    In any event, I'm sure it was glorious!

    It was not just you. It hit my ghetto part of Pennsylvania, but around 1989 and with a variation of colored bike shorts as well. I was too fat of a kid to pull off the look, but one of my friends had a pair with the jack Nicholson joker on them. Like yours , it lasted just under six months. Except my buddy with the joker...he rocked those for way too long.

    Remember painter's pats/caps and neon K-Way jackets here in Canuckistan in the 80s?

    What, this 'fashion' plague found its way across the border to the States?

    I assumed it was isolated to remote pockets in far-flung reaches of Canuckistan.

    That's it, we need another wall.

    I'm voting Trump.

    These were a thing in the 70s. Don't ask me how I know:

    This decade's man bun will not be fondly looked upon in decades to come.

    And I get the decade confused (80s/90s), but the linebacker shoulder pads for women's suits were pretty awful.

    Girls at my high school got into wearing guys boxer shorts as shorts. They had their own underwear underneath, but still.

    And lest we forget and repeat our mistakes, 1970s coaches shorts:

    Forehead horn implants and ear lobe expanders are two today I don't know will age well.

    Maybe, I suppose, if that's going to be the road you're on the rest of the way.

    Prom dresses in the 70s.

    Still makes my wife mad.

    I think she burned all our pictures. I had on a FABULOUS baby blue tux in one. Really picked up my eyes. Think Paul Newman!

    Quite a contrast to go to parent pictures the last few years for our kids before their dances..

    Egads. To my eternal shame, there are some pics floating around out there of me wearing exactly these Bike shorts in the early 80s.
