1984 was a good year ...

One day, you'll be the old, cranky guys who find inventions/trends/language/cultural shifts past your childhood as the 'new fangled stuff' you lived without just fine when you were a kid....it'll happen, if you remain alive and kickin.

Oh and you'll laff when kids act like they invented sex...

It's already happened. Kids just copy paste from Google for book reports now, I still had to read the book and use encyclopedias.

I was 2-3 in 1984, so I don't have real sharp memories of that year.

I was in Middle school and even back then , Waldo was rough. I remember a friend of mine, jacking another friend of mine in the hall for his chocolate bar money.
Think the schools are bad now, I thnk most of us were atleast carrying a knife back then.

I was in Waldo from 92-94 and it was very rough, being I was a minority at that time (Anglo).

and lest we not forget...

Van Halen's 1984 was indeed a strong album. Top Jimmy was (still is) one of my favorite tunes, especially when I caught Top Jimmy & the Rhythm Pigs live at the Belly Up in Solana Beach!

Top Jimmy Rocks! But what about Hot for Teacher and Drop Dead Legs? Dang! I forgot how awesome that one was.

This was me, December 1984. I hunted with a 30 WCF and shot .22s a lot.

"Surf Nazis Must Die" 1987 not 84, but another honorable movie mention...

Love the title.
