When I was a kid, you could write "Star Wars" on a brown paper bag, filled it with fresh dog poop, and I would have paid $5 for it--just because it said "Star Wars".

I remember most of those things.
@Moo. Um, I have Wham's first album. 
And a few from K-tel.
@UR. I thought the "invisible dog" leashes were lame myself and Ummm, I have the Shaun Cassidy song on 45....

UR- you probably saw me walking my invisible dog.
And Moo, I looked damn hot in those parachute pants so I'm sure they were not stupid or cheesy. I couldn't get my ankles in them now. sigh... 
Me- BS

Ah yes. The Pacer!
You mean the fishbowl on wheels?
Yep!
You know what else was "in"? Littering. Seriously. It's embarrassing now, but back then it was nothing to chuck trash out the car window. Done with your milkshake? Throw it out the window. Ashtray overflowing? Throw it out the window. WTH were we thinking?

Oh my dear lord....there is evidence in a yearbook of me in parachute pants....ughhh 
But don't even think of messing with my moon boots....ugly but warm.
I felt like a rockstar when I was wearing my parachute pants tucked into my moon boots as I slammed the door of my Grandpa's Pacer with my one gloved hand.
Oh yeah...I was COOL!

Leisure Suits for grown up guys on the prowl....in fact, when I was 17, and my fiance got his first computer....the first computer game we played was called "Leisure Suit Larry"....it was a hoot!
Oh, and I had a mood ring, but it would only turn red and black.
And everybody was Kung Fu fighting.....la la la ....in fact, me and my brother used to practice kicking at each other all the time.
And my bicycle had a banana seat and it was purple, with streamers on the handlebars.
