If Drew's trenchcoat is unavailable you can borrow my RATT satin jacket.

I'd just use my own (custom made in Graphics Arts class) silkscreened Iron Maiden Jean jacket.

Fedora and net shirt? Did you get that at Chess King in the mall?

There was always one or two guys who would come in to my HS every Monday with the same outfit the Mannequin was wearing over the weekend

Ditka, when he coached Da' Bears, nick-named the entire team his "Grabowski's" which is (apparently) a Ditka-esque term for hard-worker.

"Mike Ditka has described the Bears affectionately as his Grabowskis because the Bears reflect the work ethic, the attitude of a city and a people who aren't afraid to work hard to get ahead and achieve a part of the American Dream for themselves and their families."

The term was then used in an attempted branding effort by the city of Chicago to burnish an image of Chicagoans as "hard working, boot straps, salt of the earth people."

This video, however, is an abomination.

Forgot...it was a net half-shirt. I ain't afraid to admit it. I was a fashion victim at an early age. Where I got the idea that this was cool, I don't know. I lived in a pretty ghetto area, that at the time seemed pretty tough, so I decided to try and stand out to ward off attacks. (worked, actually)

Think back to rap videos at the time...tough seemed to mean looking gayer, thus the net half-shirt, I guess.

My buddy worked there. Looking back, I hate what he brought upon us. And no one other than a woman or someone in the Navy should own a pair of white pants. It was tough being dead sexy back when I didn't know how to channel it as effectively as I do now.

Yes. I owned parachute pants.

I can spell autocensor. I hate "autocensor". It gives less meaning than stuff like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- or ---uvula---

JackTucky · « **Reply #20 on:** December 07, 2005, 04:47:15 pm »

Half shirt. Shudder.

The worst getup was the white fedora with pink stripe, and the pink belt. Black pants I think, and black/white checkered shirt.

heh heh.

Is that Mrc with the beer?

Drew is jealous of the size of my eddie.

Which is pretty sad since it's only about 4" tall.

However it's 3" wide.

Nothing like an 80's metal band mascot on your arm to draw the ladies. Ladies, line up on the left of me for make-outs. Men, line up on the left for high-fives.

Now that's convergence! Eddie and Atari!?

(I was seriously scared for a bit...I mixed-up a couple of threads in my head and thought you had tattoos of "Eddie Van Halen"! How bad would that be?)

Oh, no, unless EVH was some kind of demon, then he wouldn't have made the tat cut

According to diamond dave Eddie is a demon, but that is only one opinion

I was thinking the SAME THING!

I was gonna ask him if he spelled that with a CAPITAL "L" or was he just gonna go with small "l". La-hoo-sa-her

I think the guy could have done without the eddie-nipple in that tat.
