#RonaldReagan

The 80's was crazy. The "I'm-closer-to-G-d-than-you-are" hair, mixed with rat tails. All doused in hairspray. Let me calm down and start at the beginning....


I couldn't pick just one...  These hairsprayed beauties had to be careful of any and all lit cigarettes. But hey! It's in style!

Then teenage boys thought it was a good idea to attempt the rat tail look...
  ewwwwwww.
I'm glad this one fell out of hair fame really quickly. Did girls walk by and think, "Damn, I'd love to give that rat tail some rat tail.." Oohp sorry, took that too far...

We can never forget about the Joe Dirt mullet. The only moment this hair has every had glory. Everyone who had one is hiding the proof. What pictures?
 


No shame in this family's game.

#ThankYouForAssigningThisRightBeforeLunch

Caribbean: Fungi is on every single menu in the Virgin islands. It kind of tastes like soggy, grainy, bread... But goes great with meats! It is made up of corn meal and okra.
  (The mushy ball in the middle)
Fungi is popular due to it's inexpensive ingredients as well as it is relatively easy to cook.

Chile: Bistec a lo pobre is beefsteak, French fries, fried onions, topped with a couple of fried eggs. Fried Fried Fried.
  Honestly doesn't even look that bad. Translated this dish is called, Beef to the Poor. This dish used to be considered fast food or 'junk food'. That must mean it's delicious.

Afghanistan: Qorma is super delicious looking. Qorma is typically an Indian dish dating back to the 16th century. Meet and water are braised together, mixed with vegtables and yogurt. That's strange. Coriannder and cumin are used to add a little middle eastern spice.


Peurto Rico: Mofongo is a concoction of mashed plantains, some seasonings, and what ever meat you want as a filler.
 
Kinda looks a little like fungi, they are only 25 minutes apart!

Australia: Fantales are little bite-sized carmal bits coated in milk chocolate. Sounds like a great outback snack. Wow that really not funny...

U.S.A.: Corn Dog
Apparently Germans were who invented the Hot Dog, so being Americans, we had to show them up. We took a weenie, shoved a stick in it's rear, threw some batter on it, then deep fried it to artery clogging perfection. First Corn Dogs were found dating back to the 1920's then were made popular by the 1940's. Thank heavens for that.

#AcidTrip

The 70's was a time of dirty, disgusting things not to tell your mother about. Their hairstyles resembled their lack of showering as well as a lack of personal hygine. Coming out of the 50's and 60's clean cut hair, the 70's loved long shaggy hair that swayed as the wind blew in their peace circles. (The wind or the smoke ;) could go either way) The women parted their hair right in the center hanging down to their hips. High School Year Favorites 70s Cat Stevens Ali Macgraw American

The more 'mature' pf the 70's women all look like they stepped out of an Autin Powers movie.
 Tell me not she looks like the evil minion with the nipple guns? The 70's new how to class themselves though, the teenagers just really didn't want to.

The men had pedophile-looking mustaches possibly still with crumbs lodged deep deep in there.
Their hair often times being just as long as the women's. It's a wonder everyone loved each other, they all looked the same.
 

We can't forget about the afro....


And last but not least, the lovely Farrah Fawcett


Ahhaha I'm just kidding, that's Farrah from Teen Mom.

#PomadeCrazy

In the 1940's they had this thing with greasy greasy greasy slicked back hair. Which I think is totally awesome. The allure of class is still there just like my recent post about the 20's. A common hairstyle was the flattop. Tapered sides with hair growing longer on top. This was now the WWII era. Because many men were enlisted, the hairstyles were short, and shaved, high and tight .If you also notice this fella's rockin' a mean hair part. Men would use Vaseline, grease or lard to get this look. I wonder if the smelled like it too? Their hair had a shine to it that now-a-days would be evidence of poor hygiene.

Dude take a shower. Axe's new line of styling gels is designed to not look greasy. Someone didn't get the memo... Awkward...
