Master Of The 80s Trivia

I'm not sure that I'd agree with the "master" designation of 80s trivia, but I do know quite a bit. Too much in fact. Still, I'm not even sure how I won this 80s trivia contest sponsored by Phungo. I thought for sure that I was beat, but it was all in the points system. If this were set up like a regular run of the mill trivia game, I probably would have lost, but I have a feeling I just squeaked by a player slightly more knowledgeable than I.

I thought I had no chance. I wasn't fooling anyone. The next screw that fell out would be me. By winning, I was probably breaking like 30 major laws here. It's time to pay the fiddler...

Honestly, I had forgotten about the contest, when I got a reminder for my address. Then it all came back to me, like a radical neon pink hypercolor t-shirt. I had won a contest concerning John Hughes movies, which are some of my favorite 80s guilty pleasures. I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind. You know who I am? In the field of local-live-home entertainment, I'm a god! This is not true. It can't be. This has got to be the most hilarious rumor ever floated. Right? Well, somebody better explain, or there'll, uh... there'll be a lot of explaining to do.

Don't let me stand in your way, please don't let me stand in your way. The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth... You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowderhead that doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut... If you catch me running off with my mouth, just give me a poke on the chubbs...

And in the end, I realized that I took more than I gave, I was trusted more than I trusted, and I was loved more than I loved. And what I was looking for was not to be found but to be made. No, I don't want to go over the list! OK, let's go over the list.
