i was watching vh1 the other day and i saw a preview about a show called "I love the 80s strikes back". i think that it's cool because i grew up in the 80's. when i think of the 80s, i think of:

-cabbage patch kids
-kangaROOS (those shoes with pockets that we got from tribal clothes;)
-smurfs
-scratch and sniff stickers
-ghostbusters
-rainbow bright
-neon colored clothing and accessories
-parachute pants
-the goonies
-"you can't do that on television" a show that aired on nickelodeon
-transformers
-garbage pail kids
-pac man
-banana seat bikes
-rubik's cube
-ronald reagan
-girl's rolling up their pants and having multi-layered and multi-colored socks
-E.T.
-Cds
-break dancing
-halley's comet

these are a just a few that come to mind at the moment. i do try and collect/find things from the 80's though. just last month i found some cabbage patch figurines from 1984. if you can remember other things that i didn't list, then enlighten me....
