You Might Be a Child of the 80s if...


...your "dressy" wardrobe centered on pastels and linen blazers - guys included...

...your hair, at some point in time in the 80's, became something which can only be described by the phrase "I was experimenting"...

...this timeline appropriately describes actual events in your life:
Star Wars opens, you are still in single digit ages, and you think the creatures are WAY cool.
Empire Strikes Back opens, you are now in early double digit ages, and you are convinced that the special effects are much better, the characters are cool, and you want one of every collectible out there.
Return of the Jedi hits the theaters...you are now a teenager, and you cannot get your eyes off Princess Leia's breasts or Han Solo's butt. You fantasize forever and ever about it, and send off to join every fan club for them on the planet, hanging posters, photos, and "teen"-type magazine spreads all over your walls and lockers at school...

...you're starting to believe (now that it wouldn't affect YOU) that maybe having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea after all...

...you're doing absolutely nothing with anything pertaining to your major degree...

...you're finding that you just don't understand more than half the lingo used on MTV any more...

...(mostly guys on this one) sex is still as much fun as it used to be, and you're still really interested in it, but you just want to make sure there's nothing really good on cable that you'd be missing first...

...you ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon...

...U2 is too "popular" and "mainstream" for you now...

...you spent endless nights dreaming about being the Bionic Woman or Wonder Woman or the Six Million Dollar Man...

...you had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding (on General Hospital)...

...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 any other stupid collection they came out with...

...Poltergeist freaked you out...

...you carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunch box...

...you know not to mix poprocks and soda...

...you have played with a 'skip-it'...

...you had or went to a birthday party at McDonald's in the caboose...

...you've ever wanted to go to Degrassi High...

...you ever sat on or used one knee on a skateboard...

...you learned oldies songs by watching Alvin and the Chipmunks...

...you had a Glow Worm...
