That is all I have to say about that.

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS
True fans of John Cusack immediately understood the title of this blog..... let us now salute the amazingness that is John Cusack.....
Note: I use the term "amazing" for the last time as it is now one of the banished words of 2012... read more here.
Better Off Dead
If you knew "I want my two dollars" there is no doubt you would know "long time listener, first time caller" from Grosse Pointe Blank

If you knew "I want my two dollars" there is no doubt you would know "long time listener, first time caller" from Grosse Pointe Blank
And of course I would be completely remiss not to mention what I believe is my favourite...... America's Sweethearts.... KiKi-Kikikins.....
ALWAYS TIME FOR ELPHABA
You may be wondering while I would chose to interject some Wicked into this blog..... well this blog is about John Hughes.
John Hughes = high school.
High school = heartbreaking struggles with popularity and mean girls.
Wicked is also about popularity and mean girls.
Theretofore..... I bring you a few of my favourite excerpts from the magic that is Wicked.
Defying Gravity.... aka Suck It Mean Girls
And of course.... Popular
(I break in for this rant.... I used to watch Glee.... now it makes me want to scratch my own eyes out..... however when Kristin Chenoweth appeared on the show she did not sing Popular, which she made famous as the original Glinda in Wicked.... it would have been the ideal song for her appearance.... I tweeted to her about this and she didn't tweet back..... )

THE WINGMAN
I am Libby's wingman.
She may be the Geek to our Jake Ryan - but I am the wingman to the geek.
The John Cusack character in 16 Candles. (I refuse to accept that I am the other, far far less attractive wingman.... at least John Cusack went on to make other great movies..... Better Off Dead, Grosse Pointe Blank, among them).
My bible, urbandictionary.com has a number of clever descriptions for wingman, the one most approriate in this situation is
Wingman:
A partner in crime - true friend ... that person who will always have your back, no matter what. He/She will Save you. This person is especially helpful when breaking into houses, or just going out to pick up some biddies. I don't expect that Libby and I will be breaking into any houses anytime soon..... but who knows..... BTW -- if you are not subscribing to urabndictionary.com's word of the day -- you are missing out...... |

EVERYTHING LOOKS WORSE IN BLACK AND WHITE
What's worse???
Believe me it can get worse.
How about having a nasty assed epiphany that I was/am The Geek and Parker was/is This Geek's Wing Man to OUR Jake Ryan.
This song comes to mind:
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's
a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together
for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse
in black and white.
Believe me it can get worse.

KINDA LIKE NO SANTA
What if you spent your high school years worshipping the BMOC.
What if you and your BFF even formed a fan club in his honour.
What if some 23 years later you discovered that time had not been overly kind to him?
Is that better or worse than the day yourealized there was no Santa?

GET IN THE CORNER BABY
This is Parker.
I have had some major stuff going on in my life over the last number of months.
As I have worked through it, it dawns on me that I have drawn on my usual supports...... Top Gun, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Pretty in Pink and of course..... my favourite..... Sixteen Candles.
25 years later and the 80's movies are getting me through.
However -- the one I will never ever turn to is Dirty Dancing. That is what helped me get through my very first breakup and brings back way too many memories.... Time of my Life, my ass.

What a brilliant idea... a tracker for Jake Ryan.
Once again I am jealous of your relationship with our Jake Ryan..... the Lacoste King who brought us together.....

TRACKING SANTA
So here it is Christmas Day and what a lovely day it has been.
Last night, Christmas Eve, while tracking Santa's flight I had a thought:
In 2011 we can track Santa's every stop, on his busiest night, and yet we can not find Michael Schoeffling?
This blog is dedicated to Jake Ryan thee quintessential Mr. Perfect.
If Michael Schoeffling had a NORAD tracker on him, imagine how many people would view it....something worthy of $$$ shares invested.
If you've been reading this blog then you know that Parker and I have our own Jake Ryan.
Our Jake Ryan has been equally as elusive for the past 20 odd years.
Believe it or not, just moments ago and right out of the blue, OUR Jake Ryan contacted me.
T'is a magical Season :)

