The Hollies like them.

No, we hated them in the 20th century, too.

Makes you wonder if our archeologists are right in their findings. Take into consideration the brontosaurus.

Whee!! Are we having fun yet??

When I see “Airplane,” all I can think of first is “We need every light on the runway,” or words to that affect.

I love the puffy Renaissance pants on the guy speaking – you never know what’s going to come back in style. BTW – does anyone know what those things are called? My google efforts to find the correct terms didn’t work. (I tried “pantaloons”, “breeches”, and a few other search terms, but they keep giving me pictures from the wrong eras.)

They’re hose, actually “trunk hose” to distinguish them from the “nether hose” below. If loose, rather than stiff or padded, they’re called slops. Those in the picture are “paned” hose, with panels in a different color.

@Darryl — yup. How did you know? And no, I can’t see you.

I think that is my suitcase !!!
