I was listening to my LastFM station today, whatever one that pulls tracks I’ve already listened to from my library, and “Chemical World” by Blur happened to come on. (”had to sit down and have some sugary tea” <– that line gets me every time). The player was streaming uploaded pictures of the band, and this one made me do a spit-take:
“Oh my God,” I said, to no one, since I was alone. “I had this picture in my locker!”
Yes. This image, printed on my parents’ bubble jet color printer, graced the metal doorframe of my eighth grade locker. It got me thinking…what other studly men had this honor?
Of course, back in the DAY, there was JTT.
Joey Lawrence, maybe?
Definitely Zach Morris.
Wait…was I too old to have these dudes on my locker? Maybe these were just posters. I don’t know. This got embarrassing all of a sudden.
My late-nineties locker was probably just wallpapered with this guy, as I was obsessed:
GLY-CER-EEEENNN!
Who was on YOUR locker door? I’m curious! Post em in the comments.

I had the EXACT Joey Lawrence and Zach Morris posters, along with many’a Gavin and JTT. In fact, I remember very clearly going to that skeevy bookstore in North Kent Mall with you and your mom and she BOUGHT us the BEHIND THE SCENES ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED TO KNOW Saved by the Bell BOOK! Complete with CAST POSTERS! BEST MOM EVER! A.C. Slater got nightly talks from me letting him know he would be mine as soon as I was in high school and he came across me while touring Belmont Michigan. I also distinctly remember my Joey Lawrence cassette tape shredding in my tape player and HYSTERICALLY telling my dad he needed to run out and get me a new one. I was….awesome.

I had some Yellow Submarine magnets. The Chief Blue Meanie, Jeremy Hilary Boob Ph.D., The Beatles, the Yellow Submarine, and the Dreadful Flying Glove. I wasn’t too popular in school, needless to say.

It’s known that cash makes people free. But how to act if somebody does not have money? The only one way is to try to get the home loans or just short term loan.
