I haven't thought about this since 1996.

[Guest Beastalentier]

I still don't know exactly what this was.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

I used to draw those all the time in like 5th grade. Don't know why, but they were cool.

[Aero 0]

Yeah, everyone used to draw those on their school book covers. Eventually, people were extending them and doing "clever" designs like drawing a jester hat on top.

And no one ever seemed to know what it meant, just that you were a loser if you didn't know how to do it.

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

I thought that was Snoop Dogg's symbol.

YES, OR LINKING THEM INTO CHAINS.

Nothing has changed.

I think the reason I did them was because I was terrible at "bubble writing" or doing all that fancy shit on my books and it was the only "cool" type of design I could do. I saw one of these on a wall a few weeks ago and I wondered if it had been there since the 90s or if kids were still doing it.

[Jericho2000Mark 0]

Yeah, I did those all the time and I too had no idea what it meant. Could you even do a wikipedia page about it? "grade school stylized s"?

[Guest Beastalentier]

Exactly. I had to ask here, because how the fuck do you google it? "s gang sign '90s" was about as helpful as you'd expect.

[Jericho2000Mark 0]

I think you did it wrong. The gaps aren't supposed to be so deep.

[Dandy 0]

I thought it was from a band. Was that not the "S" in some band? It was metal. Scorpions? Nah, I don't think so. Hmm.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

its an S.

 

hmm

Dynamite drop-in, Marv.

I drew it with a paintbrush in Photoshop. Fuck you; let's see YOUR '90s Mystery S, hot shot.

I was thinking some of you must of missed that day in Kindergarten or something..

Well, I'll break the chain here and say that I have no recollection of such symbol.

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0]

The name of my hometown starts with an S and kids would write it out using this thing so I always thought that this was a local invention. This thread is seriously blowing my mind.

I don't recognise it either.

 

My grade 4 thing, which I gave up on in 1996 was: Draw a square, with an X in the centre. Don't lift your pencil off the paper, and don't go over the same line twice.

If anyone figures it out reasonably quickly, I actually started grade 4 in 1997.

[Dandy 0]

Are you suggesting that it would be hard to figure out how to do that?

 

Edit---Nevermind, it is harder than it sounds after experimenting.

You're two years older than I am and started 4th grade two years later? Did you sit out an olympiad due to tuberculosis or something?

What happened to the thread Dandy started? That looked like a hit.

We did that, but with a triangle on top, to make it a house.

Anybody else think that symbol meant Snoop Dogg?

No, I stepped on the plate and I was ruled out on appeal.

[Dandy 0]

It outdated Snoop Dog by several years. I know that I did it in 88 or so on my notebooks.

[Kinetic 0]

It is an act of cowardice to have a thread deleted just because it brings you shame. A real TSMer would relish the opportunity to make a reclamation project of his misguided thread.

If this is correct, it would mean he entered 4th grade (or as they say in Canada "Grade 4") at 13. CG got left back 4 times before hitting his teens?

As his friend, I still have no idea what CanadianGuitarist is trying to say.

 

A video game of some sort?
