      Nope- those must have been for younger people of the 1980s. I graduated from high school in '84 and college in '88. My experience of the 80s tended more to punk rock, standing up hair, black eyeliner and a rat tail dyed blonde.

        Guilty of everything on that list. We used to have Skip-It competitions. And Heidi, we played MASH the same way.

                Doogie was not hot, though. That's what made NPH's appearance in Harold and Kumar sooo funny.

                  Yeah I never had a crush on him.

                  I had crushes on Donnie and Joey from NKOTB. And thought I'd have more of a chance with Joey since he was younger.

                      I had NKOTB sheets and dolls. One time, I pissed off my brother, and he cut off my Jordan doll's rattail.

                      And I had a crush on Doogie. I used to dream about him flying into my room on a magic carpet to ask me out.

                        What is that? The only computers in my school had DOS running on them.

What a funny commercial for a not so funny incident. Oh the 80's... Can't believe how some of those trends are coming back!

                              What about 90210? I think I was in middle school when that show first started. I had a Luke Perry poster. He's in his late 40s by now, no? They were 20 and 30-somethings when they were in high school, right?
