Let's be 1987

Throw mama from the train

I'll be watching the season opener of the Golden Girls!

Will Dynasty ever get its groove back after the Moldavian Massacre?

That was 1985, fool. R2

^^ I'm pretty sure the Golden Girls had a season opener in 1987 too ^^

I'm Alex Forrest, dialing with a pencil

The season 3 opener was one of the very worst very special episodes, partially redeemed by Rose's revenge on the Sunshine Cadet.

The better question is did you watch it flopsy?

I hated the Alzheimer’s episode

I'm the Libyans.

I'm Black Monday.

Debi Thomas lost US National Title to Jill Trenary and her World Title to Katarina Witt. Not a good year for Debi.

Maybe Debi should take a break from Harvard and concentrate on skating for one year, so she increases her chances for the Gold Medal at next year's Olympics

I'm me, reading in the paper about the latest actor to be taken from us with AIDS.

[quote]I am about to sit down with my Diet Coke

you were a fatty back in '87?

I have cameltoe

I'm Michael Jackson. America still thinks I'm a great guy who just loves kids!

I was born December 30, 1987. I just made the cut:)

I'm Donald Trump about to take Ivana ... no I can't. I just can't.

I found DLer's youngest poster (r17)

"There's a new book out by successful millionaire Donald Trump, 'The Art of the Deal.' I may buy it. He may have some good pointers to live by."

I just saw the most wonderful romantic comedy, Moonstruck. Who knew Cher can really act?!

And that Nicolas Cage is so sexy. What do we know about him?

I’m the gay video bar.

Guys sit and stand around, drinking and watching snippets of comedy and music videos, a few quickly become a combination between what we now call “meme worthy”- and group karaoke, where a bunch of well lubricated men chime along together in every time it comes on. I was short lived because the soundtrack has to be loud enough to hear but soft enough people can still talk to each other over it.

Becuase of smartphones I will never ever happen again.

Here’s a great example.

I'm "Star Trek: The Next Generation." I'm the first "Star Trek" spinoff, but there will be many, many, many more after me.

I'm Roxanne Melman's unrequited love.

I'm Bill Cosby. I'm America's favorite dad, not a sicko rapist!

I’m Whitney Houston’s hair.

R7 Sophia buying that slave was awesome. Bea was like Ma! Set that slave free.

PRINCE: U walked in I woke up

I’ve neva seen a pretty girl look so tough - baby

U got that look! Color U peach n black. Color me takin aback

Crucial! I think I want ya!

SHEENA EASTON: U got the look. U got the hook

U sho nuff to be cookin’ in my book

You’re face is jammin You’re body’s hect-a-slammin’

If love is good let’s get to rammin’

U got the look

U got the look

I'm the writers of "The Colbys," the failed "Dynasty" spinoff that will end in March of this year. For the final episode, we're going to have fake Fallon kidnapped by space aliens and taken aboard a UFO, and let the writers of "Dynasty" figure out how the hell to get her out of that pickle in the fall.

I'm reading an article about Donald Trump in Spy magazine

"I can't believe this clown wants to be president! Luckily, no one would ever be dumb enough to vote for him!"

I'm the AIDS.

Of course you are r31. How many more posts are we up to with AIDS?!

1987 was a great year for me. I had the best job I ever would have, took my first trip to Europe. I felt like life was coming together for me ( after being raised by an alcoholic and heroin addict) and then it started to slowly come apart , partly due to external events and partly due to my dysfunction. Culturally, I remember Spy Magazine who called Trump "that short fingered vulgarian" and the reincarnated Vanity Fair with Tina Brown.

I'm me, a small child.

I'm the drum machines that made so much pop music sound cheap and shite.

On most weeknights, you’ll find me hosting a bunch of guys in my freshman dorm room at college to watch Late Night With David Letterman. We order Domino’s pizza, drink a little beer, and I try to sit fairly close to whatever guy I’m crushing on the most that week.

