I was so in lust with mike D of the Beastie Boys - wearing my cool Madonna tank tops, fru fru skirt with leggings, high top sneakers and all the bangles and chains my arms and neck would hold with my punked out hair lol Those were the days. Remember we invented skateboarding (LOL I tell my friends kid this all the time)

"I wish I was in Tiajuana, eating barbecued iguana..." Mexican Radio!
And Safety Dance - "You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind..."
Puttin' On The Ritz - "Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts...Puttin' on the Ritz..."
Stray Cat Strut - "I don't bother chasin' mice around..."
Or my personal favorite:
"We dance all night doin' the Curly Shuffle, hey Moe, hey Moe, well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck..."
My girls are crazy about all that batty 80's music!

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...)

There is nothing wrong with still having that stuff it is part of your childhood. I still have my 3 cabbage patch kids, granted they are in a closet but I still have them.

Re: More '80s Memories . . .
I almost forgot about those books. The book Ramona the Great I think it was in when she barfed all over the place. I DID in 4th grade. I thought I was going die of embrassment.
