Yet another version of that 80s nostalgia email:

You are an 80's child if:

*You had a crush on Jon Bon Jovi, or knew someone who did.
*You know what a "burnout" is.
*You wanted to be on StarSearch. (Come on, we all did)
*You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off. Or even when he had those freaky eyes in "Thriller" at the end of the video.
*You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth.
*You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's ass.
*You knew what Willis was "talkin' 'bout."
*You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."
*You can name at least half of the members of the elite "Brat Pack."
*You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer."
*You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."
*You know where to go if you "wanna go where everybody knows your name."
*You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an 80's movie she WASN'T in?)
*You know what "Sike" means.
*You fell victim to 80's fashion: big hair, god-awful fashion plus accessories.
*You wanted to be a Goonie ("Goonies never say die.")
*You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good movie, but you couldn't see it because your parents wouldn't let you.
*You've heard of Garbage Pail Kids.
*You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."
*You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played "Sam" to be.
*You ever wore flourescent -neon if you will clothing...(or nailpolish).
*You could breakdance, or wished you could.
*You know who Max Headroom is.
*You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system.(Remember Pong)
*You own any cassettes.
*You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon.
*You remember and/or own any of the CareBear Glass collection from Pizza Hut.
*Poltergeist freaked you out.
*You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ETlunchbox.
*You wish you were alone now with Tiffany.
*You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
*You watched Jem religiously, desperately wanted those red flashy earings, wanted to communicate with some being named Synergy, or you wanted green hair like that lead singer of the Misfits.
*You know what a Doozer is.
*You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish.
*You ever had a Swatch Watch.
*You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the care-bear stare.
*You had a crush on one of the Coreys (Haim or Feldman).
*You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.
*You had WonderWoman or Superman underoos.
*You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"(damned straight!)
*You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.
*You know what a "Whammee" is. ("No Whammy, no whammy, stop!!")
*Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.

If you can identify with at least half of this list then you, my friend, are a "Child of the 80's."
