I too was depraived of the pogo ball experience.

Does anyone remember ballzacs? The colorfol desinged things you but around bouncy balls or water baloons or some such. Those went away when the target audience hit puberty and it sounded like ball sack. hehehe (embaressed sixth grade laugh) Embaressed. Em...bare..assed. hahaha bare assed.

The GI Joe aircraft carrier. That thing was huge and fun to play with.

I always wanted one of those... or the space shuttle they had. Parents were cheap on toys though.. I'll bet one of those would be REALLY expensive on ebay.

From AOX81
OMG, I remember dancing around the living room with my sister because we wanted to be a member of K - I - D - S Incorporated! Same thing with the old Mickey Mouse Club.

In addition, I was amazed no one has brought up my two favorite movies from the 80's - The Labyrinth from the master Jim Henson and The Secret of Nimh. Fragle Rock was RAD as well ;).

I wore Lacoste shirts and played Atari and ColecoVision. I was PSYCHED when I read this list! :cool: :D :)

3 words for you...
 

"Members Only" jacket

These are hilarious!!! :D

Does anyone remember the candy wax lips???

How about a roller-racer???

Oh, the memories........

I want everyone who is in a fraternity to do a little 80's research project. Look at your old composite pictures from the 80's and count the number of mullets. My chapter discovered that the 80's were prime mullet years. There are mullets on at least 70% of the brothers. Sororties, don't feel left out. You can look for the 4 inch or more teased hair.

I remember the wax-lips were carcinogenic.

Roller racer, is that anything like the penny-racer?

used to?? what about the 80's mixers! you need to crimp your hair for that ;)

We still have my roller racer hanging in the garage. My cousins come over and love it - they've never seen one other than mine! :D

hey dude, mullets are classic, they never go out of style!!! j/k :)

You played the game "Mash" with friends at school
we still do almost every time we go to eat and park!

You remember reading "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and all the Ramona books
still love 'em!

If you've ever wanted to go to Degrassi High
there's a new generation of Degrassi on the Noggin Channel, it's a fun i enjoy it!

Does anyone remember treetorns???

What about My Little Pony??

:D
