You know you're from the 80's when...

Courtesy of http://www.bored.com/childhoodsite/index.htm, I've compiled a list of my favorite "ways to know you're from the 80's." See how many apply to you (if any). A lot of these apply to me, and I wasn't even alive in the 80's.

1. Four Square was the playground game.
2. You've ever said, "I pity the fool..."
3. At one point during you're teen years, you walked with a noticeable tilt to one side due to the number of plastic rings on that arm.
4.Schoolhouse Rock played a huge part in how you actually learned the English language.
5. The phrase "Where's the Beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
6. U2 is too "popular" and "mainstream" for you now.
7. You actually know who Rick Springfield is. (I only know from 13 Going on 30)
8. You actually spent countless hours perfecting the care-bear stare.
You can name at least half the memebers of the Brat Pack. (I can name them all! Not that that's anything to be proud of.)
9. You once called 867-5309
10. You've seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.
11. You know all the words to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" but it didn't hold any meaning to you until about the 3rd verse.
12. You know the profound meaning to "wax on, wax off."
13. You know the words to at least one Schoolhouse Rock song.
14. You owned a T-shirt that says, "I shot J.R," or you know someone who had one.

And to finish...
You spent your 20's and 30's obesessing over how much better things were "back then."

Stay tuned for the sequel--"You know you're from the 90's when..."
