I love being born in the 80s

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

[skybytch 273]

I remember almost the entire list... anyone else remember "where's the beef?"

Check out this website for some fun "flashbacks" to the 80's or whatever decade you grew up in. The first time I went on this site it made me laugh so hard because it brought back so many funny memories about toys and tv shows etc...

I loved that lady. Her name was Clara Pellar and she became an instant star from that ad campaign. My favorite commercial was the one when she was kicking ass in her car with her friends in the back seat sliding all over the place.

you forgot chuck taylor all stars. and a different colored chuck on each foot.

owned, all of the garbage pail kids first series

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

I personally didn't compile the list - it was an email that sent to me at work. But, that definitely should have made the list. Or, wearing two socks on each foot, but, different alternating colors like Punky Brewster!

I was im'ing a certain smart-mouthed dz.commer the other night and mentioned that I graduated from high school in '83. She said that she graduated nursery school that year. Those young whipper-snappers, they need to learn to respect their elders!

Actually, not the same person. Clara Peller ("Where's the beef") only had fame in the commercials; Anne Ramsey (actress in "Train") actually was pretty well known long before.

Wendy W.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
