I guess I didn't grow up in the US in the 80's (meme)
I was born in 1980.
Ones that apply to me are in bold.
You ever ended your sentence with "psych"
You watched the pound puppies
You can sing the rap to "the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylish
You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own. (I'm counting this one even though I just read the books.)
You owned those little Strawberry Shortcake scented dolls
You know what 'Whoa' means from Blossom
Three words: M.C. Hammer
You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales"
If you played the chipmunks Christmas album all year long!
Remember reading Kool-Aid man comics
You ever watched Fraggle Rock
You had plastic streamers on the handle bars of your bike
When it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons
You wore a pony tail to the side of your head
You saw the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen
You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school
You made your mom buy you one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side Well, *I* bought it. And I never wore it.
You played the game "Mash" with friends at school
You wore a Jordache jean jacket and you were proud of it
L.A. GEAR
Your mother wouldn't let you have garbage pail kids
You remember reading "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and all the Ramona books
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off"
You wanted to be a Goonie
You ever wore fluorescent, neon if you will, clothing
You wanted to be on StarSearch
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off.
You took lunch pails to school I always had the coolest ones, because Mama found the plastic ones in the right color, and then put lovely fabric on them in place of the dumb ol' picture.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf
You remember the craze, and then banning of slap bracelets
You still get the urge to use "NOT" at the end of every statement you make

You remember Punky Brewster
You thought She-Ra and He-man should hook up
You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged "friendship bracelets"

After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you couldn't stop saying "I know you are but what am I?"
You remember "I've fallen...and I can't get up!"
You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
You ever got seriously injured on a slip and slide
You know not to mix poprocks and soda
You have played with a 'skip-it'
You had or went to a birthday party at Chuck E.Cheeses with the singing rat and that purple thing "when i say Happy you say Birthday...Happy..Birthday...Happy..Birthday"
Saved by the Bell was one of your favorite shows
You ever sat on or used one knee on a skateboard
You learned oldies songs by watching Alvin and the Chipmunks
You had a Glow Worm
You remember dancing along with the Bangles in "Walk Like An Egyptian"
If you remember Heathcliff the orange cat Very vaguely.
You saw the California Raisins Christmas claymation special
You've gone through this list occasionally saying "That wasn't from the 80's"
You remember Popples
DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY
You wore socks over tights with high-top Reeboks
You wore like 8 pairs of socks at once, scrunched down
ARUBA JAMAICA...OOHH I WANNA TAKE YOU TO BERMUDA BAHAMAS, COME ON PRETTY MAMA KEY LARGO MONTIGO BABY WHY DON'T WE GO DOWN TO KOKOMO Everybody was singing it and I wished they'd just shut up, because it wasn't that good of a song. And they couldn't sing.
You remember boom boxes instead of CD players
You remember watching both "Gremlins" movies

Re: Obviously...
My father did not believe that his family needed TV. Neither did I.
Re: Obviously...
Cable, on the other hand ... :P
[Well, I spose Bryan would turn off his sports every now and again so I could watch Sci-Fi. **giggle** Maybe in a year or so I'll let him get it.]
Re: Obviously...
Marx has a TV.
Re: Obviously...
The Baby does not have a DVD player. She's too old.
