[at-l] NOT TRAIL RELATED-children of the 80s

[DEE C BOUCHER <monadnockdee@juno.com>]

Here is one for all the teens lurking out there...or parents of such
teens :-)


You're an 80's child if...

You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block
members.

You wanted to be on StarSearch. (Come on, we all did)

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like
before he had plastic surgery. (All those early videos)
Or even when he had those freaky eyes in "Thriller" at
the end of  the video.

You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist
bands at some point during your youth.

You were styling with your french rolled pants.

You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt
at least once. Aha, puffy paints!

You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's
butt.  What is that, do you know? Cabbage Patch Kids?

You knew what Willis was "talkin' 'bout."

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."

You were upset when Sherah, Princess of Power and
He-Man got cancelled.

You can remember watching full house and saved by the
bell for endless hours.

You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.                      
           
You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer."

You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."

You know where to go if you "wanna go where everybody
knows your name."

You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an
80's movie she WASN'T in?)

You know what "Sike" means.               

 You fell victim to 80's fashion: big hair, crimped, combed over to the
side, and you wore spandex pants 

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 actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played
"Sam" to be.

You ever wore flourescent -neon if you will
clothing...(or nailpolish)

You could breakdance, or wished you could.

You know who Max Headroom is. Sounds familiar, do you
know?

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game
system. (Remember Pong)

You know all the words to "ice ice baby".

You remember M.C. hammer.

You can still sing the rap to "fresh Prince of Bel air".

You own any cassettes.

You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be
living on the moon.

You remember and/or own any of the CareBear Glass
collection from  PizzaHut.

Poltergeist freaked you out.

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET
lunchbox.

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY
femalesmurf.

My Little Pony, Gummy Bears, PinWheel with Molly the
Mole, Double Dare, and Zoobilee Zoo are familiar to you.

You know what a Doozer is.

You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt
stylish.

You ever had a Swatch Watch.

You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the
care-bear stare.

You wanted to live in Muffy the Mouse's house on Today's
Special.

You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.

You had WonderWoman or Superman underoos. 

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the
power!"

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the
eye.

You know what a "Whammee" is. ("No Whammy, no
whammy,stop!!")

Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.

If you can identify with at least half of this list then you, my friend,
are a "Child of the 80's." Send this to anyone that would appreciate
going back to this wonderful decade. Was that a great time or what?
