(submitted by Marybeth)

10. Your police record didn't have any outstanding warrants on it yet in the 80s. (HOLDEN GEEZERLY)
9. Having a pet rock named Harold that you talk to now lands you in a psyche ward. (The Frunkus Kid)
8. When you listen to Huey Lewis and the News, it's on the oldies station. (Wools)
7. Half your income is no longer spent on hair gel and mousse. (rorschak)
6. Actually it hasn't changed that much - you still don't get any action at Spring Break but at least now it's just because you are bald, fat, and 45 (sageandscholar)
5. Now whenever you hear a Rick Astley song, it means you've fallen for a prank. (Outsyder)
4. You don't know and don't care if your cable system even offers MTV. (lefty)
3. In the eighties we wanted a wall torn down. Now we want a fence built. (Chuck1863)
2. You don't have to wake up at an obscene hour to watch Saturday morning cartoons anymore...you have TiVo now. (Raven)
1. Making a phone call; 1980: "Hi! Is John there?", 2010: "Hi John! Where are you?" (Squeezette)
