Oh my gosh that is so funny! I also LOVE New Kids and even had tickets to go see them in L.A. but then I had an unexpected move to Guam and sadly they aren't coming here!!! I tried to convince my hubby that $2000 wasn't too much to go home and see them but he didn't agree! :(

Wow. That post brought back some memories. The only one I don't remember is Where's the Beef one. I still haven't been able to figure that one out.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame you give love a bad name.....thanks for the earwig. LoL

I still want to be a goonie!!

I went to bed with "Shot in the Dark" stuck in my head, and couldn't distract my brain from it long enough to sleep for awhile! Wicked Earwig indeed!

I remember some of those things and I was not a child of the 80's, or 70's, or 60's.
So gag me with a spoon girl.
LOL

ps you weren't in the audiance on Monday night's show. LOL

I think it depends how old you were in the 80's to remember some of those.. You did leave out the ever popular Madonna, you were a no one if you didn't have your hair tied up with a colored fish net scarf. Oh my first drivers license picture is classic 80's. Wild crazy hair with the red striped shirt that had the big ruffle down the sides of the buttons and a matching red fish net scarf in my hair! 80's Rock! Is it bad if you not only remember Michael but actually had posters of him in your room? My room was covered with Michael, Rick Springfield (still plan on marrying him) and of course Ponch and John. The only movies I remember going to were Empire Strikes Back and Top Gun, Tom Cruise at his finest. Remember Stir up pants! Loved those, since I have very long legs it was the only way I could get pants long enough. Wear the pants with high scruntchie socks and high top shoes, no one ever knew I was wearing high water pants and I looked totally cool! Since I was a teen during most of the 80's I could go on and on for this topic... My dream car was a Ford EXP or the Ford Escort GT.... Of course the cool rich kids all had T-top camero's or the Pontiac Fiero... Oh those were the days... Now I completely enjoy my mini van!
