You know you're an 80's child when

[liebe_angel]

You remember Don Johnson when he was "cool"

You know who shot J.R

You remember when Michael Jackson was actually considered something of a sex symbol

You practice getting in and out of your car through the windows

You owned at least one skinny leather tie.

Your first Walkman weighed 10 pounds and was the size of a brick.

You wore L.A. Gear tennis shoes.

You know the meaning of Wax on/Wax Off

You're always "in the mood for dancing"

If you can "See Better" with sunglasses that have paint splattered all over the lenses.

You wore lace gloves with the fingers cut off, bangle bracelets up to your elbows, bright red Reebok high tops and parachute pants to a school dance

You need a shopping cart to carry your personal stereo with you.

You remember what Michael Jackson looked like before the surgery.

You go rollerskating every Friday night (not to skate, but to 'hang out')

You still want to take Karate...(after you move to California)

You watch NYPD Blue thinking, "Well, they're no Crockett and Tubbs, that's for sure".

"Outrageous!" is the term to describe something neat and cool

You think that Garbage Pail Kids are your children's worst enemy

You had a poster of Bo, Luke & Daisy Duke

There was nothing to question about Bert n' Ernie living together

The feeling in your thumb is only now just returning after holding down the Atari joystick to control the racecar in Enduro Racer

You went out and purchased the sound track for 'Miami Vice'

You remember the magazines of song lyrics

If you think Hulk Hogan is the best wrestler of all time.

If the best non-slasher movie in your opinion is An American Werewolf In London.

Two words: The Clapper.

Six words: "This is your brain on drugs."

You want to live in 'the Valley'.

Ferris Bueller was your idol.

You watched 'Star Search' on a regular basis.

You can sing all the words to "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head, and now you understand that it is about chess.

If you had an entire wardrobe of Esprit clothing (or coveted one.)

If you know the words to the "Oscar Mayer" theme songs

Your bangs are teased perfectly to 7 inches above the rest of your hair.

Have multi-colored earrings that touch your shoulders

Played Upwords, Boggle or Trivial Pursuit (the original) on a rainy afternoon

You're still bitter that WHAM broke up

You know whose phone number is 867-5309

You drink Diet Coke because Max Headroom told you to

You can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in you.

You still wear a bandanna tied around your leg and/or a ponytail off-center on the side of your head.

You have the tendency to turn up the collar of your polo shirts

You never go out for a night on the town without frosted blue eyeshadow and feathered bangs

Everything in your wardrobe is either pastel or fluorescent

People are constantly gagging you with spoons.

You know all the words to "I'm just a bill, sitting up on Capitol Hill" and "School House Rock."

The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.

You still can't believe that Milli Vanilli was deceiving you all that time

Every now and then, you blurt out: "Ooh noo, Mr. Bill!!!"

You still watch things on Beta tapes

You know who Martha Quinn is.

You still carry your boom box on your shoulder

You think David Hasselhoff was awesome in Knight Rider but sucks in "Boob Watch."

You wanted to be "The Hulk" for halloween

A piece of folded paper and two hands could tell your fortune.

Knickers and leg warmers were cool

If you remember Bruce Willis from Moonlighting, not Die Hard

You had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding

You ever had a Dorothy Hammill haircut.

You thought a Commodore 64 was the highest technology available

When you saw luging at the Winter Olympics you poured water down your driveway and tried it yourself.

You want to be "Where Everybody Knows Your Name"

'A Different World' kicked butt

Remember "Dancin' to a Big Mac at McDonald's!"

You know who played Magnum P.I

One Phrase, "The Plane, The Plane"

You can name at least three members of the Brat Pack

Still think banana clips were a godsend

Still wear Wet n' Wild makeup

If your idea of hi-tech toys is still the heat-sensitive color-changing sticker on Transformers

You ever wanted to learn to play "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar and choreographed "Dancing Queen" by yourself in your room.

You still wear your "Members Only" jacket.

You still have a couple of those barrettes made of woven ribbons.

You had snap bracelets

You remember when Pee-Wee wasn't a pervert.

You had had five pairs of socks on at any given time

You still think Donkey Kong can beat Mario up

If you still have your scratch-n-sniff sticker collection

If you ever used Lee Press-On Nails

If you wear jelly shoes

If you remember when you heard that drinking soda and eating Pop Rocks would make your stomach explode

You still play with that CASIO SK-1 Keyboard

You're still hoping for a New Kids on the Block reunion tour

You still argue over who was better: Tiffany or Debbie Gibson

Every time you hear the "OH YEAH..." song you think of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

You still watch tapes of Stingray, McGyver, and Airwolf.

My friend Stephani and I went out the other night, and on the way home, she put Billy Joel's Greatest Hits in the CD player, cranked it up, and we sang every word to "We Didn't Start the Fire" by memory (probably thanks to those song lyric magazines, many pages of which ended up as part of my senior year scrapbook!).  Wouldn't it be 'Outrageous!" if he did a Part 2 to that song, picking up in the 80s where he left off with the cola wars up to today's current events?

We have some friends that own a roller rink. www.VincennesRollerDome.com
I designed & maintain their site & we get in free. We take our 7 yr old twins & 17 year old often. They are not as popular as they were in the 80's.
