Ugly 80s Sweaters That Make Me Hungry

Here, boys. When you think of me, think of fattening comfort food. I just hope that she and Jungle Safari Jill next to her were able to score a 2 for 1 deal on perms that month.

I’m feeling a bit peckish. Venison, anyone?

The following Pegasus dress is pretty fly for a white girl, but how could it possibly compare to a graphic 3/4 sleeve sweater that also teaches us dumb Americans to speak French?

88UglySweatersMaybe these sweaters were worn by French students? The models look très peeved.

Speaking of apples, check out that big screen monitor!

How about a guy in a sweater, using his Apple to get important work done?

I believe that big slit was where the floppy disk went…

Now that’s the right way to rock an apple!

Black Hawk Down, Part I

Or should I say “brown ostrich down”?

Elgin - Flowers 039

First, he was upright, pecking away at the dirt.

Elgin - Flowers 035And then he dropped to his feathery torso, like an adolescent at a 1964 Beatles concert. I thought he’d go unconscious, but nope–he kept pecking while prostrate. Oh, that’s a better title for this post: Pecking While Prostrate. 

Elgin - Flowers 036

I’ve eaten in several positions in my lifetime: sitting, walking, in a car (furiously pounding Sonic tater tots as dinner before a meeting), even eating nachos and Hot Tamale candies while rollerskating, but never while lying down on my belly, face to the ground. Perhaps he was “playing possum” to hide from a predator, but I hardly think that precious boy proves an imposing predator.

Only he knows for sure.

Elgin - Flowers 047Join us for Part II, as we learn more about this hideous-looking feathered beast.

 

Dick With A Box

Yep, it’s another yearbook picture sans caption, so we are left wondering why Dick Van Dyke (or his twin) is carrying a box of problems up the aisle.

And why are there no chairs? And what a pretty cherry dress!

Here is the other half of the picture, showing a man in a cape behind Dick, fanning him with a palm leaf. What the what??

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.
