I kind of um *whispers* like disco. Not ALL of it! Just a leetle bit. Like A Fifth of Beethoven. Okay, fine. I like the whole SNF soundtrack. But that's it! And Heart of Glass. No more! Maybe Dancing Queen... |  |

umm, rocky horror was a lot of fun, i only attended twice, but, someday maybe it would be fun to go again. (i bet you didn'y know that anthony stewart head was the original dr. fank-n-furter on stage) (i get bonus geek points for knowing that, having a picture of ASH downloaded on my computer and for actually knowing who anthony stewart head is)
(oops- i have a piercing, too) (but just one)
but, i am right there with you on the rest of that shit. |  |

I managed to ignore most of these, and the others I will NOT admit now! |  |

Hey folks, I'm not putting anyone down. All fads are dumb in retrospect. I had a mood ring myself, and I at least TRIED to watch Rocky Horror.... I just got bored. |  |

How many times did you streak? Will you be posting pics? |  |
  |  |  | Joe the Troll July 20, 2006 07:09 AM PDT
Never did that.... I was about 10 nwhen that was popular. |  |

Ah. You can tell a great deal about a civilization by its fads. Not really but it sounded sophisticated. I would hate for archeologists to dig up my platform shoes and vinyl disco remixes and extrapolate about our culture. Yeesh. |  |

Joe? did you watch the rocky horror picture show in the theater with audience participation (AP) (very fun) or at home on DVD?
(DVD=very boring)
(i did that streaking thing one time- don't tell the kids!) |  |
  |  |  | Joe the Troll July 20, 2006 11:01 AM PDT
JK- It was at home, and dreadfully dull.
I won't tell the kids if you send pics! I'm not above blackmail.
BTW, did that package I sent get there? |  |

oh, yes it came yesterday, i haven't listened to it yet though- busy busy busy!
i am looking forward to giving hearing it soon. |  |

oh, the rocky horror thing-believe me, it is quite an experience at the movies, ummm, you might want to sit in the back row the first time... |  |

I agree with all that list, except maybe Rocky Horror - though Time Warp is the best song in it. I have never understood the Baby on Board signs either. Never had one myself - far too nerdy ;-) |  |

Geez, I remember all of these, too. Which ones did I participate in?
Streaking - no way, Jose
Pet rock - PASS
DIsco - guilty, in part
RHPS - Guilty
Wacky Wall Walkers - kid had one
Rubik's - GUILTY
Break Dancing - didn't even try
BOB signs - NO, but I had a Bart Simpson one
Piercings - ears don't count, right?
Wassuup? - NOOOOOO
Mood Ring - ok, I did have one in the 70's
Lava Lamp - Got one now!
Alligator shirt - I had the penguin ones and one alligator. My bad. |  |
