You're an 80's child if...

You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.

You wanted to be on Star Search. (Come on, we all did)

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off.

You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth.

You wore French rolls on the bottom of your splatter painted jeans.

You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once.

You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's butt.

You know the profound meaning of ''Wax on, Wax off.''

You can name at least half of the members of the elite ''Brat Pack.''

You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.

You know that another name for a keyboard is a ''Synthesizer.''

You hold a special place in your heart for ''Back to the Future.''

You know where to go if you ''Wanna go where everybody knows your name.''

You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an 80's movie she WASN'T in?)

You know what ''Sike'' means.

You fell victim to 80's fashion: big hair, crimped, combed over to the side, and you wore spandex pants

You wanted to be a Goonie - (hey u guyz!!)

You owned an extensive collection of Cabbage Patch Kids and trolls.

You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played ''Sam'' to be.

You ever wore fluorescent -neon if you will clothing...(or nail polish)

You could break dance, or wished you could. (I said hip hop....)

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. (Remember Pong)

You know all the words to ''Ice Ice Baby''.

You remember MC hammer well.

You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"

You own any cassettes.

You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon.

You remember and/or own any of the CareBear Glass collection from PizzaHut.

Poltergeist freaked you out.

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunchbox.

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.

You wanted to communicate with some being named Cinergy.

You wanted to have an alien like Alf living in your house.

You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish.

You wore tights under shorts and felt stylish.

You ever had a Swatch Watch.

You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the care-bear stare.

You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.

You had Wonder Woman or Superman underwear.

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

You Believed that ''By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power''

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.

Partying ''like it's 1999'' seemed SO far away!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid that you're lumping a bit much into one mere question/decade! :lol:

Guess what I mean is, some of the things you listed make me grin and miss it all so, and others (NKOB, Vanilla Ice) make me want to absolutely puke :hurl: - I was a bit above that particular age group! :animwink:

I adore BTTF and can name the Brat Pack, BTW ...and LOVE St Elmo's Fire! :D

I was born in the 70´s but it was on the 80´s when I started to take decisions (not my mom´s), so I can relate to many of those! Specially those related to fashion! :lol: Neon clothing, the banana hair clips, "goomies", lykras under mini skirts (I wish I had a scanner!)..... :lol: :animwink:

Who remembers?

Ocean Pacific, That silly surfer hair. And most importantly Van Halen wasn't a buch of old guys with ear plugs. If I had the 80's to do over I would remember 3 things

1. Invent the Internet ( Beat Al Gore to the Chase )
2. Kill the designer of Z Cavarichi (SP) Sorry
3. Stop Grunge before it starts :)

What are your favorite 80's memories? Mine would be some of the wonderful cinema that was born in the 80's. Molly Ringwald eat your heart out.

Fast Times
Breakfast Club
and the ever shocking Nightmare on Elm Street Saga... How many parts were there to that movie anyway?
And we must never forget the comic stlyings of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. DUDE!!!!!

OH GOD MY FIRST VCR WAS BETA...... Getting Old I guess!

Yes, those wonderful movies featuring state of the art special effects and riveting plot twists - I remember them fondly! :D

:rolleyes: You have to sort of wonder about a series that actually has a movie where the cast plays themselves outside of the movie being terrorized by the fictional character from the movie that they made in the movie you are watching… Or something like that. :lookaroun
