wolfpangs | And we'll all stay free.

Yeah, I dunno but it probably made sense at the time. That's my grandfather on the right.

Too bad I didn't discover these when it would have been topical.

Now let's have a chaste photo of my grandmother and my greatgrandmother before we get back to the pics with awkward subtext.

And here is my grandmother ending her friendship with Stella McCartney before the world even knew what a Beatle was.

Remember when baby bangs were chic for a minute? I never really liked them but I have to say, in spite of possible bias, that my grandmother is working 'em.

Neneh Cherry*: Know wot I mean?

My grandmother (on the right) has always been stylie.

Now let's go over there. Over where? Over there. Stand by--lemme throw on some mood music.

Good Lord. Alrighty, moving on. My grandfather on the left with some guys.

Some other guys!

Another guy and the lady on the right:

Every time I look at that one, I think about that scene in Shawshank Redemption where the warden says, "What say, fuzzy britches?" [Uh, if you haven't seen the movie**, that is most definitely a spoiler scene.]

Oh what, hey--we're all in the barracks now! (Gpa--on the rightish.)

Apparently my grandfather served at the OK Corral. I'm guessing they were going to a jump, coming from a jump, or thinking about jumping judging by the strappy pants. Someone should sell that design to Hot Topic and make bank.

This couple looks so familiar to me but I can't quite place them. Anywho, that's my grandfather on the right and they are so in ancient Greece (see background for further details).

What say, fuzzy britches? This is my grandmother and I would LOVE to know the story behind this, because it's fairly obvious this picture was torn into pieces and then taped back together. Also, I wish I could find the negative for it (I've found negatives for some of the other photos) because this photo rules.

My grandparents. I almost can't believe my grandfather is on the left in a photo.

Some chick on a suspension bridge, possibly in GA judging by the license plate on the Studewhatever.

My grandfather (taking his customary "on the right" photo position) and some guys. If my knowledge of era-appropriate movies is correct, my grandfather looks like he's seconds away from swigging out of a flask (probably true), driving off in a huff (unlikely) and getting in a fight in which someone dies (reply hazy).
