1988

[bg23]

Just wait till you hit 30, babe.

I can't wait.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I've never heard of Duran Duran.

You're kidding me.

 

[Weird Harold]

Damn, I was doing pretty well at not feeling old until you mentioned that, WH.

How do you think I feel? I was getting ready to retire and already feeling "old" THEN. It doesn't make feel all that much older to remember 1988. Being reminded of 1958, is another story, though.

No...

What?

I guess I don't feel so bad now, but hitting 30 was a real shock to the system. I don't get carded for alcohol anymore! Wahh!

This was no ordinary boy band!

This is muthafckin' Planet Earth

They have Botox and a new single that rocks, ooh la la.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

I've never heard of Duran Duran...

I DO know that Duran Duran got their name from a character in Barbarella starring Jane Fonda.


That’s a perennial Trivia question.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I can't seem to remember anything about that movie except Jane Fonda wearing a see-through plastic top.

What else is there?

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

I remember Jane Fonda in a glass room being attacked by the peckers of a flock of budgies.


Hitchcock it was not!


Or perhaps I'm thinking of that bubble dancer who used doves instead of bubbles . . . whatsername?

 

[carsonshepherd]

I remember Jane Fonda in a glass room being attacked by the peckers of a flock of budgies.

I thought I dreamed that.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I thought I dreamed that.

You did, it just wasn't the same sort of peckers maybe?

 

[carsonshepherd]

You did, it just wasn't the same sort of peckers maybe?

I fucking hate parakeets.

 

[cantdog]

What else is there?

One great line.

"Angels have no memory."

How could anyone forget the "Orgasmatron" or the sex pills.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

How could anyone forget the "Orgasmatron". . .

Oh YEAH!

That filthy slut wore it out!

 

[Weird Harold]

Oh YEAH!

That filthy slut wore it out!

Or how about the Evil Queen with her black eyepatch and white dominatrix outfit.

The curling hair and smoke coming from their ears in the sex pill scene had me rolling on the floor.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Or how about the Evil Queen with her black eyepatch and white dominatrix outfit....

Any movie with an Orgasmatron, cannibalistic dolls, soft porn and a crucified angel, can’t be all bad.

Those cars lasted FOREVER! I drove a used one through college. It had a flashlight rigged to shine on the dash, since the instrument lights didn't work. It was patched together with duct tape and spray painted. The damned thing drank a quart of oil for each tank of gas, but it just kept going. Finally, the frame cracked after about 225,000 miles.

Me too, I don't own a damn thing with the word Swatch on it anymore.

My first car was a 1978 Dodge Aspen. (This was in 1991 BTW.) That thing was a bullet. Fast, but heavy enough to hug the road when flying over those curves. I miss that car.

You forgot about The Maverick, lol.

My first car was a 1976 Caprice Classic, forest green with no seat belts. My parents loved me.

that was only a car in the most basic sense of the word.

It had wheels, and an engine. But my mom wouldn't let me drive it anywhere but school.

Mine, received in 1994, was a 69 Ford stepside shortbed, no power anything and 3 on the tree standard transmission. Gawd, I miss that truck.
