The 80's were interesting times.....:rolleyes: my teen years so I remember them fondly regardless of how we dressed....

:lol: I LOL'd at most of them, but I have a couple of questions:

What was "Oregon Trail Day"?
What was the game "MASH"?
Why were slap bracelets banned?

One other comes to mind--You know you grew up in the 80's if you ever wore a sweatshirt with the neck cut out, hanging off one shoulder and jeans with frayed holes in them.

There are several that I'd never heard of either, but the majority of them hit me right between the eyes!

Slap bracelets were thin metal braclets wrapped in a thin layer of cloth... They were banned because the metal would cut through the cloth and then cut the skin.... I can't remember exactly how the mash game worked, but I do remember it.
