Since so many on here are 'pairing off' into their own generational groups...and I cannot join any of them because I a member of the loathed GenX group, *I* am going to start a thread of my own, featuring MY website. JimRob, if this is not suitable for your site, I understand if you take it off, but I cannot help myself. The others are having just too much fun!

So, my fellow 80s children, what was your fav music/event/fashion/movie from the decade that featured the best darn President of the 20th century, Ronaldus Magnus????

You'll have to go to my website to see mine!! *wink* *wink*!! LOL

Oh I had forgotten about that...(whoo hoo, patrick Swayze...another hot 80s stud!!...anyone remember North and South??????)...

Yes, Red Dawn was AWESOME...scary...but you know with all this shadow war going on now, ***I WANT THE COLD WAR BACK...!!!*** At least we knew who our enemies were...

I remember those first BBS's and Zork and the damned PC Jr. my Dad bought. That thing did little well. The manual for Bank Street Writer was 3 inches thick.

Printer paper back then was pretty terrible too.

Remember Reagan vs Momar Quadaffi(sp?)? ... You cross this line, I kill you.... uuhh,, ok, you cross this new line... I kill you... Ok cross this line you really dead. And if he had not been living in the TENT next to his HQ he would not be around anymore. I am glad Bush jr. has had some Reagan training.

[gjenkins]

Brit comedy series Monty Python (70's), The Goodies, The Young Ones, and The Comic Strip.

Bump for ABC After School Specials!

[Alkhin]

was Adam Curry the VJ who was tall and blonde??? Or maybe not...what WAS his name???? HE WAS CUTE...unfortunately, I did not have MTV, so I missed out on its heyday...had to settle for Friday Night Videos...and very often could not watch that either...cable was expensive then...

I am glad Bush jr. has had some Reagan training.

LOL...I like the way you put that!! ME TOO!! GO GW!!!

Duran Duran, Top Gun, Neon clothes, Berlin Wall coming down (OK that was at the very end of the eighties)

[Alkhin]

ROFL!!

[soccermom]

I remember that well. We were stationed in Germany at the time and my dad was the DO for the F-16 fighter wing and helped orchestrate the attack. I can remember our high school being under highest security alert.

I also memorized the songs from "License to Ill"...

Remember this one: "Now here's a little story I got to tell, about 3 bad brothers you know so well..."
I could still probably sing all the songs right along with the Beasties!

[soccermom]

Does anyone remember the muscle shirts with the Japanese writing on them?

[stainlessbanner]

Yep - Adam Kurry had the long curly blond hair; kurt loader was the other guy (I think he's still around) that did the news; Martha Quinn was cool, too.

[soccermom]

Family Ties is back on Nick-at-Nite! I opted for that over The Left Wing last night.

[Alkhin]

hmmm...maybe hes not the one I am thinking of...the guy I remember the best looked a bit like Cy Cernan of The Fixx, ANOTHER GREAT 80s band!! (Love The Fixx!!)

[Benrand]

Is it ALan Hunter you are thinking of? Adam Curry had the Warrant hair, IIRC.

[Alkhin]

Yep, I think it was Alan Hunter...what a cutie...heheheheheheh

[CounterCounterCulture]

BTW, love the nick, CounterCounterCulture....totally!!

Thanks! My name just screams out against the 60s pot-smokin', tree-hugging, hippy boomer counterculture. TO THE MAX! Fer sure!

We can dance if we want to...we can leave your friends behind...cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well, they're no friends of mine
