The sad thing is, I know people who could read this thread and still not know which is the real answer.Michaelson wrote:Quick lesson in 'moderating' then....at least ONE solid reply need be made in a thread giving a requested definition so the original poster does not come back later and angerily post 'I asked a serious question, and you're all just making fun of me.....'
We've had folks go ballistic when threads go this route, and it was all just meant in fun.
This way, question asked, answer given, carry on....no problem to diffuse later, and no tangled thread to unsnarl.

Yep, that's very true, Zombie. But at least half the fun now is sorting through all the answers and try and pick one you want. At least ONE of them is correct! ;-)Zombie Jones wrote:The sad thing is, I know people who could read this thread and still not know which is the real answer.Michaelson wrote:Quick lesson in 'moderating' then....at least ONE solid reply need be made in a thread giving a requested definition so the original poster does not come back later and angerily post 'I asked a serious question, and you're all just making fun of me.....'

By the way, you'll be proud to know my wife FINALLY tossed the only one I ever owned (given to me by MY Mom for Christmas back in the 70's) that was Aqua Marine blue green in color!!! I can NOT believe I've had it this long!

Yep. It wasn't even worth listing.Long John Tinfoil wrote:TOSSED IT!! No listing in the bazaar? Nothing on that auction site?
People would have been bidding for the rights to pump Pecard's out of that thing!! Just think of it - a leather jacket - Michaelson - 30+ years!!! That's enough to recondition every jacket ever pictured here!

Why not! I've seen folks dressed like that at our local Wal-Mart after midnight, so you'd fit right in around here.Minnesota Jones wrote:Yeah, I think it's time to sell my Indygear, get a Members Only Jacket, some striped Zubaz, a pair of checkered Van loafers, and grow my late 1980's mullet back.
Yeah, that's the ticket....

I can't resist a 4 year old thread- I had a black Members Only jacket in the early 80s. In my mind, I was Han Solo in ESB every time I wore it.

If you wear one long enough your blood will smell like cologne and you will never have another awkward moment...

Re: what is a member's only jacket?
I wore one just like this in the late 70s when heading out to all the dance clubs in San Diego. What were we thinking?
There's a leather one on eBay.
