Yes! Night people! Oh how I have missed thee.

I know your rules - "jinx personal jinx" and if they talk you punch them over and over again.

Then there is also the more juvenile "doorknob" which is when someone farts you yell "doorknob" and the person who yells door knob gets to punch them

Thu. 5/7/09 2:19am From: Christian Morrissey

Sorry, you punch them until they hit the doorknob - and there was always a big difference between door knobs and door handles

Umm, a couple of twenty-nothings discussing what drugs were "in" during the "seventies" is "boring". Mightn't there be some music you might play? What you're doing is what my friends and I used to do (while well stoned, in private) during the "eighties".

Thu. 5/7/09 2:42am From: c

whatever goes on to pluto has to be fleeting since it will eventually not be referred to as part of the 70s

Thu. 5/7/09 2:48am From: LAE

70's ruled

Thu. 5/7/09 2:54am From: Like I'm Like Like

If you think that Cyndie Lauper encapsulates the "eighties" you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Taking the piss, maybe, but you'd be hard pressed, it seems, to come up with anything worth it. Like, you know? Like, that's just too easy, like,, you know?

Thu. 5/7/09 3:04am From: Like I'm Like Like

Like your last caller, I was born in the "eighties" and I love, like, the "eighties". Having been delivered of my mother in '83, like your last caller, I LOVE the, like, "eighties". My favourite song was a huge hit when I was 2, like, years old.

Thu. 5/7/09 3:08am From: Joshua K

Did you guys talk about punk rock.. is that a fad,? depends who you ask.

Thu. 5/7/09 3:08am From: brycepunk

80's... Can't discuss it without bringing up the PMRC and the assault on heavy metal (and metal's quest for artistic legitimacy), the moral majority, etc.
Also the cold war and the common term "We're all gonna get nuked anyways" (and how that looming over the head of people effected their mental health, The Day After, Red Dawn and Rambo...

Thu. 5/7/09 3:09am From: Like I'm Like Like

Like, it's TO-tally rad that I'm, like, the only, like person, like, participating in this, like, umm, y'know, thing...

Thu. 5/7/09 3:11am From: Pieter

Morning all, been struggling with the connection here for some time, but finally got connected to the stream.

Thu. 5/7/09 3:12am From: Like I'm Like Like

Like, I satnd, like, corrected, or whatever. Others seem to be, like, also, listening to this, like, radio, like thing. The nuc-u-lar war was, like, totally hanging over our, like, heads, like, at the time, but, like, it turned out that the world was, like, okay, 'cuz nothing, like happened after all, you know?

Thu. 5/7/09 3:13am From: Like I'm Like Like

I mean, you know, that I STAND corrected, huh...

Thu. 5/7/09 3:15am From: Like I'm Like Like

It's so, like, cool, that since the nuc-u-lar war never, like, happened, that all we really have to, like, worry about, is, like, pussy.

Thu. 5/7/09 3:20am From: Like I'm Like Like

I bow to the caller now, who's an expert on the "mid-late-nineties".

Thu. 5/7/09 3:25am From: Like I'm Like Like

Thu. 5/7/09 3:51am From: Like I'm Like Like

Like, how does one, like, go about, like, getting a radio, like, show of one's own, you know? I think (sometimes) that I'd like a, like, radio show. Do I need, like, a resumé, or, like, what? Should I work on, like, my skills? Or, like, is it not that heavy, like? 'Cuz, I think I'd like, like, a radio show. 'Cuz i would, like, really like one. 'Kay? I could do a, like, radio show, I think. Dude! I totally could! Like, for sure, you know? But maybe it's too hard, like. I wouldn't want, like, too much of a, like, challenge, you know?

Thu. 5/7/09 3:52am From: Peter

If you want a radio show you should start with, like, a local college station.

Thu. 5/7/09 3:53am From: Like I'm Like Like

What's "college"?

Thu. 5/7/09 3:53am From: Peter

"University"

Thu. 5/7/09 3:54am From: djarnis

"school for the blind"

Thu. 5/7/09 3:55am From: Like I'm Like Like

Thu. 5/7/09 4:30am From: Joshua K

I had these Ocean Pacific hot neon pink shorts in the 90s. It was cool for guys to wear pink for a while. The parachute pants also.

Thu. 5/7/09 4:36am From: Pieter

what had major impact for kids in Belgium I guess was the TMNT : before that pizza was almost completely unknown here, but boomed with that !

Thu. 5/7/09 4:48am From: Pieter

I remember from like 94 to 97 or something was the weirdest fashion change I ever experienced. In 94 all girls were saying pink was the ugliest color ever, which they would never wear, a few years later they were all wearing tight salmon pink pants ...

Thu. 5/7/09 4:51am From: djarnis

im tellin ya .. all the girls in copenhagen atm are wearing salmon coloured stuff .. or "Coral" as its called.

Thu. 5/7/09 5:07am From: Joshua K

need some chanting buddhist monks

Thu. 5/7/09 5:09am From: Pieter

I remember the 90's actually here as being when you were labeled based on musical interest and clothing linked to it. with alternative, grunge and rock on one hand and house / hardcore (and the here associated "Johnny & Marina" subculture associated to it) on the other.

Thu. 5/7/09 5:32am From: Pieter

from what I've heard in mathematics it's said that you peak around 27, after that it's very hard to have a real genius creative idea.

Thu. 5/7/09 5:33am From: owen

apparently certain people are really sensitive to a particular chemical in broccolli that most people cant taste which makes it really bitter.

i spent most of the 90's listening to my parents mock my brother for not liking broccolli only to recently see them contrite and apologetic when it became apparent that it wasnt just him being picky about vegetables.

Fri. 5/8/09 6:55pm From: Elio from Chicago

Great show. It was fun to hear 80's fads from the perspective of East and West coast kids. When your growing up, you don't even imagine kids outside of your town. (Except the ones on TV)
