Members' Corner: Like the "Members Only" Jackets from the 80s... - The Fireplace Forum

Topic: Members' Corner: Like the "Members Only" Jackets from the 80s...

For a number of reasons, especially for a forum this size and so conducive to trolls, I use the feature where only I can create threads.

But I thought this could be a thread used by people for whatever reason. If someone wanted to dole out advice on shit, or as PI said, the "Phanty fifths the rumors thread", or talk about or post whatever links, spam, anime fangirl stuff, whatever you'd like here.

It's like the chat thread I guess but with no restrictions. You can do whatever you'd like here. Rant. Rave. Share whatever. Triple post. Quadruple post. Feel free.

I like to start with a little feature called "Flame Rising's Quote of the Day"...

♦ℜ♦: "Llamas do not make good house pets. Take it from me."

Yeah...I'll probably be the only one using this thread, but what the hell...

Members' Corner: Like the "Members Only" Jackets from the 80s... Ok. I think this is the second time I have heard you mention "Members Only". You like them I know it. You have one in burgundy that you wear around town.XD

Oooo! Can we get jackets like from the movie Grease?! I've always wanted a T-bird jacket....

"Llamas do not make good house pets. Take it from me."

Neither do koalas. xD

Oh hell no, he's got one in silver, ala Lionel Richie dancing on the ceiling, and I don't want to hear any shit about how "old" you have to be to remember that (much less dance to it).;)

Also, just so we can get this out here, again; what's this I read about a goatee in the 90's, you fashion rebel you.

I bet he had big "Joe Dirt" hair too!LOL!

Oh this is too funny! Here's your Member's only! I was yowling.XD

LOL! It looks like his crotch is on fire! LOLOLOLOL! Flame Rising? LOL!

What? F/R had a goatee? **snickers maniacally**

Wait a minute... how we can be certain that you don't still have one?

Hehe...the thought of F/R with a goatee made me chuckle. xD

I bet he still does have one. ;D

#8 Jan 08th, 9:14am

Wait a minute Fabs, that's not a members only jacket, it's leather or pleather, but I do like the smokin crotch shot, lol.

Members only = (God have mercy on me) Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett. Chant Miami Vice, Michael Mann, Miami Vice, Michael Mann, Miami Vice.......... and I don't mean that half assed remake from a year ago.

how we can be certain that you don't still have one?

Oh Pie, I could say something that would make Fabs blush, but I shall refrain.;)

#9 Jan 08th, 10:28am . Edited Jan 08th, 10:31am

Okay, I only have a second here, but I just had to say--it's so damn nice to check the forum and have it do what it's supposed to be doing all along...make me laugh.

This thread had me cracking up, so much thanks for the laughs. ;)

(By the way, it wasn't burgundy....it was a very trendy teal. One that my twin said was a very masculine teal. Though he was snickering at the time and never owned one himself...)

Edit: I will say I had fun fucking with the trolls last night. Every once in a great while, I do get the hankering to take their bait and have a little fun. They usually don't figure out how easily they give themselves away.

All in all--I'm liking the new threads!

This jacket...Does it come in other colors?

*Hit with a safe* Just a question! Ow...

Go here and type in "Members Only" in the search engine. It has all the beeeeee-autiful colors. (Mine was the second one down, I think.)

That's a very pretty shade of pink for you F/R ;)

I'm gonna go with the black one though, pink isn't really my color. xD

#14 Jan 08th, 11:04am

That's a very pretty shade of pink for you F/R ;) No, no, no! Not the ladies' jackets! ;)

Mine was the mens' teal one. I think...

I tried to bury that memory deep inside by soul.

Don't be shy F/R! Real men wear pink afterall ;)

I tried to bury that memory deep inside by soul.

I would've done the same thing. I despise the color pink. My mom says I'm supposed to like it 'because it's girly'. Feh!

#16 Jan 08th, 11:07am

My flame is gone:(

#17 Jan 08th, 11:07am

Hey, SW and Fabs, did either of you ever have a Member's Only purse? I did! It was white with tan trim. I was soooo cool! ;)

Mine was the mens' teal one. I think...

I would give just about anything to see a photo. :)

Oh Pie, I could say something that would make Fabs blush, but I shall refrain.;)

*g* Oh, go on, you know you want to say it.

Hey, SW and Fabs, did either of you ever have a Member's Only purse No! I was just too cool to fall for trendy stuff like that. I did however have parachute pants and big hair.

