Ok, I too received a "Child of the 80's" email today, so I just wanted to add a few from that list. I hope this isn't repetitive.
You can sing the McDonalds Big Mack Filet-o-fish, Quarter, Pounder, French fry song while jump roping.
You watched Beat Street and Electric Boogaloo 20 times. (Wasn't Turbo fine?)
You could breakdance, or wish you could. (Remember pop lockin'?)
You used dishwashing detergent for soap in the tub. (I don't know if that had to do with the times or our financial situations!)
You remember when BET came on the air and MTV could go to hell because the only black artist they played was Michael Jackson.
You hold a special place in your heart for "227".
DeBarge was the Sh*t ... "Love Me In A Special Way", "I Like It", "All This Love"
You always wondered why Tootie always wore those damn skates.
You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good movie.
You watched Purple Rain over and over again.
You remember the episode of Good Times when Flo broke down after James' funeral: Damn, Damn, Damn!!!!!
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.
Michael Jackson's Thriller video scared you.
You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, Goonies or ET lunchbox.
You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.
You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish, or knew someone who did.
You ever had a Swatch Watch with the Swatch Guard. You wore more than one with some fat shoe laces to match the colors.
You remember the song "Pass the dutchie on the left hand side" by Musical Youth.
Ok, sorry ya'll. I am just really loving this topic.
