YOU KNOW YOU GREW UP IN THE 80's or early 90's IF-

Recommended Posts

If you wore parachute pants.

If bandannas were worn on around your thighs.

If you folded the leg of your jeans over and rolled them up.

If you ever breakdanced

If your socks matched the shirt you were wearing

If you ever owned a Michael Jackson jacket.

If you (or your parents) paid $7.00 a minute for Cell service

If you're old enough to remember Ricky Schroeder, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cougar Mellencamp

Anybody remember 'Valley Girl'? I think it was by Moon Zappa. They played it all the time in San Diego in the early to mid 80's.


Like, oh my God, gag me with a spoon,
Like, ok, fine
Fer sure, fer sure, she's a valley girl


Or somethin' like that.



Problems just be opportunities in der workin' clothes.

I still have a copy of it on record! It's essentially a single but used a full-sized record. Has all the words to it, too! And her name is actually Moon Unit Zappa! :D

I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information!

anybody ever own a white, left-handed glove with fake rhinestones/diamonds on it;)



::cringe:: OMG...if it wasn't for the fact that my big bro would SO kiss my @$$, I'd post pics of when he was going through his MJ phase. Red Leather jacket, high water black pants, white socks with black dress shoes and yes the glove. :D:D

You wore a huge Dinosaur jumpsuit..to do RW cause it would slow ya down.
Going vertical to cross over a formation meant ya screwed up.
You didn't eat for two days before the weekend because ya didn't want to go low.
A water jump meant just that...ya had to take a landing in the middle of a lake to get your "D".
"Blocks" didn't exist in the dive pool.

People have been doing this since before the 80's. Probably as long as there has been motorcycles.



I knew that. I may be a blond, but I'm not that dumb. ;) I was just trying to be funny, but I guess it didn't work.[:/]
