327) You STILL have some 'mint condition' item of 80's NW concert memorabilia stashed away in the dark recesses of your home. (In my case a "Police" officer badge pin from their 'Ghost In The Machine' Tour and a sleeveless tee shirt from their 'Synchronicity' Tour).[8D]
328) You hold out a glimmer of hope that one or both of your children will ask to proudly wear them someday. [|)]

The "You Might be a New Waver if..." game
by Agamis » Thu Mar 03, 2005 2:42 am
329) You are offended when someone uses the word "cheesy" to describe those early eighties videos which are so dear to your heart.
330) After 14 memberships in BMG, you have exhausted them as a source of New Wave music.
331) You split your recent life into BH (before hub) and AH (after hub.
332) You embrace the optimism associated with most New Wave music, yet find yourself strangely attracted to the darkness of goth.
333) You still appreciate the cutting edge technology used in the production of The Cars' "You Might Think" video.

ROFL! I almost forgot about that song! And I was 30 before I got over the black philosophy! Or did I ever REALLY get over it? Hmmm...
334) You thought OMD kind of sold out with "If You Leave"

335) You still have several Commander Salamander catalogs(for new wave fashion and accessories).
336) One of your favorite trips in the 80s was when you convinced your family to go to Melrose Avenue(in LA)where almost every store carried new wave and punk clothes, records, and decor.
337) When you saw "Desperately Seeking Susan", you were disappointed that it was not as good as Susan Seidelman's edgier new wave movie,"Smithereens" that starred Richard Hell and had a soundtrack by the Feelies.
338) There was a time in the early 80s when you stayed up with your friends watching every movie and video on Night Flight on the USA network on the weekends, even though you were exhausted in the mornings.
339) All the local record store employees knew you by name and would let you exchange a record if you didn't like it after listening to it, even without a receipt.
340) You spent hours reading music fanzines, from Flipside and Maximum Rock n Roll to glossy magazines like Star Hits and Rolling Stone.

341) You're more familiar with Michael Penn than you are his brother Sean.
342) You wanted to steal that Gordon's Gin "england-known for it's tradition" billboard off the subway. (or remember the feminists attacking the "england-known for it's bird watchers" billboard)

Come guys only a few more to go for 365! Of course we then have to have all fresh material for the following year. Hey UniversalRadio...get cracking on getting this printed up! A Nena inspired few:
(343) You think 99 Red Balloons sounds better as 99 Luftballons
(344) You doubly liked the song because it mentions Captain Kirk
(345) You learned German from reading the lyrics on the back of Nena albums
(346) You hate it when Nena and 99 Red Balloons makes on to those one hit wonders shows....because you know for a fact that she had better hits/albums later on and you have all her stuff...even the kids song CD that came out in the 90's!
Iggy Pop:
(347) You actually liked "Blah Blah Blah" better than everyhting else he did.
(348) You wished Bowie had not only produced that LP but sang with Iggy on a track or two (he may have provided background vocals I am not sure and I am too lazy to check the sleeve right now).
Other Stuff:
(349) You remember when Zenith TVs were the rage!
(350) Even as a child you shied away from the more brightly colored crayons prefering the black one accented occasionaly by red.
(351) The radiation symbol denoted a completely different feeling inside you compared to your parents.
(352) You never understood the success and popularity of ZZ Top.
(353) You just knew that back in the day when your little sister was cranking Debbie Gibson that she (Debbie not your sister) would one day pose naked in a magazine.
(354) You studied Select magazine's bands family tree thinking this would make a good game...only to see Kevin Bacon take it over years later.
(355) You ever took a picture of you and your friend's feet like the "OKI DOGS, 1980" Poster.
(356) When buying your first car you had a new wave scale measurement for the car. Things such as: color (black), country origin (European, Japanese makes/models), sound system and overall size (not to big like those 70s cars).
(357) You wished Ducky got the girl in the end...........

1. You think the New Wave movement was totally overlooked on "I Love The 80s"![:(!]
2. Your're still undecided on what Depeche Mode really means.(fashion dispatch or fast fasion? just don't tell my friends I said this!) [;)]

<br>Okay, I'll give you the last five:
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE: You might be a New Waver if you stumbled upon this board while surfing the net for info on your favorite 80s dance club or group and knew instinctively that you had found something priceless. You had found a home, with others like you. No, most of these people are even cooler than you and they know way more than you. And that's good because you get to ask questions and learn from them. They also have the best sense of humor you have ever found online. NWers learned very quickly to use sarcasm in the 80s as we were sometimes tormented and ridiculed for our "stupid looks" and "gay music." Now we have brought this form of making a point into our adult lives and the result is a style of humor that comedy writers would kill for. Nothing is funnier than a sardonic sparring between two (or more) board members. Along with that, there is genuine kindness and a sense of comraderie (as much as is possible online). So you might be a NWer if you came across Mike P's masterpiece, and stayed.

(bingo!)
The End!

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!
