I live in the SF Bay Area, remember? Our beaches are so "interesting" that ya can't even walk on 'em without shoes.
I haven't studied The Potato Phenomenon in great detail, I'm just aware that God doesn't have *that* big a sense of humor...

I'm still fascinated by comb-overs. I can understand snowyegret's urge and men who wear comb-overs probably live in fear of women like her. Maybe the Sampson and Delilah thing. I'd really love to run up to a guy wearing all(oops,all isn't a good word) that plastered hair and ask,"What's with the do,Dude?"

Good thread! What drives me crazy is when guys put hair-pics or combs in their afro's. What's the deal with that? They can't find a better place to put their comb?
Last week I saw a guy who was wearing a visor UPSIDE-DOWN. I don't get it.
And guys who wear their jeans down to their knees so you can see their boxers. Like it's SOO cool to see your underwear when you're walking down the street. Please.
And teenage girls who dress like they are in their mid-twenties who are strippers or hookers. It's disgusting.
Oh, and anything more than 2 ear piercings gross me out. I don't like piercings anywhere else.
And I do not like ANY tattoos. Anywhere.

If I'd never cement a picture on to my living room wall, I damn sure wouldn't get a tattoo. I see some tattoos of a skull with a snake crawling out of the eye or other images you can't image looking at for a lifetime and I think, "This guy was real stupid and/or real drunk at one point in his life."
I can understand getting a wife and children, but a tattoo?! Tattoos are permanent!

Oh. Well then, you'll be unhappy to learn that most of the real things in the Bay Area are dating other real things...
edited to add: Toke, I thank my lucky stars that my family was too dysfunctional to hand down Thanksgiving recipes requiring sweet potatoes. We *did* invent throwing the turkey on the diningroom floor though, I believe...

A friend of mine used to golf with a man with a combover. She said everytime the wind would blow his hair would flap over and he'd just smooth it back down. I could not have kept a straight face. Then again she also golfed with a man in his fifties named "Bob" and they called his son who was in his thirties "Baby Bob". One thing that personally bothers me is when women wear light colored pants and either dark undies or flowered ones. Don't they know? Maybe they do. When I was younger and us girls used to go out on week-ends one of my friends would spray her hair (heavily) every time we stopped somewhere. It was like rubber when you touched it.

Blasphemy! I like them just baked...with great gobs of butter. The skins are even good...trust me.
Sage dressing with celery, onions & mushrooms...oh, yeah. I like it so well, I even grow my own sage.
I'm hungry.

barbkeith, I remember bouffant hairdos laquered into place - you could have bounced a tennis ball off them and not made a dent. They were an overblown version of anchorwoman helmet hair.

I know from where I speak. Big women in tight anything that reveals the bumps, bulges and cellulite. GAG!! Hidious thoughts, pantie lines straining against the fabric, the bra lines that have loose skin hanging over under the arms and back and tight jeans that hold together at the seams, somehow miraculously---barf!
Hey-- we are people of all shapes and sizes. And no, we are not all models and don't need to sqeeze, chaff and show more flesh than anyone really ever needs to see.
Should big people be in huge moo moos? Heck no. Just buy the right size when shopping and it will be a lot easier on every ones eyes.

Helen, of course I meant you I've been called all manner of things -- my favorite from elsewhere today was "sock puppet" 
"Should big people be in huge moo moos?"
I prefer pup-tents myself...

jeanyu,
Have you noticed how fat women wear psychedelic colors like hot pink, neon orange, and lemon yellow? And all in polyester stretch fabric which glows and grows as it stretches to the max.
