You're stuck between the Baby Boomers and Generations X'ers if:
1. You remember when Jordache jeans with a flat handle comb in the back pocket was cool.
2. In your class picture you were wearing an Izod shirt with the collar up.
3. You know by heart the words to any Weird Al Yankovic song (Just eat it, eat it, don't make me repeat it...)
4. You ever rang someone's doorbell and said "Landshark!"
5. Three words: ATARI, IntelliVision and Coleco, sound familiar.
6. You remember the premier of MTV, in fact, you remember the Friday Night Videos before the days of MTV.
7. A predominant color in your childhood photos is plaid.
8. While in high school, you and your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play Prince's "1999" until you passed out partying.
9. You remember when music that was labeled alternative, really was alternative. And when alternative comedy really was funny.
10. You took family trips BEFORE the invention of the minivan.
11 You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you.
12. You've recently horrified yourself by using any one of the following phrases: When I was younger...When I was your age...You know,back when...
13. Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language (Conjunction junction, what's your function....).
14. You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna or Cyndi Lauper video.
15. The first time you ever kissed someone at a dance came during either "Crazy for You" or "Leather and Lace".
16. You remember with pain the sad day when the Green Machine hit the streets and made our old Big Wheel quite obsolete.
17. The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
18. You honestly remember when film critics raved that no movie could ever possibly get better special effects than those in the movie TRON.
19. You had a crush on either Ted the photographer on The Love Boat, Gage from Emergency or Ponch the motorcycle cop from CHiPs.
20. Your hair at some point in time in the 80's became something which can only be described by the phrase, "I was experimenting."
21. You've shopped at a Benetton.

17. Have the magnifying glass and a good friend wrote those commercials.

Gee, I don't know where I am stuck?
HELP?
I remember "Where's the beef" but I never really thought it was funny. Now I would laugh like crazy, if I had made the money that one old lady made off of that commercial.

Generation X is a term used to describe generations in the United States and other countries born between the approximate years of 1965 to 1981,[1] the late 1950s and 1960s,[2] or 1968 to 1979,[3] depending on the source. The term has been used in demography, the social sciences, and marketing, though it is most often used in popular culture

Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born during the Post-World War II baby boom between 1946 and 1964.[1][2] Following World War II, several English-speaking countries – the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand – experienced an unusual spike in birth rates, a phenomenon commonly referred to as the baby boom.[3] The terms "baby boomer" and "baby boom", along with others expressions, are also used in countries with demographics that did not mirror the sustained growth in American families over the same interval.

Man, I must be older then dirt. Were not to many TV shows on the boob tube, Long Ranger and Tonto, Howdy Duty, shoot, still had an out house back then. The girls wore home made dresses made from flour or feed sacks.
You know, back then, family was family, friends were friends, and sharing was common.
This may have been a bit off topic but it did bring many memories back to a much different time. For this, I thank you.
