Yes, from Valu Village :)
7. Who is your favorite Golden Girl?
The ditzy one, I think.

Ghostbusters! And, the "latch key kids" class my sibs and I took, because for some reason, they used that as an "If there's trouble, who are you going to call?" line.
9. What was your favorite toy?
I'll have to go with Barbie, much to my shame.
10. Did you have a Pogo Ball?
A what?

No, and didn't watch the show, either.
14. Did you watch The Care Bears?
Yes, but only when there was nothing else on.

Yes, and Nana was sure to remind me every time she saw it about how she stood in the cold for 2 hours with teeming throngs of humanity waiting for the store to open so she could buy it.

Strawberry Shortcake. Got one for my birthday from a friend in 2nd grade.

Ms. Pac Man, please!
31. Which was better: Jem and The Holograms or Barbie and The Rockers?
Jem, but I never saw the Barbie thing.
32. He-Man or She-Ra?
She-Ra, duh!
33. What movie scared you the most?

No.

Well, sure! My memories of several important pieces of classical music are forever tarnished with blue.
