I love the 80's

At work, our "fun day" this summer (please hold your laughter) is going to be 80's themed (you may laugh now). A recent survey requested by the 80's event planners brought back a lot of great eighties memories for me...I hope it does the same for you (my answers are included below...don't hate, appreciate). Keep in mind that I am probably one of the youngest people on my team, and the average age is probably in the mid-high 30's (just a rough guess), so when they were all rocking out with their feathered bangs, I was being potty trained.
