1980 :  4 years before I was born January Lite-Brite One of my first Lite-Brite experiences was kind of scary. I used one of those candelabra bulbs with the tip, and unbeknownst to me, the tip was broken. After putting it all together, I plugged it up, and the light came on, then all of a sudden this smoke came pouring out of it. It didn't catch fire, but the smoke scared me half to death. I used to love the way those pegs refracted the light. Looking into a lite-brite peg still takes me back to the early years :) SEE ALSO: Lite-Brite

1980 :  4 years before I was born Crayons One of the funniest memories of my childhood here. We had this scotty named Frankie, and he had a taste for Crayons. He'd get into the whole box, and nibble the tops off of every color. One day we found some colorfully unique artwork he left in piles behind the sofa. Strange dog ;) SEE ALSO: Crayons

1981 :  3 years before I was born Walt Disney World We went here when I was ages 4, 6 and 13. The most memorable had to be seeing some 3D movie with polarized glasses, and going through the 'Figment' ride... The only part I remember NOT liking was having to walk around for 10 hours straight. There's also some pictures of me with Minnie and Mickey, Donald and Goofy somewhere. I'll post 'em if my mom can find 'em! SEE ALSO: Walt Disney World

1981 :  3 years before I was born June Hawaiian Punch I used to have plenty of "Punchy" merchandise I snarfed from the gift shops in Myrtle Beach. Wish I still had it! :/ SEE ALSO: Hawaiian Punch

1983 :  One year before I was born Rubik's Cube One of the ways my sister and I would 'solve' this was to remove one of the stickers and disassemble it and reassemble it lined up correctly. Yeah, I actually solved it a couple of times after studying one of those 'cube algorithm' books. Both ways were fun ;) SEE ALSO: Rubik's Cube

1983 :  One year before I was born December The Dukes of Hazzard Does anyone else remember this race car set? SEE ALSO: The Dukes of Hazzard

1984 :  I am less than one year old Members Only jackets I had one of these. I wore it for almost 5 years before I could no longer fit into it. I loved this thing almost as much as my iZod alligator apparel ;) SEE ALSO: Members Only jackets

1985 :  I am one year old The great Casio Pocket TV I was one of the few TV geeks who carried this thing around back in the 80s. It was black and white, and reminiscent of watching an old B/W tv set through a bug screen, but it worked. The earphone wire made for the antenna, so it didn't have that great of reception some places. I had the backlight for it which made it easier to watch in low light, but it drained the batteries pretty quickly.

1987 :  I am 3 years old The Donna Reed Show I was a "Donnaholic" back in the late 80's thanks to Nick at Nite ;) SEE ALSO: The Donna Reed Show
