Here's my little version of:

You know you SCREWED up in the 80s, when...

- Your mom told your barber to cut your hair in such a way to leave that little tail growing in the back

- You watched Pee-Wee's playhouse all the time and you can't help but to connect the dots "la-la-la-la"

- You had too many POP ROCKS and now your digestive system is all out of wack

- You bought all your favorite movies on BETA right before they came out with VHS players

- You always used the NINTENDO robot as the second player and now you have no friends

- You got interested in your cousin's 8086 just a little too late, which caused you to be a little less knowledgable when the internet started to get big, which resulted in you not purchasing "business.com" as a domain name in time, and ultimately ended up with you losing out on millions of dollars.

- You used the word "radical" too much and now it occasionally slips in everyday conversation and everyone looks at you like you're a retard.

- You threw away your multi-colored collection of ALL-STARS and now they're "in" again

- You didn't try harder not to let your mom throw away those Garbage Pail Kids cards

- You'd hesitate using the words "I don't know" and "water" in fear of being drenched with something from the sky

- You let Uncle Lou put you on his lap, and now you're in therapy

- You used the POGO BALL so much that you now have chronic shin pain

- You wouldn't stop biting your nails when your mom told you, and now you chew them down to the bone because you couldn't cut the habit in time

- You wore those super tight jeans and now you're at risk of a low sperm count

- Your friends said that you couldn't jump off the 17th step and now you have a scar on you forehead to prove them wrong.

- you wouldn't do anything else but play Leisure Suit Larry 1 because it was the closest thing you had to porn

umm.. ok.. that's enough... sorry everyone, but this is just my way of procrastinating from studying for finals... and as always... if anyone else has some studying to put off, please, feel free to add on to the list!

Does anyone remember PUMP shoes? I think they were made by Reebok or Ridell. I always wanted them, but my parents were too cheap.

Ya, I was going to say... I just saw some pumps at a store last week. They are still here.

You really know you screwed up in the 80's if your parole is coming up in 2005.

Garbage Pail Kids were the best!
