10. MTV actually played videos in the 80's.
09. There was only one kind of Nike tennis shoes (White with a
red swoosh), and they didn't cost $125.
08. A comb in your back pocket was more practical and less
painful than a ring through your nose.
07. In the 80's playing video games actually meant going out
to DO something.
06. In the 80's, when you were out partying, you didn't have
to worry about your Mom calling you on your cell phone.
05. In the 80s we didn't have to worry about getting our heads
blown off at school - unless you put a whole pack of Pop Rocks in
your mouth and drank a coke.
04. Debbie Gibson vs. Britney Spears. New Kids on the Block
vs. N'Sync. New Edition vs. Hanson. Ok, that one's a draw.
03. In the early 80's there were kids in your high school who
could BUY ALCOHOL LEGALLY.
02. Feathered hair was easier to care for than dreadlocks.
And the number one reason the 80's were a cooler time to grow
up than the 90's:
01. In the 80's you didn't have to worry about your pants falling
down all the time. They were so tight we couldn't get them off!

I bought my husband a box of old fashioned candy for his b-day & there were pop rocks! I was eating them (sans Coke) & my dog was begging me for some. I put a few on his tongue & he kept askign for more. What a goofball! :)

Only one pair? :)
I know I had a couple of pairs that took a few minutes to get on. Man, I wish I had a video camera when I went to high school... Could have some very cool footage of a lot of fads/fashions.
I hear ya testament... Not much privacy these days when everyone can get a hold of you anywhere at anytime.

AMEN to that :thumbsup3 Remember pulling the zipper up with pliers or wearing pantyhose underneath the jeans so they went on a little easier :biggrin:
Hey, I was wondering about the tricks girls used to use back in high school to make them look hot. LOL!
