As the title says, what's your favorite decade? And why? Got any stories from that time you'd like to share?

 

Mine is the 80's.  It was jut rad.  Teddy Ruxpin, The Goonies, Spaceballs...  I mean we had it all and then some!  We lived in California during this time, we were in LA (I believe) and were walking on a boardwalk on the beach. We had to go through some dance club to get to the other side.  Mirrors and mirror balls everywhere!  To a kid, this was "peak cool".  A guy looked down at me dressed in white dancing.  He seemed so cool to me as a kid lol.  Then it got only cooler on the other side, because there was a robot!  Some stationary robot with a guy controlling it via remote control. But it was like, totally rad. :)

 

Second up is the 90's, but I'll let someone else share their story for that decade!

The 70's.  Went to high school then university.  Had a great girlfriend.  Discovered drinking and sex.  Suppose one lead to the other.

 

Then the 80's.  Great music that I still listen to.  Went to professional school and made the best forever lasting close friends.  Started a family.

 

This decade is great too.  Have young grandchildren.  Saved up a bunch of money and can retire at any time now.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

The 90s!!  All of the Nickelodeon cartoons (Wild Thornberries, Rugrats, Doug, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Kenan and Kel - I was obsessed with all of them!   I will say I'm more of a late 90s, early 2000s person as I love the music too that came then - hook me up with some Backstreet Boys any day.  Also, the clothes were fabulous :D.  Somehow, looking back, everything seemed so much simpler then - of course I was in junior high/ high school at the time so I didn't have to be an adult yet LOL
