1980's Information
Hold on to your shoulder pads because you've still got a third of the way to go as you explore a11 101 ways to know if you're from (or stuck in the 80's.) If some one hit wonder sent you to the wrong page causing you to skip the other parts of the 1980's list, start here at The 1980's .
If you've already enjoyed the first two pages packed with 80's facts and 80's fun, then you know the rest of the list will be more fun than watching Knight Rider and Thirtysomething combined!
80's Then ... 80's Now ... 80's Forever
Here are the final ways to prove that you'll never let your favorite decade go. You know you're from (or hoplessly devoted to) the 1980's if...
71. You started dancing lessons after watching either Flashdance, Footloose, or Dirty Dancing (probably on HBO, Preview, or Starcase) for the fifteenth time.
72. You wanted to go Back to the Future (or anywhere else) with Michael J. Fox.
73 .You know Mr. T as an action star on The A-Team, not as star of his own reality show called I Pity The Fool on TV Land. (Major bonus points if you also know that his real name is Laurence Tureaud.)
74. You saw Harrison Ford in all three Indiana Jones movies in the theaters the first time they came out and you brought your kids to see the fourth one!
75. You know that Nicole Kidman was Tom Cruise's second wife. (Mimi Rogers was his first one.)
76. You've seen a Teddy Ruxpin (the talking teddy bear) in action.
77. You've walked like an Egyptian thanks to The Bangles song.
78. You know that ALF stands for Alien Life Form.
79. You watched Jem and the Holograms.
80. You know there was only one way Dorothy on the Golden Girls could make Sophia behave. She simply said, "Shady Pines, Ma, Shady Pines."
81. You loved the opposite sketches and green slime on You Can't Do That On Television.
82. You hear a strange noise in the middle of the night and decide to call Ghostbusters.
83. You went to concerts for "new" bands that later broke up and are now already on reunion tours.
84. Listening to your neighbor's phone conversations on your first ever cordless phone was one of your favorite activities.
85. Saturday mornings meant cartoons and wrestling, not teen live action comedies.
86. Skippy was a character in Family Ties not a reality show contestant on Last Comic Standing.
87. You learned your Facts of Life from Blair, Jo, Natalie, Tootie, and Mrs. Garrett.
88. You wished your babysitter was either Charles in Charge or that you could go on some Adventures in Babysitting with Elisabeth Shue.
89. The highlight of your television viewing season was the annual Dynasty catfight between Joan Collins (Alexis) and Linda Evans (Krystal).
90. You couldn't escape those Wendy's commercials with Clara Peller asking, "Where's the Beef?"
91. You've actually tasted New Coke. Extra points if you wrote to Coca-Cola and insisted they bring back the original formula.
92. At last one of your school pictures has your shirt collar turned up and your shirttails pulled out.
93. Before you got cable and MTV, it was waiting for Friday Night Videos that got you through the week.
94. You remember when there was no such thing as CNN, E!, or MTV.
95. You couldn't wait to find out if the stuff in George Orwell's book 1984 was going to come true in 1984.
96. You've seen every minute of any of the following TV miniseries: Shogun, The Thorn Birds, North and South, North and South, Book II, A.D., V: The Original, V: The Final Battle, Winds of War, War and Remembrance, or Centennial.
97. You remember when you got your long distance service from MCI, AT & T, or Sprint.
98. You used to listen to Menudo even though you'd never admit it now.
99. You've seen every movie "the two Corey's" (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman) made together and you recently watched the E! True Hollywood story about "the two Corey's." (If you didn't see it, now you're upset that you missed it.)
100. Every time you a see a bunny, you still think of that shocking scene in Fatal Attraction.
101. The ultimate proof you're from (or stuck in) the 1980's? You read through this entire list!
