You always think twice about mixing Coke and Pop Rocks...

You sometimes wonder if "Mikey" from the LIFE cereal commercial is still alive ...

You have this photo permanently imbedded in your brain:

And wonder:

"How the #%$@ did Kevin Kline manage to snag that one !?!?"

Hate to break it, but I first heard Psyche! when I moved to Maryland in 1973.

You knew you grew up in the 80s if you drank Crystal Pepsi, new coke, Coke "classic", owned a Transformer, and think Michael Keaton was good as Batman.

Actually, if you know who Michael Keaton is, it's a good chance you were a kid in the 80s, because he's about as gone as it gets.

You saw Gremlins in the theater, and you saw them driving around on the road next to things like Chevettes and Pacers, and Le Cars.

Phoebe Cates was hot, Molly Ringowld might be, and Ally Sheedy was not.

You thought Christian Slater could act, and have long since realized how wrong you were.

Depeche Mode sounds like music to some of you, and your idea of what constitutes good hard rock and roll unfortunately contains influences of Poison, Ratt, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, and you knew girls who thought that guys who looked as pretty as they did were hot.

You know who Ginger and Amber Lynn were and what it feels like to rent a porn movie out of a book in front of the counter.

You had cassettes. And betamax, and your VCR typically cost about 500 bucks and weighed 25 pounds. A 27" TV was massive, and you don't realize how dreadfully awful the cartoons of your time were, until Batman, the Animated Series saved the cartoon world.

And if you lived near Glen Burnie, I sold you comics.

They've actually made more over the years. At the 7-11 I sometimes stop at on the way to work in Arlington, they had some new series there about a month or so ago.

That's funny. I'm gonna have to buy a pack just to see what they are like.

Yeah, I had my taken by the librarian lol. Like the original 1st series ones, Adam Bomb (my all time favorite). I remember after they took them, I drew my own of other kids in my class and made up my own names. When the teacher found my notebook she went off and my parents had to come in for a meeting lol.

(You were born in '89)

But anyway I'll play along...

If you lived 9 years without Skinsfan07 on the planet

****ing hilarious!

Let's see....

I remember going to Erol's video and renting red tapes (Beta) and always ticked off that the best movies were VHS (black).

If you had a Bo Jackson lunchbox

You remember the Redskins winning a Superbowl

You called your friends at home to see if they wanted to go outside and play
