Best memory = Leaving school :P

Fav 80's things = Stay pressed trousers and Oxford shoes (UK fasion disaster)

In middle school we had dress-up days where you'd dress up like anyone you wanted...
I did boy george (ala culture club when he had the hair, hat, ribbons and baggy clothes) and actually had kids asking me for my fuckin' autograph...
It's the nose. ;)

Flashdance. Top Gun. Point Break. The Lost Boys. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. St Elmo's Fire. The Breakfast Club. Sixteen Candles.

Duran duran. Journey. Whitesnake. White Lion. Poison. Cinderella. Warrant. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. LL Cool J. Kool Moe Dee. Robert Palmer. Motley Crue. LA Guns. Guns N Roses. Metallica. The *real* U2. Michael Jackson. Def Leppard.

Singing at the top of your freaking lungs with the windows rolled down and going through the gears like you were a bonafide race car driver...
"After the boys of summer have gone..."
"How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace"
"Hold me now, it's hard for me to say I'm sorry..."

You didn't end the school year properly unless you were "downy oshun" in Ocean City partying your freaking head off and hanging out at Freak Street.

A floppy disk was this huge flexible square thing that you put tape on the corner if you didn't want to write over it... cassette loading was "ancient".

Walkmen.

Sitting outside of Tower Records in the middle of a crowd of 200 people wearing black leather and chains on the top of your car screaming "MASTER! MASTER!" waiting for midnight so they'd open the fucking doors and let us trample each other to be the first to buy Metallica's Black album.

Running down the hall to my friend's room in college bawling my eyes out screaming "It's not true!! It's not true!!!" when Mtv was telling us that Axl Rose had died in a car accident.

Having the guitar intro to "welcome to the jungle" come on the radio and watching my Mom break her neck to turn the radio ALL the way up (she still does, hehe).

Putting up a poster for Megadeth above my bed my first day at college and watching my new roommate turn ghostly white.

Halloween. Freddy. Jason. Rambo.

I'd go back there and live forever if I could. *sigh*

Landmine...
Has taken my sight.
Taken my speach.
Taken my hearrrr-ing.
Taken my arms.
Taken my legs.
Left me with life in HEEEEEELLLLLL...

Don't really remember most of the Eighties - First 3 years were high school followed by 2 years of the Army.

Next 10 years 86-95 were a drunken blur with the much more than occasional addition of cocaine. From which I woke up married to the crypt keeper.

Personally would not trade my post internet life for anything.

Oh hell yeah... Marley Station Mall and Annapolis Mall, you could hear the bass pumping a hundred feet before you got there... :)

I remember when Hammerjacks burned down. :(

I still have my denim jacket around here somewhere with the grim reaper airbrushed on the back, and I *still* wear my ripped-up jeans (for proof just see gonzo's ass-fuck thread, LOL)... hubby still has every concert t-shirt he ever got, rock band bandanas and tapestries, he was the quintessential long-haired ripped-up jeans bandanas on the wrist/thigh/calf white headbanging boy, and he still is, lol... (just working on growing that hair back out!)

Nobody will admit it.. there was always that one kid in school who was really good at it. The kid could be ugly as hell but if he could breakdance he was automatically with the in-crowd. I wonder what ever happened to that kid.. hmmm... Anthony? :nyanya:[/b][/quote]
Fuck off.

OG B-Boy proud member of the Zulu Nation.

Look at us now.
Kids, houses, bills out the ying-yang; shaking our head at today's teenagers and scoffing and saying they're spoiled...

Does this all mean we're getting old? :(

I take it you haven't seen Vin Diesel's old breakdancing videos? He weighed like 100 pounds if that much, LOL
Our old breakdancers (Vin, LL Cool J, Anthony lol) - they've all gone and gained weight and gotten buff on us. Probably couldn't do a shoulder spin now for all the neck muscles getting in the way :nyanya:

Floppy... and you could take a hole punch and make it writable on both sides.

I hope Ant takes that as a change for Vegas. I would pay to see that.

Oooooohhh you are going to get in trouble... I'm telling Aly... lol

"What'choo talking 'bout Willis?"

Dallas, JR (Brad HAD to be taking notes), Bobby and the shower...

Whoa, slow down there.

I have no kids. :(

I have no house :(

I hate to break it (Pun intended) to you guys and gals, but I grapple with all my weight on my neck and shoulders quite a bit. With some practice, it shouldn't be too hard to do shoulder spins and windmills again.

Though Carrie is right. I do weigh another 100lbs since last I did those things.

I'm 99.8% certain you avatar offers a clue to this... :nyanya:

If you remember the 80s...you didn't REALLY live them ;-))))

Start practicing.. I'll bring the Boombox, cardboard, and soundtrack to Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that XXXPhoto. (sniffle)

DARKNESS

IMPRISONING ME
ALL THAT I SEE
ABSOLUTE HORROR
I CANNOT LIVE
I CANNOT DIE
TRAPPED IN MYSELF
BODY MY HOLDING CELL

Start practicing.. I'll bring the Boombox, cardboard, and soundtrack to Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo.[/b][/quote]
No, bring kitchen tile instead, the linolieum(sp) stuff.

Do not bring that soundtrack, I have old school CDs. If you must, get the Beat Street soundtrack instead.

I have to see now if I can find parachute pants somewhere that fit me. heh

The Crypt Keeper was my ex wife Mark.

Aly has heard all the horror stories, from both myself and friends who are not full of shit like I am. :)

Aly and I didn't meet until 97 - after I quite drinking and began selling porn

I'm 99.8% certain you avatar offers a clue to this... :nyanya:[/b][/quote]
Wow, thats just wrong bro, but
listen to the .2 % of your brain.

:D

my fave 80s memory has to be November 1985....
Standing at the front of the stage at Club 601 watching The Dead Kennedy's perform on their Frankenchrist Tour....
:wnw:

All I remember is lots of white stuff…

You shoulda swallowed!

I cooked it and smoked it.

I also smoked a few of my exes at the time but that is a whole other story.

Beat street! The king of the beat! You see 'em rockin' that beat from across the street uh-huh-huh
Beat street is a lesson too, because you can't let the street beat you!!

Okay I don't do the floor spins but I *do* do the robot and arm-leg wave moves :okthumb:
(Hey so I'm eclectic - shoot me)

Funny, there are a lot of 80's fans out there but until I sat down and thought about it I didn't realize how many good memories there were for me as well:

My first concerts, seeing Jethro Tull, Rush (about 17 times) and Van Halen. I even got mugged outside Madison Square Garden after the Van Halen show. haha

First girlfriend
First time at um... you know...
Graduating from high school and college
Playing guitar ALL the time
My thick wavy hair (sniffle)
Actually having good abs (hahaha)
Weighing 160 and bench pressing 250

And the number 1 memory for the 80's... just having tons of laughs with my friends. We were really a bunch of goofballs. :)

Those were pretty good years...

:okthumb:

Hmm. I remember my first pubic hair. I was so freaked out, I plucked it!
Then I told a friend and realized I shouldn't have done that -- I was becoming a man.
so the next day I drew one on with a pen.

lol

Maria, Lupita, Rachel, Eloisa, Peggy... :biglaugh:

Yeah, me too. Big time. I definitely helped support Pablo Escobar.

The 80´s sucks! :nyanya:

Do You? cause i could go for one right about now

"Sucks" is a present-tense verb. Using this to describe something that went on more than a decade ago can only mean that you're a product of more recent public schooling, yes?
