1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCH!"
Isn't it just bad enough I used it? Don't use it still. I've matured and grown into "NOT!"
2. You watched the Pound Puppies.
I loved this show. I was always so sad because Mom would never buy me one.
3. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
I can't help but sing along with the opening song when it comes on reruns...
4. You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylish.
Heh, yeah I did. Oh my mom hated those things. She started to like them a bit more when I moved on to leggings though...
5. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-Sitters Club and tried to start a club of your own.
Nope. I watched the show when it came on, but never was a huge fan...
6. You owned those lil Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls.
Oh yeah! I had a whole little town and everything. I had all the characters. I was envied.
7. You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom.
I forgot all about that show. Too cool...
8. Two words: M.C. Hammer.
I have the album.
9. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock."
Never missed an episode.
10. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars.
Yup. It was a pink bike with pink and white streamers, and a little white basket on the front with a pink daisy. Oh, and it was a dirt bike. Heh.
11. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales."
Watched every episode. Loved to sing along with it.
12. You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons
I was still getting up on Saturdays when I moved out to my own apartment. Yup, those were the days...
13. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.
Ugh, I even have pictures of it. Burn them!
14. You saw the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the big screen.
Nope, I'm afraid I didn't see it until it came out on video.
15. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
Huh?
16. You made your Mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
Never heard of 'em. I actually knotted my shirts without the aide of a clip. BIG HUGE SHIRTS.
17. You played the game "MASH".
Nope. Couldn't stand the show.
18. You wore a Jordache Jean jacket and you were proud of it.
Well okay, I think mine was actually Lee, but still...
19. L.A. Gear...
Heh. Yeah... Had some shoes.
20. You wanted to change your name to "JEM" in Kindergarten.
Another one of those shows featured on "I Love the 80s". Gotta love it...
21. You remember reading "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and all the Ramona books.
Yeah, I remember reading them. Don't remember much about them though.
22. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF."
Yup. Still use that phrase. I'm too cool.
23. You wanted to be a Goonie.
Yup. Still an all time fav movie.
24. You ever wore fluorescent clothing.
Oh yeah. I even had fluorescent earrings to match.
25. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off.
Honestly, I was never a fan of him when he still looked like himself, but I do remember what he looked like.
26. You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
Even as a child I could only wonder about what life must be like for her. Kinda reminded me of Marg Hellenburger's character on China Beach.
27. You took lunch pails to school.
Yup. Every lunch time everyone got around to see who's was the coolest.
28. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets.
Mmm... Sounds a bit like bangle braclets. Not sure if I remember this one.
29. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.
See question one for answer.
30. You remember Hypercolor T-shirts.
Nope, can't say as I do.
31. Barbie and the Rockers was your favorite band.
Big Barbie fan, not a fan of the band though. JEM was the coolest. Sorry Barbie...
32. You thought She-Ra and He-Man should hook up.
Friend of mine actually has a video about this....
33. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged friendship bracelets.
I had one or two of these, but not until much later when I was in highschool.
34. You ever owned a pair of jelly shoes.
I owned two pairs of jelly shoes.
35. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"
Oh I am such a geek.
36. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
Oh they should still have that commercial on. Too funny...
37. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates.
Yup, although I lived close by to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. I had been taking lessons.
38. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip'n'Slide.
39. You have ever played with a Skip-It.
40. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonald's.
One or two in my time. Had at least one myself, I do believe.
41. You've gone through this list occasionally saying "totally awesome."
Didn't say it, but I thought it. I suppose that counts though, right?
42. You remember Popples.
Sigh. Yeah. Never had one though...
43. "Don't worry, be happy."
Love that song. I'd probably drive Bobby nuts right now.
44. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks.
Eww, no. I was too cool for that. I had leg warmers.
45. You wore socks scrunched down.
It took me a long time to break that habit. I still get the habit to scrunch them now and then.
46. "Miss MARY MACK MACK, all dressed in BLACK BLACK BLACK"
Yeah. Not one of the school yard favs, but I remember it.
47. You remember boom boxes vs. CD players.
Oh I had to have a boom box. Didn't get into CD players until after hubby bought me a stereo.
48. You remember watching both "Gremlins" movies.
Still watch them when the mood strikes...
49. You know what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare!"
Yet another sad tale of me not having the toy. But yeah, I loved the show.
50. You remember watching Rainbow Brite and My Little Ponies.
I admit it. I was one of those children raised on TV.
51. You thought Doogie Howser was hot.
Not sure if hot is the right description, but he was cute.
52. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac.
Gotta love that they brought him back for the commercials. Loved the one they paired him up with Hulk Hogan.
53. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool.
Remember them, but never thought they were cool. All my friends just loved them. I secretly liked some of their songs.
54. You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By the Bell"
Yeah. Don't ask me for details. It's bad enough I remember them still. You know they had a reunion show?
55. You know all the words to Bon Jovi
Still like his songs. Was so happy to hear they'd got back together for more albums.
