Guilty, Your Honor

Via His Swankness, I perused the Museum of Bad Fads for a bit. And yes, I did spend at least two of my college years wearing Zubaz pants.

Yeah, tacky-as-hell, I know. But for a college student who rarely got more than five hours of sleep in any one night, they were perfect. It also helped that my college was in the relative backwaters of small-town Iowa, which allowed for a certain "What the heck is he wearing?" factor on the part of people who had never seen such a thing before.

The problem with Zubaz pants, though, was how incredibly thin they were. So in winter, when the winds would kick up in Western Nebraska and proceed uninhibited all the way to Ohio, well....frostbite was a concern.
