This will get you thinking.How many can you identify with?

You're an '80s child or have an 80's child if you understand this:

You played with "My Little Ponies."
You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby."
You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.
You wanted to be on Jim'll Fix It
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery.
You wore a banana clip or one of those slap-on wrist bands at some point.
You wore multiple pairs of socks in the middle of the summer just so you could be "hip."
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."
You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power, and He-Man got cancelled,but most especially the mighty THUNDERCATS!!!!
You can remember watching Full House and Saved by the Bell for endless hours, back when they were new episodes.
You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.
You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."
You know someone who appeared on Wac-a-day.
You wanted to be a Goonie. ("Goonies never say die.")
You remember Madonna in her cone stage.
You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."
You say 'PJ and Duncan' not 'Ant and Dec'.
You could breakdance, or wished you could .
You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system.
You remember M.C. Hammer.
You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air.... (well this
is a story all about how, my life got flipped turned upside down...... LOL!)
You remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and NOT Will Smith!
You own many cassettes.
You owned a pair of L.A. Gear, Keds, or Converse tennis shoes.
You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunchbox.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you.
You ever had a Swatch Watch.
You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the "Care Bear stare."
You had Wonder Woman or Superman undies.
You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"
You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.
You spent hours in the basement building and re-building Lego cities.
Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go.
With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang back up to Kylie and Jason!
"Party like it's 1999" seemed SO far away!!
You wore acid washed jeans
Watching Neighbours was considered essential MHAIRI!!!
If you ever owned Polly Pocket or Mirco Machines
If you ever made Ken fall in love with Barbie

If you can identify with atleast half of these, you are a child of
the 80's!!

Ahh thoses affable lickle furry bastards. Gummi Bears,'Bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventure that's beyond compare, They are the Gummi Bears'.

How many times were they warned to keep Gruffi bear away from the Gummiberry Juice, how many, hah? Never happened. Once he got his hands on that shit he went loco. And there all us glazy eyed kids sat spellbound at this crazy bear hopping around in front of us and it was the most normal thing in the world....ara sure it wasn't his fault, we believed,not his fault surely that he was partial to a bit of the 'purple' stuff now and then.

No and it's very annoying, I look about 5 years younger than I used to [at least!] All my ID pictures have me with long hair looking older, I'm wondering what'll happen when I try and get in somewhere....

btw. if anyone is wondering why i keep quoting people , well the reason is that i think it looks nice , {i changed the settings so that it would be displayed like this }

i think i can safely say that i have the biggest collection of theme songs on my computer. i got loads at the weekend and loads of simpsons stuff aswell. i got the original spiderman song and the flintstones. i am not content to merely waste my youth but my adult life aswell by trying and failing to re-live my youth
