mc hammer, new kids, british knights (shoes) street hikers, X0 Squad, ninja turtles, ghostbusters, sam kinison, SNL used to be funny, fast times at ridgemont high, breakfast club, fuckin wave hairstyles, dykes with the pat bennatar(sp?) look, AIDS. the 80s sucked imo, long live the 90's.

My fond memories...

- Playing "Smash Up Derby" and losing most of the pieces to the blue beetle
- Roller skating in the basement while listening to Lipp Sync's "Funkytown" on the tape recorder
- Pac Man watches with the miniscule joystick
- Sneakers with calculators and clocks in 'em
- Hiding GI Joe figures in the Xmas tree
- Scaring the shit out of your dog with your AT-AT walker
- Flying those styrofoam WWII planes with the blue plastic props (The North American Mustang owned all)
- Making guns out of 3x3 pieces of wood, elastic bands, and clothes pins
- Watching Buck Rogers and thinking Erin Grey was the hottest woman alive
- Hitting jumps on your sweet Motocross bicycle (ya know, the ones with the gas tank and front/rear shocks? They owned.)
- Playing D&D in your neighbour's basement during an all weekend sleepover
- Watching "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" during said sleepover and giggling at the sex education scene
- Crushing Matchbox dinkies in your Dad's vice.
- Going to the store for $0.01 "Pick-A-Ninny" gum and getting 5 free if you got a yellow one
