Date: 2003-10-19 05:33 pm (UTC)The only especially 80s ones that go for me (having been Much Too Old for a lot of this) are:
After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know what you are, but what am I?" (I STILL say this)
You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up" (Do you remember the one about Christ at a disco, "I've risen but I can't get down"?)
and the socks over tights under high tops thing. I did that a lot.
