You might be if you...

You wore anything Izod, especially those windbreakers that folded up into a pouch.

You remember when Jordache jeans were cool.

In your fifth grade class picture, you're wearing an Izod shirt with the collar up

You know, by heart, the words to any "Weird" Al Yankovic song

The Brady Bunch movie brought back cool memories

You ever rang someone's doorbell and said "Landshark".

Three words "Atari" "IntelliVision" and "Coleco". Sound familiar?

You remember the days when "safe sex" meant "my parents are gone for the weekend"

You remember "Friday Night Videos" before the days of MTV

A predominant color in your childhood photos is "plaid"

While in high school, you and all your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play "1999" by Prince over and over again

You remember when music that was labeled "alternative" really was

You took family trips BEFORE the invention of the mini-van. You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you.

You've ever conversationally used the phrase "Jane, you ignorant slut."

You watched HR Puff'n'stuff as a child, but now that you're older, you really understand that it would have been much better had you known about drugs at the time.

You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna,or Cyndi Lauper video

You painted your face like a KISS member and wondered how you could stretch your tongue to look like Gene Simmons'

The first time you ever kissed someone at a dance came during "Crazy for You" by Madonna

The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.

Honestly remember when film critics raved that no movie could ever possibly get better special effects than those in the movie TRON.

(girls) you thought Sean Cassidy was "dreamy", and lusted after "Ted, your ship's photographer" on the Love Boat

You freaked out when you found that you now fall into the "26 - 50" age category on most questionnaires

Your hair, at some point in time in the 80's, became something which can only be described by the phrase "I was experimenting"

This timeline appropriately describes actual events in your life: Star Wars opens, you are still in single digit ages, and you think the creatures are WAY cool. Empire Strikes Back opens, you are now in early double digit ages, and you are convinced that the special effects are much better, the characters are cool, and you want one of every collectible out there. Return of the Jedi hits the theaters...you are now a teenager, and you cannot get your eyes off Princess Leia's breasts or Han Solo's butt.

You've ever shopped at a Banana Republic or Benetton, but not in the last five years, okay?

You're starting to believe (now that it wouldn't affect YOU) that maybe having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea after all

You're doing absolutely nothing pertaining to your major at University

You ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon

U2 is too "popular" and "mainstream" for you now

You ever used the phrase "kiss mah grits" in conversation

You remember trying to guess the episode of the Brady Bunch from the first scene. Even worse, you CAN guess the episode of Star Trek by the opening line.

You spent endless nights dreaming about being the Bionic Woman or Wonder Woman or the Six Million Dollar Man

You played Six Million Dollar Man by running in s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n in the playground

You remember "Hey, let's be careful out there"

You're parents wanted you to attend medical school, but you decided it was pointless since Quincy got all the babes, anyway.

You know who shot J.R.

This rings a bell "and my name, is Charlie. They work for me."

(Australians) You used to think that Sonny in Skippy was really cool to have a pet Kangaroo but now think he's just a whiney little brat who couldn't walk and talk at the same time without his pet kangaroo.

(Australians) You remember Elle MacPherson when she was just starting out...in a TAB commercial

You know all the words to the double album set of Grease.

You ever had a Dorothy Hammill haircut

"All-skate, change directions" means something to you.

You owned a pair of Rainbow suspenders just like Mork used to wear. Worse, you still say "Shazbut"

You were too young to go see the Blue Lagoon so you just had to settle for second hand reports.

You learned to swim about the same time Jaws came out and still carry the emotional scars to this day.
