It's 80s Friday!!!

[Kool]

All you, Artichoke fearing, Gonna have twins, Stock marketing, Valentines loving, Valentines hating, New grandson acquiring, Hitler’s family pondering, Lego measuring, Attending concerts with morons, Racing to 1K, Quantum leap watching, Sea Monkey raising, Cold, Graphic Designers!!!

Have a great weekend!!! http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/eatdrink042.gif

It's 80s day here at the GDF so comb your mullet, tease up your big hair, put on your Frankie shirt & Members Only jacket and plug in The Breakfast Club. It's 80s party time!!!

I don't know if Morea has time today to set it up but I think an 80s Photoshop party would go down good today.

Republicans, can't live with them, can't shoot them.

Oh wait, apparently you can shoot them.

OMG. I have to Lysol my screen now. I was innocent until about 20 seconds ago. You should get that fungus problem checked out though.

looks good enough to eat!.....or, er, throw?...hehe...chuck it at morea...it'll take her mind off artichokes!... lol.

Hot women, mushrooms and turds. This thread has it all, baby! I'd post up some images from my latest pieces but throwing geriatrics in the mix would set off a riot.

Chuck Norris ate Waldo, and refused to digest him. In other words, Waldo's in hell, and hell is made of Chuck's stomach acid.

Maybe he could use a some concentrated energy to begin posting again while freezing everyone elses keyboard until he reaches 1000 first. Oh wait, he's buckaroob not Chuck Norris.

I kinda feel like Forrest Gump posting like that.

How come when I cut up and eat a pheasant I can't fly?

On the other hand, I cannot wait to be promoted to Admiral Turd Pickler. The huge salary increase, the extra vacation time, and all the turds you can pickle. That's it, guys, I'm going for it. Today's the day for me!

Pickle those turds, soldier!!!

they obviously thought alignment was a chapter from the D&D players manual.

:confused: Ok....this is by FAR the weirdest thread come to the GDF in some time. National Sea Monkey day turns into a flatworm training and evolution program......

Ah...carp! She got out on other threads!! There's no getting her back in the rubber room now?!?

a car mechanic fixes cars... he/she does not turn blocks of mangled metal into fully functional automobiles...

Who knew on a day of mock-bannings that someone actually got banned?

See what happens? You play around with that banning stick and eventually someone gets hit.

I win awards everyday - I make them up and award them to myself - but I still win 'em!

Today I won the sexiest guy at the water cooler award - the only other person around was a warehouse guy, so I won it by a land slide (have you seen some warehouse workers - yikes)

Just because someone says they win awards for their work - doesn't mean it's creditable awards!

That's pretty cool that you won best looking guy by the water cooler....just the other day I won the best looking guy in my cubicle award. They wanted to award it to the cubicle when I was gone, but I started crying so they went ahead and gave it to me.

I don't know how people couldn't enjoy "the lovin". Diffrent strokes for different folks I guess <<--pun totally intended

[morea]

An 80's party sounds great! Let me secure a location and we'll get right on it.

Happy Friday, everybody! :D

[JPnyc]

That's perfect. I feel just about 80 today.

[Drorain]

happy friday!!! looking forward to a long weekend, I took monday off as a floating holiday...nope its not given to us

YAY LONG WEEKEND

[Mynock]

I doesn't see 80's avatars! Friday!

[JPnyc]

I didn't even know it was a holiday until last night. I was telling one of our editors that I can make a change to 1 of the sites 1st thing monday, which is when he informed me we're off.

[Drorain]

I got mine mynock....oh I'm loving yours

[Mynock]

What 80's cartoon is Pidge from?

[G-Man79]

w00zah! Two QOTW mentions...niiiiiiice. Alas, my 1000 post is not a response to Kool's QOTW post but no worries, I'll roundhouse the 1K mark some point today.

Can we have the 80's party at the Max with Screech, A.C. Zack, Kelly, Lisa and the rest of the S.B.T.B gang? Or perhaps at Mr. Miyagi's house?

[Drorain]

voltron mynock...you dont remember voltron?

[jimintn]

FRIDAY!!!!

and I made QOTW for the first time in a while. AAHHHHH, it's good to be back!

[Mynock]

Yeah, Voltron was bitchin'. I didn't watch it much. My buddy did have some of the toys. They were pretty dope.

[G-Man79]

Optimus Prime could definitely put the beat down on Voltron. The Voltron toys were cool though Myn.

I also heard from a cousin's best friend's sisters nephew that Gargamel and Mumrah had a fling in '86. Those naughty naughty villians...