#19 Jan 08th, 11:09am

According to the photo that Vin shared, you still do. ;)

You only wish it was teal, the term teal never passed the lips of the trendy in the 80's, it was "get in touch with your feminine side" aqua.;)

#23 Jan 08th, 11:21am

No!

#25 Jan 08th, 11:22am

Did anyone have big hair? I am sick of crying. I need to laugh.

#26 Jan 08th, 11:24am

Perhaps it was...lilac.

Yes, that color just SCREAMS F/R.

;)

#27 Jan 08th, 11:25am

Ah, damn. Happy, fun time is over, and a staff meeting awaits.

Thanks for the laughs and the bad, bad memories.

(Ah, that reminds me of a goatee story...)

#28 Jan 08th, 11:26am

Big Hair, or what we politely called "mall hair".

#29 Jan 08th, 11:27am

Big Hair, or what we politely called "mall hair". I think I went through a can of hairspray every few days.

#30 Jan 08th, 11:28am

(Ah, that reminds me of a goatee story...)

Well hurry on back after you finish whipping your employees, cuz we're all dying to hear the tale.;)

#31 Jan 08th, 11:32am

Did anyone have big hair?

I never needed to spray or tease mine. I just grew it long and I was a walking head of hair. Then, I went really short and punk. I dyed it pitch black. It was a rather extreme look. ;)

#32 Jan 08th, 11:32am

I was going pretty much au naturale in those days Fab, when I wasn't working. I had long, long curly hair like Andie McDowell's (spl?).

#33 Jan 08th, 11:35am

My hair hates me, and I hate it.

It's a mutual hatred that I treasure dearly.

#34 Jan 08th, 11:35am

I was going pretty much au naturale in those days Fab, when I wasn't working. I had long, long curly hair like Andie McDowell's I was in heavy metal bands, a poser with high boots etc.XD The big hair could block out the sun. I thought I was the shit.XD

#35 Jan 08th, 11:39am

I was the anti-big hair.

Edit:

Ah, that reminds me of a goatee story

A goatee story? Or the story about you and the goat? I'm just saying that I've heard some rumors...

#36 Jan 08th, 11:40am . Edited Jan 08th, 11:45am

I went for the backcombed Robert Smith look. I was a bit of a Goth in the Eighties. Then I had a flat top with a thin plait tail, about three years after it went out of style. Both looks actually suited me, but since I went to one of those schools where we had to wear a uniform, Matron was always tracking me down and getting me to her room to wash the gel and hairspray out of my hair. I used to go to the toilets and put it back in again. Ah, those were the days!

Did anyone here watch "V"?

#37 Jan 08th, 11:43am

The big hair could block out the sun. I thought I was the shit.XD

I'm sure you were.:)) The only weird thing I did with my hair in those days was to bleach the ends blond for Halloween one year, sort of a reverse of the girl singer for Berlin. I thought the President of the bank I worked for was going to have a stroke before I dyed them back to my natural dark brown color.

#38 Jan 08th, 11:44am

Did anyone here watch "V"?

You mean that God awful reptile aliens in human masks series?

#39 Jan 08th, 11:47am

Perhaps we should talk about the wonders of the Mohawk?

It would be an...interesting discussion to say the least.

#40 Jan 08th, 11:48am

"V"? For Vendetta? The movie?

#41 Jan 08th, 11:48am

You mean that God awful reptile aliens in human masks series?

Yup! Did anybody here actually like it?

#42 Jan 08th, 11:50am

I love V for vendetta!

Because Ideas never die.

#43 Jan 08th, 11:51am

Yup! Did anybody here actually like it?

Ahhh, did you like it?;)

I'm sorry, but I thought it was some serious barftastic shit, the only cool thing about it was watching them unhinge their jaws to eat rats....yummy.

#44 Jan 08th, 11:53am . Edited Jan 08th, 11:54am

*Tries weakly to defend herself*

It had Robert Englund in it - before he was Freddy Krueger.

I was young, damn it!! ;)

*Tries weakly to defend herself*

It's ok Wendy, we all have our little secrets, lol. Robert Englund was one good point, though he was already playing Freddy Krueger, I think there was a couple of years delay in getting the series in England.

Crap, work calls, and I was having so much fun.;)

#46 Jan 08th, 11:59am

I have another confession - the shame! - I still think baggy trousers are cool.

There, I said it!
