Fuck the Parkinson's, the Dr just gave me a reason to smoke MORE!

I really don't miss the 80s.

Well, okay, I totally missed the 80s. I was locked into a strange time-warp parallel universe, where wives were submissive/obedient to their lords and masters husbands, children were beaten "to break their will", and liberals were spawn of the devil, trying to destroy our country. Oh, and I wore a headcovering and cape dresses. I escaped in the mid 90s.

I have, however, discovered amazing music from the 80s! I LOVE 80s music.

Did you wear top siders with that Members Only jacket . You wouldn't have lasted long in the Bars and Clubs I lived in , we even used to cut those little "gators" off peoples polo shirts .
If anyone had shown up in a Red leather jacket and a glove they woulda wished they were dead .
Good Times .

 

[satyrday]

^LOL - no I never had the real "cool" stuff. I liked to blend in. But I did enjoy watching all the freaks.

500 for the Rudester!!!

Edit: Freaks = MJ. Lame = little alligator, members only and topsiders (I came dangerously close but backed away)

I just spit ginger ale all over my monitor. Thanks.

I did love that New Wave Hooker look of girls in the 80s. Heavy blue eye shadow, wild hair and kinky miniskirts with giant polka dots.

Sounds like Enchantre missed that one entirely! Now is your time to unleash! Pictures!

Cheapest I remember in the mid-80's was 80-100, but I wasn't in the mainstream nor the most connected guy.

I didn't even try cannabis until 1986! Even then, I was only getting small amounts, and I can't remember how much I paid.

In 1979 I was in leather , all leather. Pants , Tee shirts , jacket , belts and spikes . spikes on everything . I had 12 earrings and tricolor hair and road a motorcycle in Florida . I had good reason to carry my Charter arms Bull Dog 44 as I lived in the land of the Rednecks . I still don't Know why people thought I was the Freak . It was a rough and tumble time , and I still don't know how I'm the only person that I hung out with to make it through the late 70s and early 80s without a broken nose . That was when I received the nickname " RUDE BOY " . I'm much mellower 30 years on .

EDIT: I still love "NEW WAVE HOOKER GIRLS " poodle sweaters miniskirts torn fishnet stockings with Doc Martins . You can't go wrong , but Wrap that Rascal .

 

[Enchantre]

I'll even give away my age here... I was in my 20s during the 80s. I would have been awesome as a New Wave Hooker-looking, wild haired person.

This was me at 15, still in the 70s:

 

[satyrday]

^Yes you would have! (still can be I bet)

You coulda been my older sis (or New Wave Hooker).

 

[Tweek]

I always was, and always will be, that guy you never suspect

 

[satyrday]

You sure you want to stick with tax law, Enchantre? Maybe you need to become the wild woman good witch of the west - Herbalist Extraordinaire!

 

[Tweek]

She really does look like a sweet little hippy gal in that photo, doesn't she? And Rude Boy, why give up the leathers, man? I bet you are still a stud in the old gear.

 

[satyrday]

The Rudester's 80s sounds like Motley Crue "Too Fast For Love" (great album!):

 

[Tweek]

Seriously, RudeBoy just became my idol...leather & spike wearing Florida bad ass.

 

[satyrday]

^I only saw that on TV!

 

[Tweek]

^I only saw that on TV!

Miami Vice?

 

[satyrday]

^Yeah the leather boys were on the fringes stirring things up for the pastel topsiders. But especially MTV!!

 

[Vicki]

Miami Vice?

I loved 80's TV too! This show started in the 70's, but went into the early 80's. We own the whole series and the movies on DVD. We got to meet Lou Ferrigno this past March at MegaCon too.

 

[satyrday]

A friend of mine smuggled in a little hash from Europe and I had my Charlie Manson Helter Skelter moment with the newly released "Shout at the Devil" (not that I masterminded demented murders - Helter Skelter is actually on the album!).

I was just young when that show came out, and every time Bill Bixby turned into the hulk, I took off...it was freaky!

 

[satyrday]

I watched the Hulk faithfully! (at least early on)

^in a quieter moment

 

[Vicki]

I was only 10 when that show came out in 1977. I was never afraid of the Hulk. I always just saw him as David. David would never kill, so the Hulk wouldn't either. Except that one episode where David was trying to cure himself (AGAIN) and injected something right into his carotid artery. It went terribly wrong and made David evil, thus making the creature evil too. That was when I started to have the nightmares because they would both kill!

I do love the 80's.....

 

[satyrday]

^Ahhh - another one that arrived in time for the summer of love.

I remember that Evil David episode, btw. Another magical series from the 70s I wouldn't miss was 6 Million Dollar Man.

 

[Tweek]

It was the eyes!

 

[Vicki]

Somehow I like this better than The Avengers.

It's weird seeing Kirk's Dad play Thor.
