I browsed through my middle and high school yearbooks recently, while drinking cold, depreciating mugs of Pigs Eye beer. Taking care not to drip the dying slags of falling frost upon the aged pages, I wrestled with an obvious truth concerning yearbook nostalgia: We look silly. We act silly. We have silly sayings we believe are cool. We rely upon certain people to be the "in crowd" while others more substantial fade into the background. We have silly hair styles and clothing. We spent money on toys, games, and music that quickly goes out of style. We even made David Soul and Kajagoogoo pop music phenoms.

And that my fellow FReepers and lurkers is just plain SILLY and that's a jolly good excuse to post old photos, songs you love/hate, dances you did/didn't do, clothes you wore/took off, and/or your normal misgivings about all things involving the presidency of Jimmy Carter.

Look closely at the high school yearbook picture from Freehold, NJ. There's a skinny dude by the name of B. Springsteen. (Yeah Jersey, I know you dislike him but I haven't found any Skid Row/Smithereen/White Lion/Bon Jovi/Spin Doctor pictures yet)

Motley Crue looked gay, no doubt...but not POISON gay. So they were oddly cool.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Truth in Advertising?

A sex line caller complained to Trading Standards that after dialing an 0891 number from an advertisement entitled 'Hear Me Moan' the caller was played a tape of a woman nagging her husband for failing to do jobs around the house.

Consumer Watchdogs in Dorset refused to look into the complaint, saying, 'He got what he deserved.'

I like Poison. I don't LOVE them, but I can appreciate them from time to time.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Ratt, man, and Winger. Rock on!

Ouch.

It'd be 'perfect' if someone in the audio said "Wow Man, like, that really bites man."

And who could ever forget Englands' greatest contribution to American society.....Monty Python!!!

I led the hymn last week. Remember...the one about the turkey, the doorknob and the fireplace? It's Bruce Watery Tarts's turn to lead the hymn this week.
