After smoking crack under the Cadaver bridge, we crafted this mildly entertaining (at best) article about the shows of our youth.
Then we decided that these would be perfect mixer/theme party ideas. Read along, we think we've got something here, most likely...not.
"Clarissa Explains It All"
Sam: Watered down grunge look: bowl cut, plaid flannel tees, throw in some acid wash jeans and a ladder to get in the window. Add a nice guitar riff everytime you move, and you're set.
Ferguson: Basically anything Smith Gardner would wear: flaming red hair, short shorts, bow ties, and pleated pants to perfect the annoying little brother vibe.
Clarissa: Goodwill-Gone-Wild...leggings, wild colors and prints, headbands and scrunchies, and floppy Blossom style hats, almost a Mary Kate vibe...with color.
"Wild and Crazy Kids"
Basically all you need is a pair of jean cut-offs and a colored (blue, red, yellow, or pink) tee that says "Wild and Crazy Kids."
You could run relay races, spin around a bat and get dizzy, just go wild...and crazy.
"Pete 'n Pete"
We were going to investigate this one, but upon entering some terrible websites dedicated to this terrible show, we suddenly, in an eureka-like moment of clarity, remembered that we hated this show...and still do.
"Eureka's Castle"
Speaking of Eureka...maybe we were a bit too old for this one, but we watched and loved it anyway. Basically you can dress up as a sorcerer, a bat, or a dragon, and say you are from "Eureeka's Castle."
"Are You Afraid of the Dark"
Anything you can find at Old Navy circa 1992. Make sure you have a bucket of sand to put out the fire of the Midnight Society.
"Salute Your Shorts"
You need a Camp Anawanna tee shirt, jean cutoffs, and various accessories to emphasize your character. Glasses for Sponge, a fat suit to be Donkey Lips, pockets of money to be Dina, and a mullet to be Budnick. Think Anawanna, speak Anawanna, live Anawanna...UGH!
"Hey Dude"
Get some western shirts, bandanas, some tight Levis, a horse, cactus, sand, rope, and any kind of western props. For all the ladies who think mixer means slut-fest, you could be Melody, the swim instructor and wear a one piece bathing suit.
