    HEMAN , G.I. Joe and Transformers were the only cartoons that mattered.

    MTV was played Videos

    Silk floral shirts were cool, for guys too. (Talking more 70's here)

    Your skin was 8 shades darker in the summer and hair bleached by the sun.

    "Boom boxes" were still cool.

    Members Only jackets were what the cool kids wore.

    You camped outside the record store for New Kids On The Block tickets, you rollerskated to Rick Springfield songs, and in your senior picture your hair is either hot-rolled or scrunched and sprayed out so big that you appear to be about 97% hair. OH...and you had a Panda coin ring and a herringbone gold chain and you wanted to look like Brenda or Kelly from 90210. Hahaha....

    LOL! I remember that! I used to wear 2 pairs of "scrunch socks". They were these big, sweater socks and you'd layer your colors...OVER the tight-rolled jeans, of course!
