Remember the 80's?

Found this on a site. I was pissing my pants in laughter.

You Know You Grew Up In The 80's When...

You know what "Sike" means.

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

You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer".

You can sing the McDonald's Big Mac, Filet-o-fish, quarter pounder and French fry song.

You know who Mr. T is.

You know who Fat Albert is. And who was the old boy with the pink mask?

You ever wore fluorescent, neon clothing.

You could breakdance, or wish you could.

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

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

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

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.

You knew that knowing is half the battle.

You wanted to be on Star Search.

You can remember Michael Jackson when he was black.

You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth.

You remember the garbage pail kids, and owned some.

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

You knew "Rut row raggy" and "Zoinks."

You HAD to have your MTV.

"The Breakfast Club" become an instant classic.

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system.

You owned only cassettes.

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

You remember and/or owned any of the Care Bear Glass collection from Pizza Hut or the Muppets glasses from McDonalds.

Poltergeist freaked you out.

You knew who Ben Stein was before you could win his money, "Bueller?"

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ET, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Strawberry Shortcake or A-Team lunch box.

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female Smurf.

You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.

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

You wore your Izod shirt with the collar up.

You had a Swatch Watch with the Swatch Guard.

Your Legos collection started with the free sets in a Happy Meal.

You remember when Happy Meals came in a box, not a paper bag.

You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.

You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos.

You know what a "Push Up" ice cream is.

You had to come in the house when the street lights came on.

You had to change into play clothes after school.

You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64.

You hated Scrappy Doo.

You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box.

You wish you had a light saber.

Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80's" ("it's been 7 hours & 15 days...")

Your arm was full of rubber bracelets.

You have ever said, "Gag me with a spoon."

You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons.

You had to get up to change the channel.

You can still sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine on Sesame Street.

You thought the "Thriller" video was pretty cool.

You remember the first time you went into a video store to rent a movie.

You wore those wide, colorful shoelaces.

Quiet Riot's "Come on feel the noise" was the best song - ever.

You know where "I want my two dollars" came from.

You still cannot go in to the water because of that damn movie - Jaws.

El Debarge's "Get a beat to the Rhythm of the night" plagued the radio every hour.

You remember life before minivans and SUVs.
 
This ranks as one of the best posts of all time!!!!!!! This is great!!!!!
 
I still have my acid-washed jean jacket with the Michael Jackson buttons all over it. I'm going to make my son wear it when he's old enough. LOL That'll ensure that he never gets a date and doesn't wind up getting some rotten teenager pregnant.:D

OMG! I have been running around my house now singing....

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 -11 - 12!! I can still sing that entire song!!! OMG!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!
 
My mom bought me PINK canvas Chuck Taylors, and I painted them black with shoe polish. I think I still have them in the basement somewhere. She was pretty pissed off about that.
 
Whatever happened to Mr. T?

The 80's was like the comedown from the 70's:p
 
Trance said:

Mr. T is doing 1-800 Collect commercials with a bunch of old
ladies. I shit you not.

Sorry, what is that?

It sounds pretty crappy to me..... what a way for Mohammed Ali's sparring partner to end up....

Mr. T was definetly one of my b/b inspirations in those days, along with Stallone.

1-800 Collect is a long distance phone service which is famous for really stupid commercials that feature has-beens and dorky people like Carrot Top.

That is sad.

Thing is, after all the stuff he did in the 80's I am surprised that Mr. T needs the money from this kind of venture.

Or is desperate enough.
 
This is a good post. I was born in '80. I remember all the kids in kindergarten that would bring their huge Greyskull Castles to school with all the action figures. Hahahaha.

- You know you're from the '80s when you can remember when Arnold Schwarzennegger was still big.:D

The scooby doo thing is all wrong. Scooby is cool now scrappy is an ass.

a lot of people don't know this but scrappy was shaggys and scoobies invisable friend. Shaggy and Scooby would get very baked in there van and scrappy was just in there head. Thats why those two were always hungry :)

Someone else once told me that they were all on drugs like weed--and even LSD---and all the ghosts and killers they saw were never there.

T-blow threw all his money and owed the IRS quite a bit---I believe he went bankrupt and had to do some silly jobs just to pay back the IRS---Some people think that his cancer thing is fake.. Just to get some recognition.
 
I posted this list 2 nights ago and didn't get one response.. but now its being labeled as the greatest post of all time? I see how it is..

::walks away mumbling profanities and words such as 'poopoo heads'::

on what though.....

never took him for the extravert type.

Would love to see a recent pic...... damn he must be like 45+ y/o
 
OK, Who would win in a fight between:


Debbie Gibson and Britney Spears

New Kids On the Block and Backstreet Boys

Tiffany and Christina Aguilera
 
Damn about 25 or so of those things I remember doing, and I didn't catch very much of the 80s. Actually I caught the very tail end, but my older brother did most of that stuff, and I just had to be like him.

I remember birthday parties at bowling alleys with the gutter blockers, and shit.

That poor Arnold. He should have juiced so he could have beaten up the Gooch instead of being afraid of him and running all the time.
