Sigh...I wish I'd thought to bring a camera along during my adventures in the 80s. I can't find any pictures of my rooster bangs - except for the ones in the year book, or I'd share too. We really didn't take pictures. The cell phone youth has us beat on that for sure. Of course, no incriminating evidence lingers either...

Yeah, I hear ya about the incriminating evidence Holly. I'm kind of glad there weren't cell phone cameras around, I'd be screwed...lol

(I hope you don't mind but I took your sentence, removed the capitalization and also took out the exclamation point). Yah, I know - I am not perfect, either. I have a tendency to overuse that exclamation point.
I just wanted to show you that we can still understand the gist of what you are saying without using Caps Lock. I hope you don't mind? :lurve:

LOL - thanks Neesy - when I see all caps like that always think "quit yelling at me".

Totally OT but I dated a deaf guy - he was so cute and such a good kisser! And even though he couldn't hear me, I couldn't help yelling - we mostly just had to not talk. He finally got tired of it - well, really his mom did. It's relevant due to my dating adventures in the 80s.

And speaking of Dungeons and Dragons...anyone play the board game version in the 80's? I was into this game big time in as much as I had notebooks filled with info about my magic user character. Hit points, charisma, spells. My best friend, also a Stephen King uber fan, introduced me to it in about 1985 and we had a regular game for about 6 years whenever we could all get together. One guy was an awesome dungeon master and the three of us made quite a good team. We had tons of modules. I wish I would have kept some of my D&D dice and modules, they would make for fun reading now. I've tried to explain to my son how we played D&D as a board game and he just gives me the blank "WOW, you are friggin old" look as I ramble on about how simpler things were back then.

I played this one in high school. My cousin had it and we played it several times. It was addicting. The only thing I remember about it was that it came with a video tape explaining how to play and it had several boards and scenarios.
