If you know what the Flux copacitor is.

Most wanted cars of the 80's would have to be
the Delorean and of course Knight Rider.

I actually saw a DeLorean downtown. I was waiting at the bus stop to go to UTSA (from UTSA Downtown) and there was DeLorean passing by on Commerce Street. An actual DeLorean, I was laughing...couldn't believe I saw it. It was smaller than I thought it would be.

they may have been around since the 60's, but i wasn't...not til '74 anyway, so by the time i got to play with them, it was 1980, thus, for me...an 80's toy. :tu

hell yeah I grew up in the 80's! Those were the days...


I was born in '82 but I remember some of this stuff. The 80s had some great cartoons too...Thundercats, Sherah Princess of Power, Rainbow Brite, Carebears, Smurfs...
I'm trying to collect those old toys. I gave away all my old toys when I was younger and some of them my older sister has and won't give them back. :( But this guy I work with collects alot of that old stuff too and he just sold me a care bears collection a week ago. He kept telling me, you know they are the originals because they have the strand of hair on the top of their heads and the new ones have the molded hair. SOLD! :lol I saw a Smurfs doll today he sold to someone else and it is sooo old. I wanted it. He's bringing me Jem dolls tomorrow to take a look at to buy. I'll more than likely get em, I'm a sucker for that old stuff!


ok all those who feel as old as i...lets go out and do all the things we used to do as kids...i just need to be back by 9pm cause if i dont get at least 9 hrs of sleep im a bear in the morning...oh yeah i cant forget to bring along my multi-vitamin...and some ben gay just incase i sprain sumthin.

I didn't even think of selling that stuff! I used to have the Jem doll (the pink hair!!!) and a few stuffed Carebears. OH and some Sherah action figures...man I bet I could make a killing on EBAY! Hopefully my mom put that stuff in storage.

Yeah, he was getting ready to put the dolls up on Ebay himself but heard I was interested. Those things do sell for a lot. I paid close to 30 bucks for the collection and a suitcase he had. My paychecks are just going back to him. lol Put your stuff on ebay and lemme know about it! ;)

41. You were in love with all the members from Duran Duran

I actually hung out with one of the members of Duran Duran. When Andy Taylor left the band back in '86, he was on a solo tour promoting his first album and a local station here tipped off listeners that he was going to be over at Country Lanes by the airport. So me and my friend headed on over there and we managed to get an autograph and bowl a few frames.

Since we're on an 80's flashback here...anyone remember Pat McGees? Or Chess King?

1. You've ever ended a sentence with theword "SIKE."

(Actually, the word is PSYCH! but I suppose I won't get picky here)

2. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and can do the"Carlton."
8. L.A.Gear....need I say more?

(Even more profound were the L.A. Lights. They really should make these available to adults now. I'd buy a pair in a heartbeat)

9. You remember reading "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and all the Ramona Quimby books.
10. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON,WAX OFF."
11. You ever wore fluorescent clothing.(some of us...head-to-toe).
12. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted.
13. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.
15. After you saw "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" you kept saying "I know you are,but what am I?"
16. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up."
18. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide.
19. You have played with a Skip-It.
20. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonalds.
21. You've gone through this nodding your head in agreement.
22. "Don't worry, be happy."
25. You remember boom boxes.
26. You remember Alf, the li'l furry brown alien from Melmac.
27. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool.
32. You remember when mullets were cool!
34. You still sing "We are theWorld."
36. You owned a banana clip.
37. You remember "Where's the Beef?"
38. You used to (and probably still do) say "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

I only got 5 short years of 80s-time, and I am still guilty of all of these.
