#41 this has been my weirdo aesthetic since 1988 and I'm never giving up the teal and purple and black
or teal and pink combos I will live in them until I die
like the oldest gen X refusing to give up earthy monotone 3-4 shade gradients in their decor

#18 well, part of it being a mid-life crisis was that the car was more expensive than they could afford. And degree of crisis = how far beyond affordable it was. Otherwise it was just some guy buying a new toy.

I miss being able to do that loudly with those seats. I did the left then right twist cracks, then an arched back crack. With my mouth open as a resonant chamber, I managed to wake people up with the volume.

Around here that didn't really happen until the 00s, when they started selling paraphernalia and the sex toy section took up half the store.

Yeah, I've never seen a brightly-lit Spencer's, and I think the first one I saw was mid-late '80s. This one had me staring in confusion.

And if you flipped through the posters, you could see the Baywatch ones. You'd never actually buy one, or your parents would freak out, but you could stare at them for a while.

19 hours ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Back when Wendy's cared about the everyman. In college, I popularized what I called the poor person combo. Jr. Bacon cheeseburger for $.99, small fries for another $.99, and a water. $2.14 and you were full. And if you had a few extra bucks you could get a 5 piece nugget too for a total of $3.21 and you ate like a king. I'd put the extra bbq sauce on my burger. It was great

We had a guy come in for an eye exam yesterday who was wearing a class ring. He graduated in 2006. I have worked with literally thousands of people in that store and have never seen someone wear a class ring like it's normal. Only ever seen them on a chain before and generally not ones from 20 years ago.

I always wanted a letter jacket. Never had the money I guess. Just had to display all my patches and medals in a cardboard box in the closet

And cozy. Kinda consider pulling mine out every once in a while. Rip the patches off to fill it with modern nerdy enamel pins

I was never in any sport that would have had any sort of letter to patch onto a jacket, but graduating in 2000 my class ring came in this weird glass pyramid thing.

Still hanging in my front closet as well, and I graduated in 97.

I wish I could still get away with wearing it. Maybe it's the nostalgia goggles talking, but it was the most comfortable coat I ever remember wearing
