The Goonies kicked Ass! Ahh...damn some times I wish I was a bit older to enjoy the 80's as much as I enjoy them now!
But I know everything on that list! Muhahahahahha

 

[Renegade]

The 80's kicked ass.

 

[Angel]

Oh MY.

I had BOXLOADS of Garbage Pail kids.
I STILL USE my Pizza Hut Care bear glasses!

I used to drool constantly over every male in the brat back.
LOL

 

[Angel]

The Goonies kicked Ass!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY
YOOOOOOU
GUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!

 

[Xander]

Dont forget about the fatboy belly jelly dance LOL

I however, think that the 80's majorly sucked.

 

[Cync]

I however, think that the 80's majorly sucked.

BLASPHEMY!!!

 

[Xander]

BLASPHEMY!!!

I have my reasons Cync. 80-84 was okay.
Then it pretty much sucked ass until 1992

 

[Mistress]

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

 

[Cync]

I was just kidding around with you Xander - we've all got our memories though. Seemed like such a fun decade.

Only qualification missing from the above list was:

46) Knowing all the words to "We Are The World"

 

[Mistress]

I love this song

Artist: USA For Africa
Album: Non Album Tracks
Song: We Are The World
.

There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

( REPEAT CHORUS )

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one

Could have done without the haircut styles though.

 

[Xander]

HEY!! I happend to like my long hair!!
hey there was a god thing right there! I didnt have to grow long hair when grunge emerged. I already had it.

 

[Angel]

Oh lord, remember when all us girls had *The Great Wall O' Bangs?*

LOL

 

[Mistress]

Oh lord, remember when all us girls had *The Great Wall O' Bangs?*

LOL

I never did! LOL! I couldn't fix my hair that way!

 

[Renegade]

Xander, don't try to hide from the facts, dude.

 

[Xander]

Xander, don't try to hide from the facts, dude.

LOL hey Man, the hair style may have been bad back in the mid 80's but damn dude.
I aint kididng you, after it got really long I loved it.
One of the worse hair decisions I ever made, was to cut it off.

 

[Angel]

Oh lord, remember when all us girls had *The Great Wall O' Bangs?*

LOL

I never did! LOL! I couldn't fix my hair that way!

I have slightly coarse, curly hair. I would pull it straight and upward with a curling iron, hold it there and blow dry and hair spray it til it stayed. LOL Then I curled the ends to spiral down.

I feel so cliche. I have a pic of me in 1989 wearing some jeans with zippered ankles and bows, 3 pairs of slouch socks, some purple bobo sneakers and a purple sweater. My bangs are VERY VERY high. I need to scan it someday. LOL

 

[Mistress]

LOL! I use to have the jeans hehehehe

 

[Xander]

Thankfully there isn't many pix of me out there.
Especially from the mid 80's.

Can you tell I'm not very fotogenic?

*cringe from thinking of the ones my mom has*

That was my only regret about the 80's. Oh, that and the leg warmers. I actually wore those!!! I cringe when I look at old pics. What was I thinking?

 

[Renegade]

There are a few pics of me from the 80's, but fortunatly the 80's ended when I was 8 so I have an excuse for looking goofy.