WINTER 1984
It's almost Christmas.
Every single Christmas, since 1984, when I hear Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas, I think of my good friend Parker Young.
I just heard it today and was transported back to 1984 again.
It's funny how one memory can trigger another and thankfully these are some of my all time favourite memories.
When I hear Band Aid, I think of Parker and then I think of this SONG.
Every Saturday morning, during the winter of 1984, my alarm clock woke me with that song.
Parker and I spent those Saturday's freezing on the ski hill.
We were awful skiers, terrible at listening to the instructors and never really mastered the timing to get on the chair lift.
Much to our instructors frustration, our only goal was to look cool standing around on our skis.
It was on that ski hill that we first met "our" The Geek.
If I made a Parker & Libby Soundtrack for the winter of 1984, THAT song would be the first on the album (did I say album? HA)
Merry Christmas Parker Young, make a wish....I have a feeling it's well on it's way to becoming true.

PRETTY IN PINK
I have to agree with Lainey Gossip on the subject of Sateen.

Katy Perry IS perfection...so...if she has bumps and wrinkles in Pink Sateen...then God help the rest of us!
Parker probably works out.
Parker can wear Pink Sateen with matching dyed Pink Satin pumps.
I suspect this because I saw her wearing lululemons and she looked great.
I do not own yoga pants and for good reason.
I can wear Sateen too...for like 15 minutes...until I get so caught up in conversation that I forget to keep my stomach sucked in.
IMO Sateen is just asking for those "OMFG I looked gross" party photos, something I do not need any more of in my life.

TO MY DEAR FRIEND
It ALL works out in the end.
If it hasn't worked out yet, it is not the end.
Keep the faith and believe in yourself.
You'll be surprised at what great things the future can open up for you.
Remember:
It worked out in the end for Jake and Samantha.
It worked out in the end for Duckie.
It worked out in the end for Long Duk Dong.
It worked out in the end for The Breakfast Club.
Trust me and trust in them, as they have never let us down :)
I know all of this for certain.
It worked out in the end for ME and Wyatt.

GIVE ME THE MUSIC...EVERYBODY PANTS DOWN
Didn't I post something about Justin's Mother losing these kinds of silly pants in the laundry?
I am sure I did, waaaay back, at the very start of this entire blog.
Maybe I was suggesting that his Mother should lose his pants in the laundry?
Sneaky, sneaky boy found another pair AND wore them to a wedding.
Can girls do this too?
My nephew does this with his pants, always has.
It's levitation.
I would like to try this with my pants - seriously - just to see how well I fair. I promise will try this as soon as the Geek returns my panties cuz otherwise that would be soooo Lindsay Lohan.
HEY, didnt I blog about that too?

EIGHT IS ENOUGH
To Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Jon and Kate and The Octomom,
I was raised to believe that Eight Is Enough.
Where were you?

Eight is Enough was one of the best shows from the late 1970's and early 1980's.
It was considered a dramedy and was the story of a family with Eight kids.
It had drama because the show could be serious at times but it also had comedy because the show was funny and it had a laugh track.
I'd bet money that not one single member of your litters will grow up to be as adorable as Willie Aames.

The Brady's knew better and stopped at Six kids.
The Brady Bunch could be considered a family of Nine.
Six kids, two parents PLUS Alice.
So, the big and the small of this post is to tell you freaks to GET OFF MY TV.
All you have is a laugh track, always will and no Willie Aames.
Seriously,
Libby

SINGERS WHO HOPEFULLY GOT COAL IN THEIR STOCKINGS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Bryan Adams
WHAM (I always make a cat hissing noise with claws after "I'll give it to someone special.")
Paul McCartney (I can't reinforce this enough).
Mariah Carey
My personal list of GREAT Christmas songs:
The Pogues (I give an A+ to this one because my boy Matt Dillon does a cameo in the video).
BAND AID
Sarah McLachlan (Sung by a great Canadian, written by another great Canadian Gordon Lightfoot. This is my all time favorite. Makes me cry and gives me shivers regardless of which one sings it).

WHAT DO YOU CALL A DOG WITH WINGS?
The WORST Christmas "song" EVER is THIS.
Tell me how the man behind songs like:
My Love
Band On The Run
Hey Jude
Could put out that God awful Christmas song?
Answer to both questions: Linda Eastman.

