Cool You knew you grew up in the 80's when...

You know what "sike" means

You know the profound meaning of "wax on", "wax off"

You know that another name for a keyboard is "synthesizer"

You can sing the McDonald's Big Mac, Filet-o-fish, Quarter Pounder, French-fry song

You know who Mr. T is

You remember the Thundercats and Strawberry Shortcake

You ever wore fluorescent or neon clothing

You could breakdance or wish you could

You wanted to be the "hulk" or "barbie" for Halloween

Partying like it's 1999 seemed SO far away

You have had atleast one Cabbage Patch Kid doll

You wanted to be on Star Search

You can remember Michael Jackson when he was black

You were a banana clip at some point during your youth

You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good movie

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system

You owned cassettes

You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon

Poltergeist freaked you out

You knew who Ben Stein was before you could win his money, "BUELLER?"

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ET, Dukes of Hazard, Knightrider, Strawberry Shortcake, My little Pony or A-Team lunch box

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf

You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair

You were biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish

You wore an Izod shirt with the collar up

You had a Swatch watch with the Swatch Guard

You had so much hairspray in your hair that you could lift a whole section by pulling one strand

You remember when Happy Meals came in a box not in a bag

You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos

You know what a "push-up" icecream is

You had to come in the house when the street lights came on

You had to change into *play* clothes after school

You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64

You hated Scrappy Doo

You recorded songs off the radio with your Boom Box

Your arm was full of rubber bracelets

You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons

You had to get up to change the channel

You can sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine on Sesame Street

You believed that "By the power of Grayskull, you HAD the power!"

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye

Thought I would take a trip down memory lane. Feel free to add to my list.

Smurfette is the only adult female smurf. She was created by Gargamel as a purple Smurf with dark hair in order to lure the other smurfs, but her innate smurfiness shined through and she became accepted into the smurfy society. She is also intelligent, using her "girliness" to her advantage.

- you wore pumps or dress shoes with socks
- you had jellies (i actually had a pair that laced)
- you "tight rolled" your jeans

You had rainbow brite curtains, bedspread and complete video collection. (Or at least I did) And don't forget about Shera!!

Couldn't figure out how to get the rainbow brite pic on here.
