Grade 8: Rubik's Cube... my best time was 53 seconds. Yes, I was a nerd.

Grades 10 - 12: Really big hair, at least on the girls.

Big hair on some of the guys too... they were called "shrubs" back then, at least at my school.

Why would you want your hair to look like a bottom from behind?

The more it looked like a Duck's Ass (hence, the name "DA"), the better it was.

7th to 8th grade roller skating was huge. Every Friday night dad would give me my 5.00 allowance and drop me off at fireside roller rink at 7pm and pick me up at 11pm. It was a VERY big deal. Friends would all meet there and we would skate all night and play Pacman on arcade.

Also remember atari was huge and all my friends had one. Dad came home with Intellivision...not as cool at all

HS was all about aqua net big hair and pinstripe tight jeans

It was considered one of the sharpest cars made when it came out in '53. I didn't get my used one until '62.

This is the only other sharp car I've owned. I bought this about a year before I got married the first time.

Not at all.

Those suckers were big enough to to catch enough wind as you walked.

They weren't called "parachute pants" for nothing.

I wish men's hats would come back. Think the "brat pack" Frank Sinatra or Mr. Drapper from madmen. SWOON!!!!!
