No - that was one of the others on that thread.

I dread to think what other horrors might have occurred later on that evening.

Ah, must've missed that post. The runner up to the most orange douchbag is quite startling too:

It has to be a wind up, doesn't it?

Take a vacation to the Italian sections of Queens, Bensonhurst, or Staten Island, and you'll have your answer.

I'd heard about this cultural phenomenon, but I still don't quite understand how it started. Was it perhaps started by the 'muscleman' types who would spend all day working out at those 'beach gyms' in Florida, California and the like? I assume the resultant tan would be a side-effect of the quest for (ridiculous) buffness.

Alternatively, just "go down the Shore".

And "Italian-American", please. You've got to be at least one generation removed from the Mezzogiorno (and more likely two or three) before you think that look works.

I can't find a pic of Gazza with hair extensions on the web. Anyone got one? I seem to remember he might have had a bit of a tan at the time. Could be my mmory deceiving me, though.

A quick Google image search for "Gazza hair extensions" brings up this , which is, I feel, somehow appropriate.
