I'm sure most of you won't even find this remotely funny since you are so young, but this is freaking hilarious to me.

1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word SIKE.

2. You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton

3. You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom

4. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock"

5. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

6. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.

7. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

8. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.

9. You played the game "MASH"(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House)

10. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it.

11. You know the profound meaning of " WAX ON , WAX OFF"

13. You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us...head-to-toe)

14. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted.

15. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

16. You took lunch boxes to school...and traded Garbage Pailkids in the schoolyard.

17. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets.

18. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.

19. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.

21. You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes.

22. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"

23. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"

24. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates.

25. You have ever played with a Skip-It.

28. You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot.

29. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac.

30. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool...and don't even flinch when people refer to them as "NKOTB"

31. You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell," The ORIGINAL class.

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

33. You just sang those words to yourself.

34. You still sing "We are the World"

35. You tight rolled your jeans.

36. You owned a bannana clip.

37. You remember "Where's the Beef?"

38. You used to (and probably still do)
say "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

I had a hypercolor shirt. I was so cool the first day I wore that to school.

How could they leave off Members Only jackets off the list?

That game kicked ass. It was my first computer game. I'd always go to my dad's office and play it. Once I actually read the instructions and found out it told you exactly when the stocks were going up I never lost to Glomgold again. I remember you had to fly everywhere in Launchpad's biplane and the levels like Ayers Rock where you had to swing your grappling hook to get up the mountain and find the treasure. It was always satisfying to see my mountain of gold on the side of the scale at the end and that cheating d-bag Glomgold lose.

Sweet I found it on Wikipedia.

Wow.... That brought back some memories. Geez I'm getting old.

How about.....
40) You know who Cousin Balki was
41) You remember exactly what you were when you heard that Challenger exploded.
42) You wanted to go where everyone knows your Name (but not on Nick-at-Nite)
43) You can still breakdance with a piece of cardboard and a boombox
44) You listened to New Wave music
45) You watched The Muppet Show every week.
46) You can remember what the Dominoes Noid looked like
