Nope. Well, kinda, but not much.

Some, yes, but not many.

Part of them, anyhow.

See notes on how I cried when Mom got me a Menudo lunch box, back in Elementary school.

20. you remember bellbottoms from the first time they were around and refuse to wear them now because of it...
Nope! I don't wear them because they'd make me look like a triffid.

21. somewhere in an attic rests your collection of starwars figures, transformers, and g.i.joes..
Attic? Hell, in my room, and the basement, and my parent's basement...

22. and you have some of the full sized g.i.joes
Yes, but they're dad's from the 50s that he handed me down.

Kitt, absolutely. The General Lee was kinda cool, but I hated the color.

29. all the stuff that you had as a kid is making a comeback....20some years later....
It's a bit creepy, but at least I might be getting a cheap God Ginrai out of it.
