Yeah, I had them and I loved them. Why? Because they were AWESOME!! Not only were they practical, they were versatile. All of those zippers and pockets; if I had a pair today, I would be able to carry my IPOD, my cell, my keys, my wallet, and my change all in different pockets. Parachute pants came in all different colors, not just black and grey, but the neon line was like no other. If I had parachute pants today, I would wear them with a shirt and tie, then come home, change into a T-Shirt and go to the movies in my parachute pants. I would take my kids to the playground and be the fastest down the slide. Then the next day, I would zip off the bottom half and wear my parachute shorts.
Oh, and I would start break dancing again too. My cousin and I finished second in a break dancing contest when I was 10 at a local roller skating rink. Why was I good at break dancing? Parachute Pants. If I were to start break dancing again I would have to watch the greatest break dancing movie of all time. That's right, Breakin. Breakin was sick. The second best break dancing movie of all time was Breakin 2-Electric Boogaloo.

- I wrote a book once titled "The Last Good Person." It sold 18 copies world wide. I bought 14. My wife is a blogger and she is addicted to it. We have 3 boys together. She is always blogging and reading blogs, now I am blogging so that she will listen to me like she listens to other bloggers.
for some reason when you talk about parachute pants I think of the MC hammer pants, is that what you're talking about?Those are very versatile with zippers and pockets, BTW I know you but for some reason it feels like you're a stranger didn't know you finished second in a competition, maybe I'll learn more about you here...
ReplyDeleteIt's me again, for some reason you changed my name to Have a blog on me as you can see above, Weird...
ReplyDeleteI always wanted parachute pants--but my parents never bought them for me. I wonder if I could find some in a vintage store....(because apparently I'm old now...and they've replaced bellbottoms at vintage stores)and try my breakdancing skills out. That would be a good time. To laugh at.
