1982 time capsule! What are you submitting?

[JimmyJazz]

Mine is my concert ticket stub from the Who's "farewell" tour - Shea Stadium, October 13. I would photograph it an post it, but I'm too lazy to go into my basement to find it.

[KitchenWitch]

1. My tassel.

[JimmyJazz]

5. HS or college?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

9. High School

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. That was their first farewell tour, wasn't it?

I could pop in a Genesis: ABACAB concert stub, except I don't have it.

Othwerwise, like most everything from 1971-1987 or so, it should ALL be put in a time capsule, and forgotten, and never seen again.

[JimmyJazz]

6. Yes, darling - the first of many!

:crazy:

[democracyindanger]

3. My ticket stub from my first concert

Def Leppard opening for Billy Squier. ROCK AND ROOOOOOOOLL!

[KitchenWitch]

7. I was front row center for that concert

My girlfriend somehow got on stage and made out with the lead singer for Def Leppard before the security guards chucked her clear into the 5th row.

[democracyindanger]

13. Did Def Leppard

do one too many encores, so the roadies came on stage and started taking down Def Leppard's set while they were playing?

[KitchenWitch]

14. That is possible

I think I may have been far too baked by then.

[WCGreen]

4. I don't remember 1982...

Honestly...

I was on my way to becoming a professional drinker by then.....

[JimmyJazz]

8. I'm sorry. I know how that feels.

:hug:

[WCGreen]

27. I'm sorry that you know how that feels.....

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Er...my brother's birth announcement?

i was 5 in 1982

[Deja Q]

11. Apic of reagan signin the bill that terminated alternative energy projects

[FuzzySlippers]

12. An E.T. DVD.

[JimmyJazz]

16. I love you!

[yvr girl]

15. My grade 9 yearbook

Can't think of anything else.

[JimmyJazz]

17. Bite me, yivver!

Grade 9. I was in grade 9 in 1982! Neener, neener, neener. *raspberries to you*

[KitchenWitch]

18. I gotcha both beat, I was a SENIOR

:rofl:

[JimmyJazz]

22. Sweetie - I was a junior in 1982.

In college :D

[KitchenWitch]

26. oops

:rofl:

[yvr girl]

19. *scratches head*

I'm confused - I recalculated - I WAS in grade 9 in the 1981-82 school year.

[JimmyJazz]

23. Yes, and I was NOT!

:P I am much older than you. BTW - do you know of any BINGO games in the area? I have a sudden urge to play! Or maybe some canasta? :silly:

[KitchenWitch]

29. What, no mahjong?

[Redstone]

41. What, we're having an "old contest?" I graduated from high school

in 1970. Not a typo. How's THAT for old?

So I'd give you a few neeners back, but I'm just feeling too old and tired these days...the old lumbago acting up....

Redstone

[yvr girl]

48. You're not that much older than me

I love canasta. My family always played games.

[Redstone]

20. First NEW car I ever owned was a 1982 Rabbit convertible:

Will this picture do?

Redstone

[JimmyJazz]

24. OMG! Best. Picture. EVAH!

:loveya:

[Redstone]

37. You like that one? It was my Christmas card for 1982, and

the caption was "Season's Greetings from the Connecticut Shoreline" (the ocean was right behind the car, and frozen).

The dog's name was Whirl. She was a good dog. An irredeemable lunatic, but a good dog.

Redstone

[ReadTomPaine]

70. Cute Cabrio, basket handle and dog - you had the look down nicely!

Heh, I also recall when that car was released, the GTI was super hot in some circles. You have a good eye for autos, Red.. and I've noticed a marked preference for convertibles in your garage.

[sakabatou]

21. Uh...

Astro Boy Adventures...

[xmas74]

25. My poster of John Taylor from Duran Duran.

It hung on my bedroom wall for a few years in the place of honor.

[Arugula Latte]

28. I saw that Who tour as well -- and THE CLASH opened!

That was at the Oakland Coliseum.

