See what this place inspires? After my 'Ode To Ralph Macchio' in yesterday's post, poets everywhere are coming out of the woodwork to show off their 80's creativity. Here, a poem by Phineas and Lou (http://thestumblydiva.blogspot.com):
Oh mustard,
I see that you have returned.
You remind me of when
I wore giant shoulder pads
poorly cut knits
and rayon with poka dots (solid pocket of course).
I loved Joey in the 8th grade,
New Kids on the Block (oh, oh, ohoho),
Michael Jackson was human,
and I wrote Ralph Macchio love letters
that I was
too shy to send.
Oh mustard, why have you returned.
To haunt me
with my past?
Alas, I forgive you.
I forgive me.
See? When you guys participate in this blog, we get to see a different point of view. Send in those odes! I have also yet to see any more Halloween costume pics from the 80's or that were 1980s inspired. Go ahead and send them in, and they will appear here!
Now, its time for something from way back when, when Mojo was, as Phineas and Lou likes to say it, 'human':
Thanks to youtube user proyect3000 for this video.

Back when seeing Michael Jackson with little boys wasn't something to feel creeped out about...
Oh, and I looooved Ralph! *swoooon*
yeah, eveline, a lot has changed with that guy!
Speaking of commercials, I just saw a car commercial featuring Tones on Tail's "Go". Loved that song. And I thought of you! Has anyone seen it yet?
no, but I love when they dig up old stuff for commercials,and nice to hear from you, hbic!
Run Carlton, run! He'll take you back to Neverland Ranch and have sleep overs with you.
80squeen, IS that Carlton? I was wondering that earlier.
Now that I have a working scanner I'll have to see if I can dig up some old pics. Which are buried in the trunk under the old scanner :)
