Joe: Out, Out, Damn Turtleneck

On his Facebook wall, Joe Paisley (aka "Joe in the Morning") of ESPN 1080/KVNI writes: "Remember that one time that someone told you that they really liked your turtle neck? No you don't, because no one has ever said those words ever to anyone." Which prompted me to comment that I recall those halcyon days when "Dickies" were in. A Dickie was a faux turtleneck that you slipped over your head and under your shirt to resemble a turtleneck -- sorta like a fake tie. I wore them in high school. Fortunately they went the way of bell bottoms.

Question: Which questionable fashion fad did you embrace in your glory days?
