Prom Season is upon us once again. Let's hear some Prom stories. Did you actually go and have fun?

My recollection is that prom brings stress and anxiety as one of the first young adult milestones. The expectations are sky high, the preparations are wedding-like, and the reality is that a bunch of kids go to the biggest high school event of the year for about 30 minutes between an expensive dinner and an underwhelming after party. And that's coming from someone who enjoyed his 80s-era prom.

80s era prom here, as well. I think I enjoyed it. My girlfriend's very cool dad let me drive his Jag which was awesome. I remember dinner, then a bunch of us spending the night at my girlfriend's house afterwards, but absolutely no memory of the dance itself. We were tame kids - no alcohol or sex romps.

Nowadays it is the exception to take a date. Kind of sad. My boys each took dates, but my daughter went with a group of her friends in the middle of covid.

Mid-late '90s, but it wasn't a huge deal in the one HS town where I lived. We had dinner in New Braunfels at somewhere decent and I got to use my dad's car instead of the late '70s POS that I normally drove. Not a lot of dancing but there were ducks at the park to throw stuff to.

7/10, overall good experience.

Late 80s prom for me. True story, got to prom late because I was busy becoming a man for the first time!

Promiscuity

I never went to my Highschool proms because there weren't any girls worth taking and the proms always seemed lame.
I did go to Highschool Rodeo Prom and AQHyA Prom's those were a good time because it wasn't affiliated with the school and the chaperones were just in the corner at a table drinking.

In reply to Lex Thank you Lex for taking this thread to the next level. Great picture.

In reply to Philo B 93 Thank you. That dress is so fantastic. The black and white does the teal and chocolate no justice.

Sorry, Lex.


My previous post was not directed at you.

In reply to IIIHorn I didn't think it was. I assumed that was your take on your prom.

In reply to Lex


It was just another poor attempt of nausea inflicting word abuse.

In reply to IIIHorn I'm just here to have fun.

In reply to Lex


You certainly have a low threshold for entertainment.

In reply to IIIHorn Alas I do. I just enjoy this group of weirdos.

In reply to Lex Lex, will you go to the prom with me?

wbt's favorite time of year. Only thing he likes more than HS marching bands is underage girls.

What if the bands include girls? I'm guessing he likes those.

How many times did you need to become a man?

Prom in uganda. These kids parents are definitely not involved in shady business dealings or government corruption. Definitely not.

Don't even play with me. I'm obsessed with the mullets. I woulda been all about it. RyDawg has a beautiful chocolate curly mullet. All his little girlfriends love it.

I was elected Prom King. Thing is...I wasn't the typical popular, athletic type that usually wins these things. I was a quiet, shy, tall but skinny band geek. When it came time for nominations, some guys in the band decided they were tired of the same guys getting nominated for class favorite, Homecoming King, etc. Somehow my name was agreed upon and spread like wildfire though the band, choir, NHS crowd and beyond. Only the jocks and "socias" frowned on it.

Junior year didn't go bc I was grounded (speeding in a school zone and I saw the cop swerve in between school buses to catch up to me. Glad public safety was paramount there. Fascist pig) and senior year couldn't find a date so just wound up at the sketchy motel a town over for the after party with the other delinquents.

I'm going to need y'all to whip out the shoe box of days past and find me some pics so I can see who was bangable. I need to know who I woulda been caught on a backroad with after prom.

I guess I'm gonna have to buy some stars.

In reply to The Chicken Ranch Do it

In reply to maroon barchetta Did you wear a Texas flag vest or something?

In reply to Lex No vest. Tie and cummerbund.

Waay back in the 70's for me. There's a picture somewhere in my house of me in the tux with the ruffled blue shirt. Something like this I'm sure. I was stylin'!
