Oh fuck, I'm busted on all of them but the Garbage Pailkids, The game MASH, Fraggle Rock, & Skip-It. Everything else is spot on for me. Fuck'n A.

Now I want to find a copy of Oregon Trail for work.

Don't say I never did anything for you. You might have to install a plugin, but it worked fine for me after I did that, and it didn't blow up my computer, so it should be fine.

Oh yeah, they recommend IE, I didn't try firefox, so I dunno if it works on both.

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

That's a late 80's collection, but yes, I remember it all. And the first one should be "psych", to get the true definition.

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

Although I was born in 85, I remember all of that.
Slap Bracelets - those hurt if you really slapped your wrist with them
Oregon Trail - AWESOME, and so was Number Munchers - I kicked ass at prime numbers
Gremlins - Gizmo was the shat......"Hi ho hi ho"......"MILK DUDS!!!!"
Alf - great show
NKOTB - Hangin Tough and The Right Stuff....sadly its on my Limewire right now

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

Sheet. I was born in 82 and don't remember half of that crap.

I was too busy playing outside till 10 at night to hear about some of that.

edit: ok, maybe more than half, but still. the songs weren't that interesting back in the day. I got into music in the 90's when I was a bit older.

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

It is funny everytime somthing like this pops up. I would say 90% true for me.

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

I actually think of the Ninja Turtles movie whenever I hear that.

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

I'm so glad I don't remember the 80's.....But i've still done most of the things on that list.... HA :loser:

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

Don't forget about Hypercolor T-shirts

Re: You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if:
 

I wore zubas. I had the slap bracelets in class, played oregon trail, STILL have the old-skool nintendo, can do the carlton shuffle, and sometimes STILL play MASH at the theater, out of boredom, though there are modifications to the game, using a different word.