Few of them understand why I’m always laughing so hard when Sandra Bernhard is on and can’t believe it when I say she’s my all time favorite of Dave’s guests.

Later in the year, a sexy guy from Palos Verdes named Roger will make an aggressive pass at me totally out of the blue and we’ll start a hot and heavy little affair. When I ask him why he was so confident in making that first move, he says “One word… SANDRA!”.

I’m r34. I’m a stupid ass!

I'm Brooke Shields "dating" George Michael

R38- You mean a LESBIAN dating a HOMOSEXUAL

My shaving my chest

I'm me putting another creative (ie using music) and hilarious answering message on my state of the art code-a-phone.

I'm the collective disbelief when people hear Andy Warhol is dead.

I'm me and I didn't "disbelieve" it.

I just got home from work. Let me check my messages on the this new machine thing. You can even screen calls. It is like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I'm me, in preschool, in 1987. It was a Montessori school.

One day -- and only one -- the teacher wrote something on the blackboard. Well, she actually drew a little picture to illustrate a point. She never used the blackboard any other time that year. The moment is burned into my memory for some reason. I remember feeling so grown up that day.

My family had an answering machine when I was in the first grade. 1979.

I'm a young West German who decided it'd be a good idea to fly my little plane into Soviet airspace and land in Red Square!

I'm Gary Hart laughing at the Jim Bakker/Jessica Hahn sex scandal. I'm sure glad I'm not like him, dumb enough to get involved with a young woman and endanger my presidential hopes next year!

I'm a child. 1996 will be to me what 1987 was for R33. For a moment there, everything felt like it was all gonna work out...

[quote]I'm me, in preschool, in 1987. It was a Montessori school.

I went to Monetessori in 1967. I'm the worried look on my mother's face when I tell her today we scrubbed the tables and played with rice.

I just love smoking my Benson & Hedges 100's at the bar!

I am the McMartin Preschool Trial that is just getting started. They absolutely have to be found guilty, right?!

I’m going to the movies to see that Jason Bateman kid in Teen Wolf Too!

I went to a party last night with Melissa Manchester and Bette Davis. Poor Bette is not long for this world, I'm afraid.

I'm a little 10 year-old boy's butthole, getting finger-banged by Michael Jackson.

Let’s hear it for my hole. Ah put in your hand.

I'm Charlie Sheen. Remember when I was hot and not completely insane?

I'm Kelly Preston. Xenu is telling me it's my duty to marry John Travolta one day

I'm Nancy Pelosi. I'm in my first year of Congress. Not too sure if I should run again.

I'm Liberace. I've lost a lot of weight recently. It's the watermelon diet, I swear!

I’m the virginity I lost, in Virginia.

I’m the stereo system with the handle you took with you when you got out of the car. Stereo theft was rampant.

I'm this year's superior crop of gay-marketed films:

Prick Up Your Ears

Withnail & I

R33 here, I saw Prick Up Your Ears in London, my first time in that city.

I'm First Lady Nancy Reagan, and I totally didn't just feed a dozen lines of Ronnie's latest speech to him while he shit his pants on live TV.

I'm at home crying and shitting my pants.

R77 was 42 at the time.

I'm Sally Kirkland and GODDAMMIT I want that Oscar for my film Anna!!!

R77, I was also crying and shitting my pants in 1987. And 1988. And 1989.....

I'm Eric Trump. I started eating paste this year. And I haven't stopped!

I'm Terence Trent D'Arby and I'm on the cover of every music magazine. I'm the next big thing, and they're pushing me pretty hard. I'm sure I have a brilliant career ahead of me.

The CBS Soap "Capitol" is being cancelled for something called "Bold & Beautiful"? That won't last two years - CBS will really regret cancelling Capitol

I'm Robyn, Whitney Houston's "friend"

I'm in the shadows

Dionne Warwick holds an AIDS Baby - saying "I'm not afraid, and neither should you"

"They're calling it Tribeca now, it's just a real estate marketing gimmick. I mean who the fuck would want to live way down there? There's NOTHING down there!"

