Hey M - I went to high school in the 70’s and wore all that apparel. You should see my homecoming picture. We’re just having a little fun with it now.

Hate to tell you this, but dressing like that was NOT the way to “get your ass kicked” in HS in the 70s. First off, any HS kid who ever had occasion to “dress up” (for a date, prom, night-life or whatever) dressed that way. Second, no one “dressed up” for everyday HS purposes, then as now. The standard uniform of jeans + shirt for guys & gals was in effect. You WOULD get your ass kicked for dressing in ways that we now think of as “cool” — e.g. wearing all black, or “retro” threads like skinny neckties & pegged pants. The wacky wear you mock was COOL in the 70s, in context.

I received this post in an e-mail at work via forwarding. It was so clever and funny that I had to Google it just to tell you that. Kudos to you.
