So we've decided to do a "FTW" segment, like unto a "crazy news story of the week" that local news casters like to do about cats that find their paternal grandparents after treking through the Canadian Tundra. For those of you who don't speak "cool", "FTW" means "For the Win", which has become the new acronym amongst college students. I also like "quotation marks", but thats "beside the point".
FTW reminds me of the days us Archibald boys would be playing Horse in the shed behind the house in Blackfoot, and by shed I mean the large white structure that could easily viewed from space. Anytime someone felt they were about to hit an amazing shot through the rafters, off the old bookcase, ricochet off the 1994 EISF float, and into the hoop they'd say "OH!!! For the win!" followed by a groan when it bricked *hard* off the rim... or off the Blackfoot Community Players triangular set designs that had been in there for the better part of the decade. But I digress.
The FTW of the week is Erin's blog. I've copied and pasted her blog because you can't see it unless your friends with her, but her comments are HYSTERICAL!!! We love it!

It's called a leisure suit, ladies and germs, and if you didn't have one in the early 70s, you were a big fat loser. Mine was teal. I wore it with a silk floral shirt and a long necklace with a football player pendant that we all got at that year's team banquet. I was THE MAN.
Olan Mills backdrop #4: Bucolic Meadow with Split Rail Fence. Is that an animal carcass behind her?
Bobbi isn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but she and Dale both got fired from Shoney's.
Just a typical afternoon down on the plantation. In a business suit. Y'know, for a budget meeting with the slaves.
The Library might be more believable if the shelves weren't sloping downhill. Olan Mills is all about versatility.
Patrick broke ranks and chose drag over the bow tie."

What makes it funny is the reality that these are real people. And yes, they really wore those clothes.
When will that style of clothes come back??
