Jonesing for your fix of old school this week? You’ll remember where I posted earlier about BK coming out with a new line of shoes and bringing back revamps of the old styles. Here’s some commercials from back in the day, which was a Wednesday according to comedian Dane Cook:

You can never go wrong with buying a woman shoes. She’ll know you tried, even if she doesn’t like them. It’s a thoughtful gift, and what’s better is she’ll have to wear them at least once even if they’re completely off from her particular style. Just make sure you get the right size, and that it’s not a style of shoe she’s already told you makes her feet hurt / are uncomfortable.
Check out www.infinityshoes.com for seychelles shoes, minnetonka boots, tsubo shoes and lots of other choices, designs, and styles. I don’t pretend to know what those words mean, but women who know shoes know what they mean. And that’s why you, as a son, brother, father, husband, etc. should DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you buy shoes. Drop hints or spy on the mother in your life to figure out exactly what kind of shoe she likes.
Here’s a hint though: if she already has tons of one style of shoe - buy her something different. That different pair will hold a special place in her heart, forever and always.
Your mom gave birth to you - she carried you for nine months and then spewed you forth from her loins in an icky, vile mess. And then you gave her a hard time by crying and keeping her and your father awake at night, and pooping in your diaper, and not wanting to eat your vegetables or go to school, or staying out too late as a teenager, or not remembering to call her once in a while after you moved out on your own. Get her some shoes, she deserves it.

The shoes that every kid used to nag his parents over when I was a child, British Knights (or BK) were discontinued, sometime shortly after the likes of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice put down the microphone in the ’90s. I don’t know the exact date or time, but they seemed to fade out in the background, like so many stars of the ’80s and ’90s.
Recently, I’ve heard that the New Kids on the Block are reuniting, most likely under the moniker “The Block” since they’re obviously not kids anymore. Some of the fan favorites will still be performed, like staple “The Right Stuff,” while several members are working on new material.
What is it with the ’90s coming back? I realize it was cool and trendy to throw back to the ’70s, and we recently have had plenty of ’80s throw-back movies and trends. I guess the college kids and high school kids that are in school now were born in the ’90s or late ’80s, so they feel a closer bond to that time period.
Kylara really loves the ’80s, she was born near the middle of the decade. I have a closer affinity for the ’70s, even though I was born in the early ’80s. (Yes, I realize a lot of you will read this and go, wow, RT, you’re just a youngin’.)
What decade do you relate to the most? Is it the decade from your childhood, from your teenage years, or later on on life? Share your thoughts in the comments.
