Which means that you must not remember none of the above ^^^

[jman3000]

You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at
school.

Oregon Trail was more like '91 for me ... but having my entire family kicking the bucket from Yellow Fever before I hit Plymouth Rock was very traumatizing.

80s Bon Jovi kicked ass. I have several songs on my iPod.

[CuckingFunt]

So what if I'm almost 30. Rub it in, why don't you?

Sheesh!

[Jekka]

Slap bracelets were the !! So were Ducktales, and the scented Strawberry Shortcake dolls (the new Strawberry Shortcake sucks ass).

I used to put people I didn't like into my Oregon Trail wagon and then purposefully try to kill them. It was my 2nd and 3rd grade catharsis. (actually, I found Oregon Trail online a couple years ago and did the same things again ...)

mean little 7 or 8 year old.

[Melmart1]

I used to go hunting and try to see if I could aim at the wagon instead of the deer. I also purposely picked poisonous berries to see what would happen.

[katyon6th]

Tight rolled your jeans ... hahahahahahaha. I totally tried doing that. I could never get it just right. Damn.

My favorite item of clothing growing up was a pair of spandex capris with one pant leg in a vertical striped pattern and the other leg had polka dots ... in neon. Imagine those with me in pig tails and a t-shirt that said "2 Cool 4 School". I had style, you don't even know.

And NKOTB.

[kingsfan]

I loved 80's music, still do but the rest I'd rather forget

[Jekka]

Hey, was it 80's or early nineties when girls used to wear flannel button down shirts with shorts?

Or was that just me and my friends?

[Silver21_Black20]

Hey, was it 80's or early nineties when girls used to wear flannel button down shirts with shorts?

Uh...

Or was that just me and my friends?

I think that was just you and your friends.

[angel_luv]

Uh...



I think that was just you and your friends.

We always were too cool.

Denim shorts, btw.

[Kori Ellis]

In highschool, we used to wear men's boxer shorts with white t-shirts and Converse Hi-tops. It was very trendy. I'm not sure what kind of statement it was making, but now that I think back on it, I can't believe we got away with wearing men's boxers to school.

[Das Texan]

anyone remember hypercolor shirts?

[Silver21_Black20]

We always were too cool.

Denim shorts, btw.

I guess the reason why I never heard of that trend was cause I was never cool Come to think of it, I'm still not cool

[Das Texan]

what a fun era i grew up in.


its really interseting, i was right before the internet era, so i talk to people a couple years younger than me and i'm like...ya we didnt have email when i was in high school. unfortunate as i lost contact with a ton of guys i knew back then, that if we had been in the internet age a year or two sooner, i probably keep in touch with over the years.

*shrugs*

[SA Gunslinger]

You either wore part or a combination of the following; OP tees, Jordache jeans, Kaepa shoes, feathered hair, and the comb sticking out of the back pocket.

I confess I did wear the OP tees.
