You Know You Grew Up In The 80's if:
You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton
Girls wore biker shorts under their skirts and felt stylishly sexy
Two words: Hammer Pants
If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock"
You had plastic streamers on your handle bars... and spokey-dokes or playing cards on your spokes for that incredible sound effect
You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales" (Woo ooh!)
It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
You wore a ponytail on the side of your head
You saw the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen..and still know the turtles names.
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, WAX 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 still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.
You remember Hypercolor t-shirts
You thought She-ra (Princess of Power!) and He-Man should hook up.
You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.
You remember owning roller skates.
You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide.
You've gone through this nodding your head in agreement.
You remember Popples.
Don't worry, be happy
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 know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART (YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME).
You just sang those words to yourself.
You remember Homemade Levi shorts.. (the shorter the better)
You remember when people thought mullets were cool!
You had a mullet!
You tight rolled your jeans.
You owned a bannana clip.
You're still singing shot through the heart in your head, aren't you!
ROCK ON!!!

Cheers
Angie

No mullet though and no i never though mullet were cool. Levi....who wears short shorts. Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART...was one of my favourite song and a shower classic.
