1985.2.24.I'm 20 now.But people always ask me whether I'm 15 or 16. I'm a chinese!Maybe I can make some friends here.
Man. I see these kids posting that they were born in 1985... I'd already been in 4 car accidents by then! I'm old --comparively. I remember Preseident Ford leaving, and Jimmy Carter (that dolt) taking office. I remember popcorn cooked on a stovetop, black and white TV, the advent of cable. I owned records --vinyl, dig (and I say "dig," you dig?)-- and 8-track tapes (I had several Led Zeppelin 8-tracks). I remember when the format shifted from them to Cassettes, then to CD. I remember Betamax, and the first time I watched a rented movie (ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! --no, I'm not kidding). I remember when John Bonham died. Ditto for John Lennon, Randy Rhodes, and Cliff Burton. I remember manual typewriters --my first one was an Olivetti. Heh. I remember when you would liekly be shot for driving a Japanese car. I remember McDonald's introducing their apple pie (it was a quarter, if memory serves). I remember Black Sabbath breaking up and Ozzy going solo. I bought Pink Floyd: THE WALL when it came out. I remember "Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL." I remember Goose Gossage pitching relief for the Yankees. Bucky Dent at SS, Greg Nettles at 3rd, Bob Watson at first, and Reggie Jackson as the DH. I remember being able to smoke in movie theatres and airplanes. And the mall, for that matter. Hell, we had a smoking section in high school, and I graduated before some of you were born. I'm 34.

No, they all did not happen in '85... just things that somone born in 1985 wouldn't remember, you dig? And The Clash rocked the casbah (great-now that's going to be stuck in my head)!
Yup. My mind's a blank. Except for the 'cooking popcorn on the stove' thinggie. I'm still doing that! :lol:
