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.

I think everyone went to school with her in the late 80s or early 90s.

I was lucky enough to be a child of the 80's.

Me too!

Remember when guys did this to their jeans. Not a good look. Some girls did too, but mostly guys. Wrong, on so many levels.

At least when the girls did it, we didn't get the bunching effect.

Those Golria Vanderbilts were too skin tight to bunch anywhere!

Did you say Motely Crue. My favorite 80s Crue CD:

Skid Row rocked the 80s--hard.

Monkey Business is my favorite by them; Sabastian Bach is wicked.

Considering I graduated high school a little over two years ago--much of what was in style then remains today...

"I browsed through my middle and high school yearbooks recently, while drinking cold, depreciating mugs of Pigs Eye beer"

It's a little early to do that here--but I certainly do know the feeling...8^)
