THE BEST AND WORST OF THE 1980s (vanity)
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:

I remember penny loafers being a big deal in the 50's (unless of course, the Penny Loafers you're referring to is some kind of 80's musical group I fortunately missed completely!). Whether penny loafers were good or bad depended on your viewpoint (I liked them, but then I was just a kid. At least I hated saddleshoes.). Larry Bird doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the divine Mrs. Thatcher and Ronaldus Maximus.

Did you see the movie White Wedding with Louise Fletcher as the mother?

"Larry Bird doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the divine Mrs. Thatcher and Ronaldus Maximus."

Finally some reason!

The first Dire Straits was great, but Making Movies and Love Over Gold were masterpieces.

Making Movies is my favorite. Tunnel of Love is a great song.

She had a healthy figure back in the day. However, given her pictures from 2000 on IMDB, time hasn't been kind to her face.

Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!



I still get chills when I hear a tape of him saying that.

Telegraph Road is one of my all-time faves, especially the live version on Alchemy.

I just looked at more recent pictures of her and you're right. But I guess you have to give her credit for not succumbing to the draw of plastic surgery.
