I know or recognize most of them...a few I actually apply to me (Saturday morning cartoons for one...)


Anyone remember pencil fights?

Classrooms of boys with their lead in one hand and their eraser in another.

I only knew one.
I saw that karate movie, wax-on wax-off.
I thought the rest were trick questions.

The 80's didn't really last ten years, did they?


and how do you grow a ponytail out of the side of your head?

I scored a 28.

Most the stuff I didn't get were the borederline gay items such as shirts with a knot in them.

I still have a collection of Garbage Pale kid trading cards.
