maybe it was fluorescent clothing- there was a time bright orange was in, reminiscent of prison jumpsuits, but brighter.
Hey, IP, do you know the reason the prison jumpsuits are orange? Does the color orange incite peace?
Plastic shoes were also a little strange. They were called jellies. I think they are still made in some parts. Well, they were comfortable.

cosplay
ppl dressing up like animals – furries – for dating and sex?
@five2one at least in the “furry community” people’s masks are on the outside, UNLIKE in daily life, where you don’t KNOW what masks are hiding behind.
@Jear77 hahaha…
CELL PHONES – YEA I SAID IT
A LITTLE DEVICE WE ALL HAVE – EVEN HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE THEM – WE ARE ABSOLUTELY ADDICTED TO THEM. FEAR OF MISSING OUT STEMS FROM THESE LITTLE BASTARDS. WE CANNOT LOOK AWAY. WE GET TWITCHY WHEN SEPARATED. THEY ARE WORSE THAN CRACK OR METH. WE HAVE TO CARRY THEM EVERYWHERE. WE CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT LOOKING. WE VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH THEM.
CELLPHONES ARE EVIL
religion
@luftballooneyegouge ha if only it were just a fad….
@luftballooneyegouge my religion relies heavily on rock music and cinema. We are the new gods. Archetypes behind modern myths.
I lived a life good enough to make a movie from.
Hahaha…
SLAVERY
@Tits McGee haha, classic
Orange is a color we cannot have in our house. Immortal Pirate was trained to have a heightened sense of attention to anything, or anybody wearing orange. His late wife knew that orange raises his anxiety. She wanted him to relax at home. She chose a blue from the other side of the color wheel for the color of this house. She wanted him to chill-out and calm down. Orange is a color for a target when shooting. There is no orange in our home.
The strangest fad of all, in my opinion, is sagging pants, showing boxer shorts. It began in the prisons where the inmates wear boxer shorts and their belts were taken away from them. With nothing to hold their pants up, and losing a bit of weight (because prison food tastes really bad), their pants become too large for them and sagged below their boxer shorts. I thought it was odd when teen-aged boys started wearing over-sized pants, no belt, and sagging their pants below their boxer shorts. Maybe it was to look like a prison inmate, or they think it makes them look bad ass.
To me it makes them look stupid ass. As if they don’t know how to dress themselves.

HE CAN CHANGE – ITS CALLED ADJUSTING TO ADULT LIFE
I CAN SEE THE OLD MAN FREAKING OUT IN THE PRODUCE AISLE AT THE GROCERY STORE
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH – CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!
@Tits McGee He doesn’t “freak out” in a grocery store. He is smart enough to know a fruit from an inmate. Besides, pumpkins make great shooting targets. He has adjusted very well to life. You like to make him out as insane and stupid, just to make yourself feel better about you. However, he is quite sane and a very nice man. Everyone else sees him as a good man. You are the only one saying stupid bull shit about him.
@ladybarbara
I NEVER SAID THE PIRATE WAS INSANE OR STUPID. I NEVER SAY THAT ABOUT ANYONE.
OLD, YES.
INSANE AND STUPID, THOSE ARE YOUR WORDS.
@Tits McGee Anyone who would freak out in a grocery store over orange colored food —– that would be insane!!!! I get tired of your put downs!!!
