Coots Gettin’ Rowdy Up In Here, Up In Here

This pic might cause Ned to release the squirrel, because only Heaven knows what’s got Granny so riled up. Whatever it is, the woman behind her is not keen on it continuing. Did she find the Willy Wonka golden ticket? Is that her bus pass? Perhaps it’s a not-so-silent auction or a Tupperware bidding war? Shouldn’t they all be playing bingo? And what on earth is Rose Marie doing there?

By the way, you guys–did you know Rose Marie is still alive and kicking at 90? She’s older than Dick Van Dyke! Why does he get all the press? That is not very chim chim cheree.

Lack of sleep is doing a number on me, so I have no clever comments about this picture from Galveston 1967. I just wanted to share. From the Wurlitzer jukebox to the formica, what a great glimpse into history. But do those ladies even look 21?

Boys Win This Round

And especially not this girl. 65Scottie003Glasses and braces are the least of this pack’s worries. I feel a sudden urge to chew Fruit Stripes gum.

65Scottie004Mind you, all these kids were in the SAME 9th grade class (back when 9th grade was in junior high). They had to pass each other in the halls, taking in all the beauty and attractiveness going on.

Next, we have two clearly wasted, polka-dotted, teased ladies (whose hair does not fit in frame), bookending a less-hussier girl, who probably skipped the dances.

In the next trio of girls, Cindy Nolen is the bowheaded gal having the time of her life.

65Scottie006Perhaps she was inspired by yesterday’s birthday girl?

Fun With Asphyxiation

And all this time I thought Zongola Pledge was an Namibian wood cleaner and furniture protectant…

I can’t tell if Dan has a lizard tongue or just drank grape Nehi or if the owner of this yearbook Sharpie-penned his tongue, or if he has an oral condition, but I know he’s not right. And it’s not because he could have had a V-8.

This is why I never joined a sorority; I don’t like humiliating myself for the amusement of others.

These girls couldn’t take the pressure; they resorted to spending time with a stuffed poodle.

Cheer up, gals. Even if you don’t make it into the sorority, there are always other options.
