103) You remember Big Audio Dynamite before Big Audio Dynamite II.
104) If you were a girl, you wore black tights that didn't have the feet part. They pretty much stopped at your ankles or midcalf.
104b) You wore them under plaid pleated miniskirts or tattered jean shorts.
105) You made your punk necklace from a dog chain and safety pin. 'Cause frankly, a safety pin can convert anything into a necklace.

I saw a woman in the supermarket today wearing leg warmers. Since it was 6 below zero outside and most people around here's idea of high fashion is to get the biggest depiction of a wolf on the back of your fleece as possible I'm not too worried ..... but please, someone reassure me. These are not coming back in style, RIGHT?

Oh, good. Thanks for putting my mind at ease a little. I don't think I could take seeing some of these heifers running around dressed like Olivia Newton-John in the "Let's Get Physical" video. You have wolf fleecers in Utah? This is a nationwide problem?
