I had just moved out of my parents house when MTV came on. It was amazing for it's time.

Many of Saturdays wasted when i was a kid playing games like these!

My early adolescent obsessions:

Olivia Newton John


Jaclyn Smith

I was living in Houston and every kid had those astro jerseys. And we all loved Jose Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz.

I'm late to the thread but I read it all. Very entertaining thread.

I didn't see mag wheels for your bike mentioned. We were kind of poor and I had spoked wheels on my banana seat bikes. In '83 though, I got a blue and yellow huffy BMX with yellow mag wheels. I'd cruise around in my empire strikes back "shong" sleeve shirt (that's what I called 3/4 sleeves), rustlers and blue converse low tops with velcro straps.

I would draw Earle Campbell in all my notebooks because I thought he was the greatest football player ever and I luv ya blue'd all my notebooks.

I was the remote control for the TV, no matter where I was in the house I could be called to come change channel.

My mom's home office had a modem for the computer that you had to take the phone receiver and put it into and a giant dot matrix printer that I used to make all kinds of banners.

After moving to Louisiana and attending the world's fair in New Orleans, I found a six star outlet and could buy butterfly knives and throwing stars because American ninja was the coolest movie ever! I could be a ninja because moms didn't care if we were outside after dark.

I loved the late seventies and early eighties so much, I wish my kids could experience the safety and fun of it.
