Stolen from illustrae...
Not actually a quiz... but she put comments... I'll put my own. And it's fun... I actually get pissed off at the list by the end.
You Know You Grew Up In The 80's or Early 90's
If:
1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "SIKE"! (And know that even in the Fresh Prince scripts, it has always been "psych," as in short for "psych-out." Sike came about because most teens couldn't spell nor fathom anything with a silent "p.")
2. You watched the Pound Puppies. (Avoided it like the plague!)
3. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Belair" and can do the "Carlton". (Who can't? Well... I can't, nor want to do, the Carlton.
4. Girls wore biker shorts under their [see-thru chiffon] skirts and felt stylishly sexy. (I lived in Vermont... that fashion will probably be here next week.)
5. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own. (C'mon. No.)
6. You owned those lil' Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls. (I liked that Bigfoot thing.)
7. You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom (Having no cable, I had the plot and characters for all NBC shows memorized, so yes.)
8. Two words: Hammer Pants! (This must have been written by someone either not in the know, or too young to remember themselves. They're called parachute pants... and once again, I lived in Vermont, so arrival of early 90s fashion is imminent.)
9. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock" (Creepy ass shit.)
10. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars... "spokey-dokes" or playing cards on your spokes for that incredible sound effect (Neither. I had "Knight Rider" style hubcaps on my bike. Bigtime cool.)
11. You can sing the entire theme song to "DuckTales" (Woo ooh!) (Easily.)
12. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. (Oh hells yeah. They don't really show "saturday morning cartoons" anymore it seems, unless you watch Cartoon Network.)
13. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head. (Saw it, but didn't grow a ponytail at all until the late-90s.)
14. You saw the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the big screen...and still know the turtles names. (A few times in fact.)
15. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school. (Every day was Oregon Trail Day.)
16. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side. (No.)
17. You played the game "MASH" (Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House) (Wow. Got me. Never even heard of it.)
18. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it. (Nope.)
19. L.A. Gear....need I say more? (That did leak into Fairlee... and sucked.)
20. You wanted to change your name to "JEM" (She's truly outrageous.) (No. I wanted to be Voltron.)
21. You remember reading "Tales of a fourth grade nothing" and all the Ramona books. (Yup.)
22. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF" (People don't?)
23. You wanted to be a Goonie. (Rocky Road?)
24. You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us... head-to-toe) (I had a T-shirt, windbreaker, and pants.)
25. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted. (Oh, yeah. That talented black guy that got all the ladies.)
26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf. (Ponder? What is there to ponder? She was manufactured by Gargamel. Smurfs arrive by stork, once in a blue moon. And she wasn't the only female Smurf. She was the first. There was also Sassete, the child Smurf created by the bored kid Smurfs (de-aged by Father Time's Clock) who were board. They wanted Smurfette to have a friend, but Smurfette was made in a human pot, not a small Smurf one. So Sassette was small. Don't fuckin' JOKE about me and Smurfs, motherfucker. You know jack up in dis.)
27. You took lunch boxes to school... and traded Garbage Pail kids in the schoolyard. (Yup.)

31. Barbie and the Rockers was your favorite band. (Poseurs compared to Jem.)
32. You thought She-ra (Princess of Power!) and He-Man should hook up. (Um, no. Unless you were either a sick fuck or didn't watch the shows, you would know this was bad. Unless you were from the south. Dipshit.)
33. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets. (I recieved one of those once. Shit means nothing. She's gone now.)
