Do you think Magua got his revenge before being killed by Chingachgook and why? |

The big hair, the shoulder pads, the stirrup pants: for many these are objects of nostalgia or loathing. Yet even so, there is one magical place where the timeless beauty of the era still flourishes:
small town Texas.
Yes, friends, it's a mystical place where every woman over the age of 25 sports "big Texas hair" with fan-bangs and that sprunch-and-go style that has otherwise gone the way of the dodo. Siren-red lipstick, fringed jean jackets, and the scrunchee survive here in their original cultural context.
If you mourn this bygone era, perhaps you should make a visit to Hearne, Roscoe, or Melvin---veritable time capsules to take you back to the days of "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles." Only beware the regional dialect. You'll probably need a day or two just figure out what people are saying.
**Lest anyone think I'm being overly mean: I'm a native Texan who has spent a lot of time in small-towns. I'm making fun only of myself here!**
Leg warmers too?
I still get a kick out of the movies. Heck, I even own a copy of "Ski School" and "Breakfast Club" And I love the music - Thompson Twins, Police and even the one-hit wonders like Kajagoogoo (sp?). My husband was in a couple of bands, Dog Logic and Lone Wolf out in LA. He had the long blond hair and the other guys had the "big hair". *sigh* Those were the days....

Probably right. Around 8-10yrs old at the time but I saw my brother in his parachute pants and shirts.

Shoot...even my good friend listens to Thriller over and over and over!
That video use to scare me!
And I do recall a friend of mine having the biggest crush on Michael Jackson (who at that time was good lookin' and wasn't crazy).

Hey Light  you were just too young to enjoy the 80's |
| Irishgirl |
Posted - December 13 2006 : 09:43:32 AM
Hey I loved the 80's. Looking back some of the styles were just attrocious but I loved the music and I was single and carefree and sure had a hell of a time (the parts I can recall) that is.
I agree about Madonna and her cones. May they never make a comeback  |

Don't forget STURRUPS! I can't believe they're making a comeback! Ya' know I didn't like the 80's even in the 80's. I don't know...it was just kinda' ick as far as the "norm" went.
Ya' know...
Bad boy on motorcycle sitting on a dark damp road with fog lifting from the street. Girl with big curly hair wearing spandex miniskirt, big hoop earings, and tons of makeup who knows daddy won't approve of bad boy but loves him anyway. And then there's always a valley-girl, like, totally thrown in there somewhere who will, like, pop her bubble gum or something!
And don't even remind me about Madonna and her cones! |

Ditto to that as long as they are NA men. They always look scrumptious with long hair

Very gracious indeed. I suppose he decided that the bloodshed needed to end and he was the one to do it. Besides, whatever happened to respecting your elders?! |

I would say that he got most of the revenge he sought but at the same time....his spirit was still broken. He did not regain any of the things he had lost and I agree that he did not look as though he felt better after the killings. But on the same token, perhaps he was not seeking happiness but merely inflicting the same heart ache on those who crossed his path. In that sense, yes he succeeded trememdously. |

they surely have. but it wasn't the main thing for the indians. I always thought they were supposed to take a bite of a heart to gain the dead animal's strengh. or their rival's. |

I think white hunters killed buffalos for these, not Indians.. |

Posted - June 16 2006 : 10:30:07 PM
i figured it was the tongue since in the movie when they came upon the dead buffalo from the hunters he said they were killed only for their tongue's and their hide.thanks |
