Have you seen this 80’s lyrics quiz yet? I’d taken it once before, but, as with most things these days, I don’t think I remembered anymore on it this time than I did the first time!
My final score was 96. I blame a few on spelling errors, a few on those “Dang it, I know it but I can’t come up with it!” moments, and a few that I never would have gotten. Go ahead and take it and head to the comments to let me know how you did!

Several of us in my family are down with a nasty virus right now, and Jell-o would be a welcome item on the menu! Can you think of Jell-o and not think of Bill Cosby? I know, I know, I think he was more about Jell-o Pudding than the gelatin, but that’s the best connection I can make for you today.
This commercial makes me think of my dad. He was a big fan of both Jell-o Pudding and Bill Cosby. And it was always a special treat if you caught him grabbing a Jell-o …read more

I got a chance to get out for a bit today, and I took the opportunity to call up Bald Man and get out for lunch. Just the two of us. It was fantastic.
Anyway, as most of you probably don’t know, Bald Man loves to sing. As you probably also don’t know, he’s aurally challenged (read as: doesn’t really know whether or not he’s in tune when he’s singing). It is a fact that he’s well aware of, so I’m not outing him here or anything. Or maybe I am, but he can take it. …read more
I know, I know, you just have too much time on your hands, don’t you? You look at your week’s schedule and think, “Wow. I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself this week. There are just tons and tons of big white spaces indicating huge blocks of time with which I don’t know what to do!”
Well, do I have the solution for you. The b5media forum arcade. Oh yes. What, you ask, is the b5media forum arcade? Thank you for asking. It is the most monumental time waster, …read more
Over at Brohans.com, there is compiled a list of the top 20 shows of the 1980s. While they do include the first shows that I thought of offhand, (Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, Cheers, etc.), there are a few notable absences. No Family Ties? No Dallas? Hill Street Blues? And, really, did they not think of Pee-wee’s Playhouse? (Okay, so I’m joking on that one.)
Go check out the list for yourself and let me know which shows you think got the shaft.
ht: Arieanna Thanks!
Kids Incorporated. One of those Saturday morning shows (at least I think that’s when it aired, when else would it have?) that I remember loving, but I no longer have any idea why I liked it or what the plot was even. Kids dancing, that’s what I remember. You can head over here to see what Wikipedia remembers about it.
Enjoy the theme song, and watch for Fergie (Stacey Ferguson) of the Black Eyed Peas. She’s the first one to be credited. Crazy, huh?
I am definitely the demographic that the advertisers are trying to hit in the evening drama/sitcom time slot. In addition to the Back to the Future bit, I’m hearing more and more 80’s songs being used in commercials. Apparently, those marketing geniuses think that there are many middle-aged (am I middle aged, yet?) lazy bums sitting around basking in the glow of the boob tube, just waiting to be enticed to a bag of cookies by the sweet sounds of The Human League. Little morsels of chocolatey goodness are just calling out to me from the TV …read more
With the Chicago Bears in the home stretch to the Super Bowl, every child from the 80’s should be walking around with the sweet sounds of The Super Bowl Shuffle streaming through their brains, or is that just for those of us who were living in the Land of Lincoln at the time and couldn’t have gotten away from the song if we’d tried?
It was up at YouTube for a while, but has been pulled down. I’m guessing it has something to do with those pesky copyright laws, but it was fun to see it while it was up, …read more
Okay, so I’m gonna go ahead and make a Thursday Theme out of this whole theme song thing. Hmmmm…that was a lot of “th’s” in that sentence. Odd.
Anyway, we both know that you could look these up yourself, but we also both know that you won’t. I will, because it’s my job. (heehee, this is my job. That still floors me.) And besides, if you were to look these up, you’d actually have to remember all of these often ridiculous shows. Unlike me, I’m sure you’ve relieved your poor little brain cells from …read more
Yeah, so, apparently someone was noticing the fine lines and wrinkles around here that I was so desperately trying to conceal.
What do you think of the new template? Other than the massive amounts of pink (have I mentioned here that I’m not a fan of pink?), I think it’s looking pretty sharp. It was designed by Jonic over at 100yen. Well done, friend! Looovvveee the gradients.
