Maria8475 · 27th September 2002, 05:53 PM

LOL

EmilyH · 27th September 2002, 07:01 PM

I have a Bangles greatest hits CD with "Walk Like an Egyptian" on it.

Also remember playing with My Little Pony & the cartoon, as well as the Care Bears.

I also liked Michael J. Fox in TeenWolf -- classic 80's movie there.

The first computer my family got ran MS-Dos, not Windows, & had a monochrome monitor. At the age of 11 or 12, I learned how to run games in Dos. Also learned how to edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat files...for a kid, that is dangerous knowledge.

keltikkitty · 27th September 2002, 09:20 PM

I'd just like to say one thing.
I loved My little Pony, Doogie houser, The Gremlins, Saved by the bell, Care bears, Transformers, Heathcliff, glow Worm (had one, I wish i knew where), Alvin and the chipmunks, jelly shoes, howard the duck, Punky Brwester, slap bracelets, smurfs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Michealangalo used to be my fav, Now i like leonardo), fraggle Rock, Duck Tales, Blossom (I used to do a very good impression of Joey), The fresh Prince, and Pound puppies. (whew)

Oh jeez :blush: I think I had a "Yes" to about 98% of those. The other 2% is a technichal yes, but a "will not admit under threat of death".

Jelly shoes, Garbage Pail Kids, and slap bracelets--what's worse, us kids that loved 'em or the folks who created them?

I actually wore jelly shoes to sunday school--with my bike shorts under my dress, and my neon pink puffy socks (jelly shoes and puffy socks!!?? My mom actually let me out of the house dressed like that!)

And have we forgotten Vanilla Ice? :dead:

Eway · 28th September 2002, 07:58 AM

I just joined the new Bangles mailing list!

I sent them a recording of the Bangles playing "Walk Like an Egyption" on Dick Clarks Rockin New Years Eve?

nic · 28th September 2002, 11:39 AM

I was born in 1980.
I can still sing the entire theme tune to the Fresh Prince and Ducktales.
