I have ended a sentence with the word PSYCHE and recently, I know the Rap of by heart.

I don't agree with the last one though,

You know your still at school now if you:
1. use the words heavy and hetic instead of cool
2. click, is a word which defines a group like a gang

I'll come back to that one later when I am fully awake.

Just gotta say.....80's kids rock! I totally identify with about 35 of these, I am so "stuck in the 80's". I graduated from high school in 1987 (hence my user name here), and I love all things 80s! A few things I would add...
Remember...

Bartles and James "thank you for your support"

Bruce Willis singing about "Seagrams/Golden Wine Coolers"- just the ad convinced me to drink them, and I really don't drink!

Sing along with me..."Levis/button fly/501 Bluuuuuues." (I'm wearing a pair now- how odd is that?)
