It's funny how stuff like playing Oregon Trail in school is on there, I guess that was a big thing, ha ha ha.

Slap Bracelets ruled! :1orglaugh

I remember girls whipping each other with them when i was a teen, oh happy days

sharp email there buddy

:1orglaugh Damn, you got me there :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh oooooooh i was such an 80s kid

Man, God bless oregon trail in school days.

And kids don't still have birthday parties at mcdonalds?

I remember everything on there pretty much, I can barely remember Oregon Trail, I remember the name but can't remember the game that much ..

LOL Popples! OMG

Fraggle Rock was the shit. :thumbsup

Wait a goldarn second. Weren;t She-Ra and He-Man brother and sister?? GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!

:1orglaugh

wow you really hit the nail on the head. i just tight rolled my jeans for the hell of it. lol

Thats a classic. Only last night were me and my friends talking about how Smurfette must of been such a slut. Its strange how I can completely relate to nearly all of those comments yet I grew up in Australia.

That is so true! I had HUGE mall hair in the 80's! :1orglaugh

That was awesome. I laughed the entire time. Rock on.

Except there were only 68 things.. not 69..

Don?t forget:


White leather jackets (with matching boots)

Leather jackets with tassles

Tawny Kitaen being the WhiteSnake babe

Spandex pants

Cutting of sweatshirt collars a la flashdance

Tossing your jeans in the dryer before school to make them tighter, or even putting them on & then spraying them down

Haha shit,

Amen to that. We'd go hunting and just shoot everything we saw. Most of the time we didn't even know how to make the damned game work.

I still collect Scratch N Sniff Stickers and 80's toys. I have a Cabbage Patch Kid, a Teddy Ruxpin, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Smurfs, and a BIG collection of plastic charm necklaces. Plus, I have a bunch of magazines from the 80's like Stickers & Stuff, Barbie Magazine for Girls, 'Teen, Seventeen... God, I miss the 80's! :thumbsup

15. You got super-excited when it was Oregon
Trail day in computer class
at

I actually won a few times with all survivors :)

It's pathetic that Americans define themselves as people by their connection to corporate pop "culture".

I can relate to ~half of the list since I was born in 84, so I don't really remember much!
Oh and
You Forgot: "You actually thought Vanilla Ice was "cool" " :1orglaugh

Trail!

Only 3 or 4 things apply to me.
