    Oooo don't foget the care bears, fraggle rock, lady lovely locks, strawberry shortcake, and rainbow brite... a lot of those cartoons are selling stuffed animals, calanders, and stuff like that... I don't know why kids would want them if those shows aren't even on tv anymore? I must admit, I have a strawberry shortcake calander, bath mat, and toothbrush holder ... but my mom bought the last two for me!!!

    Well, I did graduate from high school in 1981 so it's evident that I'm an 80's child too

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Stop! I'm having severe flashbacks of all the trends I've tried so desperately to forget! lmfao

    I have to admit though, there are MANY times that I miss the 80's. It was definitely a wild ride.

    Anyone else remember "rubber bracelets" and "punky bracelets"?

    I think I own every single Molly Ringwald movie, as well as the rest of the Brat Pack's. Oy vey.

    LOL...Merry-Go-Round...and spending oodles of money on Z.Cavvaricchi's and IOU Sweatshirts? At my school, it was "in" to wear the IOU's inside out and backwards. Oy...have my junior year pic with my IOU like that...ugh...course that trend went more into the early 90's...but yikes!

    I remember the jelly shoes, too. And wearing 3 different color socks on each foot...coordinating with the colors in your outfit, of course...

    Oh the memories I still remember what I was doing when president Reagan was shot.
    And those small pocket size sports games where you moved the little dots around Rubicks Cube(not sure on the spelling) and all of those other puzzle games that followed it.

    Aaaaah, the Cube! I wrote a Rubik's Cube program on my Commodore Vic 20 in BASIC...

    Now I'm gonna havta dig out my Atari 2600 and pop in Kangaroo, Frogger or the original Donkey Kong...

    And, of course, the only people to wear Grunge were... well... homeless

    Dig it, in Charlotte there's a club called "Breakfast Club" http://www.that80sclub.com that's dedicated of course to the 80's. It's like a middle-aged yuppie prom...

    Damn straight, Big D!

    And who could forget the hair bands. Poison, Crue, Guns-n-Roses (Axl's an a-hole, but the man can sing), Jon Bon Jock-strap(never liked him), Quiet Riot, Blue Murder

    And the original boy bands... New Kids on the Block and Menudo. I still have the parody "New Kids got Run Over by a Reindeer" on tape somewhere....

    Geraldo's embarrassment over Al Capone's vault , his stupidity with the Titanic and finally his scrap with a skinhead ending in a broken sniffer.

    You wore your pant legs pegged

    You owned a pair of parachute pants

    You knew that "knowing was half the battle!" GO JOE!

    Before there was hip hop and gangsta rap, Bird & Magic were the original East Coast / West Coast rivalry .... a they still wore short shorts

    Coverse were the cool basketball shoes to own

    Saying "I Don't Know?" got you covered with green slime

    "Whenever there's trouble, we're there on the double, we're the blood hound gang."

    You remember Sesame Street when Maria was hot and Gordon was a stud

    Girls had big hair and wanted to talk like a "Valley Girl"

    A thin strip of leather would pass for a neck tie, and you wore your colar up

    You believed a "tilte-a-whirl" could become a space craft

    You wondered how to get your computer to take some magazine pictures and you're sister's Barbie and spit out Kelly LaBrock
    If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.
