Remember the “Hammer” pants that Jason and Conrad got at the Bugle Boy Store? Man, I was so Jealous! Janice and I used to try to sneak into Jason and Conrad’s room and put on thier Hammer pants and dance around. We thought we were so totally cool!!!

lynette,

thanks to you, i have had stryper songs going through my head all afternoon and i have to try and forget the images of robert sweet playing drums without a shirt. you should be punished severely. the pathetic thing is that after nearly twenty years i still remember specific guitar solos and drum rolls.

there is something disturbing about skinny white guys with hair the size of dallas wearing spandex pants and cowboy boots– i am sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. sort of like me creating my own acid-washed jeans with clorox and a squirt bottle. thank God no pictures exist.

if we make fun of our fashion sense from the 80s, i wonder what the guys from stryper feel like about now?

Totally tubular! Like way cool! I could, like, way identify with your gnarly blog! But since I’m fast approaching my 40th b’day I think it would be best if I just didn’t comment further on my association with the 80’s. Besides, I’m like totally buggin out ’cause I’m Like so totally late for work and I still need to “peg-leg” my jeans, put on my boat shoes, turn up the collars on both of my polos and kiss my bodacious wife! …or should I do the Don Johnson look today?…

How funny! I remember it all too well. I had a pair of black and yellow leg-warmers that I wore with my parachute pants and a black ripped shirt with my hair up on the side. I was cooool! But those were the good ol days and I wouldn’t change them! I do still like all the old movies (like sixteen candles) and the music (like Def Leppard). That was awesome! Gave me a good laugh today! Oh, by the way, I get made fun of for saying “stoked” alot!

I agree with Janice, you should be hurt for putting these songs in my head. Also, I’m sure I’m not the only one in your life to say “gag me with a spoon”. I think that’s a cool saying, maybe I should teach it to my kids.

Me again. .. I had to give Brent a test and see if he could guess Stryper. . he said Petra until I told him to think “dressed up like a bumble bee in spandex” and then he got it right away . Steve Taylor was a no brainer for him. FYI, since I looked at your blog Eternal Flame is floating around in my head. . thanks alot !!

Wow. . I’m glad your trip wasn’t any longer . Gotta love the Stryper and Steve Taylor . . . where is some Wilson Phillips (or were they early 90’s)? I even had some pink sparkly peep toe jellies that I could wear with my styling culottes. The pink in the shoes matched the pink in my big plastic glasses .
