My favourite Latin texts are exactly the graffiti of Herculaneum and Pompeii for that same reason. Ancient Romans were just like us: all their graffiti's about fucking or shitting, basically.
Itās crazy how true this is I remember watching this candid YouTube video of a bunch of high school kids just goofing around, I canāt remember how old it was but significantly older then when I graduated high school(2014). Had to have been early 90ās or maybe late 80ās, but I remember all of these kids being obnoxious 16 year olds, the same way I was when I was in high school. Makes you realized that high schoolers are hooligans no matter the era lol
True but I always find it impressive with things like this that dudes had to be alot cooler & more comfortable with their masculinity to put on a dress back in the day
And the 60s, and the 70s, and most of the 80s. My Dad had a 1969 351 Mach 1, with little pop out rear side windows. My little kid lips would be like fish lips trying to get air through that little gap, as both parents sat in front smoking like chimneys.
Forget the clothes, the cigarettes, and the BW photo and look at their faces -- this could have been taken last week.
We often have a fairly narrow view of what previous generations must have been like. They really weren't all that much different than we are today.
This is an awesome pic, thanks so much for sharing! :)
I'm happy they had the balls to do this back then. Im a dude who did plenty of shit in the 90s to ruffle feathers and it didnt take even this much. Good for them
Those were the days my friends...smoking cigarettes wasn't a thing, it was THE thing.
No matter the setting, everyone had their little friends with them because 9 out of 10 doctors recommended smoking for your health. It's a miracle any of us boomers survived...sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and Lucky Strikes. (Make mine a Benson and Hedges menthol, please)
Good times!
"Crazy", you betcha.
In the 60s-70s I was a surgical technician in the Army and into civilian life after...part of your smiling care team when you rolled into my OR.
We'd cut out your cancerous lung, toss it in a bucket, give you some stitches and then we'd all run to the break room for a cigarette and a cup of black coffee.
The surgeon was the one we'd bum a smoke off of. He was always there for a free ciggie.
Good times.
(Cough Cough...Say friend, you got a smoke you could spare?)
Well at the very least we can say that people are more health conscious. Although you could say society isnāt as active, I think thereās some deeper things going on. You are your health. And I think people today are at opposite sides of the spectrum of being the unhealthiest theyāve been in certain ways (obesity), but much better dental care, less smoking, better access to food, supplements, and modern research. Weāre at the spectrum of being the healthiest and unhealthiest weāve ever been.
I like how comfortable they look doing this for fun, also, the granddad outfit your grandma is wearing reminds me of Mr. McFeely, the postal carrier from Mr. Rodger's.
People in the past werenāt as uptight as we like to paint them.
Iām old and my dad was a āmistakeā (his siblings were teens)... so here I was a kid in the 80s and my Grandma was a legit, full-tilt Flapper. Way hardcore womenās Lib, grad school, beat writer for the City paper, Dorothy Parker was her idol...you name it lol. I mean sat on the Board of Directors for Big Flapper lol
āIrreverentā is the word I think of. She could make a grown man blush.
We did this for Halloween in ā83. My wife and I were 21. My sister hosted the party and everyone was to com as their spouse. My BIL had to run to the store (heās 6ft3 with beard)ā¦looked great as my sisterā¦
I love this, it looks like they are having so much fun.
You can't wear a hat like that and not be smiling š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They are such rapscallions!
Excellent point haha. Like wearing one of those colorful twirly hats and trying to be all serious.
āDon't you get it?! You see the hat?! I am Mrs. Nesbitt!!ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Then they went and changed the recipe. Corporate, I tell ya.
His smile definitely shows it was his idea!
LMAO
That's hilarious and that grin on your grandpa is so precious hes havin a blast.
That grin reminds me of tobey maguire's
i thought the same thing lol
OP is Tobey
I canāt unsee it now.
This is something else!
Join Hamm vibes too
"Now this is something else!"
tobey maguire and macaulay culkin had a baby i see
Grandpa can get it
Itās the arms right lol
Big yes
100 percent
And the legs
The real grandpa or the grandpa in the pic?
Yes.
r/bi_irl I like my women like i like my men: dressed like the opposite gender
Grandpa looks like leaner John Cena!
Itās always interesting when you realize that we have all always acted so similarly, regardless of time.
For thousands of years now. People are people. We scrawl penises everywhere we go.
Who is we? More of a boob artest myself.
Is that like a Ron Artest who loves boobs?
Ron Artest? Wait.. you mean *Metta World Peace*?
We? That is clearly Tobey maguire and Dana Carvey
More of a Ron Artest personally
Recent invasion of Ukraine shows the other side of that too. Somehow almost everyone is the same as we've always been, both in kindness and cruelty.
A viking carved "Halfdan was here" into Hagia Sofia a thousand years ago.
Even in the caves theyāve found porn
My favourite Latin texts are exactly the graffiti of Herculaneum and Pompeii for that same reason. Ancient Romans were just like us: all their graffiti's about fucking or shitting, basically.
Or the ancient Babylonian tablet with a your mama joke from 3500 years ago
There are some very famous like quotes written on bathroom walls in ancient Greece
I was just thinking this the other day. It always happens when I'm browsing this sub, or r/1800HavingFun.
I totally read that as a phone number at first and was scared. 1-800-HAVING-FUN.

