Flashback!

I got this in an e-mail and thought it was pretty funny and right on...I'm an 80's kiddo fo sho! See my thoughts in red...

1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word SIKE.
you know it!
2. You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do theCarlton
I can and I do.

I was so in love with Joey.
4. If you ever watched 'Fraggle Rock'

Sorry, but even cartoons can't get me up early.
6. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.
I rocked it!
7. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
Best game eveah! Have they made an updated version? There are a few peeps I'd like to see come down with Typhoid or Scarlet Fever.
8. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
We had tons of 'em. I even had one shaped like a flamingo.
9. You played the game 'MASH'(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House)
I was supposed to live in a mansion, marry Kirk Cameron, have 3 kids and drive a porsche. What happened?

Tight rolled of course-

Love it!

Notsomuch, but Little Red loves this movie!
13. You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (Some of us...head-to-toe)
You know it- fluorescent spandex was da bomb!

FREAK!

She was hot stuff!

Like it was yesterday!

NOT!
19. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.
I had thread in every color.
21. You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes.
I broke an egg on my jelly shoe in kindergarden while cooking. So gross!
22. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying 'I know what you are, but what am I?'
So annoying...

Fun times!

I was actually really good at skippin it.

I don't think I ever did that.

They also freaked me out.
28. You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot.
Neil Patrick Harris & Alyssa Milano still rock!
29. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown a lien from Melmac.
When I was in college a guy I knew dressed up like Alf for Halloween. Funniest thing ever.
30. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool... and don't even flinch when people refer to them as 'NKOTB'
Loved them more than life itself...

33. You just sang those words to yourself.
you give love a bad name
34. You still sing 'We are the World'
we are the children...
35. You tight rolled or french cuffed your jeans. And still debate on which is the right term!
TIGHT ROLLED!
36. You owned a bannana clip.
I owned one in every color.
37. You remember 'Where's the Beef?'
Actually, I don't...
38. You used to (and probably still do) say 'What you talkin' 'bout Willis?'
Oh yeah!

Thanks so much for making me feel so old. I appreciate it. No...really..I do. Who doesn't want to feel older? It's way better than feeling younger.

I remember all that stuff and I don't like that.

Something In The Glass said...

I'm SO with you on these... Especially Kirk Cameron, Joey Lawrence and NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK.

Nothing will ever be as good as the 80s. Who ever would have thought that those would be "the good ole days."

Coco said...

French cuffed? WTH? It was totally tight rolled.

LOVED me some side ponytails.

Hours making friendship bracelets, remember how nasty they would get?

Hilarious post! We are old. But still hot.

Coco said...

Sass, tonight is JUST pbr. That is my kind of rodeo. My cousin is a prca bull dogger so I pretend to like that but it is just pretending. I LOVE bull riding. I bet you met some wild cowboys!
Of course I will be wearing jeans tucked into boots with a wrap sweater and lace tank, not the usual rodeo wear. But that's how we prepnecks roll. No?
Told everyone about your term prepneck and all my girlfriends agree, that is TOTALLY me!!!! Love it!!

OMG...is it SO sad that almost EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of these applied to me?!!

Blossom, sorry, but I admit...I wanted to dance like her. Didn't she have some mad skillz? (not really, maybe in an 80's kind of way?!!)

Friendship bracelets...had the container made especially for all of those threads.

I could keep going and going. Too many great memories. Fun times!

Sassy Cass said...

B&B and Misadventured- I know! Good times...

Impulsive- We are so not old...yet. This should only make you feel old if you can't remember it. :)

Something In The Glass- LOL- they were the good ole days, other than the hair styles of course1

Coco- I have never ever heard of french cuffed...Hope yall had fun this weekend!

AB- I lurved Blossom so much. I always did the dance right along with her. Oooooh- the container for the thread. I had one of those, too!
