The 80's

If the Mass Bar folks are going to post the results today, the least they could do is be nice and post them at 9 AM today. But no.

So in the meantime, here's a list I stole from Chris because I'm so in an 80's mood, what with my Fashion Plates nostalgia and all.

1. You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.
Yes, but only because of peer pressure. And because Jon seemed so nice. He was the quiet, misunderstood one.

2. You wanted to be on StarSearch.
Of course.

3. You ever uttered the word “Radical!”
Probably. Most likely "Rad," though.

4. You wore jelly shoes and jelly bracelets
I LOVED my jelly shoes and had piles of jelly bracelets.

5. You thought “Ghostbusters” was by far the coolest movie
I don't know if it was THE coolest, but it was up there.

6. You remember watching shows like “Punky Brewster” , “Webster”, “You Can’t Do That On Television” , “Wild&Crazy Kids” and “Double Dare”
Yes. Jenn in Santa Cruz and I share a passion for Alistair from "You Can't Do That On Television."

7. 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.
Yes. Poor Michael. He used to look like a human being. Even with the freaky Thriller eyes.

8. You wore a banana clip in your hair or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth.
I definitely had a few banana clips.

9. You rolled up the bottoms of your splatter painted jeans.
Um, I rolled, but they weren't splatter painted.

10. You wore loafers with everything, and you put the laces in those little rolls.
No

11. You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once.
Absolutely!

12. You owned a doll with ‘Xavier Roberts’ signed on it’s butt.
Yes, Inga Sallie. I got her Christmas of 1983 when I had the chicken pox.

13. You knew what Willis was “talkin’ ’bout.”
Yes.

14. You know the profound meaning of “Wax on, Wax off.”
Yes. As well as how to do the crane move.

Probably all of them actually.

16. You can remember watching Full House and Saved by the Bell for endless hours!
Oh yes!

Dance your cares away,
Worries for another day.
Let the music play,
Down at Fraggle Rock.

Totally! I thought Claudia and Stacy were cool, but realized that in reality I was probably most like Mary Ann.

19. You sat on your back porch, playing with your “My Little Pony” , “Rainbow Brite” , and “Strawberry Shortcake” dolls
I never had Rainbow Brite, but I was all about the My Little Ponies and Strawberry Shortcake. To prove what a child of the 80's I am: I had a Strawberry Shortcake Atari game.

26. You wanted to be a Goonie, or Elliot from E.T.
Goonies!!!

27. You owned an extensive collection of Cabbage Patch Kids and trolls.

28. You knew “The Artist” when he was humbly called “Prince.”
Yes
