THIS ADMIN SUPPORTS THIS DECREE.

GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED.

I had Popples! And Care Bears! Garbage Pail Kids!

[loverlyviolets]

Hugga-Bunch! Rainbow Brite!

[atreideslioness]

I still have my Popple and a Care Bear somewhere!

[the_merriest]

I had a homemade Popple. Because my parents were too cheap/poor to buy me a real one.

Yes, it successfully turned inside-out and everything.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

What if somebody didn't remember the 80's due to amnesia rather than being too young?

[loverlyviolets]

That is an acceptable excuse, but they will need to immediately begin a strict nightly theraputic regimen of watching Knight Rider and Small Wonder episodes.

THIS ADMIN DISAGREES.

*takes her Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers action figures and FLOUNCES*

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

I LAUGH AT YOUR TEETH.

[bigdamnprincipal]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YES. TOTALLY GROUNDED.

And you can't borrow my New Kids on the Block tapes either!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Or my Debbie Gibson Out of the Blue vinyl, either.

[lovemykilt]

I STILL HAVE A POPPLE. And a carebear poster. And a couple carebears.

I don't remember the seventies, though. I'm 19 days younger than MTV.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Someone who shall remain nameless (*coughERINcough*) asked me what a Popple was the other day.

If I could have reached through the computer and smacked her, I would have.

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

*is in full agreement and full compliance!*

[wantstodirect]

I support this policy!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

*totally agrees*

My mom gave away the first edition D&D game I had. My brother has never forgiven her. *sads*

[loverlyviolets]

I opened my mint-condition Strawberry Shortcake (pre-Custard!) when I was like... 22 because I wanted to smell her PREETTY PREETTY HAIR play with her. I can't say I regret it, but oh, me. Sigh.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

Omg I dun wanna be grounded. D:

[loverlyviolets]

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

What - *all* of it?

[loverlyviolets]

I would settle for ANY of it, though yes, I remember all of it. Except that weekend in Cleveland. Which we don't talk about.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

HEEEY. If I dun wanna go to my room, you CAN'T MAKE ME.

*sulks and rebels*

[loverlyviolets]

Too bad! CAN, WILL, DID!

No newfangled video games that don't work on the Atari machine for you, either!

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

You know, I have to ask:

What about those of us who remember a lot of the eighties, but also a bit of growing up in the 90s?

I FEEL SO IN BETWEEN! I weep for both the loss of my He-Men and my Ninja Turtles!

I LEARNED HOW TO READ PLAYING ZORK AND YET MY NES WAS MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION!

*comments with age-appropriate character, omg*

[loverlyviolets]

YOUR NINJA TURTLES CAME OUT IN 1984.

ALL YOUR CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE BELONG TO US.

[atreideslioness]

GROUNDED.

They can't use my Atari or my Rainbow Brites or my Voltron toys. GROUNDED.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

OMG VOLTRON.

*NOSTALGICS*

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Activate interlock! Dynotherms connected! Infracells up! Mega thrusters are go!

LET'S GO OLD PEOPLE FORCE!

[atreideslioness]

We aren't old, they're just wee.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

SO WHAT IF I STILL CAN'T DRINK?!

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

How much of the 80s must we remember?

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

YOU AT LEAST NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE SONG "WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO"

:P

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

I have a few of the original transformers kicking around. And some barbies. Who has a hand puppet Alf from Burger King? *raises hand*

And the age old question:

Bo or Luke?

...or maybe you prefer Daisy? ;)

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

I might still remember part of the song that ALF sang in that one episode...

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

I BELATEDLY SUPPORT THIS DECREE!

*gets the guns ready*

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Or, um... what about those of us who were graduating from college in the 80's...

I remember 'em, but I sure wasn't paying all that much attention to that stuff.

[thatsamilkshake]

High school class of '91! You're not that much older than me, missy.

But I am not in fact allowed to ground you.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Keep your damn popples, care bears and strawberry shortcakes to yourself.

I'm over here playing with my star wars action figures, GI Joe's and Transformers.

And I'm bending them all over to moon at the people who don't remember the 80's and sang along to Spandau Ballet.

[the_merriest]

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW THIS! MUUUUUUUUUUUUCH IS! TRUUE!

[the_merriest]

Does this mean we'll be wearing jelly shoes when we're not doing that bizarre weave-thing to the laces of our LA Gear sneakers?

Going on the list of ghetto home-made toys I had: a Pound Puppy.

[tyler_gone]

Hee, we had Pound Puppies too!
