And this 80's cheese is the topic. While looking through facebook, one of the posts was an old friend from high school asking what every one's favorite 80's movies were. 176 comments later we had it mostly worked out. That's right. 176 comments. All of which were on topic. We weren't talking about the HealthCare law or calling each other names. Just some good old fashioned 80's movie naming with the occasional quote thrown in.
We didn't stop because we ran out of movies. Pfft. Come on now. We mercifully ceased operations because there were people getting updates on their mobile devices at an alarming clip. The guy who originated the post sent out two apologies to anyone who may have been inconvenienced. We blew facebook up with a non-stop barrage of 80's awesomeness.
The funny thing about it, apart from everything, was a comment from Skye Dickenson. Another one of my friends from high school who was a few years ahead of me. So we're going in basically a three way race with an occasional fourth. It was myself, Marty, Pete, and Wong. We were at about the 130 clip or so on the comments. Maybe more than that. And out of nowhere, Skye comments. With the simplicity of a spoon he wrote, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space". Just stopped the world for like three to four minutes.
There's no coming back from that right? We were dredging up some serious 80's cheese too. But 'Killer Klowns' just took it. And we heard not another word from him after that. He was like Reggie Hammond in 48 Hours rousting the redneck bar. Just went in, ruffled some feathers, made his point and left. "There's a new sheriff in town. His name is Reggie Hammond".
Sure. You had to be there to appreciate it. Ya, I'm exposing myself as someone who's clinging to his youth with the tenacity of a snapping turtle. But in the final analysis, the 80's rocked and Killer Klowns won the night. Well done Skye. Well done.
