Flashback

The post is dedicated to my rockin' 80's friend Janette! Oh ya.



You know you grew up in the 80's if:

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "SIKE"

You watched the Pound Puppies.

You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Belair" and can
do the"Carlton".

You yearned to be a member of the B aby-sitters club and
tried to start a club of your own.

You know that "WOAH " comes from Joey on Blossom.

If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock"

You had plastic streamers on your handle bars...
and "spokey-dokes" or playing cards on your spokes for
that incredible sound effect.

You can sing the entire theme song to "DuckTales " (Woo ooh!)

You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.

You made your mom buy one of those clip s that would hold
your shirt in a knot on the side.

You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and
were proud of it.

L.A. Gear....need I say more?

You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF"

You wanted to be a Goonie.

You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us...head-to-toe)

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

You took lunch boxes to school... and traded Garbage Pail
Kids in the schoolyard.

You still get the urge to say "NOT " after every sentence

You remember Hypercolor t-shirts.

You thought She-ra (Princess of Power!) and He-Man should
hook up.

You thought your childhood friends would never
leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.

You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes. (and like
#24, probably in neon colors, too)

After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I
know you are, but what am I?"

You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"

You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide.

You have ever played with aSkip-It.

You remember "Popples".

"Don't worry, be happy"

You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high
top Reeboks.

You wore socks scrunched down (and sometimes
still do...getting yelled at by "younger hip" members of the
family)

You know what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare!!"

You remember watching "Rainbow Bright" and "My Little
Pony Tales"

You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac.

You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool...
and don't even flinch when people refer to them as "NKOTB".

You knew all the characters names and their life stories
on "Saved ByThe Bell"

You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

You just sang those words to yourself.

Homemade Levi shorts.. (the shorter the better)

You remember when mullets were cool!

You had a mullet!

You tight rolled your jeans.

You owned a bannana clip

You used to (and probably still do) say "What you talkin'
about Willis?"

You had big hair and you knew how to use it.

You're still singing shot through the heart in
your head, aren't you!!!

Okay, so I know that was a little long, but enjoyable none the less. I thought I would enlighten you with a few 80's pictures of my own. I can't say I meet all the criteria listed above, but I definetly grew up in the 80's.


I'm not quite sure why the pastel overalls were allowed 2 years in a row!








This is almost one of my favourite memories of the 80's. When I was 8 years old, I found a $100 bill in a mud puddle on my street. After asking around the neighborhood for a couple days, my parents let me keep it. And that was the beginning of my bank account. I thought I was a millionaire!!
