Yeah, I'll be ticked, too, though I sure can see them doing it, given his age.
Time to break out the old cassette tapes I guess.
Maybe the 'nerds' were just too busy to participate...
...preferring to get their 'revenge' instead, in 'real time'...
One thing that really bugs me with all of the retro 80's stuff is that there is one significant group that's always left out. The hard core loadie/hoods - the guys with long hair (not gay LA hairspray big hair) with black jeans, a slayer or Iron Maiden t-shirt and a leather or jean jacket with slayer, Metallica, Maiden, AC/DC, WASP, OZZY, Judas Priest, Death, Megadeth, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd patches.
They just lump that in with the hariband fags who these guys totally despised.
Saw that TMNT trailer last week ... my wife didn't believe it until she saw it herself. The revenge of the 80s!
When I started grad school this fall, I was shocked to see all the freshmen girls dressed like early Madonna or the Bangles. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that teens today are too young to remember the 80s the first time.
As an older Gen Yer (1981), I have enough respect for the 80's to remember my leg warmers and butterfly bangs warmly, but to not return to them. Now, they need to do a remake of the Wuzzles.
I was in college in the 80s, listen to way more 80s music than most people my age, and loved the movies in the 80s...maybe cause I have the 70s to be embarassed about instead!
Sorry, that's my geekdom coming through. Fans of "The Thunderbirds" like now that Gerry Anderson said the term "F.A.B." he used in the series instead of "Roger" when they spoke on the radio didn't have a true meaning and just stood for "fabulous".
Are you kidding? Peg wouldn't cook or clean! She spent all Al's money! She wasn't any good at all!!
