Friday 5 (80’s)

Written by Ty

At last!!
On time!!

Here we go!

1.) Favourite movie of the 1980s?

—It’s hard to pick your favourite “movie” from “movies” you’ve seen and liked.
And if I put the classic 80’s flicks like “Back to the Future” series, “Indiana Jones” series or E.T.,
it’s already a given that these are into everyone’s likings.

So I selected a few of my personal, weird and obscure favourites.

1. Crossroads ““ With Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai in it. (Not the Britney one)
I chose this, because, come on. Who doesn’t want to have a guitar duel with the devil?

2. Hard to Hold ““ with Rick Springfield. Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to become a rock star with beautiful girls falling for you?

3. Clash of the Titans ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to be a greek god?

4. The Dark Crystal ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t have a fetish with puppets?

5. Debbie Does Dallas ““ Okay maybe it’s 1978. But I have seen it in the 80’s. And come on, Who doesn’t know Debbie?

2.) Favourite musician/group of the 1980s?

— This would be very difficult for me, for if I list them all,
I would have to cancel all my appointments and my child will not be eating lunch.
So I decided to put down all the band posters I had in my room, when I was growing up.

Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
Tears For Fears
Spandau Ballet
Sade
Michael Jackson
Eurythmics
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Brooke Shields
Poison
Debbie
Hustler

–Oops! You didn’t see that.

3.) Favourite TV show of the 1980s?

—My God! Each and every Saturday morning cartoon!
Yes Kids!
In our day, we only watch cartoons on a Saturday!
One day a week!
Not like you with your 24 hour cartoon channel network.
You spoiled little shits!

4.) Favourite invention of the 1980s?

—2 things, I believe were the best invention in the 80’s.
The Atari 2600 and those Pop Rocks candies,
that pops in your mouth when you eat them.
YES! I love those.

5.) World Event from the 1980s that stands out in your mind?

—I have to say it’s the “People Power” Revolution in the Philippines.
Because right in the midst of all the fear and confusion,
all the way to the people’s victory,
I was in the hospital being treated for Dengue.

Yes. My body is weaker than most children.
That’s what you get when you aren’t breast fed.
And you sniff a lot of glue.

My god!
As you can see,
I am the best guy to answer all these Friday Five questions!
I should be given a medal.
And a straightjacket.
