It was twenty years ago today...

It was an era. It wasn't the greatest era or the worst, but for a good number of us, it was an era that formed us. We weren't children of the hippy 60's or the disco 70's but rather of the yuppie, excessive, greed is good 80's.

And we remember it fondly. We remember the parachute pants and big hair and lingere worn on the outside and leg warmers. We remember the Rubik's Cube and Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong. We remember Michael and Devon and Joanie and Chachie. We wanted the new He-Man and Transformer toys.

And we remember them all because that's where we came from, and I'm guessing that some of you just might qualify, too...
