what were those pants called?

[jan_town]

I'm going crazy. Remember those baggy & ugly & colorful pants that were popular in the 80s? I think it started with a 'z' or something. I also think that Jim McMahon of the Chicago Bears wore them. Well, maybe I just remember people wearing the pants in blue and orange colors to indicate they were bears fans.

The image of the Chicago Bears wearing zipper ankle jeans is pretty awesome.

LA is pretty neato. I'm now anorexic and I have fake boobs, I look fantastic!

Are you a postdoctor or do you have a real job?
