That was 20 years ago. What sort of shenanigans were you into at the time?

Way up yor mudda's ass .
I was shopping for an engagement ring. Best investment I ever made.
Being born
It was the summer between HS and college. What I did that summer is too much for tender LR ears.
Grad school, mutha fvker! I remember running a running club race the morning of the Olympic Marathon.
Going in to senior of high school. Listening to good music like Unwound, Pavement, STP, Punpkins, Soundgarden, KARP, Hot Snakes, No Knife, oh the list goes on.
Putting in hella mileage in the am. Then eating mushrooms, smoking weed, drinking Boons Farm and playing Twisted Metal (2 I think).
At night I was having sex on a trampoline at my friends parents trailer on which they had a dirt bike track around it. Classy shit.
It was an amazing summer.
Oh and I worked at an ice cream parlor
I was 9, so probably playing SNES and watching rented WWF VHS tapes.
Freshy in high school... Whoa
Also, that's the first time I remember the X Games getting a lot of TV coverage. I tuned into that religiously and became a huge poser.
The summer started out running the Olympic Trials but not advancing to the semis.
Later that summer I drove to North Carolina to hang out with this chick at her college.
Then Hurricane Fran hit and we slept in my car through the storm after finding no hotel vacancies.
The next night we did get a room but it didn't go any further than massages.
The next day we were finally about to seal the deal and then she got bothered that I had a condom on me.
The mood was killed and still nothing happened.
I went home staying in the friend zone.
She got knocked up by some guy a year later but it didn't last with that guy.
She eventually married a good guy, had more kids and I keep up with her on Facebook now.
I was 9, so I was being babysat by my grandmother. I watched a lot of tv and ate a lot of oreos that summer.
I was going into college. Running in the heat. The fittest I had been up to the point in my life. And I was smoking a lot of weed dropping acid quite a bit. It was a pretty surreal summer
This was my breakthrough summer, where my training took me from a terrible freshman runner to a sophomore with respectable times.
I would sleep in til 10 am, eat little chocolate donuts, and then run 6 miles or do intervals.
On the radio were such gems as "Tahitian Moon" by Porno for Pyros and "Banditos" by the Refreshments. However, the Macarena also came out this summer, after which 90's music started to go downhill.
Saw red hot chili peppers, beastie boys, rage against machine, smashing pumpkins, foo fighters, sonic youth, beck, biz markie, tribe called quest, fugees, no doubt, bjork at Tibetan Freedom Concert.
I wasn't born yet, but this is a good thread.

I'm upset I do not have that on my list
No I'm more upset I did not think of it.
This was the summer after my junior year of high school. I worked ~50 hours a week in a grocery store and hauling hay. I also ran about 70 mpw. Drank some beer (not a lot), and smoked some weed (not a lot). Dated my first serious girlfriend.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
