picture for a Friday afternoon – circa 1981

Got tagged with this one on facebook by an old girlfriend. Note the lithe yet powerful legs. Like a jungle cat!

Yes, in the early 80s, I was not unlike a puma. Who listened to a lot of Asia. And drank California Coolers.

Question: Are those shorts? Or did I get naked and sit on a Smurf?

    Yeah, the 1970’s had some lingering fashion waves, and looks like the undertow caught you. I hope it was Brainy Smurf you squished – never could stand that little brown-noser.

    Otherwise, you look alright there, man. Nothing to be embarrased about.

    I’m pretty sure I had Lori’s hairstyle back then.

    We all had shorts like that. If I finish this bottle of wine I’m drinking too quickly I may have to upload a photo of me…

    No . Trust me on this one , smurf’s do not bleed out evenly .

    Journey was awesome! Saw them live during the tour supporting “Frontiers.”

    Just today I was listening to Whitesnake. Saw them live too way back when. Quiet Riot opened for them I think.

    What the hell was up with that video, anyway? Low budget + fortuitous presence of a RennFaire in the vicinity = MTV legend.

  28. Comment by Mikey NTH on 1/30 @ 6:20 pm #

    I thought the picture of the Harrier jet at the end was the best part.

    Oh – and the chick. She wanted it.

    Did you get Brainy Smurf? He had it coming, always snitching to Papa Smurf about who was shagging Smurfette in the Smurf-berry bushes. And you know she was smurfing in those Smurf-berry bushes because all of the other smurfs were always singing…

    When “Safety Dance” came out, the singer thought he was hot shit and would have a career so he left the band. Turns out it was just the fact that MTV was in its infancy and would play any video it got (except, oddly, hip-hop). Oops.

    I always figured that Papa Smurf was the only sexually complete male Smurf (think about it: only one with facial hair). The others were just neuters and drones.

    The ABA was the “outlaw” league with the psychedelic red, white and blue basketball, outlandish promotions, and huge afros. It was the “lively” league that adopted the three-point shot — the exciting “home run” of basketball — as its own. It was the “frontier” league that brought (or returned) modern professional basketball to hoops-crazy cities like Indianapolis, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Charlotte/Greensboro, Louisville, Norfolk, and Denver.

    How come that picture cuts off the top of your head?

    You had a mullet didn’t you?

    Speaking of power mullets, what ever happened to The Outfield?

    Hang themselves like the Big Country dude?/ touring?/ working at PetSmart?

    Enquiring minds and whatnot.

    I don’t trust those Wiki people.

    The picture came that way. But she found more. Oh yes, did she find more.

    Ok, but (my Dad’s golf shirt and the fact your left hand appears to be in mid “snap” aside) next time we want a picture of Lori in the tight blue underoos and you wearing the jeans.

    Actually, we don’t need you in the picture at all.

    Just Lori in short-shorts.

    She was pretty cute.

    And you have what appear to be rug-burns on your knees.

    Well played sir.

    Hey, Jeff, is that a…

    Oh! wait! He-Man’s on after the commercial!!

    Sitting on Smurfs is only one of many methods to use on your Smurfin Safari

    “Well, we snuck into the Magic Woods, we were in disguise, now,
    We surrounded the village and took ‘em all by surprise, now,
    And when the napalm hit, they were all little blue French fries, now,
    And we had fun, fun, fun, blowin’ all the little Smurfers away.”

    Unlike the 70’s, which were MD 20-20 and Zepplin.

    No.no. It was white cross and some really good Hawaiian shit laced with opium and Pink Floyd and not a whole lot more I remember.

    At least we know Steve Burns from Blues clues did not get run over or die of heroin. He was always really Jeff Goldstein!

    Here is another test

    I’ll see your 1981 and raise you a 1983.

    That looks suspiciously like Cary Quad behind you, Bingely.

    …at Purdue, in case anyone’s interested. Maybe all of those old college dorms were built the same, though.