SHE'S GONE, SHE'S A RICH GIRL, SHE'S A MANEATER...
While looking up THEE most horrible Christmas video ever,
I came across some quality gems I need to share, from this same magnificent Duo of Rock n'Roll.
First let me tell you, that IMO this Jingle Bell Rock video is soooo pathetic that it is good.
If you know anything about the outstanding song writing talents, musicianship and awesome vocals shared by this Hall and Oats, then, like me, you'd chalk this stinko up to 80's humour.
Let's take it from the top:
1973 Contrary to all the jokes made at John Oats' expense, this song is one example of where John Oats shows his amazing vocals.
Daryl Hall has the Ziggy Stardust eyebrows (or lack there of) but this song is one of the finest ever written/performed, just not here.
1980's This is just one of my personal fav's from the many mega hits Hall and Oats gave us during the 80's.
By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the NUMBER-ONE SELLING DUO in music history, a record they still hold today.
1988 This one is a Live version of the song Daryl wrote for Paul Young....the song that became Paul Young's signature. I am adding it because both Daryl and John look like they are flying as high as can be and yet STILL can pull of this performance.
2007 Last but not least, the Gem of all Gem's that I discovered today: http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/
Did you know that Daryl Hall never warms up his vocals cords before a performance...he just steps on stage and out comes that voice - Oooo That Voice :)
So Parker can keep her Billy Idol.
I am going to Daryl Hall's house for Christmas and forever after, as soon as I find out his address.

FULL HOUSE - FULL THIS!
We couldn't escape John Stamos acting like a complete tool along side Bob Saget, who was and still is a dink.
The world was forced to watch those Michelle twins grow up and become ka-billionaires (they reminded me of those bulgy eyed troll pencils).
NOW, as I look for Howard Jones 80's videos, that God awful TV show Full House strikes again.
Since when did Howard Jones look like that idiot from Full House?

I dont even know the guy's name, nor his character's name on the show but he was the loser who thought he was Popeye.
YUCK
Hey....and wasnt he the creep Alanis wrote "You Oughta Know" about!!!

NEVER AGAIN
Before we move on to more pleasant topics, I must confess, my clubbing was a shit show.
3 long days later and I have finally crawled out from under the hangover rock.
From all reports, my drunken behaviour was humorous to others...go figure.
I would have done so much better, had I gone to the Billy Idol Christmas Party I wanted to host.
My only saving grace; I didn't speak in a Cockney Accent.

BILLY IDOL, INCASE YOU ARE READING OUR BLOG....
Dear Billy Idol,
In case you are reading our blog today, I've taken steps to translate my earlier post in to something you can read.
Obviously I love you slightly more then Parker (actually, probably not.);
BILLY IDOL DOESN'T USE MISTLETOE
Parker asked "White Christmas or White Weddin'?" and I am answering:
Today, at this moment, I would Scapa Fla wif White Christmas over White Weddin'.
I 'eaven and 'ell loike this grahn up Billy Idol.
He's very swanky, 'is aged sneer makes us Orange Peel loike the bloomin' jokes on someone else And
Christmas Billy looks loike 'e may scoot ya past the chuffin' mistletoe and slip it ter ya behind the bleedin' tree ;)
I wouldnt 'ate christmas parties if Billy Idol was there,
I also wouldn't wear underwear....
In fact, I'd thra me Jack Jones Christmas Moriarty if Billy would join us.
Happy Birthday Billy Idol

