d20 Eighties

[Greg K]

Things about 80's TV which I detested yet many people liked:
A-Team
Knight Rider
He-Man
GI Joe
Thundercats
Transformers
Smurfs

On the otherhand, we did get Robotech, MacGuyver, and Miami Vice. Therefore, I guess 80's TV was not all bad.

Everybody wanted to know who shot JR.

Actually, not everyone. I didn't care then. I don't know now. I still don't care to know.

I'm with ya on Thundercats, but everything else was awesome... which 80's were YOU living in?

There are no web pictures of me from the 1980's on the web, but imagine this all-too common sight:

5'7" 193lbs

Sony Walkman pumping tapes with Metal (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dokken etc.) or New-Wave (U2, Devo, Siouxsie & the Banshees, etc.)

Black semi-mesh T-shirt.

Black & White button up short sleeve shirt worn open over it. Pattern? 8 panels, each with a different pattern (stars, chevrons, lightning bolts, hawaiian, etc).

Black & White Velcro fly pants, super baggy (but not parachute) with an op-art/3-D illusion/TV interference pattern.

Black & White Suspenders with either 1) Peace Symbols or 2) Skull and Crossbones (almost gave them to Geoff Tate at an Operation: Mindcrime publicity & autograph session).

Platinum White Sperry Top-Siders...without socks

Black wraparound bug-eyed sunglasses...(similar to Bono's Zooropa glasses)

Mullet and/or ponytail down to my shoulderblades. Goatee. Jon Butcher had NOTHING on my hair!

Did I mention I'm black?

BTW...I liked "Bullets & Mullets"

One I wish I could have skipped except then I would not have made the friends I did.

Bullets and Mullets

We have a title anyway!

In the UK, it'd be stuff like the Thatcher years in government, CND marches and anti-nuclear campaigners, the miners strike, city yuppies and redevelopment of London's docklands. TV: Edge of Darkness, Dr Who with Ace as assistant, ridiculous hairstyles - Use Hairspray has to be a skill!

Just watched Buckaroo Banzai last night (for like the fourth time -- originally saw it in the theatres).

Sigh.

Perfect Tommy, Reno, Pinky, New Jersey, Penny... where are you now?

Frolet?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Close, but no cigar!

Mine really was more like Jon Butcher's hair...curly, shiny, and all going from front to back.

Use Hairspray has to be a skill!

Or a Disadvantage.
