Hearing this reminded me that Dave promised a year or so ago to play My Red Joy Stick the next time we hit 84 (god knows how many appearances ago.) Guess I should maybe remind him.

Or maybe not. My Red Joy Stick could become the Baby Got Back of 1984.

another VHM to U2, but it remains unfortunate that they never realized that MLK Jr was shot in the early evening, not early morning.  I mean it's only one little syllable, but it creates a factual error.

I thought they hit the downward skids with Joshua Tree--too preachy, didn't rock enough. Acthung was actually kind of a nice surprise. Then came that stupid lemon.

joshua tree was a little bit acceptable because if the time. lots of activist folkie-types rearing their heads. but, yeah, the stupid lemon put u2 in my uhf category. completely non-existent.

actually it's Ribeiro, not Rebeiro.  (mshray is really on the job today!)  :lol:

I never saw one second of that show, but the IMDb guest appearances list is impressive:  Sharon Stone, Matthew Perry, Whitney Houston, Erika Eleniak, Christina Applegate, Elizabeth Berkley, Gary Coleman, Mr. T, Jason Bateman, Ray Walston & John Houseman (the last three being regulars)

No, John Vernon wasn't in the Twisted Sister vid. The guy who played Neidermyer was. He was in 2, in fact. He played the teacher in "I Wanna ROCK (ROCK!)"

I think it'd be a great sound bite for 84 if Dave played the only-once-ever-aired-but-best-commercial-ever Macintosh commercial for 1984 -- because it was based on George Orwell's 1984.. of course it works better with the video but the sound-only version probably would be Ok.

thanks. i used to live on "rebeiro avenue," so i can never keep it straight.

hmmm....

i'll have to find some 'silver spoons' on vhs or dvd so i can see yumyum sharon stone. i remember most of the other people appearing on the show, but not her.

the coolest thing about the show was the house. everyone wanted to live in a house with a train and a jukebox. well, i did.

no, you're right.  Mark Metcalf (aka Doug 'shot-by-his-own-troops' Niedermeyer) is the actor in the Twisted Sister video.  Later appeared as The Maestro on several Seinfeld eps and as The Master on a bunch of Buffy eps.

I'm using the thick quotes of irony because Every. Single. Lesbian. I knew in NYC told me they knew for a fact that she was a big dyke. Lesbians don't lie, do they? Besides Snider strikes me as the sort of right-wing glam-rock closet case who'd be a lipstick lesbian's beard.

maybe i'm preaching to the choir, i dunno.

But you can go to images.yahoo.com, click on the Video tab, and type in a search for "1984 Macintosh" and download/view the video if anyone's interested.  It still sends chills down my back, even 20 yrs later...

Or I could upload it to the site here, tho its 13.1 MB.  Just an idea...

Ha Ha!

Hey Gaz, do you remember a funny that got distibuted around Schwab back in the day?  I distinctly remember getting it passed to me by Matt Kelly, it was a set of faux word problems called something like "Only in SF Math Problems"? Ring any bells?

anyway the one I remember best went something like:

Christine & Diana share a one bedroom flat in Noe Valley.  To celebrate their first anniversary they buy a Jack Russell terrier.  If the dog requires two walks per day and they live 2 1/2 blocks from Duboce Park, how many hours per week will they spend discussing their relationship?
