likethebeer1. How old were you in 1980?
11-12
2. How old were you in 1989?
20-21

I know I wanted to be, but I don't think my parents had the money to shop there too much.
4. Did you watch Transformers?
No.
5. Did you see E.T. on the big screen?
Funny - I can't remember.
6. Did you own a Lite Brite?
Yes.
7. Who is your favorite Golden Girl?
Never watched the show enough to ever know the names.
8. When someone says "Who you gonna call?" you think?
Oh, come on! Hopefully I won't have the Ghostbusters theme song going through my head for the rest of the day.
9. What was your favorite toy?
Peoples (Fisher Price little people), barbies, and legos.
10. Did you have a Pogo Ball?
I don't know what that is.
11. Did you listen to New Kids on the Block?
No.
12. What New Kid did you have a crush on?
Missed that one. I had a crush on Sting in 1982.
13. Did you play M.A.S.H?
No. Didn't know that was any sort of game (maybe the person who made up the meme played that as a kid)
14. Did you watch The Care Bears?
No, I was too old.
15. Did you have jelly bracelets?

16.Did you ever own a slap bracelet?
No. Don't know what that is.
17. The Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles?
Breakfast Club. 3 times in a week. Everyone said I was like the Ally Sheedy character (is that surprising? I don't think so).
18. Did you have a crazy hair style?
Being a Catholic school kid, there were rules on what you could do to your hair. When I got to college, I did a "shaved in the back, blond, short-and-sticking up" hairstyle, when I was 19.
19. What was your first bike?
Definitely a handmedown with a banana seat.
20. Name one thing you still own from your childhood?
My security blanket.
21. Did you have a Cabbage Patch Kid?
No.
22. Rainbow Brite or Strawberry Shortcake?
Um, no I was too old.
23. Did you watch Miami Vice?
I think I checked it out once, but my parents didn't watch it and we only watched 1 tv at prime time.
24. Did you own a Trapper Keeper?
Oh! The super-duper school binder! No, I think I was too shy to ask my mom to buy me one.
25. Atari or Nintendo?
Atari.
26. Did you play Pac-Man?
Yes. My sister's goal was to try to get as few points as possible (we had it on a computer at home, so she wasn't killing quarters).
27. Which was better: Jem and The Holograms or Barbie and The Rockers?
I don't know what that question is about.
28. He-Man or She-Ra?
I missed that series.
29. What movie scared you the most?
Nightmare on Elm Street. Sometimes I'm driving at night and still remember the absolute fear I had driving home the night I first saw that movie. "I'm your boyfriend NOW, Lisa!" (that's actually one of the least scary things - at least by that time, you kind of know this is going on in people's dreams).
30. Did you try to dance like Michael Jackson?
Moonwalk, totally. I remember my freshman English teacher talking aobut it that Monday, but you know what? I wasn't watching that program.
31. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "flux capacitor"?
I was JUST thinking about flux capacitors the other day.
Anyway, I think of Doc turning around w/that crazy look on his face.
32. What other colors did Pepsi come in?
No idea.
33. Roger Rabbit or Howard The Duck?
Roger Rabbit. That opening cartoon sequence was one of the funniest things I'd seen in years (and I would like to see it).

Whatever....

No.
36. Do you know why people cringe when they hear the word BUCKNER?
No.
37. Can you name the family members from the National Lampoon's Vacation movies?
No. I'm scarred by the idea of Chevy Chase eating a sandwich soaked in dog piss.
38. Did you have pump sneakers?
No. I think my middle sister did.
39. Did you own HYPER COLOR shirts?
Hyper color - I think my friend, DDD, had matching hyper color shaker sweater & socks combos in yellow, green, and orange. How cool is that! Oh, and I had fingerless lace gloves at that time. I envied my friends hyper color outfits.
40. Did you watch Smurfs?
