bullseye Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 i remember:thinking guys in members only jackets were so cool.when walking around with two beepers meant you were two times more important than everyone else. when wearing a baseball cap at the dinner table was taboo. parachute pantsthinking my cock was only good for peeing. making out with Dawn Lomber in the first grade in the hallway.thinking guys who had camaros and trans ams got all the chix, and how a mullet was cool. having more candy than anyone else in grammar and junior high meant you were the shit. and finally, i remember having a crush on justine bateman.
