YES! I thought those were the best things ever. It was between that and my 1000+ sticker collection, most of them scratch-n-sniff.

I remember all of those! Do you remember Tom Hanks' TV show Bosom Buddies? I loved that show, even though I was only 3 or so when it came on.
And I had one of those batons. It was also the isht along with my stickers and charm necklace.
And who could forget "Downtown Julie Brown"??? She was awesome!

Inspired by these 80s threads, I'm listening to an 80s radio station thru iTunes while I get some work done. I'm deep into an issue, plowing through it, when suddenly my fingers freeze on the keyboard. Out of my speakers blares "Shot through the heart!" And in my head, I screamed "Jon!!!" HOW have we so far forgotten the frosted-maned one??? Rectifying that oversight right now:
ETA: I owned this exact poster. When my mother saw it, she said "Who's that girl?"

Oh, god, Blondie "rapping"... I hated it then, it still sounds awful now.
ETA: Woohoo, "Miami Vice" theme! I can still picture the opening credits as this plays... and OH MY GOD it just ran right into the theme from "St. Elmo's Fire"!!!!!! I CANNOT get my work done and I LOVE this station!!!!!!
ETA again: "Fight the powers that be!" wooooww, I haven't heard PE in a LONG time. RIGHT at the end of the 80s, that was a big time of change in the old music scene... Rick Springfield and his ilk faded quickly...

LOL at the Scorpions! I remember when I first moved to Germany back in 2004. My friends and I had driven to Mainz to eat at a Mexican restaurant (don't get me started on the craziness of a Mex restaurant in Germany!) when we were diverted from the way the Navigon told us to go. There was a big stage set up in the middle of the road, but the back of the stage was facing us. We were like, "What's going on?" One of the guys in our group said joklingly, "Hey, maybe it's the Scorpions." [insert air guitar here] We laughed about it, and went to eat. When we finished, we decided to walk to the stage to see what was going on. Lo and behold, it WAS the Scorpions. A free concert!

I also remember the McKids clothing line that mcdonalds created in partnership with sears in the 80's.
Who had a pair of high-top atheltic shoes? Or the converse "cheerleading" shoes where you could change the colors in it? Who owned a crimping iron for their hair?
Oh and The Ghostbusters!!!
