Craiglist makes me laugh

[Dalya]

Someone posted a "Schwing" bike.

P.S. I'm selling my Schwinn cruiser; let me know if you want it. I GIVE YOU GOOD PRICE. It's awesome vintage-style, but I want a lightweight road bike instead.

That makes me laugh, too!

I want a cruiser but Sam tells me I should get a lighter frame, too, so I can put it in the car or hang it from the garage ceiling like he does. So I guess I am out.

Haha, searched for "lightweight cruiser" and found this.

- Mere "it could be kind of fun, I guess" 1975

Shouldn't a Schwing be listed under Casual Encounters? Or was that where you were looking and were surprised to find a bike listing?

in the same spirit as sam's above comment, i'm surprised you only found that when searching for "lightweight cruiser".

Hahaha

Or under 80s Nostalgia Paraphernalia?

Wayne's World = 90s, youngun.

Whatever, same craphole. The clothes were bad and the good music was rare, that's all I know.

And I loved me some Boy Meets World!

[mere1975]

Uh oh, don't badmouth 90s music around these parts!

Yea!

...or my electric blue Doc Marten's, for that matter.

And flannels / baggy jeans are comfy!

I would also like to say that my babydoll dresses over leggings with Mary Janes looked pretty great back then. Especially when I wore the orange nubuck Mary Janes, thankyouverymuch.

The vests on the other hand. . . maybe not.

i did this like it was my job. and i agree with you all about the 90s, i was a big fan of the rocker/grungy thing. dalya's nuts, there was a ton of great shit happening in the 90s. there was also a ton of terrible shit happening then, but isn't there always?

Ned's Atomic Dustbin t-shirt

Did your shirt say "NOT SLEEPING AROUND" in big letters on the front? Because mine did, and most people did not get that it was a song reference.

[mere1975]

No, mine asked, "Are you normal?" I remember getting all kinds of dumb remarks.

- Mere " " 1975

[aquaphase]

Mine said "Kill Your Television." That, too, got lots of odd comments.
