It's right next door to work, and I was waiting to go pick up pizza. It was the first time I'd walked in there in about 9 months - I swear.
You were picking up pizza? Okay, no worries. That's hot. :yes:
Did you grow up in the 80's?

I think the electronic version was just called Simon. Then came all of the knock-offs. I had the crappy Follow Me. Getting back to the leg warmers...
Knock-offs suck. I remember asking for Atari and getting the Odyssey game system instead.
Sorry for the hi-jack....back to the leg warmers...
I remember that!! My grandma was the one who had the Simon (you're totally right, it was just called Simon - good memory!), so I used to be excited to go over.
The leg warmers were lavendar.
That was always the worst. I was NOT a Barbie fan (hated dolls and most of that type of stuff when I was little), but I wanted a Barbie Sno-Cone maker when they came out. Never got that, but got about seven Barbies that year.
The lavendar leg warmers matched my banana clip.
I still say "totally". :sad:
I was at line at K-Mart today and talked to my companion about how the handles on the gift bag I was getting were "tubular" (because they were red plastic tubes). I then had to backtrack and explain that I was not a Ninja Turtle.
"Tubular" should be part of everyones' daily speech, much like other 80s slang. Just the other day I told someone how bogus it was that the bodacious Swatch they had broke when some airhead stepped on it with his new Roos tennis shoes.
Photo not mine. It comes with a matching thermos too and mine is in near perfect condition. I hear it is a collectors item so I have no intentions of parting with it yet.
I actually had that!
Didn't Odyssey have a sweet game like Space Invaders? I bet you could wear leg warmers while playing.
That would have been so gnarly that it might have, like, totally gagged me with a spoon.
(Good pull on Roos - what were the shirts with the little alligator on the front called?)
That's it! Wear a Le Tigre shirt with some stonewashed Jordache jeans (tight-rolled), and you were pulling down the honeys to go see The Coreys in "License to Drive" on a Friday night, I'm sure.
Or perhaps pair the Le Tigre with a pair of acid-washed, pleated Z Cavariccis, tight-rolled, of course.
I had some Z Cav's... I replaced them with a couple of pairs of Pepe's from the Buckle with my babysitting money. Never owned any Girbaud, though.
You have to admit tho Angie, your moves had nothing on this!!:biglaugh::biglaugh:
I'm mostly entranced by the pink outerwear (since they're certainly not underwear) on the woman who walks in...

No comment. I just wanted to make sure this was posted again.

Yeah, you probably have not done K-Mart since Sears bought them out.
