On a Scale of 1-10, How Socially Acceptable is it to...




Wear Abercrombie and Fitch

Check your calendar. If it's after the December 2003, then a zero.


I know that it was a big part of some of our lives (cough, Becky Kaganov), but so was "The OC" until season 3 and we all let that go two episodes into season 4 (at the latest). To put it into perspective, you're a babysitter. If A&F's bedtime is 10 pm, it's already 1 am... the next day.

Abercrombie and Fitch is a great example of one of those fads that all you have to do is add an E on the end. Fad + E = Fade. And no, that E is not referring to ecstasy. In fact, I'm not sure what the E stands for but regardless, the point I'm trying to make is simple: just because LFO writes a song about something, doesn't mean it can last forever.
More evidence: "Girl on TV" was about Jennifer Love Hewitt's career.


This is a true life record of how the conversation went when LFO first serenaded me with Summer Girls:



Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer
So, if I were to stop by say, in November, would that not work for you? Okay, let's shoot for *thumbs through datebook* July 9th? Okay, July 9th for now, but it's really gonna depend on my unpaid summer internship, oh, and when my parents want to go to the Cape. So, I'll let you know.

Do you remember, Do you remember? When we met, last summer??
I mean, it was like a month ago, so yes, I recall.

New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
Sucks fo you.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
Yeah, cuz most of them are sloots,, duh.

I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer
Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
I respectfully decline to comment.

Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see,
Look brosef, I wasn't born yesterday. Unless you've never opened a Victoria Secret catalogue, you're
just lying to get in my pants.

The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Something in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Oh, just ignore that. It's probably my new acuvue day and night color contacts.

Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
I mean, he was. That's the whole point of the movie...

Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
I got a new phone so I don't have your number. Maybe if you responded to me "Need Numbers" facebook event, we wouldn't have this problem.

Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
Now you're just making shit up to rhyme with the word "speaking." Are you high? There's so many
more logical choices: seeking, thinking, freak-a-leaking...

When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
The more I think about that, the more I realize this really isn't gonna work out. What will we eat on Christmas?Next your gonna tell me you're allergic to movies. I'm already trying to ignore the fact you're not Jewish, but, you really aren't making this easy.

And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer

Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world

You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
You obviously know nothing about me... This is where I start to think there's another girl, like that time you called me Carla by accident. Plus, you know the only lemonade I'd even drink is crystal light mix!

There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

In the summertime girls got it going on,
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like,
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
So that was YOU! Grrr...

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Are you high?

Call you up but whats the use
I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
We have nothing in common.

Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
but I'm really not sure
Well, can you make up your mind before I book this flight? I really don't feel like paying the change fee.

When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch


Needless to say, "Rich" broke up with me January, 2003 because I refused to wear my A&F ripped jeans and jean jacket-with-tha-furrrr-tha-whole-club-was-lookin'-at-hurrr. We haven't spoken since, not even a text, mainly because we never exchanged numbers again after that time I lost my phone.