Madonna was rolling out the hits: Material Girl, Live To Tell, Papa Don’t Preach, La Isla Bonita. Then she lays that turd, “Who’s That Girl.”

And "Causing A Commotion," which is now forgotten.

I like to eat something healthy with my Diet Coke (who knows what chemicals they put in that)

so I usually eat a Figurine Bar

I'm '80s pleated and acid-washed high-waist jeans. I'm so fugly they won't even try to bring me back for nostalgic reasons in the decades to come!

Lindsey Buckingham put out some money for a stylist and it was worth every cent because he looked hawt!

Coke spoon was relegated to sing one backup phrase over and over.

1987 was Lindsey’s year!

I'm Michael Dukakis. The Democratic powers that be told me I would have to be a complete wimp to lose the 1988 election!

1987- the year Angela Lansbury was late to host the Tony Awards and had to appear in a comforter.

Sad story - after rehearsals she went to take a nap at the Mildew Plaza. The front desk completely forgot she was there and poor Angela was startled awake by Isabelle Stevenson banging on her door. She grabbed the comforter off the bed, ran up 8th Avenue, but as you can see Bill Irwin had to start the show and vamp until she arrived.

[quote]The front desk completely forgot she was there and poor Angela was startled awake by Isabelle Stevenson banging on her door. She grabbed the comforter off the bed, ran up 8th Avenue...

I can't tell you how many times Angie pulled that stunt...

She would use any excuse to go running up the avenue with her big tits hanging out.

I'm just sitting here in my new Acura Integra...

Can you believe how luxurious they're making these Hondas now!

I'm the high school senior who barely graduated after cutting class so many days....to avoid the massive amounts of homophobic abuse from fellow students and, sometimes, the teachers and principals too.

My 1987 started off with recovery from a suicide attempt, but I did graduate, by the skin of my teeth.

So many basic bitches in my class got their diplomas and went off to become pants pissingly drunk. I went home and watched The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, a show I would adore during its entire run. Yes, I was always that precious.

I loved Molly Dodd!!

I’m Spring Break Teen Chaos in Ft. Lauderdale!!!

She was fabulous, ElderLez. To me she was way more realistic than the women in SATC ever were.

I'm Molly Dodd's opening theme.

Me: I just started my new job - I hope it works out!

(Fast forward 35 years: It did work out and I just retired from the same company.)

We are something called Fox. We are premiering in April. Nobody will ever remember us.

You're all getting Rickrolled!!

I'm Austin's Timbuk 3 — My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Why 1987 OP?

R57 I loved that line! I still have my AJ shirt from then and it still fits. I'm 57 now.

r97 I loved The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd! It was final inspiration to get my shit together and move to NYC.

I'm Charlene in the Nashville Bound episode of Designing Women. I sing "When I Dream" to my family (except Carlene) after being swindled by Gaylon King. I think I was dubbed though.

1987 was the best year of my life. Name anything getting that year and I have great memories of the energy of it. Including AIDS activism that brought and stirred our community.

*Cough cough*

I don't feel so good

I'm Molly Dodd producer Jay Tarses's either latent homosexuality or autogynephilia.

"Oh Nick, your room comes with a balcony! Hey wait: why doesn't the door open?"

"They locked it after the last patient jumped off."

I'm packing up my U-Haul and moving to SF from heinous Orange County, CA.

I can't wait to get away permanently from the smog and the traffic and the lack of espresso drinks. I want to go to open mic poetry readings and drop some acid and go to the Haight Street Fair.

I'm gonna make it after all!

R44, I was watching BBC Diners with Pete Burns and Tim Hailand. They both thought the news was a joke at first.

I'm at home watching Nickelodeon!

I have this jingle stuck in my head on an endless loop.

I'm folding denim at The GAP after school, filling my gas tank for .87 per gallon, and buying a pack of Marlboro Lights for about the same. Later, I'm going to the beach with my friends to get high and talk about our upcoming high school graduation in June. I used my birthday money to get a SONY(!) cassette deck installed in my beater Corolla, so I'll drive and we can listen to The Joshua Tree in it's entirety for the millionth time.

I'm George Michael. I used to be in a group called Wham! Now I'm a solo artist. Here I am simulating sex with my Asian "girlfriend" in a video called "I Want Your Sex." It's playing on MTV late night. America is scandalized and enthralled. Everyone thinks I'm a pussy hound. That's why I'm finally getting the artistic respect I never had in Wham!

I released the ACTUAL best album this year.

r118 you paint a great story. i can picture all of that. a writer?

I’m going to Burger King in Danbury, CT to meet Alf. So exciting!

I'm Tom Cruise. Before I became a couch-jumping weirdo with bad plastic surgery!

Speaking of which, I gave a performance as Reno Sweeney on Broadway that year that made everyone say, "Ethel who?"

They remembered who Ethel was years later when you played Rose in "Gypsy," Patti.

I started wearing two polo shirts.

I'm spending the entire year working at my first job, at TCBY (Too Good to Be Yogurt) in Cincinnati. Fat women come in every day to eat Belgian waffles topped with yogurt and lots of toppings, because the yogurt is low-fat.

The days and nights of my pussy and asshole

If it's Friday, my mom is dropping my little white-trash ass off at the local skating rink where every square inch of floor except the rink, the diner and the bathrooms are covered in multiple riotous shades of glorious 70's shag carpeting complementing the wood paneled walls. Shag carpeting in a roller rink... I wish I would've taken pictures. I thought I was so cool backwards skating to Bon Jovi and eating pizza Chef Boyardee wouldn't touch.

My friends and I are in high school but we have plenty of money for booze and smokes and we get served in a dodgy wine bar that doesn’t ask for ID. We hang out all the time listening to Talking Heads and Lou Reed and the new dance music “house” - every day feels like summer. Soon, things will fracture but for now it’s 1987 and it’s great to be alive.

[quote] Speaking of which, I gave a performance as Reno Sweeney on Broadway that year that made everyone say, "Ethel who?"

And it was so bad, they didn’t offer you Annie Get Your Gun a decade later.

Robocop

I was 13 in Jr. high. This song was everywhere. I taped songs from the radio on my sony boombox. If you want to torture someone, this song should do the trick.

I’m gonna go out and get some dick.

^^^Patient zero!

I am waiting in the long ass line on Chestnut St. to watch Superman II. So worth it!🦸‍♂️

Whoops! Wrong year lol! Why did I get 1987 and 1981 mixed up! Old brain.

R133 I hated that song when I was a kid. It was so mediocre every-man middle of the road shit that every moron with a radio liked. It repulsed me.

It’s Friday night and I’m at home watching Beauty and the Beast with my mom and eating BonBons. This is the first ‘grown up’ show I’m allowed to watch. Maybe this’ll be the episode Vincent and Catherine kiss! Ron Perlman has never looked better! I want to go live in The Tunnels with Father and Mouse!

r117 I so badly wanted to punch that moonface motherfucker

I think 1987 was a great year in music. Some of the biggest and best albums came from that year - Faith, Sign O' The Times, The Joshua Tree, Tango in the NIght, Kick, Appetite for Destruction, Hysteria, Trio, Jody Watley's debut. Whitney's best song IMO, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me). SAW eventually outstayed their welcome but, in 1987, they had a banner year with Mel & Kim's FLM, Bananarama's WOW!, and Rick Astley. Loved the Sophisti-pop of Swing Out Sister and Basia, the hip-hop of Eric B & Rakim's Paid in Full, the freestyle of Expose's Exposure, the sunny pop of Belinda Carlisle's Heaven on Earth, the rawness of Sinead O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra, and the underrated Savage by Eurythmics. So much variety.

Savage was a great album, imho the Eurythmics' best.

I'm just a gayling in grade school.

But after watching this commercial I MUST use product in my hair!

Oh lord, R143, I bought so much Studio Line in the '80s and '90s that L'Oreal is probably still spending the proceeds.

I'm 11 years old and going to the store to buy a pack of Marlboro Reds for my dad. It costs $1.55.

I don’t give a fuck what age u were in 1987. You were not iconic in any way shape or form and do not represent 1987! Stupid fuckers!

WTF r146? Did you have too many Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers this evening?

I'm the original Pantene which was the best shampoo EVER. The fuckers had to change the formula and the scent for God knows what reason.

Test to treat!

Well isn't that special?

I'm Jennifer Grey's old nose in Dirty Dancing.

I'm Tom Cruise, wondering why Paul Newman isn't returning my calls. I thought we really had something special and now I'm so upset.

I'm r146, laying in a bathtub in the back room of some nasty bar and letting big fat men piss all over me. They remind me of my dad.

I'm Gary Hart, dropping out of the race for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when my affair with Donna Rice is revealed.

I'm Ronald Reagan, telling Gorbachev to tear down that wall.

Crap - I’m scheduled to work Thursday night - should I tape Knots Landing or L.A. Law?

I’m Spuds McKenzie. WEHT me? Some say I was literally a bitch.

There's a new gay-themed movie out called "Maurice." I hope it has a happy ending.

I'm Cher in "Moonstruck." Some people think I could win the Oscar for my performance.

I’m British cool jazz/acid jazz band Curiosity Killed the Cat, all 4 of whom were smoking hot & very talented. Andy Warhol appeared in our first video. I’m sure he was smitten with every one of us (though Migi was my fave).

I'm the most important year in alternative rock.

Nobody is asking how old you were or what you were doing in 1987. This is a "Let's Be" thread. You are some aspect of life in the year 1987, that's all.

Class, once again you have misconstrued the assignment. That's why you're in summer school!

Tonight's the night...

Just to annoy the living hell out of the "It's A Let's Be Thread, You Cunts!" rage queen....

But wow the 1987 in music article was very cool. It made sense that after several years of growing awareness, it really broke through commercially.

To me the real Depeche Mode breakthrough was 1989-90 with Violator, but the article isn't wrong.

I'm the Sprite in you!

I am taking a trip to the midwest soon. What in the world is there to do there? Does anyone gave a current Damron's I could borrow?

I'm Swing Out Sister's "Breakout"!

I went to #6 Pop and #1 AC in 1987.

Swing Out Sister was great, very underrated.

I'm 4AD hitting it big.

I'm Salon Selectives. I make you look like you just stepped out of a salon!

r172 I bought salon selectives!

I’m me, though in 1987 I was but a twinkle in my father’s eye!

[quote] I'm Swing Out Sister's "Breakout"!

That is the gayest thing I’ve ever seen.

Salon Selectives is still sold at Dollar Tree

Swing Out Sister actually got better and better as they released music. Breakout is one of their weaker singles (although still good). The Waiting Game is amazing, and their cover of Am I the Same Girl beats the shit out of the original.

I agree r177. Their later stuff is great. Their entire debut album It's Better To Travel is amazing. The album tracks are better than the songs that were released as singles. They should've been bigger, but they were too sophisticated and had too much of an urbane gay aesthetic for big mainstream success.

I'm the student loan that wouldn't be paid back until 1996. I have made my borrower's life a living hell of thrift shopping, skipped vacations, concerts and evenings out, extra jobs and triple payments. In thirty years, I will hear how easy I was to pay off and how mean-spirited my generation is for denying young people a clean slate. I am particularly sensitve to the laments of people who graduated from schools that my borrower passed up because they cost too much. I know that my borrower's situation doesn't pertain to young people today because no one has ever had it as bad they have.

I'm Madonna's Who's That Girl Tour.

I'm Prozac, the new miracle happy pill!

