Big Mac, Filet o'Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries, Icy Coke, Milk Shake, Sundeas, and Apple Pies!

Mr. T was not my favorite member of the A Team

My favorite game on our ATARI was Pole Position

Favorite Transformer was Bumble Bee

When I wasn't playing with my He Man action figures I was playing with She Ra

I got Michael Jackson's tape Thriller for my 9th birthday

I know why Smurfette was the only female smurf, and there was one other girl smurf, Sassette but she showed up later

I had exactly 12 pairs of leg warmers when I was a kid

Kevin Bacon was hot in Footloose!

OMG! Not so much a 1980's kid, but a teenager-young adult!

I also paired my leg warmers with the Hi-top Reeboks!

I wore my shirts off the shoulder

I had a Cabbage Patch Kid named Derek (Just for the heck of it)

I still have a cassette tape somewhere with 99 red ballons... in german!

I wore fish nets with ankle lace socks and pumps to the disco! (I was 18 in 1981 wink )

I remember when Menudo came about (Ricky Martin joined them around 1986, I think)

I had big hair and carried a can of hairspray!

I went roller - skating every Friday night, ever since I was 7!

My outfit for 1983 New Years eve was a neon lime green skirt and shirt (off the shoulder of course!), with fluorescent orange leaf-shaped earrings and fluorescent orange beads! doh

I wore the jackets with gigantic shoulder pads and long skirts, buttoned up shirt with a brooch at the throat! or a leather necktie!

I could go on, but it would be too embarrasing! blushing
