CTW Members Titchy Posted July 30, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 30, 2003 i no this has prob been done b4 but i couldnt resist. Children of the 80's Hello children of the 80's. Read this, it will take you back but be careful cause it will also make you realise that you are now actually OLD!! You knew all the words to Captain Planet! Remember Tony Heart's "Heartbeat"? What about those rubber popper thingies that flew off the palm of your hand? "The Never Ending Story........ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhh" Snap bracelets were always getting you in trouble at school Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo You played with "My Little Ponies." Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken. You ever read Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Baby-sitters Club, Forever or Sweet Valley High. You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby". You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It". You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery. You wore one of those slap-on wristbands at some point...or heaven forbid one of those T-shirts that changed colour with heat. You had slouch socks and puff painted your own shirt at least once. You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off". You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and He-Man got axed. You can remember watching Saved by the Bell You remember Madonna in her cone stage. You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince." You even wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can call it clothing!) Not only did you wear fluorescent-neon clothing, but they were mismatched with fingerless gloves and towelling socks. You could break dance (ok, you wished!) You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system. You remember M.C. Hammer. You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bell Air".... You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The fresh Prince and NOT just plain Will Smith! You owned cassettes. You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ALF or ET lunchbox. You pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you. You had a Swatch Watch. You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!" You spent hours in the basement building and re- building Lego cities Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go. With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang to Kylie and Jason! If you ever owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines If you ever made Ken fall in love with Barbie. You know what " Psyche" means. Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. You knew that Transformers were "more than meets the eye". You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth. You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good film. You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living in space. You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair. You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. You had to change into play clothes after school. You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box. Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80s" Your arm was full of rubber bracelets. You can still sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine song on Sesame Street. You wore those wide, colourful shoelaces. You still don't like going in the sea because of Jaws. You remember Now compilations that had the pig on the front cover. You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank. Dungeons & Dragons was your favourite programme. You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits of Matt & Luke. Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have featured in your wardrobe You still remember when the A-ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology and you can still sing all the words. Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt. It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas Eve. You remember when 25p was decent pocket money and you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10p. Important decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
