Cheesiest "phase" you ever went through

I used to stuff my pants with a cucumber. I rocked.

Kept saying FTW! and lollerkopter during casual conversation. lawl.

still in it right now, actually, and enjoying every minute of it! i'm learning to love the old school--classic rock, old bikes, old jeans--basically the stuff you see on 80s/90s movies. i get a kick out of it!

few years ago i went through this thing where i thought moose made me look cool. wow. that was bad.

I went through a phase in my sophomore year of college where I wore a tie everyday. That was really stupid!

I was a (cough-cough) hardcore long distance runner! Oh the humanity.

I was into the rave scene from 1997 to 2000. No drugs, but I hung around all kinds of addicts.

High school was a tough time. I just got so feta up with my life. I just wanted to retreat into my room and be provalone. There was too much angry rodoric at home and in the classroom, and I wanted to know whey. After a brief period of aging ranging from 3 to 9 months I wanted to make a change, do something brielliant with this existance.

My ambitions coagulated and I realized I would glorify gouda with my body by becoming a runner. So I trained night and day to become fast and rennet mile faster then anyone else could. I ran that mile at yeast as fast as anyone I know. Alas I was injured soon after. Stilton this day I wonder how gouda could have been.

I went through my 'rocker/hair band' stage. I was rocking the long hair and was spotted a Def Leppard Union Jack muscle shirt on more than one occasion. I wore a lot of concert shirts back then. Everyone from Iron Maiden and Ratt to ZZ Top to Motley Crue.

2008 sticky cheese:

Heart rate monitors

Breathe-rite strips

Oxysocks

Shoes with springs, lights or whistles

baggie running shorts

20 years from now people will be laughing at you. On second thought, they already are!

Wore gel in my hair to middle school one day. Realized I looked like an idiot and never did it again.

I didn't really go thru one that everyone else didn't go thru. What that says about me is either I had no individuality in high school or I had good sense!

I did the whole street punk thing for awhile too.

Sewn up black pants, bum flaps, patches, homemade jackets with a jumble of studs and patches covering them. I never really smoked though (enough second hand)--all my friends did. I actually had a couple of good seasons in there, though I don't really know how....

IT was fun while it lasted, and it makes for some good stories--but f*** what group of failures (for the most part; there are exceptions).

Bum flaps. I never understood that whole thing, looking like an urban loin cloth. And all the ones I ever saw had band logos. Bum billboards more like it.

Speaking of failures: how old are you (and your former streetpunk peers)? And how many of them are still barbacking and washing dishes at the local watering holes?

Fluorescent colored muscle shirts, shorts and shoelaces around 1984. Kind of like original Duran Duran meets deer hunting season. You had to be there I guess.

i used to wear stupid bracelet things when i was in year 7..... also i used to wear a chain on my wallet.

I wore a cowboy hat to elementary school for a few days. Also adopted a Brooklyn accent for about two weeks in 9th grade.

High School: Grunge look. I can't believe my parents let me leave the house. And looking back at pictures of myself it's no wonder I didn't get alot of action from the ladies.

Grunge. I did that too. Flannel shirts, crappy goatee and sideburns, two earrings in one ear, long hair all one length.

mid-late 1980s-- slightly spikey buzz-cut and wraparound sunglasses, à la Jim McMahon or Brian Bosworth (nothing shaved onto the side of my scalp, though)

2002-2004 Fantasy football. WAY too into it, particularly since I was in only one low-stakes league.

Sported a mullet in the 80's
