The punky QB, known as McMahon

When the Chicago Bears won the Superbowl back in the 80's, it rocked Chicago. In fact, it rocked my 9-year old birthday party.  I don't know who came up with the idea (maybe me, probably Abby Cucci), but all my friends were invited over for a lip sync party.  Everyone was asked to dress as their favorite rockstar, prepared to perform a song in front of my fireplace (think big hair, banana clips, Bananarama).  Most of us looked like various versions of Madonna or Cyndi, but not Jeanne Gorey.  I can't remember if she didn't get the message and forgot to show up with crimped hair and blue eyeshadow, or if she had a brilliant sense of independence that transcended the rest of our glued and herded grammar girl mentalities...  Knowing cool Jeanne, who now lives in Australia with her husband and 2 kids, the latter applies.  Regardless, the punky QB known as McMahon took the stage in #9 with her hair greased back in Vaseline and rocked my vinyl track of the Superbowl Shuffle, compliments of a McDonald's Happy Meal.  She motivated the cats and won the prize that day, and I hope she's geared up for the big game today struttin' her stuff down under.  


Having Bears on the brain as they face off today with the "Packagers" (my 6-year old's name for the Green Bay Packers, HA!), here's the link to the lyrics of the Superbowl Shuffle-- I think it's one of the funniest things I've ever read in my entire life.   http://www.metrolyrics.com/super-bowl-shuffle-lyrics-1985-chicago-bears.html
