You guys look like brothers.
Hmmm,...here's something interesting. If I meld your pictures together in Photoshop, the result looks just like your avatar!

The day after Labor Day 1984 at 8:15 a.m. I'm sitting at my desk in Mrs. Sweeney's Algebra class minding my own business. Not bothering anyone, and this guy in a Guess jacket and pants with Speery Topsiders is sitting in the desk in front of me blabbering incessant nonsense. fftopic: Hey, I have the graduation picture, anyone want to see it?????

Geez, I don't remember it to the last second and day like you do---and its Sperry. :eusa_doh: All I remember is the guy behind me who was dressed like a hobo in a T-shirt and blue jeans.
I also remember some guy hanging out a window yelling at Sylvino though. [bad]
Geez, those black and white pictures look awful. Didn't you get color ones? :eusa_doh:

That would be interesting.

********
Nor shaved legs or armpits.

///////ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH! [he runs from the room, gasping, screaming, eyes tearing at the sight or thought of it, and CRASHES THROUGH WINDOW, landing in a mangled heap 13 storeys below]

I live in Berkeley, my good Covinan. Only about three years ago did the female undergraduates begin to shave again. Before that, normal female grooming was considered "submitting to the patriarchy," in the cliched and trite, VERY second wave feminist (what decade was second wave feminism? OH, OUR FAVORITE -- THE SEVENTIES!) formulation, still extant in this provincial burg, this backwater, this Bay Area, this Berkeley.

Luckily I have been befriending some of the (heterosexual) (female) radical feminist types who think my manners are charming and quaint and who think that fedoras and ties are a legitimate mode of subversion unto themselves (blah blah blah, whatever). I have successfully gotten one of them to begin to agree that there is something good about masculine style (not overvamped macho style, just classic 1940s style). After this goal has been thoroughly accomplished I shall try to explain that there is also something very good about classic tasteful feminine style (again, classic 1940s or so, not something tasteless or trashy).

She has become a good friend, and is very smart and is someone I respect, so I hope I can pull her away from the ill influences still lingering from that blighted decade.

Good luck. You are going into an area where even Captain Kirk wouldn't.
And as for shaving, you mean they got rid of their beards and moustaches too?!

No no no, just talking about armpits and legs. I have not seen the things you are mentioning.

You aren't looking close enough then. That's not a man baby.

I lived in the Tenderloin for 6 years. If anyone can tell women and men apart, it's me. The trannies walking around challenge one's skills daily in this regard.

You're a moron. You know the darn yearbook pictures were all in black and white.:rage: Of course it was first period and the first day of school, which is always the day after Labor Day.:eusa_doh: YOU were the one hanging out the window yelling at your brother Silvino Rodriques. and then you pulled the chair from out under that numbskull Mike Santos and tried to blame Danny Pena.

Well if she ever talked to me her only response would be; PIG!

Not if she "saw" that you actually were expressing an "ironic statement about 1940s male visual/sartorial conformity and the re-appropriation thereof for a more diverse appreciation of the radically socially constructed 'nature' of the American discourse on gender" (or however one needs to gussy this sort of thing up to appeal to various constituencies)
[sorry, i've been in academia too long ... but at least i can talk the talk]

Well, that too. But I'm positive she'd end it by the phrase; "oink".
