Ah yes, the 70′s.

Anyone who grew up in the 70′s in the U.S. will totally relate to this.  I got this in an email a long time ago, but I feel it deserves to be a part of Indelibly Blogged, because I lived this era!  (OK, plus I needed blog fodder.)  I don’t think I’ve laughed this much in a long time.  I’m just glad no one dug up any of my old photos for this little collection.  There are some real doozies, too!  LOL  No, I didn’t write the captions, but kudos to whoever did.
