The Official Silliness Thread Salutes Your Yearbook and Aweful Past Trends

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.

You're silly.

What's a pooftah?

No, he's sully. But Silly is here, too.

Don't worry; it takes a while to get all the names straight. ;-)

The pooftahs are the ones who break into your home and snoop through your lingerie drawer.

Among other things.

Actually, Pooftah was the name of the dog in Cheech and Chongs' "The Corsican Brothers"......

Sully's got a panty on his head, btw.

Yeah, he's always wearing those on his head. He got them at the Abu Ghraib Gift Shop.

"Pooftah" has many meanings. It is a very complex phrase and must never be taken lightly.

British slang for a gay male. Not to be confused with fag. Slang for a cigarette.

This is from Monty Python's Flying Circus' Bruce Sketch (click for Youtube video).

A pooftah is Australian slang for someone that is homosexual. A bruce is...well you'll have to ask an Australian.

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
