You wanna know what's scarier? At the question about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I went: "That wasn't from the 80s, was it? That's 1990!" ::blushes::

ah well, the good old days *g*

AAAARRRGGGHHH!

Not only do I remember pretty much all of this, I was too old for some of the kiddy things like the Turtles and Care Bears. *sob* I'm ancient.

::sniggers::
who cares? We're only as old as we feel -- and I for one, at the tender age of 26, still watch cartoons and such-like, both old and new *g*

Don't tell me you didn't have Oregon Trail day in computer class at school!

Well, I'm not sure it was out over here -- here it was a bit early in the 80s and we had a couple of commodore 64s standing in the computer room and what everyone went nuts over was 'California Games' *g*

hm, so these things happened in the 80s? we were still culturally separated from the world then, so "the 80s" were imported to us in the early 90s :)
I was just 10 then, so I have too few of these things to take the meme. but I knew the lives of the original "Saved by the bell" characters!
for me, MC Hammer means "Can't touch this"
I remember Alf! even though I didn't watch the show.
was I too young, too naive or simply lacked of spirit to notice there was only a female smurf? I think my mother pondered this question for me, and it got me thinking.
yes for "Don't worry, be happy!"

but please, could somebody enlighten me re: the "Care Bear Stare" thing? starting with who are these Care Bears (I took a quiz with "which Care Bear are you" and still didn't get it) :D

Um, the care bears each had a symbol on their chest and a beam of light and goodness would shoot from it when they fought the forces of evil. *g* That was the 'care bear stare' -- they would even sometimes hold hands and do it in groups, thus gaining more power.

::cringes::
amazing, after all these years I still remember this *laughs*

I was between 3 and 12 in the 80s, but I got a lot of mixed influence thanks to my sister who's 8 years older than me *g* so basically I got both the kiddy perspective and the teenie perspective -- scary...

Well, the 80s return every once in a while. There's plenty of time to catch up ^_~

some things are never forgotten :D
I never forgot the names of the Ninja Turtles...

this reminds me of Captain Planet, who was invoked by the use of five rings with the power of the five elements... ::shakes head::
the bears must have been funnier or at least cuter.

some of the 80s hair would better not return

Captain Planet...
::howls::
dammit -- I remember that too *giggles*
And GI Joe... and Masters of the universe... trasformers... -- dear me, I think I've always been a cartoon addicts *g*

Raphael, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello *g*

so there was a GI Joe before the recent GI Jane? I never knew this...

but what about the colors their scarfs had? :>
I think red, blue, orange and violet, in the order above.
but it took me a while to be sure...

cartoons... as I passed through the living-room, I noticed both my parents were watching Tom & Jerry cartoons. it was somehow funny, I'm not watching them anymore... (but only because poor Tom always loses)

LOL
you got the scarfs right, that's for sure.
And yeah, GI Joe was a military fraction fighting the evil Cobra organization *g*

Tom and Jerry... *g* yeah -- poor Tom -_-

Scariest part? I wasn't born until 1985. September of 1985.
