In case you are too young to remember this surreal incident in U.S. history, please note it is First Lady Nancy Reagan sitting on Mr. SanTa's lap there. The oddness of the eighties knows no bounds.
A Return to the Stars

After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

From the looks of it, I'm guessing that no matter what you ask SanTa for, you're getting a Mr. T doll.
ReplyDeleteI remember when this happened. My grandfather, who was an old-school segregationist, had a complete and utter fit.
ReplyDeleteThe 1980s is why time travel is illegal and scientists are working around the clock to make it impossible
ReplyDeleteHehe, the 1980's were such a wacky time. As an unrepentant child of the 80's, I'm sure it explains a lot about my personality.
ReplyDeleteThat rocks. I bet her new Mr. T action figure will be a present for the President to play with in the Oval Office. Nice one, Jeff.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Mr. T doll is on display in the Regan Presidential Library?
ReplyDeleteElvis and Nixon.
ReplyDeleteNancy Reagan and T.
What other cool combos have there been?

And here I thought that was the 1970s
Good times. And to make all you other children of the 1980's feel old, my 11-year old daughter is having an '80s themed birthday party in a few days. Yeah - the 80's are now old enough to be a party theme, complete with commercially produced plates and napkins.
ReplyDeleteThe First Lady in this picture looks a little too much like one of those creepy marionettes. You know the kind that came to life in 80s horror movies and cut you open.
ReplyDeleteHO-HO-HO SUCKA!

ReplyDeleteBush and Cheney?
No wait, that's not right...
It must be shock: despite the utter absurdity of this photo, I can't help but be vexed by a silly thing: why are Mr. T's boots held together with tape?
ReplyDeleteChristopher B: Mr. T wore stuff like that on purpose, because he was a role model, and he didn't want kids who were so poor they HAD to dress like that to feel bad.
