Sorry, I just had to....I think there's still a few of us around.....
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A CHILD OF THE 70'S IF .....
1. You wore anything Izod, especially those wind breakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist.
2. In your sophomore class picture, you're wearing an Izod shirt with the collar up.
3. You know, by heart, the words to a Weird Al Yankovic song.
4. You know them meaning of these three words, "Atari", "Apple", "Pong."
5. You thought "Weird Science" was a masterpiece.
6. You remeber 'Friday Night Videos" before the days of MTV.
7. While in high school, you and all of your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play "1999" by Prince over and over.
8. You took family trips BEFORE the invention of mini-vans.
9. You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you in the "tail gunner" position.OMG, this is so me - we used to fight over that seat
10. You actually know who Rick Springfield is.
11. You remember with pain the sad day when the Green Machine hit the streets and made your old Big Wheel obsolete.
12. You remember when film critics raved that no movie could ever possibly get better special effects than those in the movie Tron.
13. For the girl crazy bunch: Your first sexual dream occurred to thoughts of Jeannie, Marsha Brady, of Samantha from Bewitched.
14. For the boy crazy bunch: You thought Sean Cassidy was "dreamy," lusted after "ted, your ships photographer" on the Love Boat and Chachi.
15. You ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon.
16. You rememeber when there was only "G. PG and R" rated movies.
17. You learned to swim about the same time Jaws came out and still carry the emotional scars to this day.
18. You ever wanted to learn to play "Stairway To Heaven" on the guitar.
19. You know all the words to the double album set of Grease.
20. You ever used the phrase "kiss mah grits" in a conversation.
21. You had ringside seats for Luke and Lauras wedding. guilty as sin
22. You know who shot JR.
23. You sat with your friends on a Friday night and dialed "8-6-7-5-3-0-9" to see if Jenny would answer.
24. You owned a pair of Rainbow suspenders just like Mork used to wear.
25. You remember when your cable TV box had the three rows of numbers and you had to move the selector switch accordingly.
26. "Feathered" hair.I had actually managed to subliminate this until I saw it here. *sigh*
27. VCR's cost $1,000.
28. There was nothing strange about Bert n' Ernies living together.
29. Rotary phones.
30. Rotary TV channel dials.
31. You remember the days when cocaine was just fine in powder form,
thankyouverymuch.
32. You remember the days when "safe sex" meant "my parents are gone for the weekend".
33. You see teenagers today wearing clothes that show up in those childhood photos, and they still look bad.
34. You've ever conversationally used the phrase "Jane, you ignorant slut" guilty, guilty, guilty....I still do it, and sadly, most people don't get the reference
35. You watched HR Puffenstuff as a child, but now that you're older, you
really understand that it would have been much better had you known about drugs at the time.
36. You've recently horrified yourself by using any one of the following
phases:
- "When I was younger"
- "When I was your age"
- "You know, back when..."
- "Because I SAID so, that's why"
- "What the HELL is this noise on the radio?"
- "Just can't (fill in the blank) like I used to"
37. Kids that work in restaurants and supermarkets are starting to piss you off by calling you "sir" or "ma'am".
38. Going to keg parties no longer involves hiding out in the woods when the cops show up.
39. You remember "Hey, let's be careful out there"
40 This rings a bell: "My name, is Charlie. They work for me."
