I guess I was at my coolest in the 80's having graduated in 81 and spending the next several years in college. You mean it's not cool to scrunch your socks anymore? I know it's not but, I HAVE to do it!

Gag me with a chainsaw, Veronica! I did EVERY ONE (OK - except the mullet!!)

Jordan was my favorite New Kid - I got into him after being totally in love w/Ritchie Sambora!!! This list was dead on! I didn't even know anyone else did Oregon Trails in school - that was cool to remember! And the MASH game too - I remember that!!! I have so many pictures of me in my aip-ankle jeans w/my scrunchie socks OVER them! Of course you also had to have the striped jeans or flower jeans too! And blue mascara!!! And remember the cologne Electric Youth??? I really liked that one - when I wasn't wearing Malibu Musk or Exclamation!

Thanks for the hilarious memories!

Wow. Those are awesome!
I had forgotten about M.A.S.H.! I used to love that.
And oh yes--fluorescent EVERYTHING. I remember neon pink and green shoelaces that I thought were "jammin'".
Jellies! They were so cool back then, but they weren't very durable, were they?
So, I wasn't the only one to hurt myself on a slip-n-slide?
Oh my gosh! I still watch all the "Saved By The Bell" reruns. : )
And how many banana clips did I have? Wow.
Tight rolling--LOL. Wonder when that'll come back?
And yes spiral perms and banana clips!

I so remember all of those!! Between me and my best friend, we covered every last one of those at some point! My sis used to watch 3 episodes of Saved By the Bell... only 'cause the 4th one came on at the same time as the second (but on the channel of the 3rd).
