Ok..I am putting this in the 18+ section since the kids are too young to really contribute to this thread.

After watching those 80's flashback shows on VH-1, I thought it would be cool to list some of your most memorable things about the 80s. Could be music...could be a TV show, or something that was really popular during that time.

I LOVED the 80's (still do...especially after looking back at some of the stuff that was popular back then.)

You're an eighties child if ...

You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.
You wanted to be on StarSearch.
You ever uttered the word "Radical!"
You wore jelly shoes and jelly bracelets
You thought "Ghostbusters" was by far the coolest movie
You remember watching shows like "Punky Brewster" , "Webster", "You Can't Do That On Television" , "Wild&Crazy Kids" and "Double Dare"
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off. Or even when he had those freaky eyes in "Thriller" at the end of the video.
You wore a banana clip in your hair or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth.
You rolled up the bottoms of your splatter painted jeans.
You wore loafers with everything, and you put the laces in those little rolls.
You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once.
You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's butt.

Nope...I wanted Zack...I LOVED that kid at the time.

OMG!! I don't think I've moved out of the eighties yet...

And by the way... you should go to Pizza Hut. It's still a cool place to hang out.

When I lived in New Jersey, Pizza Hut WAS and STILL IS the place to hang out. Thus, I moved to Florida.
