After receiving numerous complaints that the 1970s sucked and were not worthy of a vanity thread, here at the Pissant/CPOWife Research Center we've decided to select a decade that had more worthwhile activities to ponder. Though many positive events developed during the 1980s, there were plenty of stink-bombs as well. To further our research, we encourage everyone to participate in this scientific survey.
Without further ado, the Best and Worst of the 1980s:
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one. :-)
Except I wasn't a nerd! I was the cool jock/stoner/womanizer/straightA student!
And modest too!
That's pretty much how I get ready in the morning too Dasher... Life's too short to spend so much time worring about your hair/face...
Don't tell anybody pissant, this is just between you and I........I have the Thriller and Black and White CD's of MJ and I agree he did have talent before he fell outta the tree. Remember, mum's the word. *~*
"That day, even though I was going to speak to some die-hard Democrats who didn't think much of my economic recovery program, no one had thought my iron underwear would be necessary because my only exposure was to be a thirty-foot walk to the car. I never saw Hinckley at the Hilton, only the crowd of reporters outside the hotel. In the hospital, I learned he had gone to a movie, Taxi Driver, and fallen in love with an actress in the picture and then begun trailing her around the country, hoping to meet her so he could tell her how he felt. Although I have never seen the movie, I'm told there was a scene in it in which there was a shooting; for some reason Hinckley decided to get a gun and kill somebody to demonstrate his love for the actress. I was told he'd plotted to kill Jimmy Carter and had actually stalked him, taking his gun to where Carter was going to be - but he never got the chance so he shot me instead. He was a mixed-up young man from a fine family. That day, I asked the Lord to heal him, and to this day, I still do."
