Skater Fashion of the 80s
By admin @ 7:13 am
80s Fashion : 80s Fun & Games : Eighties Articles
Skateboarding enjoyed an explosion of popularity in the 80’s but for the most part was still an underground culture with only a small industry built up around it compared to today. Aside from the occasional surf or skate logo tee, skaters of the 1980’s wore oversized thrift store jeans with a belt to keep them up with vintage striped t-shirts, flannel shirts and hoodies.
For shoes skaters in the eighties wore vans slip ons, like the checkerboard one’s Spicoli bangs against his head in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Another popular shoe option were canvas converse high tops that had a nice flat sole but not much support, they also wore out fast calling for many a duct-tape and shoe goo repair job.
Lingo of the day include surf related terms like stoked, tubular, grody and rad!

Eighties Jokes

80s Fun & Games : Eighties Articles
Today is “National Tell an Old Joke but Keep It Clean Day” so here are a few groaners from the 1980s.
Back in the eighties there was scattered resistance to the new Japanese cars gaining popularity over the American autos that had enjoyed market domination. US manufacturers responded with cheaply built, over-priced, butt ugly gas guzzlers and wondered what happened!
They told jokes like this to compensate:
Q: What do you call 10,000 Honda Civics at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?
A: A good start.
Yugoslavia was also making a play for the lucrative US car market with less then stellar results but fared well in the foreign auto joke market.
Q: Why is a Yugo like a Bic lighter?
A: You use it until it runs out of gas, then throw it away.
And what could be more 80s then a Michael Jackson and Nintendo joke.
Q: How are the NES and Michael Jackson the same?
A: Little boys turn them both on.
Q: How many letters are in the alphabet?
A: 22, cuz E.T. went home and somebody shot J.R.
Q: How are Madonna’s knees like the Beatles?
A: They’ll never get back together.
Q: What is Ronald Reagan’s favorite pick-up line at a bar?
A: Do I come here often?
