10. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars... and "spokey-dokes" or playing cards on your spokes for that incredible sound effect. Did that in the 70s, and it was hardly original then.

12. When it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. It was in the 70s at least...stopped watching Saturday morning cartoons before I entered high school.

18. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it. Never really saw the point of paying premium prices for designer labels...

19. L.A. Gear... need I say more. Similar issue..

22. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF". Yep

25. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted. I remember when MJ was a little black boy singing with his brothers, long before mutating into a middle-aged white woman...

26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf. Was too nauseated by that show to stick with it long enough to ponder that...

27. You took lunch boxes to school... and traded Garbage Pail Kids in the schoolyard. Took a lunch box in elementary school in the 70s...didn't have Garbage Pail Kids then.

36. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up" That one still pops up in my head sometimes...

37. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates. :yes:

38. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide. Played on them, never injured on one.

43. "Don't worry, be happy" remember it...

47. You remember boom boxes. and walking around with one on your shoulder like you were all that. Remember them, but never had the urge to lug one around on my shoulder...

48. You remember watching both "Gremlins" movies. :yes:in the theatre. Great flicks!

51. You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot. And she still is :blush:

52. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. :thumbs:

53. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool... and don't even flinch when people refer to them as "NKOTB". They were cool? :unsure:

59. You remember when mullets were cool! They were cool? :unsure:

64. You remember "Where's the Beef?" :yes:

Just want to say I'm listening to Shot Through the Heart right now.

I saw Bon Jovi in Newark like two weeks ago!

I love that the 80s styles have come back with the teenagers :) I feel an alternating sense of pride and horror.

Probably how my mom felt when I walked around in tie dye and peace stuff in the 80s!

I never grew out of that stuff. From the 80's to my Doors and Jam Bands stage to marrying a Jamaican......tie dye just belongs.

Okay... I KNOW i know #17.. the M.A.S.H game... but for the LIFE OF ME.. i cant remember... :blink:

And I was JUST thinking of #30 the other day... how funny :thumbs::whistle:

But to anyone younger than 30, MASH is a game that determined our future – where we'd live and in what kinds of houses, what occupations we'd have, what cars we'd drive, and most importantly, what cootie-ridden members of the opposite sex our friends teased us about for the next year.

MASH typically stood for "Mansion – Apartment – Shack – House," though I've heard slight variations. The idea was to have four choices in each category--one wonderful, one tolerable, one awful, and one preferable. Let's say you had five letters in your name, or your birthday was the fifth, or you cheated by placing every bad option in every fifth place. You'd cross off every fifth choice until you were left with one option in each category, which you were then contractually obligated to pursue. Each one of us, at some point, was expecting to be a doctor living in a mansion in Paris with a Lamborghini in the garage. All cootie-ridden members of the opposite sex were equally wonderful and frightening.
