Guilty of most of these, except the mullet. I would never go that far!:rotfl: Thanks for sharing!
 

I totally forgot about the MASH game until now... That brings up alot of memories! Thanks!!
 
/
:rotfl2: I remember this.except for the mullet , and well technically we didnt have a slip and slide, we had a sheet of visquine, 4 rocks to hold down the corners and soap to make it slippery :rotfl2:
 
I never had a mullet and dont know what Magic vs the Bird, but besides that I am guilty of every other one of those....and singing the theme to Ducktales in my head
DUCKTALES WOOHOO! Tales of daring do bad and good luck tales, woohoo, lol..

Anyone remember Rescue Rangers?
 
*Sigh* Thanks for making me feel old again! :rotfl2:

Although, there ARE things on there I don't know (which actually makes me feel older I think! :lmao: )

Of course my DD likes watching Hannah Montana and the "What'cha talking about Willis?" line was used in there. I was cracking up, DD just thought I had lost my mind. It was a phrase that stuck in our family so we STILL use it.

Then again, I love to give her a hard time because she will be singing some "cool new song" and I just start singing along which annoys her to death because her "new" songs are remakes of songs I know. Have to love the internet because then I PROVE to her that they are NOT original songs (for all I know my versions aren't the originals either). Makes her so mad.
 
dont know what Magic vs the Bird,

I'm not 100% sure either but my first thought was basketball. Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird but I could be completely wrong. I don't even know if Larry Bird was a basketball player but that is what popped into my head when I saw those names.
 
Guilty of a lot of those. The one that really stood out was #5 The Babysitters Club. My friends and I were convinced it was going to work. It never did of course.
 
Ahh, I still sometimes pretend I'm Stacey from the Baby-Sitter's Club [=
 
...how 'bout THIS one:

You owned a "Members Only" jacket.......in MORE than one color......:lmao:
 
54. You know all the words to Bon Jovi -
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

55. You just sang those words to
yourself.


66. You're still singing shot through
the heart in your head, aren't you!

Too funny! LOL I really laughed out loud when I read #66... Because I was still singing it in my head! :lmao:

What a great list!
 
One thing I would've added was ...

You wore legwarmers over your jeans.... I still love legwarmers! I hear they are on their way back!!

I also see girls wearing leggings under their skirts. It's only a matter of time until they start wearing bicycle shorts again!!
 
guilty of about 85-90% of those. ahhhh how i loved being born in 87 and growing up in the 90's! and hahaha now i have "shot through the heart" stuck in my head! :lmao: :lmao:
