80's Feud by 42fish [Closed]

I think my “permed hair” response could have gone into “big hair.”

Not that it would move me out of the middle of the pack.

ETA: Good theme, 42fish, and, as always, thanks for scoring/running, Dolores!

not really - perms were just curly, sometimes long, but not necessarily big.
“Big” hair was teased and backcombed and sprayed with what amounted to crazy glue in a pretty aerosol can and always looked (to me anyway) like straw

(Melanie Griffith and Joan Cusack in “Working Girl” wore Big Hair)

Ooh I didn’t get dead last!

Weird. I don’t remember that at all.

Great game, thanks!

Y’all answered all the stuff I had to look up! And I agree with anyrose, permed hair does not equal “big hair.”

I don’t remember hypercolor at all.

My personal worst showing! Woo hoo!

My worst score (20) so far, but still above average. I’ve NEVER heard “gag me with a spoon” before. What does that even mean?

It doesn’t mean anything! That’s the BEAUTY of it! [/sarcastic]

which indicates you were likely born in the late 80s or early 90s - The Valley Girl Speech thing surged around '83-'84 and then slowly died off

Cool, fifth. I didn’t think I’d scored that high. I knew i should have gone with “Duran Duran” over “Depeche Mode” and “gag me with a spoon” over “fer sure,” though. “Flock of Seagulls” didn’t even occur to me, duh.

Yikes, down in the bottom ten again. :frowning: Hey I know … maybe if we did a 50s or 60s centric feud? Heh, then there’d probably be too few people who even know the answers. LOL I don’t know … I think I’m going to start working on questions from the 50s and 60s.

Thanks again, Delores Reborn for putting these up and especially for scoring them … even though my scores lately have been in the toilet. :smiley:

Y’all are very welcome. I really enjoy doing them!

Send me a list of questions, Tarr, or any of you. I only have 2 left.

Oh, and by the way, all you junkies are going to be jonesin’ - next Tuesday I have to have my gall bladder out, and I’ll be out of commission for 24 hours.

But I’ll run what I have until then, and I have an idea for one on Wednesday when I get home. If I feel ok, which I’m sure I’ll be fine. It’s laparoscopy after all. :eek:

Ooh, I call dibs on doing a 90s one!

Woot, #3!! My best showing ever!

Though I completely forgot about legwarmers…blocked 'em out, I suppose.

And FTR, Michael Jackson did not perform at Live Aid.

I suspect some people got confused between ‘Performed at Live Aid’ vs. ‘Sang on We Are the World’

Yay, I’m in the middle this time!

like me :smack:

34th huh… did a lot better than I thought I would. :smiley:

Only #1 answers count, right? In which case I propose that if there’s a #1 answer which is factually incorrect, it get thrown out…I don’t think the television let factually incorrect answers through either.

Awww. Best of luck with the operation, hope you’re feeling okay afterwards!
