Small disclaimer: I cheated on a couple of them
- I've had brain farts all day so please excuse my utter lack of integrity today.

Shit shit shit! Why do you do this to me? You make me look even more of an 80s geek than I feel......I answered ALL those questions without blinking or thinking.

Damn

Ok, I'll bite without Googling. I got a few at least.

  • Six members of the Brat Pack . . . hmm, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall?
  • No idea on Duran Duran.
  • By leader of the Transformers, I'll assume you mean the Autobots and say Optimus Prime.
  • Didn't the Super Friends meet up in the Hall of Justice?
  • New Order started out as Joy Division, which probably wouldn't set very with people anymore. (Nazi references have lost their "edge" value, for good reason.)
  • Paul and Winnie were Kevin's best friend and girlfriend respectively, and no, Paul isn't Marilyn Manson.
  • The mechanical bear . . . was . . . dunno.
  • The Joes always said knowing is half the battle.
  • I'm not going to touch the New Kids on the Block one.
  • As for Muppets, Gonzo, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
  • The craft toy question . . . agh . . . I actually made those damn things . . .
  • Spock was brought back to life on the Genesis Planet?? I haven't watched Trek 3 in some time. (Odd Treks baaaad! Even Treks gooood!)
  • Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, and Corey Feldman were the first Goon Docks residents I thought of.
  • Pac Man was menaced by Winky, Inky, Blinky, and Clyde.
  • The original Scooby Gang rode around in The Mystery Machine.
  • I'm lost on the band question (must . . . not . . . Google).
  • Theo, Rudy, Denise . . . uh . . . does 3 of 5 Cosby kids count?
  • The Golden Girls were Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia.
  • Ripley's ship was the Nostromo, IIRC.
  • Hughes . . . um . . . I wanna say Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, European Vacation, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
  • Hrm, did Minmei die in Robotech? I don't recall . . . if she did, good riddance.
  • I'll pass on the MTV Veejays -- only Adam Curry comes to mind. Me no have cable at the start of MTV.
  • REM came from Athens and . . . um . . . partial credit?
  • He-Man's sidekick was Orko. I didn't like him. He always looked shady under that hat.
  • The "Facts of Life" girls were Tootie, Natalie, Jo, and Blair. And Ms. Garret watched over them.
  • Ming was played by . . . Max von Sydow? I think . . .

P.S. Jo was the hot one in The Facts of Life.

Posted by: Mike | July 27, 2003 12:45 AM

i agree, jo was the hot one. especially in that prom episode. (like bailey was the hot one on wkrp) and i'm betting on genesis and nostromo. they both sound familiar. i can't believe i don't remember duran duran's original name...

Goonies: Don't forget Short Round from "Indy and the Temple of Doom", plus the Hot-Hot-Hot Kerry Green. Wonder what she looks like now?

Oh, and Spock was actually brought back to life on the Genesis planet (in the Mutara sector), but he was reunited with his katra on Vulcan.
