Also remember GI Joe, Heman, CHIPS, the original Battlestar Galactica, And Blair and Jo from Facts Of Life and Bonnie from CHIPS were hot, and from the early 80's Fights were settled with fists not guns. Remember there was only one computer in the whole school and that was in the front office.

you know, by heart, the words to any "Weird" Al Yankovic song
..you owned an "Atari"
.."Friday Night Videos" before the days of MTV
..playing "1999" by Prince over and over again
..you were shocked and horrified at the Challenger explosion
...you took family trips BEFORE the invention of the mini-van. You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you.
...you've recently horrified yourself by using any one of the following phases:(because your parents use to say them)
"When I was younger,When I was your age,You know back when..."
"Because I SAID so, that's why"
...Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language
...you're starting to view getting carded to buy alcohol as a GOOD thing, and you're ready to marry the next person who cards you when you want to buy cigarettes.
...you ever owned one of those embarrassing crimping irons
...you thought that all those gold chains on Mr. T actually looked kinda cool and the thought that Mr. T made millions seemed rational to you at the time
...you remember with pain the sad day when the Green Machine hit the streets and made your old big wheel quite obsolete
...(girls) you thought Sean Cassidy was "dreamy", and lusted after Ponch and John from CHiPs
...you're still occasionally suffering flashbacks from your 21st birthday party
...you're starting to dread your 30th/40th birthday, and have even begun going into denial about it's possibility
...you freaked out when you found that you now fall into the "26 - 50" age category on most questionnaires
...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
...going to keg parties no longer involves hiding out in the woods when the cops show up
...you've recently horrified yourself by groaning as you get out of bed, not because of a hangover, but because it genuinely just hurt to do so
...you're finding that you just don't understand more than half the lingo used on MTV any more
...you ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon
...you ever used the phrase "kiss mah grits" in conversation
...Happy Days theme is stuck in your head for hours on end
...Brady Bunch
...you spent endless nights dreaming about being the Bionic Woman or Wonder Woman or the Six Million Dollar Man
...you know who shot J.R.
...does this rings a bell: "and my name, is Charlie. They work for me."

The 80's boring? How dare you? LOL!

The 80's were awesome. OMG, did I just say awesome?

Am I the only one that was let down when we played Prince going into 1999? That was a surreal evening.
