The sun will come out, Tomorrow
Bet you're bottom dollar that, Tomorrow
Come what man, Tomorrow, Tomorrow!
There's always tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow!
It's never more than a day away...

Good song for the economic boom times of the 80's. (if you were rich)

.....If you still have it in you to want to play a rousing game of kick ball in the schoolyard!

- You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played "Sam" to be.

Kacey said:
I actually have no clue what this is referring to... and that's okay with me!

Shame on you...you watched "Cheers", and didn't remember that Ted Danson played Sam?

Swordlady said:
- You know what a "Whammy" is. ("No Whammy, no Whammy, stop!!")

Kacey said:
Huh?

Whammies were the little red...um, things...from the "Press Your Luck" game show. My brothers and I were hopelessly hooked on that show when we were kids. One of my brothers found a downloadable "Press Your Luck" game for PC a few years ago - complete with soundbites from the original show. Kinda fun, actually.

How about Basic for programming. In school plotting it out on paper.

Then, there was the little triangle (turtle), DOS, that would draw for you on Pea green screens....BEEP...SYNTAX ERROR....Damn it! What's wrong!?

That turtle was called LOGO, if I remember correctly.

And good ol' Basic. Computer classes were so much fun. Remember those loops you could do?

Couldn't go to school the next day, and not know what went on.

The A team! Bullets everywhere and nobody got shot.. ever?

That was my favorite show in jr. high. When I moved to California a few years ago, Dwight Schultz, the guy who played "Howlin' Mad Murdock, went to my church. Here I am a 36 year old guy acting like a 13 year old kid.

He's a genuinely nice guy & is a heck of a lot smarter than he ever let on on THAT show!

- You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.
- You wanted to be on StarSearch. (Come on, we all did)

- You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth.
- You wore french rolls on the bottom of your splatter painted jeans.
- You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once.
- You owned a doll with "Xavier Roberts" signed on it's butt.
- You knew what Arnold was "talkin' 'bout."
- You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."
- You can remember watching "Full House" and "Saved by the Bell" for endless hours.
- You have seen at least 10 episodes of "Fraggle Rock".
- You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer."
- You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."
- You know where to go if you "wanna go where everybody knows your name."
- You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an 80's movie she WASN'T in?)
- You know what "Sike" means.
- You fell victim to 80's fashion: big hair, crimped, combed over to the side, and you wore spandex pants
- You wanted to be a Goonie ("Goonies never say die.")
- You've heard of Garbage Pail Kids.
- You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."
- You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played "Sam" to be.
- You ever wore flourescent-neon if you will clothing...(or nailpolish)
- You could breakdance, or wished you could.
- You know who Max Headroom is.
- You know all the words to "ice ice baby".

- You know what a "Whammy" is. ("No Whammy, no Whammy, stop!!")
- Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.

Some of the stuff I removed- too young to actually do/ remember. I had the original nintendo, my brothers had some sort of Atarti- but I can't remember the models. I could never decide which corey I liked, and me and 2 friends would "fight" over which NKOTB we were going to marry! Sad- I know, I'll admit it...

I remember the "just say no" campaign. Challenger, it was cool to tie a corner of your t-shirt in a knot... I'll think of more...
