Title: Homecoming

Backstory
1986. 9th Grade. The homecoming theme: Push It, by Salt N' Pepa. Somehow, I remember thinking what a tremendous coup it was for me to have made it to homecoming with Jenny Sweet. Don't I look proud? I must not have noticed that she was bigger than me, and was looking somewhere else. I guess I didn't also notice the purple satin gloves, tiger stripe orbs, or my own square knit tie, for that matter.

Actually, the square knit tie is hot. Sort of.

This reminds us that even amidst the existential nightmare of early adolescence there really is a chance for John Hughes-esque redemption.

Not so mortifying. It looks like you snagged a hot, older chick. Although for a second I did think it was your mom...

Q: Does that dress warrant satin gloves? A: If they are navy blue, yes.

I think you may have "Pushed It" a little too far.

Wow somebody's robbing the grave. Just remember, its 1987 and MacGyver will come and tie your ass up with rubber bands and tire treads if you try anything

She's also standing about a foot away from you and has her arm slung over you like you're a piece of furniture.

What school administrator thought that "Push It" was a wise and appropriate theme? Salt N' Pepa's here!

Did she at least use the gloves to cover her hand while giving your pre-pubertiy weiner a hand job, she has the look like she forgot to wear panties under that dress too - Geeky ass - you didnt even score did you?

You know, I feel more sorry for her than for you. The GLOVES, man, THE GLOVES! And the expression on her face! Damn.

Ok, is that just a shoulderpad or does she actually have a hump on her right shoulder? No wonder she went with you, she's too hot by 1986 standards to be with you otherwise.

I don't think she was just "looking somewhere else," unless there was something really fascinating on the gym ceiling. And rolling one's eyes during photographic evidence says it all, doesn't it? You're better off, Josh.

You know, most girls at this age really are bigger than the guys. It is no coincidence that if the traditional jr. high dance pose is assumed, the girl puts her arms on the guy's shoulders and not vice versa!

This is the best thing I've ever seen! That chick looks like a way too cool for school, smoking in the bathroom, wants to do Metallica kinda chick who just moved to town and got asked out by you. Oh yeah, and she has a fifth in her purse. You are just too freakin cute.

You poor thing. From the looks of her body language, it looks like you were knee-deep in the "friend zone" with her.
