I think I've always had a thing for men with boyish good looks.

I was too young to be a fan during their hey day too. I fell inlove in '93... they stole my heart away from New Kids on the Block lol

New Kids were also on my crush list (Joey to be more specific). Having crushes like these were something I thought I'd magically outgrow when I became an "
adult"
-- but no, that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Oh well, I like my Bret crush.

Irene is probably right but I would still like to hope it could be Duran Duran.

I'll go ahead and admit it - I am old enough to have been a fan during their heyday.
I used to have a huge pin/button attached to my bookbag or jacket with John Taylor's face on it. It was seriously the size of a small pizza.
I can't imagine how much more obsessive I would've been had the internet been around then - I would've flunked out of 7th grade.

*hobbles away on cane to apply more Ben-Gay and chase some whippersnappers off the lawn*



Uh yeah, the episode - isn't this the one where Bret wears a kilt?

Also, i am almost positive the video (not necessarily the genre of music) is a spoof of the music video to "
Eclipse of the heart"
by Bonnie Tyler.

I can't remember which interview but it was a recent one, and I remember James talking about the music video in an interview and how ridiculous and nonsensical it was.

It has to be it

i freakin LOVE this damn song... but i am totally freaked out by scary floating glowing eyeball private school boys... ACK!!

i LOVE the random ninjas, football players, and fencers in this video - i really really hope they're spoofing it - it's completely insane... AND I LOVE IT! " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/>

it truly is the best of 80's randomness - thanks Irene for posting it.

*sigh* the 80s. oh - and enough of this old convo people!!! there are those of us here who really ARE old *reaches for fiber drink*

Seriously, I would have flunked out of school too. I didn't start using the internet until college (gasp!) and I spent many an hour in the computer lab there looking up things that had nothing to do with school. That was during my Blur obsession.

Oooh.. I hope this is the Bret in a kilt episode.

It looks like they're wearing the fake mustaches with their fencing outfits. I thought the mustaches were just for that article written about Movember.

Maybe that experience just convinced them that fake mustaches are a necessary part of fencing.

it cud explain why bret had the sword in his hand for that movember thing.

Jazzercise?

I'm going to be so sad when the episodes are done. I'm enjoying this so much.

My uncle used to be a Jazzercise instructor!

....which is how he met my aunt.

Would Bret doing Jazzercise not = Bret shirtless??????????

Just changed the title of this thread since it looks like the official episode title is 'Love is a Weapon of Choice':

Well, it should at least mean tight, slutty clothes!!

haha, thanks! Actually, Sara has it mentioned in the first post, and I saw it at the end of a recent article too...I bet the rest of the episode titles will be like this since they're very generic right now.

From 1982, which is the exact era my uncle was an instructor.

Yeah, I figured what it was... I feel like a tard now because I was actually thinking of Aquacise.

Oh what it would have been like for Bret to partake in Aquacise classes..........
