The Nostalgia Hall of Fame

Nostalgia in Hall of Fame form

  • The Nostalgia HOF

    There are halls of fames for everything nowadays. You got the obvious ones: Rock & Roll HOF, Baseball HOF. You have the ones no one seem's to care about like The Rockabilly Hall of Fame, or the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame (Actually exists). But there's not one Hall of Fame that everyone cares about. There are non-sports fans that could care less who's getting in the Baseball or Football Halls of Fame. There are people that aren't into current entertainment that don't care about who's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the one Hall of Fame we all could relate to is missing. The Nostalgia Hall of Fame. Things change from childhood to adulthood, but there are always things that remind us of childhood or our teenage lives. We might see an old book in the library and think "Hey, I remember reading that book in 5th grade." There might be an old toy at a yard sale or on the E-bay that reminds us how we played with it non-stop a long, long time ago. So why is there no Hall of Fame for all the old stuff we like? Well now there is. Kinda. I'm not ambitious enough to build a giant building and officially induct things and give them plaques and crap. But as a blogger I can do my duty. After all, in 10 or 20 years when the new cool thing on the internet is something totally different, blogging will be nostalgic. There are several categories that something can get inducted for including: Toys, Movies, Cartoons, TV Shows, Sports, Music, Video games, Quotes and more. Nostalgia will be inducted in an at least 10 years old basis, so anything before 1998 is fair game.

Cartoon/Video Game Valentine’s Day Cards

Posted by Josh on May 18, 2008

Cartoon/Video Game Valentine’s Day Cards
Hall of Fame Category: Other
Remember those Valentine’s Day parties in elementary school? When you had to give everyone in class a Valentine’s Day card? You’d make those big heart shaped envelopes and tape them to your desk and you’d go around and drop corny little V-day cards in, even to those of the same gender, which was kinda weird. Most people bought these for that special occasion. They had Ninja Turtles, Zelda, Scooby Doo, Super Mario Brothers, even the California raisens… because what kid wasn’t into the California Raisens? Not only did you have enough Valentine’s day cards to send to the whole class, you even had a few left over to keep for yourself or dump in the heart-envelope of the person you had a crush on. But then you still had to explain why you asked a classmate of the same gender to be your Valentine…
