7ish.
Edit: found it. "Logical Journey of the Zoombinis." Anyone recognize this?

I do remember watching Dumbo as a young lad. That was fun to wake up to. I feel like me and the guys here come from such different upbringings. No one has mentioned GI Joe or Transformers yet.

I think that dude's name was Hordac. C'mon, even He-Man's secondary villains were better than that guy. If I wasn't on my phone I'd post a pic of Mer-Man..

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
