    Still can. Full House is on for three full hours where I'm at.

  • You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.

    The cartoon or the puppet show?

    =

  • You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.

    I would have liked to crush them in a compactor if that's what you mean.

  • You know what "Sike" means.

    Rob's the man! Sike!

  • You've heard of Garbage Pail Kids.

    I still own some of the stickers that came with cards!

    Y-Y-Yes I do!

    That scene with the worms still does.

    What about Vanity?

  • You wanted to communicate with some being named Cinergy, or you wanted green hair like that lead singer of the Misfits.

    They should have kicked the Fraggle's asses for always destroying their buildings.

  • You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the care-bear stare.

    Almost got it down.

  • You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"

    I was born in '68, so I really grew up in the 70's, but it's the 80's I can really remember.

    Unless I've just blocked that decade out of my memory.
