The "You Might be a New Waver if..." game

[JohnPaulGeorgeRingo]

i lost track of the number

...if you bring only drumsticks to school or work (most of us are in the 30s above) like Watts in Some Kind of Wonderful.

...dance only with hands like Tears For Fears

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

<br>Come guys only a few more to go for 365!
(349) You remember when Zenith TVs were the rage!

If it weren't for Zenith I never would have existed! (my parents worked for Zenith and that's how they met)


Whoah I've been gone a while! Seriously how hard would it be to get this printed? I was sort of kidding when I started this thread but do you guys think it seriously would be worth printing? Could I sell enough to cover the cost of the print setup?? I'm not looking to make a profit, but I can't afford to lose any money doing this. Besides which could Jeff Foxworthy sue me?

Kimiii, Great ending! Perfect!

Universal,

I have about 5 people begging me for it! You have to make it happen! This is just waiting to happen. Please organize this as soon as possible. If not give someone else the green light to proceed with this.

Please proceed with it. I talked to a printer and I cannot afford this project. Green light![:p]

You might be New Wave...

...if at some point everything in your wardrobe was only black and white.

...you think KROQ went to hell WHEN Richard Blade signed ON as opposed to after he left!

...the song you think of when people mention Tommy Tutone is Cheap Date and NOT Jenny 867-5309!!!

[Randall Roq]

You might be New Wave if you....

...remember "Logic Likes Me".

...ever had a crush on April "Ape" Whitney or Katie Manor.

...did the pogo at Dillons.

...remember Suicide's suicidal opening at the Universal.

You might be a new waver if you feel the need to bring up this thread (per Nero Lance's request)in support of this message board.[;)]

[hutter]

You might be a new waver if you can remember any verses from "West End Girls".

"Never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump" W.C. Fields

[n/a5]

You might be a New Waver if you ask the florist if they have black flowers available for Valentine's Day.

You perk your head up and get excited when someone says the word "gatefold".

Nice Valentine link Nero![8D]

Oh my gosh--that's a GOOD ONE! And so true. I sometimes will make a reference to something 12", extended play whatever, and my husband thinks I'm making a dirty joke.
Thanks for the laugh, UniversalRadio ![:)]

You might be a new waver if:

•Remember when all New Wavers, Punk Rockers, New Roes, Skas and mods were just called "Mods" by the other 95% of the kids in high school...

•Actually saw The Smiths live

•The first notes you play after picking up a bass guitar are from 'Bela Lugosi's Dead"

•Were threatened violence for wearing pink lipstick, red blush, black eyeliner and a neatly pressed white suit.

•Slept with the high schools football heros cheerleader girlfriend because of aforementioned getup.

•You'd make a special trip to "Chinatown" to get those black slippers with the rubber / plastic bottoms.

•Get angry when people think an (..well, my) 'Ace Face' fashioned scooter looks likes Pee Wee Hermans Bicycle.

•For a literay project in English class, you coose "Quitet Life" by Japan as a work of poetry.

•Dress up as Midge Ure for a Halloween custome. Understandably no one gets it.

•Think New Wave chicks are infinitely hotter than cheerleader variety.

•Think 'Liquid Sky' is a good movie.

•Tape recorded (audio) the Devo segment in "Square Pegs"

•Used a rubber band to "peg" your pants

•Hated those chicks/dudes with the baseball cut shirts and black members only jackets with Def Leppard, Iron Maiden or Judas Priest patches.

• Immediately think of Power, Corruption and Lies whenever you see a floral still life.

[GlitteringPrize]

you still have a box load of tapes of New Wave music you taped off the radio




I dont know what number were up to...........

[spohlso]

How about, you own DVDs of 'Repo Man' and 'Valley Girl' specifically because they span the entire gamut of 80s social archetypes.

(Bonus points if you already have the 'Repo Man' DVD but went ahead and got the new 'Special Edition' as well just to have the scenes that only made it to the TV cut previuosly.)
