-Little Miss Sunshine. It was excellent.
-A guy on the street juggling 2 flaming sticks in front of a bar. He stopped to let me pass.
-People stopping on the freeway to read those big signs that let you know about accidents and road closures. Seriously people, we need to work on our freeway literacy. I was in stop and go traffic 3 times and each time was because people were slowing down to read the sign that said the Bay Bridge would be closed over Labor Day weekend. Admittedly it's a big deal, but after you've read the sign once maybe we could just cruise on by the next 2 times.
-A nerd/punk gang from the 80s. Standing in line in front of me while trying to buy a ticket for Little Miss Sunshine were a group of 5 kids who had completely embraced their nerdatude. They ranged in age from 13 to maybe 16. And the strangest thing about this particular group was that they got their bad-ass rebellious look right out of Pretty in Pink. The youngest kid had curly blond hair hanging over his eye, a rimmed hat tipped back on his head like Duckie, one REALLY large fake diamond earring, a white undershirt, and the very sunglasses from risky business. And while they started out in front of me in line, an argument broke out about who was paying for tickets, and several of us normal people from the 2000's cut in front of them. They didn't seem to mind, or even notice.

Wow, I didn't know jugglers could be such gentlemen. I should consider dating them. Do you think he would bring along his flaming sticks? I wouldn't have to worry about conversation, that's one thing...
There has been an alarming number of 80's fads resurfacing again...ie leg warmers, and the...dare I say it...upturned collars (shudder). The funniest thing is that those kids (all early twenties and younger) think these styles are brand new. Weren't they like in utero during the 80's? Come on people. Those who don't learn from the 80's are doomed to repeat them.
I'm advocating for emergency preparedness. Forget earthquakes. Fashion faux pas have ripped a new one in the space time continuum.
ps. I will however tolerate any reincarnations of Jake Ryan...in the words of Sheila O., "Jake Ryan, he's dreamy."
