Pissant/SSCPOW Research Center | 6/6/05 | SilentServiceCPOWife & Pissant

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:

Agreed. Though U2 tried to sound "important" even then

The 1987-1988 Lakers.

Simply the best basketball teams of all time.

The 80's were the best years ever in the history of mankind!

(However "the 80's" were my 20's, so I think that had a lot to do with it.)

Ditto. I turned 20 in January 1980. I was in my 20s the entirety of the 1980s. Good times.

Another one of my favorite things from the 80's. Keep in mind that I was a teenager at the time.

Well, that explains that.


But "Ebony and Ivory" was in the eighties and just as bad.


"Aw Paul, I'm a lover, not a fighter..."

BLECH!

I was at the Challenger Launch. - for days....

Readers Digest Version of the story...
Went for the launch - delayed for several days.
I had NIGHTMARES every night about the shuttle taking off and falling back to the ground and hitting near us on the beach. Each night, for say five nights - I woke up freaking out about this. I finally talked my group into leaving town and heading back to Palm Beach.

The next day, it crashed.

You can't tell me that the ZZ Top "Legs" video was better than Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love" video.

Seriously.
