Yes! Night people! Oh how I have missed thee.
  2:18am
Christian:

I know your rules - "jinx personal jinx" and if they talk you punch them over and over again.

Then there is also the more juvenile "doorknob" which is when someone farts you yell "doorknob" and the person who yells door knob gets to punch them
  2:19am
Christian Morrissey:

Sorry, you punch them until they hit the doorknob - and there was always a big difference between door knobs and door handles

Who Cares:

Umm, a couple of twenty-nothings discussing what drugs were "in" during the "seventies" is "boring". Mightn't there be some music you might play? What you're doing is what my friends and I used to do (while well stoned, in private) during the "eighties".
  2:42am

If you think that Cyndie Lauper encapsulates the "eighties" you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Taking the piss, maybe, but you'd be hard pressed, it seems, to come up with anything worth it. Like, you know? Like, that's just too easy, like,, you know?

Like I'm Like Like:

Like, how does one, like, go about, like, getting a radio, like, show of one's own, you know? I think (sometimes) that I'd like a, like, radio show. Do I need, like, a resumé, or, like, what?

I had these Ocean Pacific hot neon pink shorts in the 90s. It was cool for guys to wear pink for a while. The parachute pants also.
  4:36am
Pieter:

what had major impact for kids in Belgium I guess was the TMNT : before that pizza was almost completely unknown here, but boomed with that !
  4:48am
Pieter:

I remember from like 94 to 97 or something was the weirdest fashion change I ever experienced. In 94 all girls were saying pink was the ugliest color ever, which they would never wear, a few years later they were all wearing tight salmon pink pants ...
  4:51am

  5:07am
Joshua K:

  5:09am
Pieter:

I remember the 90's actually here as being when you were labeled based on musical interest and clothing linked to it. with alternative, grunge and rock on one hand and house / hardcore (and the here associated "Johnny & Marina" subculture associated to it) on the other.
  5:32am
Pieter:

from what I've heard in mathematics it's said that you peak around 27, after that it's very hard to have a real genius creative idea.
  5:33am
owen:

apparently certain people are really sensitive to a particular chemical in broccolli that most people cant taste which makes it really bitter.

i spent most of the 90's listening to my parents mock my brother for not liking broccolli only to recently see them contrite and apologetic when it became apparent that it wasnt just him being picky about vegetables.
  6:55pm
Elio from Chicago:

Great show. It was fun to hear 80's fads from the perspective of East and West coast kids. When your growing up, you don't even imagine kids outside of your town. (Except the ones on TV)
