Throwing Down the Gauntlet on “Q on the Move”

If you are not a follower of the Q on the Move.. blog there is probably something wrong with you.  Quinton J has some great and funny posts.  I have never met the man but he seems to have the same strange sense of humor as me.  I always look forward to his posts.  He will either find this post funny as heck or be pissed I am stealing his fame.  :-)

Quinton does a post every Thursday called “Throwback Thursday.”  Here is an example  and another example .  In these posts he shows old pictures of himself when he was young.  Usually he is keeping it real in the playground or Stylin’ and ‘profilin’ with his baseball cap to the side. 

While Q was hangin’ with the boys on Sesame Street, I was busy being a lady’s man.  This was me in middle school (circa 1990).  I remember I was going on a hot date with a girl named Traci.  I was sporting the Z Cavaricci pants with the bottoms pinch rolled, silk shirt and Dockers dress shoes.  I was also rocking the Macgyver feathered hair.  I was the bomb back then.  I even had the supermarket flowers to impress the hottie.

Note: I think she dumped me after that date but no worries because there were other ladies taking numbers for this hottie. 

Ladies, you will need to take a number and wait in line for this hottie!!

  1. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! WELL DONE BROTHER! Thanks for the shout out. So now I know where all the ladies were back then while I was G'd-up-from-the-feet-up. Apparently I had the wrong approach. You are suave in this pic my man…I think I may now have a crush on you. And don't worry...that girl will forever remember you as “The One That Got Away”.

  2. @Quinton J: "G'd-up-from-the-feet-up" What the heck does that mean? LOL

    "I think I may now have a crush on you" Truly Scary! Q has a Man-Crush. I'm telling your wife.

    I don't think Traci was the same after she realized what she had done. Her life was in ruins after that.

  4. Q is always having man-crushes (see Andrew at Running Man Wannabe). Or maybe it's the reverse. Nice take on the throwback post.

  6. LOL...I don't even know what that means...stuff just comes out. Gotta stop watching so much MTV. I think I saw Traci on Cops last week.

  7. Oh...and I love how you had no tolerance for socks back then. Even with those loafers. That’s just bad ass.

  9. Quinton must be scared and/or intimidated. He has not posted his weekly Throwback today.

    @Sam: The pop collar was so 80s. This was the 90s. Mc Hammer and Vanilla Ice.

    @Adrienne: I prefer to call it the Macgyver. Mullets sound so southern rockish. :-)

  13. OK..sorry....

  14. @Silly Girl: LOL. I was like 12-13 years old. We all looked dumb back then. Your too young to know feathered hair and parachute pants. It was cool back then. One day in 20 years you will look at your pink camo running skirt and say "what was I thinking". LOL.

    Looking back, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer were silly but I guarantee everyone my age loved them at one point and can still sing every word of the "Ice Ice Baby" and "Hammer Time". :-)
