ccowden 0 #1 February 2, 2006 ... to post this, but what the heck! This is a scan of an old photo I found, which would have been around July of 1988, I think, a couple months before my 15th birthday. It was taken at a local Fair, where I hooked up with the blonde hottie in the picture. Now, keep in mind, "hooking up" meant holding hands for the day, but I was still pretty damn smooth. And isn't it obvious? Check out the one piece pink jumper she is wearing, and notice the stuffed bear she is holding, which I won at one of the games like any cool guy would do for his chick. Also notice my skin tight black stonewashed jeans, set off by my light blue stonewashed Levi's jacket, sleeves rolled up just right and unbuttoned down to the last button to reveal a cool wild print T-shirt! And let's not forget the spiked up hair with what looks like....wait a minute.... could it be.... a MULLET???!! Ok, it may be a rather weak mullet, but I think it's a mullet none the less. Can you blame me for having that shit eatin grin on my face that just oozes satisfaction? Oh yeah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PsychoBob 0 #6 February 2, 2006 Talk about a "blast from the past". At least it's a jean jacket and not a "Members Only" or a satin jacket. I also had a mullet that would make Billy Ray Cyrus envious.
