caption contest, big rock with people in front

Wouldn’t you know it?   It’s time for another caption contest!   This week’s photo features a big rock with some people in what appears to be a dangerous position.   So you can write about what could happen or what already happened.  And of course you can make your caption from the point-of-view of anyone in the picture or of someone watching it.  Really, you can put about anything you want, as long as it’s relevant to the picture and it’s funny.

hair bands of the ’80s

The decade of the ’80s saw some tacky fashion trends, too many to name here, but one that stands out is the “hair band”, where guys in rock bands had long hair — sometimes even with perms. Ugh!

Be forewarned that the following pictures are not for the squeamish. If you can withstand the tackiness, look beyond the big hair and notice what some of them are wearing. I was a child of the ’80s, so fortunately I didn’t get too caught up in that craziness. But looking back, you have to wonder how in the world people thought that was cool!

Can anyone explain how that was ever considered fashionable? I have no idea… Did we just overlook that because some of the music was good? Could there be any other possible explanation?
