Let's return to 1977

[Buck]

This is old, but I was just clearing some stuff out and came across it.
I wish it was still 1977.

That's awesome.

I have to have this furniture for my house.

HOLY CRAP! This looks EXACTLY like me when I was a kid! I was born in 1978, so I'm sure I didn't forget about some child modeling gig, but damn, this looks exactly like I did as a kid. This is friggin' creepy.

EDIT: I have to say, though, I never wore belts that big or my pants that high. Just wanted to clear that up.

I'm relatively certain I have vague memories of my mom and dad wearing matching outfits in 1977. I would certainly hope my brain isn't making that one up.

 

[Tom Petty]

god damn solid.

 

[Buck]

I can thankfully say my parents have never worn matching clothes.
Unfortunately, my mother did put gold velvet-and-foil wallpaper in our foyer. It was like she briefly became Italian.
I was worried she was going to start putting those plastic sheaths on the furniture.

Thanks Buck. That was funny. I was 9 in 1977. My mom dressed me in some doozy outfits. I have the pictures.

Buck, thanks a whole helluva lot for reminding me about the clothes my mother was still trying to force me to wear... in 1982.

The horror ... the horror ...

AHHH THE 70's ...
That was great. A coworker was just talking around Xmas time about the crappy gifts his teacher father used to get when he was still at school, and we both laughed when we discussed the great Avon line of decorate colognes, like this one, for example ...

His dad had the golf clubs and a couple of car versions. My dad had this one and a cowboy boot I think. Great stuff.

I'd love one of these Oscar and Cookie Monster shirts. The kid doesn't seem too thrilled by it. He looks like he's holding in a big fart.

Is that Ricky Schroeder?

That is one of the best blog posts ever. I used to LOVE going through the Penney catalogs, though I was only 1 when this one came out.

RICK!!!

I was 10 at the time. I'm pretty sure that Momma Allen was dressing me up in some of that stuff. And people wonder why I'm a little bitchy as an adult ...

 

[micropolitan guy]

That has to be Ricky Schroeder.

I was making $140 a week in 1977, and had more money left over at the end of a paycheck than I do now.

Never owned clothes quite like that. But pretty darn close.

The green shag "clothing" for the toilet was especially classy. Two words: Trailer park.

 

[RossLT]

Jesus, I wasn't even born in '77, but that **** was funny.

That Ricky Shroeder pic reminded me of another great idea that took off in the 70's -- T-shirt shops.
Remember, the ones where you would go in and they would have glossy stickers all over the walls and you would just pick your blank colored shirt and they would put it in what looked like a giant panini maker and you would get your shirt, which would do one of two things:
1. Peel off after like two washes
2. Slowly fade away and flake into nothing over 10 years so LED ZEPPLIN ended up saying ED PLIN

C'mon, who doesn't have a need for a toilet cozie? Especially a lime green one.
