Here's an "Off the Topic" for you if your bored ;D. I've referred to being a child of the 80's too many times, but I thought some of you might get a kick out of this list a friend emailed to me. Maybe you can add some of your own!
You might be a child of the 80's if...
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off. Or even when he had those freaky eyes in "Thriller" at the end of the video.
You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's butt.
You knew what Willis was "talkin' 'bout."
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."
You'll always hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."
You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an 80's movie she WASN'T in?)
You wanted to be a Goonie ("Goonies never say die.")
You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."
You could breakdance, or wished you could.
You know who Max Headroom is.
You know, by heart, the words to any "Weird" Al Yankovic song.
You remember when ATARI was a state-of-the-art video gaming system.
You own any cassettes or albums.
You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
You ever had a Swatch Watch.
You had a crush on one of the Coreys (Haim or Feldman).
You have heard of "Garbage Pail Kids" (and perhaps still have a collection of them).
You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"
Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.
Songs by Debbie Gibson still haunt you to this day.
You were shocked and horrified at the Challenger explosion (which you were probably watching in school at the time).
Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language.
You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna, or Cyndi Lauper video.
At one point during your teenage years, you walked with a noticeable tilt to one side due to the number of plastic rings on that arm.
"Celebration" by Kool & the Gang was one of the hot new songs when you first heard it at a school dance.
The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
When someone mentions two consecutive days of the week, the Happy Days theme is stuck in your head for hours on end.
You had a crush on Jon Bon Jovi, or knew someone who did.
You have ever called 867-5309.
You had a poster of Rob Lowe, Kirk Cameron, or Michael J. Fox on your wall.
You held the top score on Pac-Man.
You owned a t-shirt that said, "I shot J.R." or know someone who did.
You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool.
You jammed to the Miami Vice theme and thought Jan Hammer was cool.
