You know you grew up in the 80s if...

Gawd I still play Oregon trail! I have the version where you can hunt...now THAT's fun folks...hehe...
 
Oregon trail...
You are a settler on a journey into the dangerous, unknown heart of the young USA...plagued by sickness, indian attacks, weather, broken wagon wheels....you must ensure as many of your party survive until you reach your destination. You choose your profession before you start...will you be a doctor? to help heal the sick along the way? A Blacksmith so you can mend wheels? How much of each supply should you bring? Are bullets more important than say...flour? what will you buy or trade along the way?
 
In short it was and is a GREAT game []

OMG. ALL of these apply to me. Very, very scary. I was born in 75. *sings* Shot through the heart...

32. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

I knew that didn't look right!  The actual name of the song is 'You give love a bad name'  Dangit!  Now I have the song stuck in my head!  [8D]

LOL!!!![sm=rotfl.gif][sm=rotfl.gif][sm=rotfl.gif]I rember all of that and than some!
40. you wore one of your jean overalls legs rolled up to your knee
41. you had graffidee on your jeans
42. you had a gem and she-ra doll
43. you used to say "all that and a bag of chips!"
44. you used to eat homeboy/homegirl chips
45. You had bangs teased up to the sky

OK every one of those was me. (yes proud of it) The 80's rocked.  Cartoons today suck. I remember going to the store and getting a bag of chips, a glass bottle of pop and a "chunky" all for $1.15. You can't even buy a pop for that now. Oh and returning the pop bottle for another "chunky" LOL

i bet hairspray companies made at least a million off my aunt in the eighties, you could not breathe in the bathroom for at least 10 minutes after she was done doing her hair.

....dies laughing............ Sadly they all describe me. I just had a conversation with a co-worker today, and we discussed this very thing. Namely the rolled pants. We also pinned ours with safety pins. Not being able to find a safety pin in the morning could bring on a flood of tears, which would then ruin my blue eyeliner.
 
I had PJ's that said "Wheres the Beef" complete with the Wendy's logo. I had forgot all about the MASH game until today......

I was born in 1987,

 
That was the year I got married to my first wife. I was 23 at the time.
 

I graduated High School in '86

 
And I graduated from L.V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Tx. on May 25, 1982.
 

"Shot through the heart,
And you're to blame.
Darling, you give love
A bad name."
 
Bon Jovi.
 
Here's one that takes me back.
 
"Well I stood on a ridge and
Shunned religion
Thinking that world was mine.
 
Well, I made my break and a
Big mistake.
Stealin' when I should have been buyin'."
 
Uriah Heep.

 ("Where's the beef?" and  "I've fallen and I can't get up") but I don't have any idea where they came from.

 
"Where's the beef?" is a [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_phrase]catch phrase[/link] limited to certain parts of the [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States]United States[/link] and [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada]Canada[/link]. Since its first usage, it has become an all-purpose phrase questioning the substance of an idea, event or product.
It came to public attention in a [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s]1980s[/link] [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US]US[/link] [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_commercial]television commercial[/link] created by [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Sedelmaier]Joe Sedelmaier[/link] as part of [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saatchi_%26_Saatchi]Dancer, Fitzgerald, Sample's[/link] [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_food_advertising]fast food advertising[/link] campaign for the [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy%27s]Wendy's[/link] chain of [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger]hamburger[/link] restaurants. In the ad, titled "Fluffy Bun", elderly actress [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Peller]Clara Peller[/link] receives a competitor's burger with a massive bun (the competitor's slogan was "Home of the Big Bun"). The small patty prompts the gruff Peller to angrily exclaim "Where's the [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef]beef[/link]?" The humorous ad and Peller's memorable character soon gave the catch-phrase a life of its own, and it was repeated in countless TV shows, films, magazines, and other media outlets.
First airing on [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_10]January 10[/link], [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984]1984[/link], "Fluffy Bun" featured three elderly ladies examining an exaggeratedly huge hamburger bun topped with a minuscule hamburger patty: the other two ladies poked it, exchanging bemused comments: "It certainly is a big bun." "It's a big fluffy bun", before being interrupted by Peller's outraged, irascible demand. Sequels featured Peller yelling at a Fluffy Bun executive on his yacht over the phone, and coming up to drive up windows at multiple fast food restaurants that would be slammed down before she could complete the line. -from Wikipedia
 
"I've fallen and I can't get up" - This line was spoken in a television commercial for a medical alarm and protection company called LifeCall, in ads that began running in approximately 1989. The motivation behind these medical alarm systems is that many [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_citizen]senior citizens[/link] today live at home alone, and may find themselves suddenly in medical danger with no one (and no phone) nearby to help them. The product addressed this concern by providing its subscribers with a small pendant, worn around the wrist or neck; when needed, the wearer presses the button on it, and he or she is immediately put into contact with a dispatcher who can send a paramedic, fireman, or other emergency assistance.
The TV advertisement featured, in part, a fictional elderly lady named "Mrs. Fletcher" who has fallen, with her walker, in the bathroom.
On its face, the commercial illustrates a serious situation for a senior with dire consequences (elderly people with no one to care for them may fall in their homes and be on the floor for hours or even days, unable to get help).
The "I've fallen and I can't get up" ad had the double misfortune of being unintentionally [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_%28style%29]campy[/link] and appearing often on cable and daytime television. The combination made "I've fallen... and I can't get up!" a recognized, universal punchline that applied to many comedic situations. All of these factors made the ad memorable, ensuring the line's place in pop culture history; it was voted one of TV Land's top 20 catch phrases of all time [[linkcitation>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources]citation needed[/link]].
According to the [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office]United States Patent and Trademark Office[/link], after first applying in October 1990, LifeCall registered the phrase "I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up" as a [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark]trademark[/link] in September 1992 until its status was cancelled in 1999. [linkhttp://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=74108242][1][/link] In October 2002, the similar phrase "Help, I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up!" became a registered trademark of [linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Alert]Life Alert[/link] Emergency Response, Inc. [linkhttp://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76233401][2][/link], and is currently used on their website as well as in their commercials [linkhttp://www.lifealert.com/][3][/link]. -from Wikipedia

Ok I was born in 1987 and WAY too many of those applied to me. Probably because my older brother is 10 years older then me so when I was like 6 I was also in love with Fresh Prince of Bel Air And Blosson and Yup I had jelly shoes, but actually they were sandals.
 
And I was in love with Zach from Saved by the Bell, I actually thought I'd someday marry him.[]

Probably because my older brother is 10 years older then me

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. My sisters are 6, 9 and 10 years older than me, they were definitely 80's kids. I was born in 88, so not so much, but most of those apply to me too. Stupid siblings! []

My younger cousin, who was born in Sept. 89, and is the oldest of her siblings, sent this list to me a few months ago. I was like "WTF, you are definitely NOT an 80's child!" Good grief. Just because she was just barely born in the 80's... [8D]
 
Oh oh, and I DO think Doogie Howser is hot, although he's now Barney, from How I Met Your Mother. [] I like Josh Radnor (Ted) better though...

You do know Doogie came out recently...not that there's anything wrong with that.

My best friend had the hots for Greg Louganis when we were kids and we always teased her that he was gay (before he came out) and she never believed us....oh,we used to torture her!  Too funny!

PHOOEY on Doogie and Greg...lol...everyone knows the hottest man out there in the late 80's was RICHARD GRIECO from 21 Jump Street...haha. Did that show pack in the beefcake or whut? Mind you I did NOT like being told "you look like Holly Robinson" for like...the entire 1990's tho...ugh.
