All my major life transitions seem to have happened in the glorious 80's! Graduated high school in 1980, graduated college in 1984, got married in 1986, had a kid in 1987...
So I can related to most of the original list! But Scooby-Doo is OLDER than the 80's, 'cause I used to watch him as a kid! And I think Smurfette was one REALLY happy Smurf, with all those boy-smurfs around...My daughter loved her Cabbage Patch doll that I had to stand in line at Toys R Us for at Christmastime, when the famous Cabbage Patch rush of the 80's happened...
Devo rules! (Remember the Devo video with the red "layer cake" hats?) I LOVED Elvis Costello, too, and Eurythmics...and don't forget Men at Work and Boy George and the Culture Club! (Karma Chameleon drove us all nuts on the radio...)
