I remember this kid named Joe made a pair of Hammer pants in our 9th grade Home Ec class...they were HOT!

Remember when Michael Jackson was still black? I had a huge poster of him over my bed (it's true!). Red and I used to listen to "Thriller" with the lights out and scared ourselves silly!

And you know you wore flourescent! I remember this was about 7th or 8th grade for me. I know I had a pair of hot pink biker shorts....sexy, huh?

Now, the Ninja Turtles were more my brothers thing-he had all four of them-you know-the like 18 inch tall ones? And, yes I can name them all-Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Rafael!

Oh, the jelly shoes. I know I had some, don't remember what colors, though.

I LOVED He-Man! Watched it every day after school. If you play your cards right, I may even do the theme song for you...yes, I still remember it. Here's a sample "Only three others share this secret. Our friends The Sorceress, Man-At-Arms and Orco. Together, we defend the secrets of Castle GraySkull from the evil forces of Skeletor!". Sad, I know. I also remember playing He-Man with our cousins Matt and Chris on their farm in Illinois. We always made Red be the stupid girl, She-Ra, I wanted to be one of the cool boy characters! And who knew that He-Man would become a gay icon?

What can I say about New Kids On The Block. I was in love with (and going to marry) Jordan. Red and I had our bedroom walls plastered with their pictures.We saw them twice-once at Six Flags and once at the old Arena. I thought I'd love them forever....

Did anyone have their birthday party at McDonalds? I don't think I ever did. Mom, didn't Tim have one there? Or am I making that up?

Remember tight rolling your jeans? I remember thinking there is no way I will every NOT tight roll my jeans.....

You know you used to put your hair up in a banana clip!

Mullets. I am traumatized by my 4th grade mullet (and, no, you cannot see a picture of it). My mom says it was all the rage and I really wanted that cut. Horrifying.

Wasn't that time fun? What other 80's/90's stuff do you remember?

Canada-somehow, I don't doubt that! You are such a silly boy.... :)
What's wrong with you???
Why do you have a picture of an old man for "I've fallen and I can't get up"? Everyone knows that it is an elderly lady. You might as well have that guy saying "Where's the Beef?"
ok, i thought it was an old lady too...whomever started the email i got those pix from better check their facts next time! :)
I guess I'll let it slide then.
On a separate note, Slippery When Wet was the first tape I owned. Talk about a CLASSIC!!!!
Canada-I always knew I liked you for a reason. Now I know what it is-you are the coolest man alive. Do you still have your Slippery When Wet tape? My first tape that I can remember is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Classic.
I am sure it is probably over at my parents somewhere . . . over with all of the other tapes and records floating around. You probably can't relate . . . didn't you grow up in the 8 track era (or area)???
oooo...them's fightin' words, Tessier! are you daring to call me OLD? I'll have you know that I don't even know what an 8 track looks like, thank you very much.
Be careful . . .
One false move and the Dolphin get's it!!!
P.S. : As if, you probably had 8 track earrings when you were in high school
don't bring the dolphin into this, he didn't do anything wrong! (as if i even know where that thing is...). 8 track earrings, huh? you are walking a fine line my friend. a fine line.
