YOU KNOW YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE 70'S IF....
#1. The brady bunch movie brought back cool memories
#2. Three words: "atari" "intellivision" and "coleco". Sound familiar?
#3. You remember the days when "safe sex" meant "my parents are gone for the
weekend"
#4. You remember the days when cocaine was just fine in powder form,
thankyouverymuch
#5. A predominant color in your childhood photos is "plaid"
#6. You see teenagers today wearing clothes that show up in those childhood
photos, and they still look bad
#7. 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.
#8. You've ever conversationally used the phrase "jane, you ignorant slut"
#9. You watched hr puffenstuff as a child, but now that you're older, you
really understand that it would have been much better had you known about
drugs at the time.
#10. You've recently horrified yourself by using any one of the following
phrases: "When I was younger"..... "When I was your age"..... "You know, back
when..."..... "Because I SAID so, that's why"...... "What the HELL is this
noise on the radio?"
#11. Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the
English language.
#12. Kids that work in restaurants and supermarkets are starting to piss you
off by calling you "sir" or "ma'am"
#13. You're starting to view getting carded to buy alcohol as a GOOD thing,
and you're ready to marry the next person who cards you when you want to buy
cigarettes.
#14. (guys) your first wet dream occurred to thoughts of Jeannie, Marsha
Brady, Samantha from Bewitched or, for those hardcore comic fans out there,
Daphne from Scooby Doo, Josie or any one of her Pussycats.
#15. You're starting to dread your 30th (or 40th...) Birthday, and have even
begun going into denial about its possibility.
#16. You freaked out when you found that you now fall into the "26 - 50" age
category on most questionnaires.
#17. You remember when the phrase "candy is dandy, but sex won't rot your
teeth"
started getting followed by "yeah, but M&M's won't give you AIDS..."
#18. You're starting to believe (now that it wouldn't affect YOU) that maybe
having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea after
all.
#19. You're doing absolutely nothing with anything pertaining to your major
degree.
#20. You won't walk into the place where you once knew every bartender on a
first name basis because "there's too many kids there"
#21. Going to keg parties no longer involves hiding out in the woods when
the cops show up.
#22. You want to go out dancing, you really, REALLY do, but your back hurts,
sorry.
#23. You're starting to think that Corvettes really look good, and aren't
REALLY for guys going through a mid-life crisis and worried about their
penis. That's not YOU.
#24. You've recently horrified yourself by groaning as you get out of bed,
not because of a hangover, but because it genuinely just hurt to do so.
#25. (mostly guys on this one) sex is still as much fun as it used to be,
and you're still really interested in it, but you just want to make sure
there's nothing really good on cable that you'd be missing first.
#26. When somone mentions two consecutive days of the week, the Happy Days
theme is stuck in your head for hours on end.
#27. This rings a bell: "and my name, is Charlie. They work for me."
