the A Team 1980's series


The A-Team is an American action-adventure television series about a fictional group of ex-United States Army Special Forces personnel who work as soldiers of fortune, while on the run from the Army after being branded as war criminals for a "crime they didn't commit"


But of course, the people playing the parts of Hannibal, Faceman, Howling Mad and Bad Attitude aren't the same ones who graced TV screens in the 1980s. Even the A-team can't escape getting older, and a new crop of actors has been brought in to get the job done. This time, they're united by their shared status as Iraq war veterans.

Pity the fool who gets in Bad Attitude's way. Mr. T

Levi's 501 Pre-Shrunk Jeans


Levi Strauss is popularly credited with inventing jeans, but jeans and denim originate much earlier, in Europe. The term "jeans" may well be derived from "Genoese", a blue fustian fabric worn by Italian sailors. It was imported into Britain during the 16th century, and fustian is referred to in English literature by Thomas Hardy (in The Mayor of Casterbridge) and Charles Dickens (in The Pickwick Papers).

Sperry Top Sider was the in thing in the 1980's

Sperry was an avid boater who, like most boaters, risked injury while walking on the slippery deck of his boat. His successful design was inspired by his cocker spaniel, Prince. While watching Prince run across the ice on a winter's day in Connecticut, he noticed his dog's amazing ability to maintain traction on the slippery surface. The pattern of grooves or cracks on his dog's feet gave him the idea for a leather upper-shoe with a herringbone pattern of grooves on the sole


Octopus Game and Watch


The Game & Watch series are a total of 60 handheld video games that were released between 1980 and 1991. The games were released a year before Donkey Kong, three years before the Famicom, and a whopping nine years before the Game Boy was released. While not Nintendo's initial entry into the video game market, it was one of their most successful products in the early 80's. After Nintendo started to develop popular series such as Donkey Kong,Mario and The Legend of Zelda, they constructed games based on these titles, and even made games that starred popular characters such as Mickey Mouse and Snoopy. The idea of the Game & Watch was conceived by Gunpei Yokoi.
