Crap, that's me!

I'm sure this has been passed around before, and some people have seen it, but it's still funny.

You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:

You've ever ended a sentence with the word SIKE.

You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom

If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock"

It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.

You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You played the game "MASH"(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House)

You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it.

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on , was off"

You wanted to be a Goonie.

You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us...head-to-toe)

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

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

You took lunch boxes to school...and traded Garbage Pail Kids in the schoolyard.

You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets.

You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.

You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes.

After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept 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 have ever played with a Skip-It.

You remember boom boxes and walking around with one on your shoulder like you were all that.

You remember watching both Gremlins movies.



You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot.


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

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

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell," The ORIGINAL class.

You know all the words to Bon Jovi -"Shot Through the Heart"
You just sang those words to yourself.

You still sing "We are the World"

You tight rolled your jeans.

You owned a bannana clip.

You remember "Where's the Beef?"

You used to (and probably still do) say "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

It's true, I had a crush on Doogie. Big surprise that my first boyfriend was gay...

Funny!

I avoided most of that TV crap thankfully, and I've tried my best to purge all memory of it.

Oregon Trail, LMAO! I remember playing that on a VAX mainframe in text mode in 1982.

And isn't it supposed to be "psych" instead of "sike", as in I psyched you out?

I think it is supposed to be "psych", but that's how it arrived in my e-mail, and I didn't feel like taking the time to modify the picture.

Ya get what ya pay for/

DAMMIT! I did start singing "Shot through the heart" in my head when I read that!

For the record, I was never a NKOTB fan...all my friends were and got me their cassette tapes for my 13 birthday along with a poster. This is the ONLY reason I even owned anything with their name on it.

I'm wondering where the part about the big bangs and mullets are...they forgot that. I plead the 5th on the bangs. You're going to have to threaten to put my hand in a blender for that.
