...then maybe you will be as jealous as I am right now.

NN is working today, on his way to Beijing. Mary Lou Retton is on his plane!! Aghhghghgh!

I never ever gush over these celeb types, but she was my ultimate girl-hood hero. I told him that he has to chat her up and tell her that.

Think he can get an autograph for you?

(Is NN the captain of the plane or the copilot?)

I doubt he will...he knows I don't go for autographs. Usually. I'd love her's!

He is a first officer, and is working this flight as one of the IRO's (international relief officer).

Some deal she promoted not long after the '84 Olympics that was supposed to get kids out to the bowling alleys on Saturday mornings (I can't even remember what big time bowling association sponsored it)... I guess as opposed to the back alleys and hanging out with the other future street hooligans...

I already bowled on a Saturday morning league when I was a kid, so I didn't get any of the cheesy stickers or pizza they had....

Hey, I remember those commercials. She was wearing a stars and stripes jacket and a big cheesy ass grin, right? (Yes, I realize that doesn't narrow it down much. Ha!)

Was Nadia Comaneci on the plane, then I'd be impressed.

Great to see you join our site, Otto. I enjoyed your work in "Airplane!"

I'm glad someone else remembers, because I can't even get any hits for it on Google. All that come sup is Super Bowl stuff.....

I'm sure she had the SSS jacket and big grin, but I can still hear her saying "Well wait till you see what's happening on Super Bowling Saturday" like it was yesterday....

I don't remember it being called Super Bowling Saturday, just a generic pitch for the All American Sport of Bowling. "When was the last time you went bowling?" or something like that.

Two of us might not be enough, we might have to have a quorum. Because, as HD says, if you can't find it on the internet, it never happened. I wonder if she had a box of Little Traveler tissues tucked in the pocket of her S&S jacket?

I remember my best friend had a SBS sticker stuck on the wall of his room back in the day. Maybe I oughta go over to the house he grew up in and see if it's still there.....

But if SBS was wiped out of existence by the passage of time, then the sticker probably turned into anti-matter sometime during the 90's....

They probably had several different campaigns and you saw the one targeted to the junior league candidates whereas I saw the adult "go blow your money on lines and beer tonight instead of going to the bar" ones.

When I think of beer frames and R rated bowling shirts, I always think of MLR....

Is the airplane pink? I hope he has better luck getting to Beijing than on his trip to Memphis.

Not sure a website called "Neurotic Fish Bowl" is the most reliable source but see item #23.

I've been to Trinidad! But I'm usually just passing through. I used to work with a bailiff who had been a nurse at "the" hospital in Trinidad. He explained the addadictomy procedure to me, complete with drawings. It's pretty intense.

I was going to remark earlier on lb being the main poster in the "young girl in the 80's" thread. Ha!

No, but I'm researching a cousin named Trinidad right now.

When our flight was delayed from Ottawa we missed our Phoenix connection and had to overnight in Newark. When we were taking the shuttle from the Fairfirld Inn we chatted with an officer and flight attendant who were working the flight to Beijing leaing Newark yesterday at noon

23. I once appeared in a commercial with Mary Lou Retton for "Super Bowling Saturday."

Woohoo! Thanks for finding the confirmation, Tan!

Now get working on finding those Little Travellers Kleenex boxes for Fanny before she goes crazy.....

I grew up with 4 sisters in the 80's, so I'm an unlikely leading authority on girls stuff from the 80's. I know quite a bit about the Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, and let's not forget Jem who's truly outrageous....

And our overnight support manager at work moved down to "Trin" (We like shortening words on the o/n crew) with her husband who is from the island back in April. She has already discovered that the life is not for her and is moving back here now without her husband this time.....