IN MY DREAMS BILLY IDOL DOESN'T USE MISTLETOE
Parker asked "White Christmas or White Wedding?" and I am answering:
Today, at this moment, I would go with White Christmas over White Wedding.
I REALLY like this grown up Billy Idol.
He's very swanky, his aged sneer makes us feel like the jokes on someone else
AND
Christmas Billy looks like he may scoot you past the mistletoe and slip it to you behind the tree ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY IDOL
I wouldnt hate Christmas parties if Billy Idol was there,
I also wouldn't wear underwear....
In fact, I'd throw my own Christmas party if Billy would join us.HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY IDOL
WHO'D YA RATHER?
White Christmas or White Wedding?
I personally like to think the whole White Christmas thing was because he was desperate for money or lost a bet. There can be no other explanation. However the sneer still, all these years later, turns me into jello.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FIRST LOVE
On the floors of Tokyo (pronounced Toe-ke-oh-oh)
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself
It's 1983.
I am 14 years old.
I am wearing skin tight VISA jeans and a pair of Nikes with the tongues out.
I am in the last row at the Civic Centre.
There he is.
He's in leather.
He is barechested.
He is dancing on the speakers.
He is making the "dancing with himself movements".
I am in love.
This was the kickoff of a love affair that continues today.
Me + Billy Idol.
Today is is his birthday.
Happy Birthday Billy.
Make wish. It's already come true.
Parker

THE GLORIOUS MUNDANE
IMO there is no bigger compliment than being told that I've made someone laugh by turning the mundane in to something hilarious.
Thank you Parker :)
Here's a brief list of those who have made me smile by twisting the mundane:
Parker Young
Regis Philbin
Carrie Bradshaw
John Hughes
Jon Cryer
Tom Robbins
Robin Williams
Brooke Shields (although totally unintentionally and unbenounced to her)
John McEnroe
Ozzie Osbourne
Rocky Balboa
My Mother :)

3 BLOW JOB SHOOTERS PLEASE.
Libby and I have been friends for a long time.
One thing that Libby does better than most people in my life is make me laugh. She has a wicked dry sense of humour and makes the most mundane things hilarious to me.
This morning Libby informs me that she is going clubbing.
Being in my 40's I wondered what she would make from the fur.... then I realized that by clubbing she meant going out to a club, not hunting baby seals.
I guarantee that when Libby goes clubbing, if she can stay up past 10pm, she will be partaking in a number of shooters from our past.... sex on the beach, orgasms, bleeding brains and of course.... blow jobs with whipped cream.
I miss the 80's.

MEN WITHOUT QUICHE.
In the 80's real men didnt eat Quiche.
Wok With Yan and Bruno Gerussi of Celebrity Cooks did a lot to bring men in to the kitchen to do more then eat but they did not promote Quiche.



Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, by American Bruce Feirstein, is a bestselling tongue-in-cheek book satirizing the stereotypes of masculinity, published in 1982.
The book was on the New York Times Best Seller list for 55 weeks, and sold over 1.6 million copies.
2011, a different image regarding men in our kitchen's has been promoted and naturally Quiche cooked and served up by one of these two men, would be devine!
You can Take Home Curtis and Jamie is the Naked one - W00T!

Oh ya, these guys call Quiche Tarts :)

SUCK IT TWILIGHT
You will NEVER match the magic of these two endings......... (apologies for the quality of the videos..... however that shouldn't matter because you should already be bawling.....)
WHAT ABOUT PROM?
The three little words that can bring me to tears.
What about prom?
Pretty in Pink is on.... I am left to wonder, even though I have watched it a million times why I am still attracted to Steph?????
I leave you with this.....

A SHOUT OUT TO OUR GIRL DEMI
YAY Demi Moore!
Hallelujah, she's seen the light and is in the midst of kicking that hunky baby cakes Kutcher
TO. THE. CURB.

You may have asked yourself; "WWJRD?"
The answer is: Jake Ryan would have loaded up Ashton in to his father's Rolls Royce and handed the Geek the keys.
In the end, all those Ashton rumours (not Demi's daughter) turned out to be true.
He was moonlighting on their marriage.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE 1980'S
Everyday I receive chain emails from friends.
These are lists of words of wisdom, pleasant thoughts, reminders of gratitude that we are encouraged to pay it forward.
The lists inspire the email recipient to appreciate the simple every day wonders, the things that really matter in the big picture of life.
Today I thought: "How would an 80's list read?"
Well here's what I think;
1) RELAX...DONT DO IT.
2) “Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.” — John Bender. The Breakfast Club
3) Phone Home.
4) Choose Life.
5) “If you start out depressed everything’s kind of a pleasant surprise.” — Lloyd Dobbler. Say Anything
6) “Nerds, jocks. My side, your side. It’s all bullshit. Its hard enough just trying to be yourself.” — Ronald Miller. Can’t Buy Me Love
7) “People on ‘ludes should not drive!” Jeff Spicolli. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
8) Save Ferris.
9) “Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It’s bad for your complexion.” Randy. Sixteen Candles
10)“Everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. Have a point. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!” — Neal. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
11) “Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
12) Party like it's 1999.