I'll throw in a B-52s stub into the mix.

I was 16 in '82. Got my braces off and my driver's license (after two failed attempts -- how embarrassing!).

[JimmyJazz]

30. the Clash opened at Shea, too - and David Jo.

:toast: excellent show. :D

[Arugula Latte]

34. Righteous tunes!

:toast:

[JimmyJazz]

38. Two of them are on "From Here to Eternity" - a must CD

for any Clash fan :D

[usedtobesick]

31. My ticket to the Whos "farewell tour" at Shea Stadium Oct 13

would be just to much so I'll add my ticket to see Oingoboingo (SP?) at the London Victory Club in Philly.

[JimmyJazz]

33. OMG - you were at Shea? I thought I recognized you! Do you know me?

[usedtobesick]

44. you, me, and what 25 thousand other very stoned and or drunk friends

sure we know each other, every northeaster born in the early 60's kind of lived the same life. Me or someone just like me I am sure.

[JimmyJazz]

58. Where were your seats? It is really weird that we were in the same place

at the same time!

[Left Is Write]

32. My cropped Levi's denim jacket and ivory leather Peter Pan boots.

[tarkus]

35. "Beat" by King Crimson

I think that was the best album that year....

[LynneSin]

36. One poorly recorded copy of Kashmir I taped off of the radio

My then boyfriend had then do a dedication for me on my 16th birthday. From Corey to Lynne

[Beware the Beast Man]

39. My 45 of Toto's "Africa"

That was the bomb track back in 3rd grade. :headbang:

[xmas74]

57. I had that too!

Must have been a popular song for our age group!

[ZombieNixon]

40. Whoawhoawhoa? 1982? I wasn't born until '87.

Are you saying there was life before me?



You are?

<...>

:wow:
Well, this has certainly been an enlightening experience...goodbye!

[Left Is Write]

45. Yes, and quite a bit of it!

In fact, I could have been your mother! I gave birth to my first child in 1987.

[ZombieNixon]

55. But you're not.

My mother only found out about DU a month ago.

[Left Is Write]

56. No, you're right. I'm not.

My 1987 child is a girl. :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

42. I could post something very naughty, but modesty prevents it

1982 was the year I lost my...marbles?

[two gun sid]

43. My member's card from the Eastside Club in Philly...

and a little bit of some highly potent crank that helped me make it through some very, very long nights.

[Redstone]

47. Are we contemporaries? These days, when I mention crank,

people look at me with a blank stare until I translate the word into the more modern "meth."

Are you on the old side of this crowd, like me?

Redstone

[two gun sid]

50. I guess so. Turned 45 last month. I don't feel that old....

except when I wake up in the morning. Mornings suck. Cold mornings really suck.

[Redstone]

71. I had that same feeling at 45. Was going into the hospital for surgery,

and when they asked how old I was, I said: "45. I don't know how the hell that happened, but there it is anyway."

Redstone

[keithjx]

46. I was 7, and

My brother won a Mtn Dew shirt from a radio show that I wore all the time. Hope it doesn't stink up the capsule....

[recoveringdittohed]

49. A bottle of Ketchup

I'll fudge a little & submit an item from 1981. In September 1981 the Reagan Administration's Agriculture Department proposed officially designating Ketchup as a vegetable.

[JimmyJazz]

51. OMG - I remember that all too clearly!

Yes, wasn't Reagan wonderful? :sarcasm:

[agates]

[Dave Reynolds]

59. My HS diploma wall hanging,

which has been in a cardboard box since...well....1982.

[jpgray]

60. The bottle of whiskey my dad said I came out of the bottom of?

:shrug:

[merh]

61. I don't have anything - can I just write something witty and submit it?

:shrug:

:think: :silly:

[Aristus]

62. My 8th Grade Algebra textbook.

That thing definitely needs to be buried in the ground for 10,000 years.

[mitchum]

63. Sex with complete strangers
