Well, it's not me at the ripe old age of 15 standing in line waiting to get into the AC/DC concert, but even worse. A pic of me in my prom tux circa 1982.
There is an old school twist to my prom. The girl I went to prom with & I broke up a couple months before the prom. Since her mom invested in a nice dress for her, and since it was my last chance at prom, and I already rented the tux, we decided to still go & make the best of it. BIG fuggin' mistake.
The prom itself was miserable (for us). I'm sure I was being a dick, but she didn't help by being anti-social. After dropping her off at home (the original plan was some "alone" time with her at my folks summer home) I headed out to a friends house where I drank and smoked myself into a stupor, and apparently hallucinated enough to blurt out something about Santana missles hiding in the sand trap. To get to the Old School part of the story, my friends and I decided that we needed to go out and have FUN (God knows I needed it!) for the day after, so we got tickets to see Motorhead, Krokus, & Fist at the Aragon in Chicago. I think that was Iron Fist/Once Vice at a Time era stuff....Much fun was had, and a week or so later, I ended up dating a full blooded Swedish gal (who was a borderline nympho!lol) for the entire summer.

That tux is almost scary! So the prom was bad but some good came out of it in the end, I couldn't be bothered with my prom because I hated the school!

Dunno. You looked fairly pissed off about it then too! :) Pretty cool, man. We all have similar pics, I'm sure.
 
You look shit scared, it was the prom not the draft :lol:

We don't have the prom concept here and I have always find it amusing when I see at movies. Too much fuzz about it btw in my humble opinion.

Everything got better after that, yes..... :)
I was originally pretty hard core about NOT going, but got "talked into it"...

LOL! Deron, you'll get yours come September! :heh:

Bryant, I'll paraphrase a Frank Zappa saying: "...There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out there that there are of you ("pretty" people)

Such a cool blue tux J Dub! I graduated in 1982 as well but no prom pics for me as I didn't go.

You missed absolutely NOTHING. I was always a weirdo in highschool, I wasn't freaky enough for the freaks, was good enough to hang with the jocks,
partied with the burnouts, but got good grades and was kind of dissed by them. Fortunately, I found a few people like me in that regard, and am still friends with a couple of them to this day (although we live a zillion miles apart now)

I couldn't agree more....if I only knew what I knew now in 1982.....lol

Also for Whisper & Wheezer.....

I think that was my "take the damn picture already, I want to get this over with!" :heh:
