I must have missed that one when I first read the list

[KraziHare]

21, 31, and 32 are true in every way possible. A lot of the other stuff is too. Weird decade, that one.

[Bud Head]

Some of that was going on in the late 60's early 70's as well!

[JTMarlinRip2]

The 80s...such a terrible decade. It's like everything between 1974 and 1994 was like a black hole that sucked all the coolness out of life. Now the 60s is a decade that rocked, fast cars and great music. heh...

[genieadventures]

83)wammy bars!

[vatoloco]

Wow, was that a flashback!

58.) You had at least one Hypercolor shirt

What a great decade and an age of innocence! Hehe

[smokedout]

You have totally summed up the 80's perfectly. I remember soooo many of those things. I lauged until I cried!

[ubik]

heheheh! the 80s it was a decade of futurism! now when we've finally reached the 2000 what do we have? flying cars? nope. Instead we have a revival of the 60s and 70s music and clothing, and mass paranoia. Sound familiar?

[IGotTheCottons]

Saw the 90's thread and thought this would be fun to dig up
