Oh and my favorite...black stirrup pants with white socks and some crazy colored flat pointy shoe...how friggin ugly!

My high school years....82 - 86. I was there! :)
 
The 80's was an awesome decade, I feel sorry for those who weren't in High School or at least Jr. High. It was a total blast until Kurt Cobain ruined it all....
 
Sean Scott said:
what about painters pants with a big comb in the pocket sweet!!!!


Your thinking Parachute pants dude...but the comb/parachute pants was NOT a cool combination in my neck of the woods. Parachute pants and Nike Hi-Tops were ok....but the comb was just completely OUT of the question. Especially when you had awesome hair. You were too cool for a comb at that point.
 
I fell for the shot through the heart thing. I felt dumb singing then read on and verified.
 
we didnt have computers when I was in school. nop Im serious. maybe by the time I was in my last 2 yrs of college, we had computer "labs" but I dont even know or remember if we had windows or internets
 
55. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

I was in the Navy then, hence short fuggin hair. My tie was pulled down after a heavy night of drinking. Also had lost my tie bar on my collar by then.

Surprised you didn't comment on the lightweight Member's Only jacket.
 
The 80's was all about the hair man...us dudes had our Duran Durans,( :rainbow: ) , and our Motley Crues/Poisons/Ratts etc.

The girlies had their Madonas, and their Go-Go's, and their Cyndi Laupers...it was a perfect balance.
 
ahhh nothing better than getting up early on saturday morning to watch garfield and friends ... lol ohh the nostalgia
 
Graduated HS in 1987.....so a lot of those appy....

I think I went thru a can of hair spray a week to get my hair to stay that big...
 
What about the velcro wallets with the heavy metal bands on them. Or the Kangaroos (shoes) Oh wait I got it...What about that 8" comb sticking out of the back pocket of your jeans or should I say parachute pants.

What about the A Team? I always wanted to be "howlin mad murdock"
"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."
