I love you, pauraque. :} I've finally gotten to the stage where I don't have to remind myself that you're male.

I'm slightly tempted to do this myself, but... No. I've moved beyond Jem, damn it. That time is over for me. >:D (says she who got all excited over finding a members only jacket in the thrift store only this past summer...)

This is fascinating! I don't even have any idea what most of this stuff is! A few things pre-date the 80s (in fact, I can't help suspecting that fringe on handlebars was bigger in the 70s).

The only especially 80s ones that go for me (having been Much Too Old for a lot of this) are:

After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know what you are, but what am I?" (I STILL say this)
You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up" (Do you remember the one about Christ at a disco, "I've risen but I can't get down"?)

and the socks over tights under high tops thing. I did that a lot.

Yeah, I was baffled by most of this. Maybe we need the Old Geezers' Edition.

Although I do remember what Michael Jackson used to look like.

I think I do, but then when I see a picture I am always shocked.

Oh, and your RH icon is GORGEOUS. and it looks great with the little patch of dark red I've chosen to represent you.

(Another 70s thing, from my perspective ;)

Thanks. It's a shot from rehearsals from the film. I very likely got it from here. I wonder what ever happened to Larry Viezel... I always used to see him at conventions, buying and selling photos. The page hasn't been updated since 2002, and the last event it lists is something I actually went to, the Bawdy Caste show at the Reno ArTown festival. That was probably the last big RHPS event I attended.

40. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonald's.

Dear gods but I feel old. I was the McDonald's clown hosting these parties ;)

Is there a late 70's, early 80's addition of this ;)

35. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know what you are, but what am I?"

I've always wondered where that came from...