THERE ARE THREE SIDES TO A TRIANGLE
``Bizarre Love Triangle'' is a 1986 single by the English post-punk dance band New Order.
New Order was once Joy Division (another disturbing name for a band (PS: I hate that)....see our post about Spandau Ballet).
Bizarre Love Triangle is considered New Order's most defining hit.
Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 201 in their 2004 ranking of the ``500 Greatest Songs of All Time.''
BOTH Parker and I have loved Jake Ryan since the release of Sixteen Candles.
I'd say we share in a Bizarre Love Triangle....
This song is for YOU ~ Jake Ryan ~ from US :)

"Bizarre Love Triangle"
Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows

MODERN LOVE
I find it so strange, with all the technology we have today, twitter, the Internet and TMZ, NO ONE has uncovered any "further" information on Michael Schoeffling's whereabouts.
We know he is a Furniture Maker in Northeastern Pennsylvania with a wife & two kids and that's it.
No present day photos, no helicopter views of his house, no neighbours leaking info to The Enquirer.
In the 80's Jake Ryan was tracked down with a simple note.

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM - REMEMBRANCE DAY Nov 11th.
LEST WE FORGET
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

JAKE RYAN - THE MAN THE MYTH
I am just going to go out on a limb, going ahead and throwing this out there to the Universe.
Call it "Manifesting", call it "Secret-ing", call it "Field Of Dreams" IE: Build It and They will come....
Don't care what you call it but can someone PLEASE have Jake Ryan...Michael Schoeffling call US.
Parker and I will purchase furniture from this Northeastern Pennsylvania Furniture God if that's the angle we need to take.
Call me crazy but I can't see the Amish appreciating you like we do.
It's been a couple of DECADES since our unrequited love affair(s) started.
Are you concerned because you've misplaced our panties?
No worries Jake, who are we kidding, that pair wont fit these 40+year old asses anymore.
We'll go buy new ones.
Whatever it takes, we remain committed.
Libby XO

When manifesting it is important to have a clear picture, in your minds eye, of what you want.
So THIS is Michael Schoeffling reading our letter...VISUALIZE, VISUALIZE.

CROCODILE ROCK
Have you ever wondered how that little green Crocodile landed on a tennis shirt and became THEE symbol of Preppy?

Glad you asked;
Glad you asked;
Jean René Lacoste (1904–1996) was famous for his considerable achievements in two very different arenas. Not only was he once ranked the world's top tennis player, but he designed a novel new tennis shirt that became the cornerstone of a world famous fashion empire. Lacoste, nicknamed "le Crocodile" on the courts, is remembered today primarily for the reptilian logo on his ubiquitous sportswear. Fashion historians believe the crocodile emblem (widely referred to as an alligator) was the first instance of a designer logo to appear on a garment.
1920s Tennis Star

Born into a wealthy Parisian family on July 2, 1904, Lacoste did not play his first game of tennis until he was 15 years old. According to the Tennis Hall of Fame, he was not a natural at tennis—it was his drive, discipline, and strategic intelligence that turned him into a tennis phenomenon. No doubt his father's ultimatum also had something to do with his success: Pere Lacoste agreed to let René to pursue his chosen career path—provided he became a world champion player within five years!
Lacoste later explained the origin of his nickname, "le Crocodile:"
The American press nicknamed me 'the Crocodile' after a bet that I made with the Captain of the French Davis Cup team. He had promised me a crocodile-skin suitcase if I won a match that was important for our team. The American public stuck to this nickname, which highlighted my tenacity on the tennis courts, never giving up my prey! So my friend Robert George drew me a crocodile which was embroidered on the blazer that I wore on the courts.

17) I'm all out of hope. One more bad dream could bring a fall. When I'm far from home. Don't call me on the phone...

19) We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty...
