You know you grew up
in the 80s when... |
 You know
the profound meaning of "wax on, wax off". |
 You know
who Mr. T and fat Albert are and can remember Michael Jackson when
he was black. |
| You ever
wore fluorescent, neon clothing and/or wore a banana clip at some
point during your youth. |
| You could
breakdance, or wish you could. |
| You wanted
to be the Hulk or Princess Leia for Halloween. |
| You
believed that "By the power of Greyskull", you had the power. |
| Partying
"like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. |
| You
remember the "Garbage Pail kids" and maybe owned some. |
| You knew
what Willis was "talkin bout". |
| You
remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. |
| You owned
cassettes and/or recorded songs off the radio with your Boom Box. |
| You were
led to believe that in the year 2000, we'd all be living in space. |
| You know
what leg warmers are (or had a pair) and/or wore biker shorts under
a mini skirt and felt stylish. |
| You wore
your Izod shirt with the collar up and/or a Swatch Watch with the
Swatch Guard. |
|
You remember when Happy Meals came in a box, not in a paper bag. |
| You
remember when Saturday Night Live was funny..."Jane, you ignorant
slut". |
| You had
Wonder Woman or Superman underoos. |
| You
remember "The Super Bowl Shuffle". |
| You owned
or knew somebody with a Commodore 64. |
| You have
ever said "Gag Me With A Spoon" or "Sike". |
| You have
ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons. |
| You had to
get up to change the channel, or had one of those noisy clicky
boxes. |
| You
remember the first time you went into a video store to rent a
movie...on Beta. |
| Your arm
was full of rubber bracelets and/or you wore those wide colourful
shoelaces. |
| You know
what happens when you get a Gremlin wet. |
|
If
you can identify with at least half of this list, then you, my
friend, are a child of the 80s! |
