Children of the 80’s, identify with any of the following? aaah…the good 'ol days and yes, I did have neon roll-up socks in every colour!
p.s. you might have seen this, but I thought it was quite funny!
Children of the eighties:
You know what “Sike” means.
You know that another name for a keyboard is a “Synthesizer.”
You wore 3-8 different colored socks in layers and thought that the more you wore could wear the cooler you were.
You rolled your socks all the way down to your ankles so that they formed a ring there and thought that looked cool - especially with your Jelly Shoes
You know who Mr. T is.
You actually believed for a minute that K.I. T. T. (The knight rider car) actually was real. And you always wanted a watch that you could talk into that would instantly bring a black sports car to you.
You know who Fat Albert is.
Spin City? You know he’s Alex P. Keaton and Kirk Cameron did have a career.
You even wore fluorescent, neon clothing. This includes Hypercolour (when it was acceptable to say “blow on me”)
You could break dance, or wish you could.
You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.
You Believed that “By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!”
You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.
You watched any or all of the following cartoons: GI Joe, My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears, He-Man, She-Ra, Transformers, Thundercats, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, Voltron, Astro Boy.
You can remember Michael Jackson when he was black.
You wore a banana clip
You actually thought “Dirty Dancing” was a REALLY good movie.
You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system and you owned a Commodore 64
You own any cassettes. - You remember and/or owned any of the Care Bear Glass collection from Pizza Hut
Poltergeist freaked you out.
You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunch box.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.
You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish.
Two words: Acid Wash
You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos.
You know what a “Push Up” ice cream is.
You remember the smaller cans of coke, with the little push holes at the top.

Oh, I yes I remember that, and it wasn't "you fool", it was "you foo"! Murdoch was my favourite though!
I didn't know he died. :(
Street hawk was cool man! But didn't run for long. I wished I had a bike like that....
What about Doctor Who? What about Chips and the Fallguy?
And I kind of remember the logo for the start of the A-Team:
"Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by
a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Today, still
wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a
problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire
the A-Team."
