🤣🤣🤣 This is so true. I recall seeing episodes of Gilligan's island re-runs with my mom & telling her we were doing that in school. She laughed & said it was something they did too.
My kids have not had that be a fad, they may never know the joy of the odd limbo song being played while everyone lines up for their chance to smack the floor. Looking back on it there was always that special needs kid we all loved that would drop the bar to almost 3", walk around & then lift it back up to just an inch or two below their height. We all cheered them on & loved the smile that beamed from their face when they "broke" the limbo. Good memories. I should reach out to the group homes here to see if he is still around. I see many of them out & about while shooing a few times per year. Their staff are always so quick to yell out, "Stop hugging them!!!" meaning to stop hugging me. Though I always just tell them we are old friends & will often shop with them for 15-20 minutes while my old friends tell me about what is going on in their lives & how much they either like or can't stand the staff member that is walking with us.
Some really good memories friend, thank you for stimulating them.
Thank you. Lol. I still don't see what relevance that has to my OP, unless Island Photo thought I was being low mean) in my comments? Regardless, now I know the comment refers to the limbo.
We all have our own history filled with knowledge learned along the way.
Many of the Elder Pedes had/do not understand tech effectively, where many youth likely do.
There was a meme on here about 8th grade tests a while back (early 1900s IIRC) showing how much our ancestors knew about government & what many would consider complex math today.
Sharing our collective understanding & finding facts we can all confirm has been an amazing unifying part of this movement.
As an anon who recollect the eighties. I gotta say:
As someone who missed the 80s, I don't get what you mean. Also, wow! How in the world did you find such an old post, lol?
It was all the rage in schools in the 80s. Everybody limbo, how low can you go!
80s… LOL… the limbo was from the 1920s or 1930s I think! Resurrected in the 50s and the 80s, and…