Swing Out Sister's "Twilight World" went to #39 in 1987, saving them from one-hit-wonder status.

It went to #31, not #37.

I was surprised to see The Waiting Game only got to #86. I remembered it being much bigger than that. I knew Am I The Same Girl hadn't cracked the Top 40, but it came close (45).

I'm the pilot episode of Good Morning, Miss Bliss. NBC didn't pick me up, so that's it for me...

I'm the steak, seafood, salad...

I'm Corey Feldman and Corey Haim

I'm Charlie Sheen no longer taking Corey Haim's desperate phone calls.

I’m the Patrick Nagel prints and Bogata snow.

I'm Michael Jackson's "Bad" leather queen period

Love seeing all the love for Swing Out Sister. One of my favourite bands. "Breakout" is a great song but the other singles from It's Better to Travel "Twilight World", "Surrender", and "Fooled by a Smile" are just as good. And their follow-up album, Kaleidoscope World, is even better.

They should have been bigger. They're huge in Japan.

I’m “Hot Daddy Kyle” - I was the Playgirl Centerfold for March. I look a little bit like Tom Selleck and Lee Horsley so I pick up a lot of modeling gigs for the International Male Catalogue. I am the tallest “Dancer” in the “Hollywood Hunks” dance/stripper group. We are a rip off of The Chippendales. I have to pull out my Thomas Guide and hop on the 210 - we are performing for Ladies Night at the Howard Johnson’s in Monrovia…..

As a gayling, I would imitate Corinne Drewery's dance moves in the very chic Twilight World video out on the backyard deck stairs.

I'm the first floor men's room at the Mayflower Hotel in DC. About twenty stalls and twice as many urinals. Each of them is occupied. The tile floor and walls are immaculate, but the heady aroma of dick, semen, and butt permeates the air.

I'm JELLO SHOTS

"smoking or nonsmoking?"

I'm the introductory free vial of sexy, new, Drakkar Noir Men's Cologne given out to every gentleman attending this 1987 summer evening's exclusive San Francisco Black and White Ball, an expensive fundraising event for the opera, symphony, and ballet.

I have saturated my twink owner's neck and the leather bow tie that he chose to wear with his thrift shop vintage tux. He will get separated from his boyfriend because cell phones hadn't been invented yet and he's never had champagne before and we will end up fucking the closeted rich husband of a socialite in the back seat of their limo because one whiff of me is like inhaling poppers when I first came on the scene.

In a few decades, I can be had for $12.98 at WalMart and I will be repulsive.

I'm T'Pau's "Heart and Soul," one of the best songs of the 80s.

I'm the NBC Miniseries Event "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles," starring Ann Margaret and Claudette Colbert. Based on the best-selling novel by Dominick Dunne.

I'm Into the Woods...

I am the typefaces in the trailer at R201.

Few things are more 1987 than me.

I'm Christian Lacroix's "pouf" dress.

I'm Justine Bateman at the 1987 Emmys. I couldn't look more "1987" if I tried.

I'm the Sexiest Man Alive!

I'm KT Oslin's "80s Ladies." I am an anthem for Boomer women hitting middle age.

r205 Girl lookin fine.

I'm Michael Dukakis planning my presidential run.

"I'm not gonna be IGNORED Dan!"

I'm pop music. I'm terrible.

I'm sticking my fingers down my throat puking up the food I just binged on. It's all because of my parents' divorce two decades ago and because my husband never really loved me. The fucking press still refers to me as "Lady Di".

Boy, the various Let's be 197 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 were a 1000 times better than this, each and every one of them.

Just shows you.

I was born in May of that year and was the first male in the family for almost 60 years who was allowed to keep his foreskin.

I'm the song that unleashed Bjork on an unexpecting world—the Sugarcubes' fabulous "Birthday," which was released as a single in summer 1987.

I'm Icehouse's "Electric Blue."

We are Exposé, and we're all over the radio this year.

