As I stated a few weeks ago. Ralph Macchio is the greatest actor of all time. And the movie Rad has had profound implications in my life.

Aubs & wakegurl- You guys are what 15-16? That's like the tail end of the 80's. I'm guessing 87?

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

ya, im 15, born in 87, but the growing up part i can remember has some of those things in it

Dees · Posted: Apr 21, 2003 9:10 pm Post subject:

goonies was a classic movie, breakfast club, weird science, 16 candles, ferris buehler's day off all great movies

Who pegged their pants... Come on admit it. I know I did cause all the cool kids were doing it. I even made a deal with my Dad to get the Jordans when those came out.

K-dub · Ladies Man Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 14760

I pegged em'....not afraid to admit it!

how old are you, Jester??? I know i'm old enough to remember everyone of the things on aubs' list that pertain to guys.... Laughing

Mister C · Posted: Apr 21, 2003 9:39 pm Post subject:

What do you mean when you say you pegged your pants? Sounds like some weird stuff to me.

Nor*Cal · Ladies Man Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 9479 City: Sac

Pegging was when you either made a tight cuff at the bottom of your pants or used safety pins to get the similar effect.

Mister C · Posted: Apr 21, 2003 10:07 pm Post subject:

Oh that, I think the kid in the movie "The Sandlot" did that. His name was Benny the Jet or something. I think I would've done that if I had been around back then.

K-dub · Ladies Man Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 14760

I even sported the parachute pants that dees spoke of earlier.... Laughing