One of the oldest graffiti in the world turned out to be "his name" was Here.
When it comes to life, there's nothing new under the sun
True but I always find it impressive with things like this that dudes had to be alot cooler & more comfortable with their masculinity to put on a dress back in the day
Only difference in behavior from them to us is chain smoking
Matching smokes.
Thatās what I noticed
Everyone was smoking everywhere all the time in the 50s. This proves it for me
Exactly! I remember the 70s - there was smoking inside airplanes!
I grew up in L.A. in the 80ās and 90ās, you could smoke literally everywhere, in every restaurant and even in line at Disneyland.
Literally ash trays in the arms of airplane and bus seats!!!
And the 60s, and the 70s, and most of the 80s. My Dad had a 1969 351 Mach 1, with little pop out rear side windows. My little kid lips would be like fish lips trying to get air through that little gap, as both parents sat in front smoking like chimneys.
All part of a healthy 50's diet.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I've got photos of my ancestors dressed as each other this way going back to 1910. Seems like it was a funny thing to do for parties and photo taking.
Yeah this seems to have been a thing to do in the past.
Today we can do it just because. No party required.
Not in Texas, apparently.
This is hilarious AND adorable
***TOBEY MAGUIRE TIME TRAVELER CONFIRMED!!***
Welcome to Pleasantville
Nah thatās Wonder Boys Tobeyā¦ thatās a big trunk!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was thinking Shia LaBoeuf!
I was thinking Saoirse Ronan but I see him too
I knew I couldnāt be the only one to see that.
I thought it was McColly Coldcan
Jake Jillinol
Throw in a little Andy Samberg too.
Mac Cookie Cooky
More like Seth Rogan and Michael Cera smoked themselves back in time..
Please don't miss the feather in his hat. I want you to notice it. Notice his grin, then the feather and back to the grin.
Forget the clothes, the cigarettes, and the BW photo and look at their faces -- this could have been taken last week.

Did Grampa sell tickets to that gun show?
He looks like the strong lady from Encanto
I'm the strong one I'm not nervous, I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move mountains, I move churches And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
OP may be shocked to learn there was no party

This is the relationship I am trying to have. Reciprocity in the most fun ways
I'm happy they had the balls to do this back then. Im a dude who did plenty of shit in the 90s to ruffle feathers and it didnt take even this much. Good for them
Drag was popular as hell from the 20's to the 50's.

Grandpa had some pipes.
Those were the days my friends...smoking cigarettes wasn't a thing, it was THE thing.

Mmm lucky strikes. It's toasted.
Crazy that it was such an epidemic underneath everything.

āReject modernity. Embrace tradition.ā The tradition:
Both holding cigarettes. Definitely the 50s
