If they're not available, how 'bout the Scarecrow and Mrs. King?

"There was nothing to question about Bert n' Ernie living together" - heheheee, we have a comedy show where they are gay and do lots of funny stuff. They are single-eyed (to be different) and are called Bernie and Ert.

And... I am still proud owner of a Commodore-64

This sums up like my entire childhood, and I have such fond memories of almost everything on that list!! This gave me such a smile today, thanks IAKG!

GermanSteve, we still have a Commodore-64 stashed away in our basement family room...they had the coolest games on it!! I should get it hooked up and play some this weekend.

Geez...
I'm sorry ya'll, but I didn't care much for the 80's

Who remembers when "the long national nightmare" was over?
(knowing full well it had nothing to do with water OR a gate)

Who still thinks of John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino?

What about polyester leisure suits?

...big afros

"Dynomite!" ?

Who remembers when "All in the Family", "M*A*S*H", "The Brady Bunch" and "Happy Days" weren't re-runs? (all new episodes)

What about "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and Mary Tyler Moore?

Bell Bottom pants or -Heaven forbid- Elephant Ears (I actually had a pair of those)

Ooops! I guess this stuff belongs on a different thread.... Sorry

and extra big shoulder pads....put a football player to shame, they did! If you shrugged your shoulders you'd knock those earrings into a spin and fall over! Never hurt your head though....cause it was like a helmut with the products in it!

And the sweaters! omg.... sequins, sequins, sequins

We can't forget.........his great purpleness either....Prince!
AND seeing movies via VCR in our own homes.......lol they were the size of a small desk back then!

and finally........Banana clips!!!!!! ah, yes the eighties...the decade both my kids hit their teens. I remember it well!!!!!

I remember everything above.
My mind still works.

Remember when we saw the shooting of JFK and
the first landing on the Moon on TV.

The Viet Nam War

How about Car 54 Where Are You?
The Lone Ranger, Gun Smoke.

The Beatles on the Ed Suliven Show
Mama's and The Papa's
The Rolling Stones
The Greatful Dead & Free LSD 25

Oh sorry that was the late 60's

OK - Here was my typical Friday night outfit. The funny thing was, it appealed to some women. I actually hooked up alot wearing this shit. Tell me, is this not the sterotypical 80's get-up?


A Skinny white Leather tie, a pair of high top Grey Capezios ( that's right - the dance shoes ), the flock of seagulls hair cut with lots of gel and hairspray ( atleast 6" high at the top of my head ), turquoise Girbault pants ( anyone remember those ) that were REALLY wide around the thigh and REALLY snug around the ankle ( for that hipster/genie look that we were all going for ) that also had the built-in bulging crotch ( YEE - HA), a pink tank top, a yellow shirt with grey polka dots unbuttoned almost to my waist, the requisite gold chain and last but not least, the waist length, double breasted, shoulder padded " eisenhower jacket", also grey. Yep, with that gear on I was ready to conquer the nightcludbs of upstate NY, hahaha! Bascially, I looked alot like Nicholas Cage in "Valley Girl" - which is another classic 80's reference.

Hell, I wore a similar ensemble to my college graduation.....

How hideous! I guess that's why I stick to wearing all-black now.

A fun thread. Thanks for the recall, IAKG.

Cheers,

Superfreak

...and now the chorus to "I Ran" runs through her head for the rest of the day...

SMURFS...Arrrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!

IAKG, you had me on most of those 80s bullets. I'm originally from Miami and so I was into Miami Vice. I had a huge picture of Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas in my dorm room at school. I also owned a white linen jacket which I wore with bright blue pants and a t-shirt. And, of course, I had the half shaven look going with the shoulder length hair.
