Lyrics to "A Few Things the 80's Did Bring"

For those of you who missed some of the finer points of my song at the re-onion, here they are.
Remember they are sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things".


---------------- 1st verse -----------------

Boys with big hair and black Van Halen T-shirts

Girls with jean jackets and matching blue jean skirts

Parachute pants on the kid breakdancing

These are a few things the 80's did bring


Hot Shepard's pie being served to the masses

Jocks dump your books and the Heads all skip classes

Drama Geeks that make you puke when they sing

These are a few things the 80's did bring


When your job bites and your rent's due

And you're feeling sad

Be thankful that "WHAM" was just a passing fad

And then you won't feel so bad

--------------- 2nd verse -----------------

Taking a shower with friends after Gym Class

You get detention for gas that you just passed

Hormones that make you do most anything

These are a few things the 80's did bring


Cheerleaders filled with too much energy

You're in Closed Study cuz you got a "D"

Getting a boner just as the bell rings

These are a few things the 80's did bring


When your job bites and your rent's due

And you want to flee

Remember your face was once filled with acne

And then you won't feel sooooo baaaaaaad



*I couldn't remember - didn't people refer to the smoking area kids as "Heads" which I think was short for "Bone Heads"? I don't think it meant they were dumb - just that they enjoyed smoking "Bones" from time to time.

See you there!


I should probably post some embarassing photos while I'm here too....

So this is me now....I know - I'm not quite as muscular as I used to be when we were in school, but at least I still have all my hair.

This is my wife Polly and I just before we robbed an antique store. She is the one with the beard.

This is my whole family. The girl standing in front of me on the far left is my brother Randy's daughter. I don't have any children (or at least that's what I tell my family

This is our favorite place to eat.


Here are some pictures from the super duper space epic we are making called Battle Beyond Belief. I am currently working on it and hope to be done sometime in October.



This was filmed entirely in a large refrigerator that Doug Coldwell uses to store vegetables on his farm in western Mass (no kiddin). He actually is a character in the movie as is Ben Bradford. All of the effects, editing, sound and music are done in my basement.

When I am not working on the show or passed out drunk - I am a freelance artist. I do a lot of boring corporate stuff and every once in a while I get to make funny cartoon pictures for money.

I plan to start selling paintings of pin-up girls I call "Big Bad Beauties" and I will be posting animations and comics of mine on the same site that will host Battle Beyond Belief. The site is CrapMill and this will be fully functional before the year is over.

I will keep everyone posted on the progress (whether you like it or not).

Well - I gotta go get more whiskey....


Urp!

OK OK I'm Finally doing it....

To all of you people who have been on my back.... Here is the damn blog......

After NRHS I went to Bridgewater State for 4 1/2 years. I got sidetracked for a semester as I got accepted to the intership program at Walt Disney World.. What a damn PARTY!!! Mind you it was tough to come home. I finally tore myself away to finish the last year of school. Graduated with a business degree, and went to work at Strawberries. I was fascinated with music for some reason. I was convinced that I was going to work for a record label someday. I went to TONS of concerts, and met lots of rockstars, and eventurally worked my way into human resources. Along the way I met my first husband. He was lots of fun, but after 6 years (Yeah it took me that long) I realized that our lives were going in different directions. (It clued me in after 3 years of trying to have kids when he mentioned that he didn't think he wanted kids).

I had a good career going in HR, and eventually got into the Centrum (now DCU Center). I met my husband now (Rob) and yes after 1 month I found out I was pregnant. (Yes - I was a skank) I never thought I was really going to have a baby - after 3 misscariages, you don't really believe it until you are holding the baby. I couldn't stand to put her in daycare, so I started a home child care business. That was 8 years ago, and I have since had 2 other choldren as well. Rob has a daughter who is from a previous marriage who lives with us -so a total of 4 kids. Don't even get me started on teenagers!!

Being with small children all day long as you can imagine can make you crazy. So to keep me sane - I just make all of you crazy with 10,000 emails every day!!!!!!

For fun....(I know you are wondering) I play softball. I coached a team last year, and hope to coach another team this year.

I'll get pictures up soon - I promise.

Love,

Robin

JJ Sappett has a baby boy!!

Reunion Guru Robin King forwarded this to most everyone, but just in case the email missed anyone...

Hi Classmates-

OK brace yourselves for this one....

Liz Sappet (JJ's Wife) has gone back to Florida since JJ's passing, and was home alone the other night. Both her family, and JJ's are up in this area, so she is pretty much on her own down there.

The other night she had to rush herself to the hospital via ambulance with SEVERE abdominal pains, and ended up delivering an 8 lb baby boy!!!!!! Yes - I can answer your question - NO, SHE DID NOT EVEN KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT!!! For those of you who saw her at the funeral - I know what you are thinking - she didn't even look pregnant at all - never mind 8 months pregnant!!!

I believe this is God's little miracle for that family!

I am in tight with her family, and trying to find out what she needs. Can you imagine leaving the hospital without any diapers, or even changes of clothes....

WOW!!

Robin

I have two boys, and a BUNCH of infant stuff that would inevitably end up in a yard sale. I will let you all know where we can provide any care packagees as soon as Robin provides me the address. Seriously though... you hear of people delivering babies in bathroom stalls because they "didn't even know they were pregnant", and every time I see that I reply "WHATEVER!". This however has me scratching my head a little bit though...

Hello Earth - this is Bob Quinn

Hi everyone in computerland!

This will be short and sweet - I just wanted to let you know I will be putting stuff up here soon.

Can't wait to see everyone at the re-onion!

More later......

Love

- Bobber
