177. You spent an inordinate amount of time "feathering" your hair.

178. You carried your cell phone in a bag and had to plug it into your cigarette lighter before you could use it.

179. You remember bringing toast and an umbrella to The Rocky Horror Picture Show (do they still do this?).

180.  Your roller skates had four wheels and two axles.

181. You still laugh out loud whenever someone says the quote, "Hey, that kangaroo just stole my ball!"

182. You wore bell bottoms the *first* time they were hip.

Commenting on various things from earlier.

Molly Ringwold was cute, not hot, there is a distinct difference between the two of them. Cute is more innocent and less sexual than hot.  :police: I had a big crush on Molly Ringwold and still do (Kerry Green too, anyone remember her, very short career).

I STILL own a pair of underwear that are red and blue (superman color scheme), they have been in the regular rotation for like 10 years now. Although I have like 50 pairs of underwear, so they literally just seem to last forever. They are actually my lucky underwear, so I only wear them on special occasions.  ;D

Kerri Green still does work, though not in a while now.  Last thing I saw her on was ER.

Every Friday night @ midnight....other theaters, select times only, and those losers frown on bringing "enhancements" to the show.....honest to Pete, that's the exact wording I read!



I STILL own a pair of underwear that are red and blue (superman color scheme), they have been in the regular rotation for like 10 years now. Although I have like 50 pairs of underwear, so they literally just seem to last forever. They are actually my lucky underwear, so I only wear them on special occasions.  ;D


OK, first of all, I will NEVER be able to stop wondering if you were wearing your red/blue underwear when you made the trip up here, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT MENTAL IMAGE!  Secondly, no one EVER needed to know ANYTHING about your underwear collection.  Thirdly, c'mon, you CAN'T have "lucky" underwear.  There are "gettin' lucky" underwear, the "wink wink nudge nudge" kind, and you've gotta have those stashed away for your wedding day, right.....that's rhetorical, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION! ;D  Fourth, and lastly, as Santoro said, too much information.

All who could have went to their grave not knowing one single thing about Paigeoliver's underwear raise their hand.

Remember those nice red and blue undies you wore while watching captain kangaroo?  ;D

another good drive in movie I'd have love to seen was Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"....  always had an affinity for that movie, and after seeing the idea play out in "Twister", that's one I'd love to see.....

Heh Heh, I have the Shining recorded on my TIVO.

I was watching it the other night, what a GREAT movie (if you liked the movie, you gotta read the book, its 10 times better)

Only problem was "shmokes" kept flashing in my mind