I am the film "Nuts". Herself manages to get herself cast in a shameless bid to get an Oscar by playing a big melodramatic role. My script asks you to believe that Herself is an expensive hooker men would pay to have sex with. Mind her dragon lady finger nails, johns!

I'm the wonderful drama series A Year in the Life, which began airing weekly in September 1987. I got great reviews but meh ratings.

Years later, former NBC entertainment president Brandon Tartikoff said canceling me was his biggest professional regret.

And then he died.

I’m Stephen Collins - I’m the leading man in Two Mrs Greenville’s starring Ann Margret and Claudette Colbert. Wow - I am having a fantastic run of luck - I have cornered the market on playing the leading man to the lady stars of the best TV movies and miniseries of the decade. I play smarmy Dan Broderick opposite Meredith Baxter in the Betty Broderick movies. I play JFK opposite Roma Downey in A Woman Named Jackie. I am Bette Midler’s husband in Stella, not to mention Ashley Wilkes in Scarlett. Then I’ll rack up over 200 episodes of 7th Heaven. I have about 23 more good career years before an audio tape is leaked to the public - whoops later I admitted to having inappropriate sexual relations with 3 underaged girls…..

I'm the dense curly hair growing from the crotches and balls of practically all adult males. It will be a decade or more before the trend of male pubic hair removal even begins to take hold.

It was a fetish thing and, strangely enough, you would see it with men in the leather community and those heavily into S&M and bondage.

So you were already an old lady in 1987? No one watched that except seniors.

r244 The average age on Datalounge is 120.

Woody and Mia were making movies together.

I"m Datalounge!!!

Help me, I am stuck!!!

It's like Groundhog Day in here, though this movie and this reference will not happen for another six years.

HELP US!!!

SET US FREE!!!

I'm Tiffany

Radio Days was one of Woody's best movies.

My partner and I were married Sep 2, 1987. Still together, which is even more amazing.

[quote] Belinda liked Charlotte. It was Jane and Kathy she couldn't stand.

Bitchlinda was a coked up mess and her allegiances changed with her underwear.

I’m Dirty Dancing. A movie about a Jewish resort in the Catskills. None of these resorts will make it to the end of the decade.

I'm John Travolta. This is a low point in my career. But I'm having fun humping every masseur in the Western world

[quote] I’m Dirty Dancing. A movie about a Jewish resort in the Catskills. None of these resorts will make it to the end of the decade.

Why should they have, R252? The movie took place in the 60s.

The resorts barely made it to the end of the 1950s. My grandmother used to work in one and by the early 60s most of the resort work had dried up.

I'm the gay question.

I'm these commercials:

I'm Finesse shampoo. Sometimes you need a little finesse, sometimes you need a lot!

I'm the movie "Who's That Girl?". I am a flop but at least Madonna got 1 good song out of me and a tour.

Hey these “let’s be” threads are novel and entertaining! Let’s do more!

The halfway point of Madonna and Sean Penn’s marriage. Half the time they spend fucking and half the time they spend beating each other up.

George Michael comes out with "I want your sex". The MTV VJ introduces it by saying George Michael's girlfriend is in the video with him. Little gayling me is very confused.

Who is that gorgeous man in that Lethal Weapon movie? Little did I know what he would turn out to be like.

Rick Astley is going to have so many hits!

I’m “I Found Someone,” giving Cher her first hit song in years.

That Bon Jovi guy is a flash in the pan

Hi! I’m Larry and this is my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl.

I'm R. Budd Dwyer. Watch this...

R205 Every time I see Justine’s name I think of that story someone on here told of her taking a disgusting smelly shit that left a horrific smell in the bathroom at a party.

I'm Ad Rock fucking Mollie Ringwald.

I’m “Baby Boom.”

Never heard that story r269

I am Betty Broderick - I am sitting in my kitchen in La Jolla. I’m getting warmed up to leave some fabulously vile messages on my husband Dan’s answering machine about Linda ‘The Cunt’ Kolkina.

