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

[knightni]

Yeah.

 

Also, you might be a child of the late 70s/early 80s if you remember Sesame St. without Elmo.

[SnB]

i only experienced 3.5 years of the 80s and even I can relate to most of those.

 

PS: pee wee's big adventure is still one of my favorite movies.

One of my daughter's favorite things are My Little Ponys.

 

I think my youngest has every single one (of the newer ones) ever made. At least it seems that way when I try to clean her room.

I do remember that. I also remember when he was the "new monster". I think I quit watching the show just before he came on.

 

 

 

I have to add a few more:

 

You ever watched Reading Rainbow with LeVar Burton before he was on Star Trek.

You know how to use the dewey-decimal system.

You remember when only "rich people" could afford cell phones.

You wondered if the Sox would ever win a World Series in your lifetime.

I'm not even 23 yet and I miss the 80's.

I was in HS from '82-'86 and I don't miss the 80s at all. I knew they sucked even back then.

I think all of that stuff has been recycled at some point in time. It's never as good as the originals though.

 

I am really disappointed with the newer versions of the He-Man, Star Wars, Transformers and GI Joe figures/toys.

Some of the new star wars figures have removable hands. That's an excellent feature for a 6 year old. Also, they didn't do much to update the Darth Vader carrying case. It's just the wrong size for most of the figures.

 

This was definitely my wife when I met her:

"ever curled your bangs upward, and sprayed them in place there" Her hair defied gravity.
