    The Madonna "Like a Virgin" performance at the MTV awards was scandalous (not to sound old, but now we're lucky if they wear clothes)

    The original Rocky,Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies
    Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?

    Your first cell phone (called a car phone back then) weighed about 5 pounds and was the size of a brick and there was no "text messaging" on it

    Underoos & Garanimals for those of us who were fashion challenged

    And like, gag me with a spoon, like it was like totally awesome and radical to like talk like a valley girl. Grody to the max!

    In your sophomore class picture, you're wearing a shirt with the collar "up".
    You ever asked to be gagged with a spoon.
    You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool.

    You owned a Clacker and hit yourself in the head with it at least once. :)

    YES!!!! I eventually got mine stuck in a tree, I think it hung there all summer (because my parents were happy it couldn't make noise there)!

    I've not read all so apologies if repeats but....

    A UK child of the 80's was just not cool without a harrington jacket...

    Dr Martens with leggings under ra-ra skirts...

    Sony walkmans, all the richer cool kids had one (i'm sure they were about £60-100 quid when they came out over here!)
