fuji869 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 You're Probably Aged 23 to 38 If... You learned to swim about the same time Jaws came out and still carry the emotional scars to this day. You could sing "99 Red Balloons" in English and in German. You're starting to believe that maybe having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. You did the LeFreak with Chic. "All-skate, change directions" means something to you. In high school, you and all your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play "1999" by Prince over and over again. You wore anything Izod, especially collar "up," or the windbreakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist. You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool. You even dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna, Rick Springfield, or Cyndi Lauper video. You actually know who Rick Springfield is. You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you in the "tail gunner" position. Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language. You ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon. You had a poster of Bo, Luke & Daisy Duke. There was nothing to question about Bert n' Ernie living together. Knickers and leg warmers were cool. You ever wanted to learn to play "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar and choreographed "Dancing Queen" by yourself in your room. You were afraid of the Sleestaks on Land of the Lost. The first time you ever kissed someone was at a dance during "Crazy for You" by Madonna. You ever used the phrase "kiss mah grits" in conversation. You had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding. You know who shot J.R. This rings a bell: "...and my name, is Charlie. They work for me." You ever had a Dorothy Hammill haircut. You sat with your friends on a Friday night and dialed "867-5309" to see if Jenny would answer. You owned a pair of Rainbow suspenders just like Mork used to wear. You remember when your cable TV box had the three rows of numbers and you had to move the selector switch accordingly. Two Words: Feathered hair Your jaw would ache by the time you finished those "brick-sized" packages of Bazooka gum. The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.

Eagles_Legendz Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Innocent, 17. My 6th grade teacher was a Cowboys fan for that infamous "Tommy Hutton" MNF game in '96 (the name Tommy Hutton strikes fear into the heart of Eagle fans across the world). The Eagles had just driven the length of the field, down 1 with 1 minute left. With 2 seconds left they were setting up for a 24 yard field goal. Hutton bobbles the snap and tries to run fo it. . . :doh: I'm breathing into a paper bag for an hour and my parents threaten to never allow me to watch an Eagles game again since I was running around the house screaming (at 1 am). :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
