You were a conscious little person in the 80's? Prove it. My proof:

Yeah I do a double take every time I see a black trans am because I think it might be the talking car from Knight Rider

I know all the words to the 'Fresh Prince of Bellair' theme song.

I have owned a pair of 'Hammer Pants'. D'ah d'uh d'uh d'uh...can't touch them.

You?

Wow, I am so glad I was only born at the end of this decade. I consider myself a ninties guy. Or maybe a naughties guy.

*And so it begins*

NKOTB...who would have ever thunk that Donnie was the 'loser' Wahlberg brother???

*wore a down vest and jean jacket all through 1986 because of 'Back to the Future'*

I never tight-rolled the jeans...we used to use safety pins to taper the calf portion so tight it cut off blood flow to the brain. We were an army of juvenile jhodpur jockeys.

Biggie, I still have my E.T. sleeping bag.

The 80's were great. Remember when MTV used to play music? And they had that game show, Remote Control.

I also had a crush on Optimus Prime. tee hee :)

Heh, we ripped ours and then wrote on them with Sharpies.

Plus, there was that whole "ripped" look. Thanks Flashdance.

Oh god, now I really feel old! The most hilarious thing about the 80s....has to be...the big teased heavy metal hair! Aqua Net must have made a fortune off not only the bands, but the crazy groupies. Do they even sell that hairspray anymore? Nasty!

Eyes start to twitch, tic forms in cheek.

80's, one newborn, one toddler.

grabs her copy of fraggle rock the movie and slinks off to watch it in the privacy of her bedroom where no one will know.

Rhiemma...May all your twitches be neon. Would you believe I was blessed with a tour of the fraggle rock studio, circa 1988??

Worst birthday present ever. And Biggie...your kidding. Like with clothespegs???

*teases his hair like Cyndi Lauper was coming over with E.T. and a 'Facts of Life' dvd boxed set.
