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!!

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i
was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do
you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless imagine if you added
some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips,
this website could certainly be one of the best in its niche.
Very good blog!

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to
be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd
post to let you know. The design look great though!
Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Cheers

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that
service? Bless you!

Hi! I could have sworn I've been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Anyways, I'm definitely delighted I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near
future but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
