Get help, you stand out in a crowd, people point and laugh at you in public, really. Go out and buy a Nirvana CD or something, you're sad!

There's hope for you, try watching some television. Get outside in public, and notice you look like a total geek next to everyone else except Bob Dole.
* 20-40 Points Total
You've almost totally gotten away from the eighties, or your real young and hardly remember the eighties at all. Clean out your closet and you'll probably come close to be considered hip.
* 00-20 Points Total
You've forgotten everything about the eighties, I'm willing to bet you don't even remember your name.

I'll have you know there is NOTHING wrong with the 80s, I had that discussion with my son yesterday when he was getting his hair cut. He said he didn't want 'poofy 80s hair'. There was nothing wrong with poofy 80's hair. I liked my leg warmers and oversized sweatshirts. The 80s produced many good things....one of them me!! :biggrin: :eusa_clap:
