Life's so rad

SweaterPolo crests. The deep-V-neck cardigan. GENERRA. This is truly the greatest thing I have seen in many weeks spent ... looking at things.

My friend Kevin recently cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." ... Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s."

Oh my heavens. I was just looking at this, and I don't remember where I found it now. Crazy.

I bet we both saw it on TMN (which wishes it were as awesome as TML).

Oh man, and I forgot to add that in high school, I too had a male friend of the same sexual persuasion who worked at Marshalls, and this was like a crazy flashback. The affinity for deep-V-neck cardigans is uncanny. I bet the guy had a shovelhead haircut too.

Oh yes! That is it! I didn't have the personal link to this site that you do, but I still found it very entertaining and somehow enlightening.
