Heading off into the sunset….

Dressing alike continues to boggle my mind, one stumbled upon reviewer claims it had to do with the rise of the liberated woman and that men would be forced to do such things in order to get with a girl.It’s not a stretch for me to believe, heck i could see a young version of […]

Be Seeing You!

“Run! The Bass player from the Hives is a giant!”These Sears kind of look like uniforms from a 70’s reluanch of the Prisoner televions series.Source: Sears 1977

Underwear that’s fun to wear

I can still remember the first commercial I saw for Underoos, during the Plastic Man cartoon, your underwear could make you Superman, Darth Vader and even the Dukes of Hazzard!

Toilet Decisions

I don’t think I’d be able to choose between this bathroom decor, I mean the furry job above means you wouldn’t have to clean your toilet often (if you know what I mean fellas).But the gold carpeting on this bad boy would mean I really wouldn’t have to worry about my aim at all. You […]