If you want to listen to something funny...dont do it at work....

google 'thundercats bloopers' and click the first link that comes up, its an actual demo reel from the show, and boy Liono and Snarf have quite the mouth

[reuber1]

Happy Friday all. This morning I decided to develop a nasty cold, then got to literally chizel the sheet of ice off of my car, and I'm at work. This day better go really damn quick.

[Drorain]

you should have developed your way right back to bed

[Mynock]

Did your nards freeze off roober?

[reuber1]

you should have developed your way right back to bedProbably, but I need the money and I already had to call in yesterday. Besides, it's a cold, not bird flu. It irritates me though how on Tuesday it was 50 degrees out with no wind, and right now it's 5 degrees out (-15 if you factor in wind chill). Winter can go to hell, and so can snow.

In any case, I loathed the 80s, so I'm keeping my cat avatar.

[Navian]

Yeah, Voltron was bitchin'. I didn't watch it much. My buddy did have some of the toys. They were pretty dope.

The real question is, do you remember the two versions of Voltron: lions, and vehicles?

[G-Man79]

I remember those kicks, Myn. I was always more of a Converse kid growing up. My friends and I would snicker at kids who rocked the BK Knights. Reub, just start blowing your nose on everything and I'm sure you'll be encouraged to clock out early and rest.

[reuber1]

Man, I haven't heard anyone call them "nards" since elementary school!

You've got to veg, man. I'm, like, totally stoked that we're going to have an 80s party this afternoon, cause that is going to rock to the max.

But, like, I can't find anyplace where we can hang!

[TheBluePanda]

Weee for Friday and Weee for 80's!

[Mynock]

My day would be complete with a Prince avatar. He was choice. I would totally got all the way with him. PSYCH!

[LeftBrain Artist]

I've got my 80's avatar groove on - can't wait to see what crazy disguise Hannibal will use next. Morea, you disappoint me - you need to change your location to Cats' Lair. Speaking of which - I stumbled on those outtakes a couple of years ago - they're pretty rad dude.

I give the edge to Muppets on sheer numbers even though Fraggles had pick axes.

The Cosby's vs. The Keaton's
Push.

Alf vs. Howard the Duck
Two words: George Lucas.

Pac-Man vs. Frogger
Even though I enjoyed Frogger more. Did Frogger ever eat ghosts?

[TheBluePanda]

Martina

Wham vs. Fine Young Cannibals
Hello? It's way obvious they ate people.

Don Mattingly vs. Jose Canseco
Two Words: Roid Rage

Bomberman vs. Megman

Freddy vs. Jason....oh wait that was already done. Who won anyway?

[G-Man79]

Marty McFly vs Daniel Larousso
The crane kick is rad but you just don't mess with a dude who has a gnarly scientist for a best friend.

Tiffany vs Debbie Gibson
Ahh yes, the battle of the 80's mall queens. I'm giving to this one to Tiffany for one reason and one reason only: Playboy.

John Bender vs Damone
He messed with the bull and got the horns but still managed to walk into the sunset a winner. And he did bring weed to the library...rad.

Spicoli vs Bill S. Preston, Esq.
Similar to the McFly v. Larousso debate, you have to choose the time traveler everytime.

[Mynock]

Gnarly. He's got the Jim McMahon going on, very nice.

[Logo-Mechanix]

Ferris Bueller vs. D.J Jazzy Jeff

I wish I had some He-Man stuff. :(
I told DH - if I ever find an old He-Man lunchbox - it's MINE. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted that as a kid.

* 1 tblsp Maraschino cherry juice

Mixing instructions:

Mix Whiskey, Bitters, and Cherry Juice in a ice-filled cocktail class, and fill the remaining class with sour. Garnish with olives and use a stir stick to mix. Kick back, relax and enjoy!

I loved my Atari 2600. I would play Pole Position until my hand froze up in that joystick grip claw position. Anyone have a link to a vendor that sells refurbished systems/games? NES or Atari?

[Logo-Mechanix]

My cousin had intellivision, man we thought that was the coolest. The football was totally awesome.

My dad still has my old ATARI system, the only games we had were :
Pac Man
Q-Bert
Quix
Donkey Kong

Hubby brought his old Nintendo 64 into this marriage, and the kids love playing the games (there's a stack of about 20, but only a few of them still read in the machine)
Mega Man
Punch out
Yoshi etc, etc, etc

Remember the black 5" floppies?

Oh, and I was wearing the spandex pants with baggy sweat shirts 2 years before the rest of my class. I remember getting so much flak from them, until they followed suit. Then I quit wearing them like that. (I wore 'em skiing instead, Layers, layers, layers-pluss it was fun to peel off layer after layer of skin tight clothes in the lodge after skiing all night, I think I managed to get every guy's attention within a 30ft radius :) )
