You Might be a Generation X er if....

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

You remember when Jordache jeans were cool.

You know, by heart, all the words to any given "Weird Al" Yankovic song. (I personally liked "Eat It.")

	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 recently horrified yourself by using any one of the following phrases: (You choose one) "When I was younger..." "When I was your age..." "You know, back when..."
	Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language.
	You remember trying to guess the episode of the Brady Bunch from the first scene. ("Damn, Cousin Oliver again?!?")
	You spent endless nights dreaming about being the Bionic Woman or Wonder Woman or the Six Million Dollar Man. (Again, you choose one)
	You had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding (on General Hospital).
	You'd rather watch "The Herculoids" than some stupid ol' soap opera.
	This rings a bell: "...and my name, is Charlie. They work for me."
	You ever wanted to learn to play "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar.
	You were unsure if Diet Coke would ever catch on. After all, look at Tab!
	You know all the words to the double album set of "Grease."
	You ever had a Dorthy Hamill haircut. Short, but not too butchy.
	You sat with your friends on a Friday night and dialed "8-6-7-5-3-0-9" to see if Jenny would answer.
	You owned a pair of Rainbow suspenders just like Mork used to wear.
	You bought a pair of Vans and wanted to order a pizza in history class so you could be just like Jeff Spicoli ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High").
	You were too young to go see "The Blue Lagoon", so you just had to settle for second hand reports.
	You remember when there was only "G", "PG", and "R", none of this PG-13 crap.
	You leared to swim about the same time "Jaws" came out, and still carry the emotional scars to this day.
	"Wonder Twin powers, activate! Form of an iceberg, shape of a hammer!"
	You remember when your cable TV box had a sliding selector switch or a turn knob.
	Your jaw would ache by the time you finished those "brick-sized" packages of Bazooka gum.
	VCR's cost $1013.63.
	You've started to view getting carded to buy alcohol as a GOOD thing.
	You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna, Boy George, or Cyndi Lauper video.
	You remember (with pain) the sad day when the Green Machine hit the streets, making your old Big Wheel quite obsolete.
	The phrase "Where's the Beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
	You 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 Love Boat.
	You freaked when you found out that you now fall into the "26-50" age. category on most questionnaires.
	You 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're now a teen-ager, and you cannot get your eyes off Princess Leia's breasts or Han Solo's rear end (girls).
	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 won'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.
	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.
	There was nothing strange about Bert and Ernie living together...wink...wink..
	Rotary dial telephones. 'Nuff said.
	You anxiously awaited "That's Incredible" with Fran Tarkenton, Kathy Lee Crosby, and John Davidson on Wednesday nights.
	You actually believed that Mikey (famed for his "Life" cereal commercial) died after eating a packet of "Pop Rocks" and drinking a Coke.
	The theme song to "Greatest American Hero" still comes back to you on occasion. ("Believe it or not, I'm...")
	You wore your parachute pants to see "Breakin' 2: The Electric Boogaloo".
	You're waiting for Howie Mandel to make a guest appearance on "ER."
	The Banana Splitz have nothing to do with ice cream.
	You have said "Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis" and don't even know anyone named Willis!
	Wondered what Michael Knight is doing as a lifeguard...and where's KITT!
	You ever ever wondered which of the following was Mr. T's more pivotal role -- B.A. Baracus from "The A-Team," That bad-ass taxi driver from "D.C. Cab," or His self-portrayed cartoon persona (remember his cereal too?).