I'm the briefcase full of cocaine being helicoptered out of Manhattan to the house in Montauk.

I'm Three Men and a Baby. Fatal Attraction may have been the most talked-about movie in 1987, but I grossed even more money than that film and with two TV stars headlining the film!

I'm Jessica Hahn, going on Church Chat to clear my name.

Jan Hooks was so damn funny, so talented.

I'm "Star Trek: The Next Generation", premiering September 28, 1987.

I'm time, time, time, see what's become of me.

I can't believe I'm looking for a job! I thought "Life With Lucy" was going to run for years.

R275 except everyone’s forgotten about me and I’m never even on TV.

I'm the curious gayling helping a neighbor dad holding his ladder while he climbed the roof.

He wore shorts with no underwear.

I'm terrified of AIDS.

HAWT R282 and I’m not being facetious. That really is hot… wish you had pics.

I'm Dynasty perfume!

"Oh, let me see if I can remember back that far. Well, my beau (it was too forward to call the fella you held hands with your boyfriend) picked me up and we took the bus to the Grand Central Thee-A-ter to see "Waikiki Wedding." I wanted to see "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", so we tossed a coin and he won. What's that? 19 EIGHTY seven? Never mind..." - Miss Emily Litella

I’m Tina Lord Roberts, and I’m driving tons of fun water cooler conversations by my larger than life antics.

I'm Andy Cohen. I am a twink.

With a bit less than 2 years clean and sober, I left New York City, where I’d lived for 15 years, and, on Thursday, Oct. 22nd, 1987, flew to the island of Kaua’i. My parents were gone, I’d received a modest inheritance, and I shared in my AA meetings that I was going to move to Kaua’i, and use that money to completely rebuild myself from the ground up.

And I did.

After getting sober, it was the smartest thing I ever did.

I'm Henry Kissinger and was just asked to join the board of this new company, Enron.

Ken Lay seems like a stand up guy.

R289 Good for you. Sincerely.

r289 congratulations on getting and staying sober. That's never easy.

I'm Gym Jordan, assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State. I'm sick of all these wrestlers whining that the team doctor groped them. Just let him grab your dick and stop whining about it!

[quote] I’d received a modest inheritance, and I shared in my AA meetings

You told a bunch of alcoholics you had money?

I'm your yes man, yes ma'am, I'm your yes man!

I am Oscar-winning actress Faye Dunaway and Barfly is one of my greatest performances.

Damn you, Academy! Damn you to Hell!!!!

I'm soap actress Philece Sampler. You might me know as Renee on Days of Our Lives. You can now catch me on NBC's Another World, where I am Brand New Sexy Donna Hudson!

Well, hello!

I’m the “Max Headroom Incident” in Chicago. My perpetrator wasn’t never caught

It's all about Belinda this year.

Her big hit surpassed anything Mads put out in '87.

She'll rule the 90s for sure!!!

I watched Y&R today and there was another Jill Abbott recast filling in for Brenda Dickson while she is absent. I hope Brenda is back soon, because Jill is not the same without her.

R36 I fucking LOVE that story.

The Sandra appearances on Dave still hold up amazingly. Still give me belly laughs. She was brilliant.

I'm "Never Tear Us Apart," by INXS. Gay men will dance (and declare their love for each other) to me into the next decade and beyond.

We're spiral perms and mall bangs.

I want your sex

We are Elliott, Ethan, Nancy, Ellyn, Janey, Hope, Michael, Melissa, and Gary. We'll be here every Tuesday night at 10 on ABC for the rest of the decade. [SPOILER ALERT: except Gary.]

R294, that’s nothing.

While taking a friend to his first meeting I had to tell my roommate I lost my house keys in a roomful of crystal meth addicts!

[R294]: I got sober in Brooklyn Heights. There are a lot of well-heeled drunks in recovery there. Many of the meetings were held in church rooms that looked like Harvard buildings.
